What do we actually mean when we talk about ‘balance’ in kinesiology?
It’s a word you’ll hear a lot.
“We’re going to balance that.”
“Come for a balance.”
“Let’s see what needs balancing.”
But what does that actually mean?
In Kinesiology, we look at the body as a whole, recognising that different aspects of our wellbeing can influence one another.
Physical or structural.
Nutritional or biochemical.
Emotional.
Energetic.
Rather than looking at one area in isolation, muscle testing gives the practitioner feedback that helps guide the session and explore where support may be useful.
A ‘balance’ might look very different from one person to the next.
It could involve working with meridians, reflex points, nutrition, structure, emotional stress or a combination of different techniques.
At the heart of this is the idea of homeostasis, which is the body’s ongoing process of maintaining a stable internal environment as conditions around and within us change.
Our bodies have remarkable inbuilt processes for regulation, repair and recovery. In kinesiology, the aim of balancing is to support the body towards this state, creating conditions in which its natural self-regulating and healing processes can function as effectively as possible.
We’re not looking for a perfect state where everything is permanently ‘in balance’.
We’re supporting the body and the person as a whole, at that particular moment in time.
What does ‘balance’ mean to you?
