Touch for Health Casework Workshop

Amy Choi

Since the conception of Touch for Health (TFH), there has been various ways of teaching the techniques. First, there was the master-disciple retreat by founder John Thie, D.C. Then, there is the TFH Synthesis Levels 1 to 4, the IKC syllabus. Amy Choi would like to share a way called TFH Casework workshop which she has been teaching in China. This way of delivery puts emphasis on the global effects of TFH. It is a step to become TFH Consultants in China.

Amy Choi has been a Touch for Health (TFH) Instructor since 1998. Her experience in serving as TFH Faculty, TFH School Dean and board member gave her multiple experiences. She would like to share her experiences to more people in Asia so that more people can benefit from TFH.

Spritual Cycles in Touch For Health Balancing

Spiritual cycles are cycles through time and space where the created matter experiences the consequences of its thoughts, words and deeds as it transcends into a wiser being towards Enlightenment/Nirvana.There are many Cycles within the cycle of life frombirth to death. Some of these cycles are close ended with single/multiple rotations and some are spiralling, ending at a different place in the space as they complete a cycle. While every cycle has a process of beginning and end (Sristi, Sthithi and Laya) the spiral is immortal.

Dr Rashida Naraharasetti is a medical doctor, Touch for Heath consultant/ trainer Canada and Brain Gym consultant/instructor. She Co-authored Dancing to the Rhythms of the Cosmos and developed the “Spiritual Cycle Balance®” procedure. She teaches globally and sees clients in person and online internationally. She splits her time between her homes in Canada and India.

Nutrition and Rejuvination

Dr.dr.Tan Shot Yen, M.Hum

For the past few decades, nutrition has been on the limelight of health interest world-wide. Nutrition plays key role in all life cycle, from infancy to senior years. Good nutrition promotes health-related quality of life (HRQOL) by averting malnutrition, preventing dietary deficiency disease and promoting optimal functioning. Ironically, nutrition also contributes to devastating and debilitating non communicable diseases as well as degenerative health conditions. Inevitable premature aging and even death may become costly since today’s health care system will not reverse the existing diseases but ‘prolong life’ with symptomatic treatments. The collision between human biology, shaped over the millennia and modern technology, globalization, government policies and food industry practices have worked to create far-reaching energy imbalance across the globe. As the result, malnutrition occurs in all its forms, includes undernutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight), inadequate vitamins or minerals, overweight, obesity, and resulting diet-related noncommunicable diseases. 1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese, while 462 million are underweight. Rejuvenating is not a matter of methodology of reversing the irreversible human age, but bringing back the body nutritional requirement at its place - as a way of fulfilling the hunger of ‘real nutrition’, instead of following fad diets, nutrition quackery and charlatans.

Balancing Muscles with Chakras

Hugo Tobar

Balancing muscles with meridians is the bread and butter of kinesiologists, since George Goodheart discovered the connection between muscles and meridians. Chakras, like meridians are a part of the human energetic anatomy and have the ability to correct muscles due to the chakras connection to the nerves of the human nervous system. Like Meridians, Chakras have different emotions and behaviours associated with their imbalances which can lead to the understanding of a different kind of imbalances that effect the muscles and how these imbalances can be corrected.

Hugo Tobar is the founder of 'Neuroenergetic Kinesiology’ (NK), one of the world’s most modern and advanced streams of Kinesiology. [visit site]

Touch for Health during pregnancy and labour

Suvi Lähteenkorva

Pregnancy and labour are a transformation into parenthood and a new life. It brings along many physiological and hormonal changes, as well as changing mindset. All this can cause various imbalances in the expectant mother. There are many ways to support a new family during this process, Touch for Health kinesiology being one of them. When understanding the process of bregnancy and labour, and the way how physiology is affected by the mind, one can apply kinesiology more effectively to support the normal physiological process.

The Human Bio Sonic Field Attunement.

Kerryn Franks Sedgman

Natures' biofield is the electromagnetic field which affects all life. Human interaction with this field experiences many disruptions compromising health, wellbeing, and consciousness. In 2004 I mapped a new human bio field which interacts with natures biofield, based on an ancient healing tradition. They are the Axiatonal energy paths which flow through us from nature. Solar acupoints found at the path intersections are the energy exchange centres between us and natures bio field. Biosonic tuning forks and platonic solids are used on the acupoints to clear disrupted paths to re attune to natures field of healing and consciousness. The results have been consistenlty astounding for over 14 years. My Presentation is now a vivid 3D format which shows accuratley how this field works.

Kerryn Franks Sedgman is an international teacher, public speaker, writer and kinesiologist who has evolved her craft for over 30 years. An Australian Kinesiology pioneer with leading roles in IKC Faculty, and Australian Kinesiology, she also founded the first Government accredited Kinesiology College in 1994.

Berry's Body Management

Brian Haraga

Body management uses several simple and painless techniques to help restore the body's energy. Some of the focal points of Berry's. Body Management is in working with the organs, cranium release, cross-over switches, 4 main power switches, hiatus hernia, hip displacement, ileocecal valve, left brain Vs right brain, lower back strengthening, lymphatic ducts, prolapsed colon, skeletal structure etc.. A great way to understand the balancing techniques you will be using in working with the body is to use the analogy of the electrical wiring in a house. If the light does not come on, you try another switch, fuse, or circuit breaker. The body can enter into an ascending state of great health by getting the organs in their proper place, balancing the body, cleansing the organs, giving the body proper nutrition, exercise and rest.

Brian began using muscle monitoring for horses at age 15, By 16,an auto accident left him paralyzed. Al Berry's Body Management work enabled Brian to recover and get back to rodeoing. His work reflects his life lessons as well as his in-depth study of the body (human and animal) and how it works, incorporating many other modalities. Brian have more than 30 years of experience with people and animals. His main focus is his clinical work in Stettler, AB Canada; where he has worked with people of almost every known disease; ailment, and deformity by giving a wealth of knowledge such as the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and nutritional aspects of the body and continues to learn. He says "This healing modality allows me to help and enhance lives to its full potential in a caring straight forward manner.

The Illusive Ileocecal Valve: It's Importance to Your Health and TFH Balances

Jan Cole

The importance of the ileo-cecal valve and how it can affect our health, our stress, our energy, our behavior, our emotions, as well as, how we can help in ways to safely assist a malfunctioning valve will be presented. The ileo-cecal valve is the connection between the ileum of the small intestine and the cecum of the large intestine. It acts like a doorway between the dining room and and bathroom preventing material from going back from the large intestine to the small intestine. A myriad of symptoms can happen when the valve malfunctions from stress, emotions, pain, particular foods, dehydration, toxicities, postural imbalances, etc. We will learn to muscle earn to muscle check whether the valve is "stuck" open, closed or functioning normally and learn techniques and nutritional options to "balance" the valve for improved digestion and restored health.

The Magic of Foregiveness

BREAKING THE GRIP OF PAST LOVES

Sylvia Marina

Why does a relationship that’s over, still influence? When the feminine energy opens to another, we open not only to influence, engage, be present and experience but to incredible vulnerability. It is natural to desire, influence, know presence, power and love. But why do so many of our clients still hurt. Regardless of past choices, how much healing you/your client has done, and whether or not you are currently in a relationship you almost certainly find yourself navigating a host of issues ‘still carrying’ the residual impact of many past loves.

The Breakthru Approach with 3P.L.A.Y. – Turning Behavioural Obstacles into Opportunities

Phoebe Long Mei Wah

Stress, a major issue in teenagers and young adults, especially those with special needs, manifests as learning, behavioural and emotional challenges. ‘Quick fix’ remedies often leave parents distressed and helpless. They fail to understand that the root cause of stress is the imbalance in the family system, which must be 'reset' to restore harmony in relationships. The Breakthru Approach with 3P.L.A.Y. is a practical model for parents that replaces obstacles with teachable moments. Its three core ripples of empowerment combine the principles of Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development stages, Dr Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, Educational Kinesiology and Primitive Reflex integrations. The First Ripple (Presence, Listen, Acknowledge and Yeah!) instills the importance of timeliness and appropriateness in teenagers and parents. The Second Ripple (Plan, Language, Appreciate and Yeah!) encourages them to have an open mind to learn again. The Third Ripple (Progress, Lead, Aspire and Yeah!) motivates them to have a loving influence to make a difference and create opportunities to grow. Each ripple progressively empowers young adults and parents to manage stress calmly and mindfully. This systematic, practical approach has guided many young adults to tackle stress and transform into productive individuals. Parents are better equipped to support them and develop a loving family environment. The 3P.L.A.Y. is a mindful tool that not only provides an insight into young adults' stress issues but also restores hope in families.

Colour for Life

Catherine North

Colour for Life teaches you how to use color with kinesiology for healing the body, mind and spirit. Each level of our being radiates colour. Each cell of our physical body vibrates at a frequency which forms an unseen colour Our thought waves radiate out in vibrations as unseen colour. Our emotions vibrate at various rates creating different colours. Our soul energy is attuned to a specific colour, according to our soul’s purpose When we become stressed, unwell, or “off-colour” our body and auric vibration changes. Colour releases blocks to our well-being on a deep energetic level. Colour raises our vibration and consciousness, returning the physical body, mind and spirit to its rightful vibration and function.

Catherine is the Principal Teacher and Director of the Academy of Healing Arts, New Zealand and IKC TFH Faculty for New Zealand. She is a colour therapist and originator of two IKC certified modalities combining Colour Therapy and Kinesiology- Colour for Life and Soul Power Kinesiology. Catherine teaches students from beginner level to becoming practitioners and teachers in their own right.

in the net of our lies

ZSUZSANNA KÖVES

Are we aware that we also lie? We lie to ourselves….. Is it intentional? …… And if it is, what do we intend to achieve with it? Did our parents, (teachers, friends, etc) lie to us? …… Was it intentional?...... And if it was,what did they want ot achieve with it? Things do not happen by accident! This is also a lie. We live in constant contact. That’s true. In contact with ourselves, and with others. And if we decieve oruselves, we deceive others as well. There are many ways to deceive each other and ourselves. If we take the risk to be our true selves, we say ’yes’ even if it’s negative. And if your heart tells you to say ’no’, then say ’no’. Even if it’s negative. Maybe it’s more important to be sincere than nice. Is it????

Zen Counseling for kinesiologists

Kenichi Ishimaru

Kinesiology is a science to find the answer within. If kinesiologists have mastered a very effective goal setting method, you will become a perfect kinesiologist. Zen Counseling is the simplest goal setting method. You can become a professional counselor just in four days. If any client is also a Buddha and knows the answer within, what is the role of counselor? It is not necessary to give them any advice. To give them a chance to look inside must be good enough.
