We all have fears and limitations. When we perceive something as dangerous, a part of the brain (amygdala) triggers and we react without having time to think. Every time something fearful happens we lock the experience away for future reference. We literally ACT, THINK, STOP. This panic reaction puts us at risk of taking the wrong action.
Fear is the most powerful human emotion. The […]
Our ability to comprehend, understand and create solutions is the purpose of learning.
From our first to our last breath we are learning: new skills, ideas and concepts and better ways of doing things.
Jimmy Barnes the former lead singer of Cold Chisel said recently (something to this effect). “Every mistake has made me a better person”. Learning is about finding solutions […]
A short history of Kinesiology
Kinesiology (kin – easy – ology) traditionally means “the study of mechanics of movement”.
In the 1960s a chiropractor, Dr George Goodheart combined muscle testing techniques with chinese acupressure create Applied Kinesiology. AK is only available to scientifically trained practitioners such as chiropractors, doctors and dentists.
In the 1970s another American chiropractor Dr. John Thie (a student of […]
Ionisation describes the balance of positive & negative ions. Every molecule has a nucleus of positively charged protons surrounded by a field of negatively charged protons. In stable molecules, these two forces are in balance (equilibrium). Electrons are 1800 times lighter than protons & can be easily displaced from their orbit. This produces a molecule with a negative charge. The […]
Helping yourself
How can we best allow change to occur? It does not mean just sitting back with the attitude, “the universe will provide”. We still need to take steps to help ourselves.
Relaxation is the first of these. Resistance creates tension. Let go of the controls a little. When we are tense and rigid we tend to react more, which blocks awareness. […]
Hearing is a passive action, something most of us just do. Our ears are the means by which we hear and listen (there is a difference). The ears have many more functions:
Balance. The vestibule, which is part of the inner ear, controls balance, coordination, verticality, muscle tone, posture and the muscles of our eyes. Because of the vestibule we are able to develop an image […]
If we are not moving, we are deceased. Every action involves movement – breathing, digestion, learning, playing, etc. Tight muscles & restricted movement have an impact on our body/mind co-ordination. Imagine every muscle in our body sending messages via the Central Nervous System to the brain, telling us the exact state of each muscle. The brain integrates & uses this […]
“Even the least among you can do all I have done and greater…” – Jesus
It is not the outside world that stops us as much as what our inner dialogue tells us. Maxwell Maltz in his book “Psychocybernetics”describes humans as being “goal orientated servo- mechanisms” (thinking machines). We achieve exactly what we deeply believe to be true, i.e. a person who internally believes […]
We use colour to describe moods, emotions, feelings, etc. People see red, have black moods, feel blue, have green fingers, to name a few. We are all affected in some way by colour. Interior decorators use colour to create or set the tone of a room. Advertising manipulates the affect of colour to “assist” us to buy products. Colour sensitivity […]
