TOUCH FOR HEALTH PROSPECTUS KINESIOLOGY TRAINING with Jane Piper K.F.R.P.
What is Touch for Health Kinesiology? Touch for Health is the most widely used energy kinesiology in the world. Combining muscle monitoring with principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, TFH enables us to balance the body on a physical, chemical, emotional and subtle energy level. Touch for Health does not diagnose or treat specific illnesses or disease; by balancing a person s energy, we stimulate the body s own innate healing ability to promote health and well-being. Touch for Health views the body as a bio-computer that is programmed by events, thoughts and beliefs throughout our lives. We respond to present situations based on this programming. When the programme is inappropriate for the present situation we can experience symptoms such as emotional stress, an inability to achieve our goals, postural imbalance, ill health or pain. Muscle monitoring is an accurate way to read the body s programming. We can then reset the programme using gentle energy balancing techniques. Level 1 of the Touch for Health training begins by introducing accurate muscle monitoring skills and a basic toolbox for balancing body, mind and energy. Each of the 4 modules that make up the Touch for Health synthesis build on the one before to create a truly wholistic, person-centred model of healing and personal transformation. The TFH Proficiency Workshop reviews the entire synthesis in the context of working with actual case studies with a view to registration with the International Kinesiology College and Kinesiology Federation and being insured to practice. A proficiency assessment is arranged after completing the Proficiency weekend and all written evidence of learning and case studies have been completed. Proficiency is just one step in the kinesiology journey.
