Welcome to the first Kinesiology Schools Australia Magazine!

Welcome to the first ever Kinesiology Schools Australia quarterly magazine. Our aim is to keep you up to date with

news, what’s been happening at the colleges around Australia and provide some articles and information to help you learn and expand your careers.

The Brisbane campus participated in the Mind Body Spirit expo in June this year, the feedback we received from the public was fantastic. Kinesiology is really starting to expand. There were 5 Kinesiology colleges there and people that had never heard of Kinesiology before the festival were talking about it. The part that made me very proud was the feedback from many people that tried the different styles. The catch phrase was, “You guys are the real deal”. It was amazing how many people made that comment, using the same words. I had a client today whose sister was at the expo and saw one of the Brisbane Diploma students. She said she didn’t know what Kinesiology was until my client had told her that she was seeing me with her son. The sister did not realise it was us that she visited at the expo. She was blown away and couldn’t stop raving about it. My client was very happy to tell her that these are the people she brings her son to. I think that this says a lot for PKP and for Kinesiology Schools Australia and for how far we have come as a modality.

Some courses are made up of bits and pieces from different modalities. A small course here and a small course there thrown together to teach some Kinesiology skills. Many of these small courses are good little courses, but the problem is that they are small little courses. They are designed to work by themselves, PKP on the other hand is an integrated course from start to finish and on completion of the Certificate IV you have everything you need to go out an really start helping people!

Dr Bruce Dewe had the foresight to think outside the square and develop a course designed to teach you, the students, excellent techniques with a very workable protocol that delivers results. Thank you Dr Dewe. As the people at the Mind Body Spirit Festival said, we are the real deal. As for the future of Kinesiology Schools Australia, every 5 years the National Training Authority changes its course requirements and 2013 is the 5 year mark. This means that there may be changes to the Certificate and Diploma from how it is at present. If you are thinking about whether to do the Diploma soon or wait a year or two I would suggest starting it now or in 2013. If you wait then there may be extra units added. We look forward to bringing you more Kinesiology Schools Australia quarterly magazines in the future, we

hope that you enjoy them, and make sure you let us know if there is anything else you would like added!

Yours In Health,

Many people find it difficult to take time out,

meditate and relax when they are in the middle of a

stressful time. Often they worry about not coping or

they perform below their capabilities, because stress

reactions take priority over any creative problem

solving.

People may only realize that they are stressed by the

time they get sick and accident prone, or they make

u n w i s e d e c i s i o n s .

Chi-Tonix teaches you how to reduce stress rapidly

while things are happening. Immediately improve your

sense of being in charge of your life and your reactions

to stress. Prevent overwhelm and stress related illness.

Some of what you’ll be learning:

Why we need a new way of handling stress

Prevent and know how to create resilience

How to take responsibility for your stress

Emotional trauma and pain is part of everyday life for

many people. How it is handled by yourself and others,

determines if the emotional injury heals or is suppressed

and healing is slow or incomplete.

Have you ever felt ill at ease talking to someone after they

have had bad news, had a loss or are not coping? Many

people feel helpless when someone else is in emotional

o v e r w h e l m .

The chance is that people around a traumatized person

close off or get distressed as well, which makes it more

difficult to support the person in emotional pain.

Emotional pain not attended to properly can be locked

away for years to come and affect all kinds of choices

people make. It can limit your potential 20 years later!

Many people stop taking good care of themselves when

life gets painful and distressing. This can have negative

consequences down the track, like illness or relationship

stress.

The Self-help course ‘First Aid for Emotions’ gives you a

clear protocol of how to assist. Just as physical first aid has

a protocol of what to do and in which order, you will be

able to follow this guidance easily and effectively. You can

learn how to keep yourself safe and centred , connected

with you own inner wisdom and resources.

Giving appropriate emotional first aid will gently assist a

person towards natural healing, rather than scarring and

creating illness down the track.

You will go home with

a manual and protocol that you can apply

immediately with yourself and your loved ones, or

anyone else that you choose to help.

You will learn how loving support changes the way

the person deals with the injury.

There are many valuable techniques for your toolkit

for life. This workshop gives you tools that work,

are practical and can be applied by anyone.

You will know what to do and what not to do, how

to listen with compassion and help the person be

present.

You will take home an Emergency Remedy, either

with essences or a Vibrational Oil, and

instructions of how and when to use it.

One of the gems in the workshop is the ‘Organ

Integration’ which helps people ‘come back to

themselves’ after being in shock. You are

connecting holding points on the body with

their associated organ and you speak words

that ease the stress.

You will also learn some great techniques to

release anger safely, without weakening your

immune system.

Changing emotions through colour is

empowering, the application of stories helpful.

‘I feel a lot more able to deal with someone who is

experiencing trauma, crisis or distress. I’ve gained a lot,

tools, methods, ideas and creative ways to help people

through their ‘hard’ times. I think the methods will

really help me heal and de-traumatize also. Thank you

for your wisdom.’ Edda

‘I am now in control, as I have tools to deal with my

traumas’ Vicky

‘I am more comfortable when I’m ‘doing something’, I

now can do more, rather than just being there. I have a

deeper understanding of what people may experience

and how I can help them to not remain stuck in the

numb state that follows trauma. I would recommend

the course to everyone, as we never know from one

moment to the next, when we may be thrown into the

middle of an emotional trauma. Emotional ‘life saving’

skills are invaluable. Yvonne

Your investment in this course is $195, which includes

Adrenal Fatigue

the 21st Century Stress Syndrome

Adrenal fatigue affects an estimated

80% of people living in the industrialised

countries, yet this debilitating health problem has

been largely ignored by the medical community.

Dr. James L. Wilson coined the term “Adrenal

Fatigue” in 1998 to identify a group of signs and

symptoms that people experience as a result of

suboptimal adrenal function. The lack of optimal

adrenal performance is often associated with the

effects of long term stress on the endocrine

system of the human body. “Adrenal fatigue” (AF)

is a label sometimes applied to a collection of non

-specific medically unexplained symptoms, but it

is not a medical condition recognised by the

mainstream medical community.

The hectic lifestyle of the 21st century is taking its

toll on peoples’ health around the world. Rapid

changing technology, cyberspace communication

instead of human contact, multitasking with

increasing demands and expectations at work,

living life to the max and having very little time for

reflection, rest and recuperation will eventually

jeopardise one’s natural energy reservoir. Our

ability to deal with the constant changes of our

modern high stress lifestyle will be greatly reduced and

“Burning the candle at both ends” is a safe ticket to

experience adrenal exhaustion and burnout further down

the track. Frequent excessive cortisol production caused

by a stressful lifestyle can affect both mental and

emotional development. Recent studies have shown that

children who were exposed to frequent stress

experienced short attention span, poor memory and

persistent learning problems. This is not surprising as one

of the long term impacts of chronically elevated cortisol

levels is shrinkage of the hippocampus, a part of the brain

involved in learning and short term memory

consolidation.

In my practice AF is one of the most common underlying

causes for a number of other related health problems

presented by my clients. The symptoms are often chronic

and unresolved after the client has sought help from

other alternative health care practitioners and general

medical practitioners. The client is desperately looking for

answers to their poor state of health and array of

debilitating and persistent symptoms.

Higher and more prolonged levels of circulating cortisol

due to chronic stress have been shown to have a myriad

of negative effects, such as:

1. Blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia

2. Diabetes: prolonged blood sugar imbalances can

lead to insulin resistance – excessive cortisol

lowers the responsiveness of our cells’ insulin

receptors (Langerhans cells) as well as the hunger-

inducing hormone, leptin

3. Impaired cognitive performance and poor

memory

4. Increased abdominal fat, which has a stronger

correlation to certain health problems than the

fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of

the health problems associated with increased

abdominal fat are heart attacks, strokes,

increased levels of bad LDL cholesterol

5. Decreased bone density

6. Decreased muscle mass and connective tissue

7. Sleep disruption (insomnia)

8. Mild depression: high cortisol has been shown to

suppress the production of the neurotransmitter

serotonin, the “feel good” hormone

9. Elevated blood pressure (hypertension)

10. Lowered immune function

11. Prone to immune mismatch responses (allergies)

12. Slow wound healing

Chronically lower levels of circulating cortisol as in

adrenal fatigue have been associated with negative

effects, such as:

Brain fog, cloudy-headedness

Low thyroid function

Blood sugar imbalances such as hypoglycaemia

Fatigue: especially in the morning and mid-

afternoon

Sleep disruption

Low blood pressure

Lowered immune function

Inflammation

In my practice the percentage of clients presenting with

adrenal fatigue issues has tripled over the last few years.

These figures are proof that suboptimal adrenal

function, referred to as mild adrenal insufficiency, hypo-

adrenal or adrenal fatigue is extremely common these

days. It is affecting people of all ages, backgrounds

and social demographics compromising their quality

of life in many ways. In order to understand how

specialised kinesiology can assist the recovery process

and restore proper function to the delicate endocrine

system, let us examine the human physiology of the

endocrine system first.

How Stress affects the Adrenal Glands

We recognise two kinds of stress. Hans Seyle has

coined the terms Eustress (good stress) and Distress

(bad stress). Prolonged unresolved distress is

damaging and detrimental to our physical, emotional

and mental wellbeing and ultimately to our longevity.

Understanding our bodies’ physiological response to

perceived stressors in our daily lives will help you as a

practitioner to work more efficiently with your clients

and ensure their fast recovery.

The two adrenal glands are endocrine glands involved

with our innate Fight and Flight response. Their

function is to help our physiology adapt to the

stressors (real or imagined) triggered by our

experiences in life.

They are made up of two divisions: the outer cortex

and the inner medulla. The cortex produces cortisol, a

hormone that influences inflammation, wound

healing, allergic reactions and a diverse spectrum of

diseases ranging from lupus to asthma and arthritis.

The medulla also releases a powerful hormone into

our blood – adrenalin. This secretion has a direct and

pervasive effect on our nervous system, more

8

specifically the sympathetic nervous system.

Adrenalin belongs to a group of chemicals called

catecholamines, which have a profound effect on our

sense of wellbeing and energy levels.

The pharmaceutical industry produces drugs which

mimic catecholamines and they are used to treat

depression. However, these chemicals can not only

remedy your low mood and energy levels and induce

an artificial “high” they can also dramatically increase

your heart rate and make you sweat more.

Whenever adrenal function is suboptimal, there is a

tendency to develop hypoglycaemia, low blood

pressure, low body temperature and a general

feeling of exhaustion and uneasiness. Exercise

becomes more difficult to sustain and endurance

diminishes. In fact, adrenal exhaustion has been

linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and immune

dysfunction.

A poor diet can increase your susceptibility to Adrenal Fatigue

Anyone can experience adrenal fatigue at some time

in his or her life. However, there are factors that

increase your susceptibility to AF. These include a

hectic lifestyle with poor diet, lack of sleep or

relaxation, substance abuse, chronic illness, repeated

infections or maternal adrenal fatigue during

gestation.

There are endless sources of stress we all experience

on a daily basis. The question is why do some of us

handle stress so much better than others? All of us

are equipped at birth with the essentials for

managing stress. Dr. Georgia Witkin-Lanoil, author of

the “Female Stress Syndrome”, believes that “weak

links” could be the cause. She identifies these weak

links as “vulnerable points” in our psyche and body,

created by poor diet and lifestyle choices, accidents,

childhood experiences and our genetic make-up.

Each one of us has a natural stress tolerance, the

ability to handle life’s constant ups and downs and

what we perceive as stressful, challenging, annoying

or threatening. Someone might feel challenged by

having to deal with constant deadlines at work, a

toxic work environment and financial pressure

whereas your best friend finds it difficult to control

their pubescent teenager or spouse’s irrational

spending habits.

Our individual stress tolerance depends on a number

of factors:

Does your “Inner Critic” dictate everything you

do and keep raising the bar?

Is your “Perfectionist” never satisfied with your

achievements and constantly

strives for more?

Are your reactions triggered by unresolved

fears from old references in the past?

Low self-esteem: Am I good enough? Do I have

to work harder and harder to please others?

Genetic predisposition (maternal influences, AF

during gestation)

Your constitution (strong or weak)

Current nutritional status

Access to effective stress management

techniques

Support from family and friends and other

support groups

Keep your Inner Critic in check

9

The balances need to address the client’s learnt

conditioned reaction to how they currently don’t handle

the demands in their life, modifying the automatic stress

loop, establishing effective stress defusion and coping

techniques such as Emotional Stress Release (E.S.R for

past-present-future events or Frontal Occipital Holding,

Worry Box, Grounding Road, Role Play, Positive Language

Reframing to name but a few).

PKP offers 3 specialised finger modes that deal with

adrenal problems and enables the practitioner to assess

the current state of stress and overload. Based on Hans

Seyle’s “General Adaption Syndrome” there are three

distinct stages of stress responses:

1. Alarm Phase (Fight & Flight response)

Personal Ecology 1a: Adrenal Alert without Action

2. Adaptation (Resistance) Phase

Personal Ecology 1b: Adrenal Vigilance

3. Exhaustion Phase

Personal Ecology 1c: Adrenal Exhaustion

The PKP protocol is an effective and logical sequence of:

Balancing the adrenals by assessing the function

of all adrenals muscles (sartorius,

gastrocnemius, gracilis, soleus) and the central

nervous system (CV; supraspinatus and GV:

teres major)

Clearing the unresolved perceived stress

(conscious or subconscious) with appropriate

age recession (specified or non- specified) to

improve the client’s “adaptation energy”, the

ability to handle futures stressors with more

ease

Discussing realistic lifestyle changes with client:

learn to meditate, have at least 3 early nights a

week (retire no later than 10 pm), join a social

group to deal with isolation or loneliness,

terminate a toxic relationship, refer to a

financial advisor to consolidate debts. The first

step is always the most important step to

ensure the client’s recovery.

Educating the client about the need for

recovery and adequate healing time. There is

no quick fix and patience is required.

Depending on the severity of AF it can take

from 3-6 months to fully recover and regain

the zest for life.

Monitoring your client’s new lifestyle regime

and encourage them to have a follow up

session each month until their life energy is

back to 100% and the stress is 0%

Dietary changes:

Avoid stimulants such as tea and coffee

(they add stress to the already tired

adrenal glands)

Eat breakfast within one hour of

waking, lunch between 11.30 am –

12.00 pm (avoid having lunch after

1.30 pm) and dinner between 5-6 pm.

Have smaller nutritious meals with a

good source of protein frequently

throughout the day.

Nutritional support: eating the right foods and

a high quality supplement regime ensure a fast

recovery from AF. A number of important

nutrients are required to counteract the

damaging effects of stress to the nervous

system and kick start proper adrenal function.

During times of stress our nutritional

requirements quadruple. It is impossible to

ingest all essential nutrients from our diet

alone.

Endocrine System.

(developed by Dr Bruce & Joan Dewe)

Essential nutrients that support Triple

Warmer meridian and Adrenal Function:

Vitamin C : the adrenal gland is one of the organs

with the highest vitamin C concentration on the body

and is depleted from the adrenal cortex upon high

cortisol secretion. It is required for the biosynthesis

of noradrenalin from dopamine and the biosynthesis

of steroid hormones. It is also involved in the

synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine.

Some chronic fatigue sufferers (CFS) have been

shown to have an 80 % reduction in normal levels of

vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water- soluble vitamin which

needs to be obtained through our diet and/or high

quality natural food concentrates in order to

counteract the nutritional deficiency. In my practice

my clients have achieved remarkable results by using

the GNLD wholefood concentrates (WFC) . It is

absolutely crucial to supply the body with food based

supplements rather than synthetic products as they

provide optimum cellular nutrition with the highest

life energy and biochemical support.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): an essential cofactor in the

production of adrenal hormones. It is essential for

energy production in the brain, therefore mental

efficiency and a feeling of well-being are dependent

on this nutrient. B1 plays a crucial role in the

metabolism of glucose, so that even a mild deficiency

can result in apathy. It protects the adrenal glands

from functional exhaustion secondary to surgery.

Thiamine injections (120mg/day), starting several

days prior to surgery and within 2 hours immediately

prior to surgery, reduced the cortisol reaction, both

prior to and at the height of surgery.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) : is known as the “anti-

stress” vitamin and plays an important role in adrenal

function and cellular metabolism. Vitamin B5 as

coenzyme A (CoA) is needed for proper adrenal cortex

function. It supports the adrenal glands in

manufacturing of cortisone (pre-cursor of cortisol) and

other adrenal hormones that counteract the stress

response. It enhances attention span, memory recall

and learning.

Vitamin B6: is an essential cofactor in the production of

adrenal hormones. It plays a critical role in brain

function as it is involved in the synthesis of all amino

acid neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin, dopamine,

melatonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, GABA etc). It

supports optimum nervous system function and

influences cognitive function. It is the “anxiety &

stress” vitamin.

Phytonutrients “Tre-enen” (lipids and sterols)

Lipids and sterols are vital to

our physical and mental/

emotional wellbeing They are

needed by the mitochondria

and adrenal glands to produce

sustained energy. This is a

unique plant based product

made from wheat, soy and

rice, phytonutrients that are

increasingly missing in our

modern Western diet. These

lipids and sterols have a

harmonising effect on the entire endocrine system and

also balance the reproductive system and important

neuro-transmitters in the brain. Only available through

GNLD International (www.gnld.com.au).

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (Salmon Oil Plus)

Omega 3 essential fatty acids are crucial to restore

balance to the triple warmer meridian (adrenals) and

the phospholipid layer of our cell membranes. They are

also natural anti-inflammatory nutrients reducing the

production of prostaglandins. They are beneficial for

allergy sufferers (immune mismatch responses), skin

conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and depression,

including post-natal depression.

Adrenal Fatigue Case Study (Female, 55)

I would like to share one of my client’s remarkable

recovery from adrenal exhaustion. Her journey is a typical

example of someone whose state of health had

deteriorated dramatically over a short period of a couple

of months due to an accumulation of several stress

factors that had built up. My client (K.M.) is 55 years old,

married with 2 grown up children and in full-time

employment. She has a melancholic temperament and

has been prone to bouts of depression in the past,

especially in winter. She had a habit of retiring quite late

(around midnight) as her husband likes to stay up late.

She ignored her body’s initial signs of fatigue around 9.30

pm and forced herself to stay awake.

Here is a list of symptoms she presented with in my

practice: recent anxiety attack and inability to cope with

her daily responsibilities at work and at home.

Palpitations and racing mind with constant worrying

thoughts, noticeable weight loss (she had lost 4 kg and

weighed only 48 kg instead of her normal 52 kg). Extreme

fear about her poor state of health combined with an

inability to relax or switch off. She had consulted a medical

practitioner a few days prior to our session and she

explained how worried she was as the GP had no proper

diagnosis or concrete answers for her deteriorating

physical, mental and emotional health. The GP’s advice

was to take it easy for a little while and give it some time

– it will probably pass.

She had 4 PKP balances over a period of 4 ½ months (July

-November) and experienced progressive improvements

after each balance. She learnt effective stress

management techniques to change her self- talk, gained a

lot of important insights about the importance of healthy

boundaries during this time of healing.

Session 1: July 2009

The goal for the first session was “I am calm and relaxed

and in control and have high vitality and zest for life”. Her

available LE (life energy) towards the goal was only 13%

and she was holding 99% stress over it. We needed to

clear her “willingness” on a subconscious emotional level

first. Her anxiety evolved around her subconscious fear of

illness. She started menstruating at age 12 which was a

rather unpleasant experience for my client. Her religious

and constantly depressed mother didn’t explain

anything to her daughter and the whole experience left

her traumatised and terrified. She thought she was

going to die as she didn’t understand the natural

process of menstruation.

Several finger modes showed in this session, Emotional

5b – Colour gels and Structure 5 – 42 muscle balance

which we cleared using the Shell essence sequence.

After clearing a subconscious sabotage program “I can’t

help being violent” her LE increased to 72% and the

stress reduced to 53% . She could relate to this program

immediately as her familiar though patterns can be quite

destructive and violent towards herself. The adrenal

function increased from 10% to 42% at this stage of the

balance. Personal Ecology 1c : Adrenal exhaustion was

the first finger mode and the emotion involved was

“passive- self to self”. She related this emotion to her

debilitating state of apathy and lethargy resulting from

her constant fear of getting sick and heightened state of

alertness. She needed nutritional home support: 3

tablets of Tre-en-en (lipids and sterols) morning and

evening and 12 tablets of vitamin E daily for 2 months.

Follow up session in 10 days. We also agreed on having 4

early nights a week retiring around 10 pm instead of 12

pm.

Session 2: August 2009

K.M. is feeling more relaxed about life and more in

control of her mental and physical state although she

still finds it difficult to unwind and relax after work. Her

irrational fear of becoming seriously ill and dying is

rather intense and there is also a feeling of “What is life

all about?” This indicates a state of mild depression. She

is worried about her daily negative self-talk and

obsessive thoughts. She lost her appetite and finds it

difficult to eat regularly.

We balanced her centering reflexes (electrical 2a -

cloacals), which are often out of balance when we are

not coping well with life’s pressures. Balancing the

cloacals helps any chronic conditions, increases life

energy and enables the nervous system to return to a

state of homoestasis. Personal ecology 1 b – Adrenal

vigilance presented next. She is using up a lot of adrenal

energy by constantly worrying about everything. She

complains about being too tired to cook dinner for her

12

family in the evening. Nutritional support of vitamin C is

required (1 tablet of 455 mg three times daily for 2

months). This supports the adrenal cortex and helps to

counteract excessive cortisol levels. Omega 3 essential

fatty acids (Salmon Oil Plus), lipids and sterols (Tre-enen)

and a protein supplement containing all 22 amino acids

were also part of her nutritional support program.

Follow up 5 weeks.

Session 3 : September 2009

K.M. is feeling emotionally and physically a lot better

and has put on weight since our last session 5 weeks

ago. Her chronic fear of sickness has lessened and is now

less frequent. She is still concerned about the future and

concerned about the health of her entire family. The

goal for this session was “I am relaxed, enjoy the present

moment and release all unsupportive patterns of fear”.

The subconscious emotion involved was “anxiety” in the

amygdala. An unresolved issue with her daughter (32)

needed to be addressed first. My client feels

manipulated by her daughter’s emotional patterns and

experiences a lot of guilt and failure as a mother. Her

daughter displays the same neurotic patterns of

excessive worrying and high levels of anxiety and she

feels powerless to help her. We also cleared a sabotage

program with a specified age recession at age 6 from the

governing meridian (nervous system): “I can listen”. The

emotional context related to her lack of self-respect and

lack of confidence she could easily relate to. A reactive

meridian pattern in relation to self -love needed to be

cleared next. Lung meridian was the reactor and central

vessel was reactive to it. For home support I made up a

Bach Flower blend with Red Chestnut (for her constant

worries and over-concern for others’ wellbeing and

safety) and Pine (for her feelings of guilt and self-

reproach about her daughter’s psychological problems).

Follow up 8 weeks.

Session 4: November 2009

K.M. is back to her normal self. She looks radiant and

energetic and her demeanour is calm and collected. She

regained her normal weight, works out 3 times a week

at the gym and her energy levels had greatly improved.

Her sleeping pattern is regular and she enjoys going to

bed earlier feeling well rested and refreshed in the

morning. She confides that she dislikes drinking

sufficient water during the day and finds it a nuisance.

The goal for this session was: “I am okay and 100%

confident to enjoy my health and wellbeing on all

levels.”

Muscle stretch response (Personal ecology 5+) of the left

supraspinatus (CV) came up first. When she feels

overstretched or challenged by situations she doubts her

ability to cope and deal with the situation. We also

cleared a psychological reversal about the subconscious

belief that “My life is a projection of warmth” in the

kidney meridian (K 27). The emotional context was

terror. She remembered being very close to her

grandmother who died when she was only 5 years old

which was a terrifying experience for her. This was the

causal time of this irrational fear of dying that had

troubled her for decades. A reactive meridian pattern

between small intestine (reactor) and spleen (reactive)

in relation to her self-doubt needed to be cleared.

Excessive worrying depletes the energy in the spleen

meridian. The home reinforcement was meditation

twice a week for 20 minutes. The life energy was

restored to 100% and the stress “0”.

Dr Susan Eardley PhD visits Kinesiology Schools Australia

Byron Bay Campus

Dr. Susan Eardley

Kinesiology is fast becoming a sought after health profession. Dr Eardley is a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton (England) Faculty of Medicine. She is part of a research team exploring Complex Medical Systems. Dr Eardley has completed a research project into the management of chronic low back pain using the same Kinesiology protocols as are taught right here in Byron B a y . Y e s , i t w o r k e d . The study was a pragmatic, randomised, controlled trial of Kinesiology protocols for low back pain which demonstrated large effect sizes which were greater than other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) including Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Standard Care. This is the first rigorous study of Kinesiology that has ever been conducted and is the result of seven years work. The head of the Southampton University department described the project as one of the best PhD studies ever produced in the school and the external examiners congratulated Susan on an outstanding piece of academic work that was of major importance in the field of CAM. Susan visited the Byron School earlier this year and

shared her knowledge with Parijat Wismer, Principal of

Kinesiology Schools Australia (KSA) Byron Bay campus

and a senior faculty member of the International College

of Professional Kinesiology Practice (ICPKP). They last met

in Germany several years ago when training with Dr Bruce

Dewe from NZ, who is the creative mind behind the ICPKP

system used in the study.

Kinesiology Schools Australia Byron Bay provides some

of the best training available in the world. The Cert IV

and Diploma in Kinesiology are nationally accredited.

Kinesiology gives each person individual support, as

indicated by body feed-back. For the same condition,

one person may receive muscle balancing work and

postural alignment, another will detoxify or correct

nutritional issues, heal emotional pain from the past,

learn better coping mechanisms, deal with fears and

phobias, balance the acupuncture meridians, work with

essences or improve energy pathways.

As Parijat explains, ‘it is truly holistic health care in

action’

You can experience Kinesiology and observe

demonstrations when Parijat presents her free ‘Discover

Kinesiology’ 3 hour experience on Sat 26th Jan 2013 from

2-5pm. www.wellness.net.au

Over the years I have had a few conversations

with my sister about her son. They usually go something

along the lines of, ‘don’t worry, it is quite normal, he will

grow out of it, everyone develops at their own pace.’ As

relaxed as they were trying to be, it did bother them,

they had had conversations with nurses, doctors,

homeopaths, chiropractors and most recently a

specialist. You see, he is now 12 and still wets the bed

regularly. The longest he has ever gone is 7 days without

wetting, and he has never woken himself to go to the

toilet. In fact, my sister and husband can’t even rouse

him from sleep. It prevents him from enjoying

sleepovers and now, the catalyst of dread for a 12 year

old boy in his situation, a 5 day school camp looming on

the horizon of this year, just waiting to envelope him

with dread and the terror of being ‘found out’.

2 wks ago my sister asked me if I thought I could help

him. Phew, that felt like a big ask. All these

‘professionals’ had not been able to motivate any

change, I am six months into the 12 month certificate

course for BKP, what am I going to be able to do? I am

certainly not feeling very ‘professional’…..yet!

So I gratefully accepted the invitation, all the while

assuring her, and myself, that I still have my ‘learners

permit’, and that it might require the expertise of

someone with a little more experience than me!

Having only just learnt the full ‘Basic’ balance and

considering I was working on a child, I took the easiest

route available! Lol, back to BKP 103!

It took 30 mins to go through the Yin-One-Point balance,

the Sound balance and the Colour balance. It was a little

bit of show and tell for my sister’s benefit too, but I

thought my nephew might enjoy the Sound and Colour

balances. In the very least, perhaps it will make the

balance more complete by including more activities.

All in all I was very happy and relaxed with the way the

balance progressed but in conclusion, I was disappointed

with the life energy and stress level resolution. I

suggested that I thought it would be a good idea if she

found a more experienced practitioner, closer to her

home, and have a follow up consultation.

My nephew slept in the car on the way home and then

went to bed early that evening, much to my sisters

disappointment. In the world of the mother of a bed

wetter this is not a good omen for a dry night. So you

can imagine her jaw dropping amazement, when her

son rose one hour later to take himself off to the toilet

for the first time in his life!

I cautiously and humbly, played it down with my sister,

but once I was off the phone, it was high fives all

round. Yeah! For me this was a huge success. Not

expecting it to last, I was just so happy that I was able

to get such a positive result with so little experience

and so quickly!

Danny had said close to the end of the BKP 103 unit

that we now already have as many, if not more

techniques than some of the other disciplines of

kinesiology. I find it ironic that it was this unit I chose to

work with and was able to get such a positive result

with when I was doubting myself against all the other

‘professionals’, who had failed.

It has been 2 wks now, he has woken himself 4 times in

that time, and he has wet the bed just once. Even

further to add to that, he has been easier to get along

with and has spontaneously found the ability to diffuse

his righteousness. This is an unexpected bonus, from a

goal that simply stated ‘My brain goes through its daily

processes easily.’

of the college!

And now, I do expect it will last! My sister wants to and

is willing to travel for 3 hours to have all her boys

balanced, and she must be just raving about kinesiology

to anyone who will listen, and particularly about me.

You can’t buy advertising like that!

What a lovely surprise to know that already I have the

knowledge that could change someone’s life. Even nicer

for me, that I could do that for my nephew and my

sister.

These experiences, and many other successes I have had

with other people who have bravely put their bodies on

my table in the name of ‘practice’, build the confidence

of a ‘professional’.

So I say, never say no. Never think someone else can do

more than you, and have a go.

“Fantastic Ally, Just goes to show how wonderful and

powerful PKP is. Keep up your good work and trust

yourself. You are learning excellent techniques and skills.

You have showed you were willing to give it a go and as

a result have not only helped your sister and nephew but

have stepped out of your comfort zone and as a result

helped them have a better quality of life. Not even the

doctors or specialists were able to do what you have

done. Just think of what you can achieve once you have

completed your certificate IV. …..You will happily be

blown away with what you can do once you graduate

with your Diploma.“

“This goes to show that what you are studying and

putting into practice is the ‘Real Deal’”

Well done Ally.

When Ethan was 6 years old his parents knew he

was struggling. He had an illness from which the doctors told his parents that he would not be able to play sport. Assessments also showed he had the mental aptitude of a 4½ year old. They were basically told, your child is always going to struggle and be behind at school and he won’t be able to play sport. Just get him comfortable and content to spend his days as a couch potato. These were not the words they used but it was the message they gave.

To their credit, Ethan’s parents did not accept that he couldn’t learn and decided to look for help. They took him to tutoring where he was re-assessed every 8 weeks. A mental aptitude of a 4½ year old at the age of 6 is not a great way to start your early schooling life, but unfortunately it is quite common.

After 8 weeks of tutoring Ethan had progressed but quite slowly. At least he was progressing.

His mother booked in to see if Kinesiology could help him. I saw Ethan a number of times over the next 8 weeks. Our aim was, using basic non-scientific words, to rewire his brain and sort out his neurological reflexes and responses. He continued with the tutoring as well. After 8 weeks Ethan was re-assessed. This time it showed he had improved 8 months and was quickly catching up and closing in on his classmates. The tutoring company was very impressed. 8 weeks later Ethan was re-assessed once more. This time he was equal to where he should be. His

aptitude was the same as the others in his class.

Once the Kinesiology had sorted out the wiring in his head, the tutoring suddenly became easy and he understood the i n s t r u c t i o n s p re s e n t e d . H is processing ability had improved meaning he was now able to p r o c e s s a n d understand what was

being taught and could keep up with the teachers. His short and long term memory was now able to remember and retrieve the information he was being taught. Suddenly school became a lot easier and his self esteem grew in confidence. Ethan was like a new child. The child he always was but tuned up like a high performance vehicle.

I saw Ethan a couple of times over the next 2 years to make sure he was on track. He had progressed from the bottom of the class to the higher end of average. The family was happy with that.

What they didn’t expect, but I often see in clinic, is that Ethan’s sporting ability had also improved. This often goes hand in hand when the cause of learning difficulties is addressed.

Two years after being told he would never play sport, at the age of 8, Ethan’s mother enrolled him in gymnastics. He picked it up so well that by the age of 10 Ethan made the state team and represented Queensland. I’m told it normally takes about 5 years of being in gymnastics to make the state team. Ethan did not just make the state team, he won GOLD ! Not bad for someone they said would never play sport.

Every year after that Ethan made the state team and moved to elite athlete status. At the titles each year Ethan would win between 3 to 5 Gold medals.

Nearly every year, about a week or two before the state championships or national titles Ethan would manage to injure himself. He would usually injure himself quite badly in fact. They would be bad enough that he would be told by the medicos that he would not be able to compete. They would only look at the physical side of his injuries.

Through Kinesiology we were able to look at how his headspace, emotions, was affecting his physical body and work on them both as one.

Ethan’s Olympic Story Elite Athlete and Olympic Diver Ethan Warren’s journey from struggling 6 year old to the 2012 London Olympic Games!

By Danny Liddell, CEO Kinesiology Schools Australia

their Silver Medals at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth

I learnt to keep a booking available for Ethan during these periods as it was almost a given that his mother would phone. With the wonders of Kinesiology, he would be up and going and not just in the competition but winning gold.

“As a youngster I was a state gymnastics champion. The doctors and physios would write me off after an injury. But usually with just one or two treatments, Danny would have me back competing and winning,” Ethan said.

At the age of 14 Ethan needed a change and tried his hand at Trampolining and Diving. He competed in trampolining for 2 years and won a silver medal. This was his second sport and he won a state medal.

Ethan also attended a training camp for Diving. They saw so much potential in him that he earned a 3 month scholarship to the Qld Institute of Sport. He was then rewarded with a scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).

Ethan quickly become an elite diver and member of the Australian team and has won gold medals in the prestigious Grand Prix events. There are 6 of these world events each year and Ethan has won 3 of them so far in 2012. Just before the 2010 Commonwealth Games Ethan broke a bone in his hand. He went on to represent Australia and won 2 Silver medals at the games.

What I haven’t yet told you is that in January 2011 Ethan tore a cartilage in his left knee. But even more concerning was that he caught a virus that affected his heart in June the same year. Within an hour his heart had swollen so much it had put excess pressure on his rib cage and kept him in hospital for 7 days. He was very ill and in a lot of pain. Doctors told him that;

if he did not make it to hospital when he did he would have died in less than an hour

if he was not as young as he is he would have died in less than an hour, plus

if he was not such a fit athlete he would have

died in less than an hour.

After this illness Ethan was laid up for 3 months. He struggled to walk up the 13 steps at home. He would make it half way then have to stop for 5 minutes before continuing. He was that exhausted. Ethan was not able to train for months. When he returned to training he was not able to get through a session. After he trained his legs would go to jelly and shake. If he ran he would only make it a very short distance before he would ‘hit a wall’. Being such a competitive athlete and such a high-quality diver, Ethan was still chosen in the Australian team to compete in the Olympics but stayed behind as a precaution when the rest of the team left Australia for the pre Olympic tournaments.

In early June 2012 Ethan contacted me and asked if I could help. After the first consultation he saw much improvement. After the 3rd consultation he completed a full training session and found his focus and ‘head space’ had improved. With the help of Kinesiology Ethan is gaining quickly and will join his team mates at the Olympic Village.

Ethan will represent Australia in the 2012 Olympics and is highly expected to win a medal … possibly gold. ………….. Not bad for someone told to be a couch potato and would never play sport !

Yes, this is a story of how Kinesiology can help with many aspects of health. It is also a story about not accepting possible negative outcomes or that, this is just the way it is. Ethan’s mum knew he was better than that and searched for help. She found it in Kinesiology. Ethan moved past the label that had been placed on him and picked himself up, planned and built a dream. He never gave up and through pain, illness and a get up and go attitude he believed that progress is better than perfection and that without progress you will never reach perfection.

He did not chase gold for the money. Un-like the money and sponsorship laid out to the elite swimmers, the divers receive hardly any media or financial assistance. He did this because he can.

If you run a business and can afford some sponsorship then our divers would be grateful. Australia is ranked number 3 in the world yet has very little funding.

I’ll say it one last time, “Not bad for someone told to be

a couch potato and would never play sport !”

Neural Organization Therapy (N.O.T.)

Trevor Savage & Danny Liddell

N.O.T. is one of the most advanced Kinesiology therapies available. Under the guidance of Trevor Savage practitioners will gain valuable techniques and knowledge that will help take their practice to a professional level and provide the skills to be a success. This course taught by Trevor Savage and Danny Liddell will provide you with the skills and backup you need to be a successful practitioner. Trevor Savage is the most experienced N.O.T. lecture

around. Trevor with the help of Dr Karl Ferreri, the

researcher and developer of N.O.T., turned N.O.T.

from a Chiropractic only course into a course for

advanced Specialised Kinesiologists. Trevor’s

understanding of the bodies reflexes, Kinesiology and

Chiropractics made Dr Ferreri stand up and take note.

This high expertise and knowledge that Trevor

possessed showed Dr Ferreri that Kinesiologists can

be quality practitioners and earned the right to learn

this magnificent course.

The philosophy and guiding principle of N.O.T., on a scientific level, is that in order to understand how our basic physiological functions work today, we must look at our primitive origins. We were created to exist and survive in a hostile environment. Therefore, essentially everything we need for survival, with the exception of food, air and water, must be found within the body itself. It is a self healing, self regulating, self perpetuating (replacing its own tissue) mechanism. These mechanisms, by their own nature, must be integrated and fully automatic from the very beginning of life. Physical or emotional trauma and poor diet can disturb these automatic functions. N.O.T. has been found to be a key to understanding many of these relationships. In short, N.O.T. provides specific protocols to reprogram and reset neurology of the body’s primal survival systems that control the nervous system that has been sent into a disorganised state. When neurology is disorganised, messages going to and from the brain are confused causing incorrect responses. In this state the body can not respond appropriately causing learning difficulties, ADHD, pain, illness and the list goes on. Many of the techniques used in N.O.T. are taught in other Kinesiology modalities. Dr Carl Ferreri discovered that combinations of these techniques when used in a specific order fixed common disorganised primal survival neurological patterns. By making many of the basic corrections, typically found in these patterns, N.O.T. quickly reorganises the neurology of the primal survival systems. Together with various other techniques known to Kinesiologists, N.O.T. has become renowned for its successful treatment with problems such as Learning Difficulties, ADHD, digestive problems, scoliosis, pain, bed wetting, cranial injuries, hormonal and endocrine problems, whiplash, blood sugar plus joint and other pain issues. NOT is accredited by both the AIK and the AKA. Dr Reza Samuat DC, a Chiropractic N.O.T. instructor and author wrote his thesis on N.O.T. . Dr Samuat states, “N.O.T. has a neurological grounding and has nothing to do with spirituality.” It should therefore be taught with that in mind. Trevor Savage ND was one of the first Kinesiologists in Australia and is the most experienced N.O.T. practitioner and lecturer. Trevor was one of Danny’s first lecturers and one of the reasons he has been so successful for so many years. Danny Liddell is a Senior Faculty Member of the International College of Professional Kinesiology

21

Practice, an award winning health practitioner and is one of Qld’s leading Kinesiologists. The 3 main Kinesiology modality Danny uses in his successful practice are PKP, N.O.T. and Hyperton-X. Danny has 17 years experience as a Kinesiologist most of which he has gained valuable knowledge and experience using N.O.T. Once students complete a course with Danny he makes

himself available as a mentor to them in the field they have

studied. His experience provides excellent backup to his

students.

N.O.T Course Structure Module 1 consists of 24 hours and provides the in depth theory needed to understand what you are doing so that you get the most out of this advanced therapy. N.O.T. is an advanced course and should be respected for that by those that use it. Module 2 provides 50 hours of theory, demonstration and student practice. Module 3 teaches students 60 hours of advanced

techniques for specialised problems and issues.

Hyperton-X Kinesiology Course

With Danny Liddell

Hyperton-X is a form of Kinesiology that specialises in 6 main areas by releasing the excess (hyper) tension (tonic) in muscles:

Flexibility Learning Difficulties Emotional Trauma Sports (performance & injury recovery) Pain Relief Allergies

Kinesiology uses the muscles like a keyboard on a computer, to gather the information from the many programs that make us magnificent humans work the way we do. We can then change, delete or add new programs to improve its efficiency. All techniques are simple, safe and effective. This course teaches how to correct imbalances and emotions that affect pain, allergies, the way we learn, play sport and recover form injury. All techniques are easy to learn and even easier to use. Hyperton-X is designed for people with no previous experience in Kinesiology or health. IT can be used for family and friends, sports clubs and is even used by professional health care practitioners.

The Heart Organ

The heart is the key organ in the circulatory system. As a

hollow, muscular pump, its main function is to propel blood

throughout the body. It usually beats from 60 to 100 times

per minute, but can go much faster when necessary. It beats

about 100, 000 times a day, more than 30 million times per

year.

The heart has four chambers that are enclosed by thick,

muscular walls. It lies between the lungs and just to the left

of the middle of the chest cavity. The bottom part of the

heart is divided into two chambers called the right and left

ventricles, which pump blood out of the heart. A wall called

the interventricular septum divides the ventricles. The upper

part of the heart is made up of the other two chambers of

the heart, the right and left atria. The right and left atria

receive the blood entering the heart. A wall called the

interatrial septum divides the right and left atria, which are

separated from the ventricles by the atrioventricular valves.

The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right

ventricle and the mitral valve separates the left atrium and

the left ventricle.

Emotional component

The Heart represents love, while our blood

represents joy. Our hearts lovingly pump joy

throughout our bodies. When we deny ourselves

joy and love, the heart shrivels and becomes cold.

As a result, the blood gets sluggish and we creep

our way to ANEMIA, ANGINA, and HEART

ATTACKS.

The heart does not ‘attack’ us. We get so caught

up in the soap opera and dramas we create that

we often forget to notice the little joys that

surround us. We spend years squeezing all the

joy out of the heart and it literally falls over in

pain. Heart attack people are never joyous

people. If they do not take the time to

appreciate the joys of life, they will just recreate

another heart attack in time.

23

Use these Affirmations with your clients!

My heart beats to the rhythm of love.

Joy. Joy. Joy. I lovingly allow joy to flow through my mind and body and experience.

I bring joy back to the centre of my heart. I express love to all.

Reference: Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life

Meridian

The heart meridian involves the cycling of

the blood as well as electrical

communication with the rest of the cells of

the whole Soul. The heart is in constant

communication with all of the organs and

muscles to determine their blood/oxygen

needs from moment to moment. The

heart generates 5000 times more powerful

electrical messages throughout the Soul

than the brain. In the Chinese belief

system, the heart is also strongly

associated with mental processes, while in

the West we have the traditional

metaphor of the heart as an emotional

centre and a centre of wisdom.

The Fire Element

The Heart meridian is in the Fire Element. The Fire Element can be represented by

the image of the hot, red sun, giving both light and warmth. It is associated with all of

life’s heat and passions, particularly with enthusiasm, vitality and “warm feelings.”

The Wood Element provides the fuel for Fire and the Earth Element is formed from

the ashes generated by Fire. The Metal Element is controlled by the intense heat of

Fire which melts, purifies and transforms Metal by forging it into a new and study

shape. Water controls Fire by tempering or quenching it.

Element Metaphor: Fire

Do you have “fire in the belly”, “passion and energy for life?”

Are you too passionate, burning up your energy stores, burning those around you or

are you too cold and unable to be passionate?

When you think of fire, what image comes to mind and what might this symbolize in

your life
