I honestly didn't expect so many of you to show up last night. 💫

My heart and soul is still buzzing from our Academy of Healing Arts Zoom gathering. Twelve of us came together, practitioners, instructors, students, and community, just to connect.

We shared our favourite kinesiology and health checks for supporting ourselves through winter, talked about what helps us feel grounded and connected to self, and celebrated the wins and joys from our clinics.

There's something so special about being seen and supported by people who just get it.

With the new moon and solar eclipse energy swirling around us, connection felt like exactly the right theme for the night. We closed with a short guided meditation on taking our next step to feel supported, grounded, and connected.

We're hoping to make gatherings like this a regular thing. If you're a kinesiologist, practitioner, instructor, student, or just curious about this world, come join our newsletter so you don't miss the next one. Sign up at aha.org.nz.

Much love, Alex ✨️

The Lions Gate Portal opens on 8.8, when the sun is in Leo, the star Sirius rises, and the Earth aligns in a way that has been understood by ancient cultures for thousands of years as a powerful window for activation, clarity, and new beginnings.

In energy kinesiology and colour work, we understand that we are not separate from these cycles.

Our bodies, our nervous systems, our energy fields respond to what is happening in the world around us, and above us.

The 8.8 portal carries the energy of: Courage and confidence. Leo energy asks us to step forward, to be seen, to trust what we know.

Abundance and manifestation. The number 8 is the frequency of infinite flow. What you focus on now has real momentum behind it.

Activation and awakening. Old patterns that have been ready to shift may surface. Old beliefs that have kept you small may finally feel ready to release.
This is a powerful time to work with colour. Gold and deep orange carry the Leo frequency and can support confidence, clarity, and solar plexus activation. White and violet support the higher alignment this portal invites.

It is also a beautiful time for a kinesiology balance, to clear what is ready to go and set your energy for what is coming.

At the Academy of Healing Arts, we teach practitioners and students how to work with energy, colour, and the body's own wisdom in ways that honour these deeper cycles. If you've ever felt drawn to this work, this portal energy is worth paying attention to.

Children are instinctive colour beings. Before they have words for what they're feeling, they reach for colour. They wear it, draw with it, surround themselves with it. And in the Colour for Life system taught here at the Academy of Healing Arts, we understand that this is not random. It is the body's intelligence expressing itself.

When we combine colour therapy with energy kinesiology, we have one of the most gentle and effective frameworks available for supporting children. Not because we impose anything on them, but because we listen to what they are already telling us.

A practitioner trained in Soul Power Kinesiology and Colour for Life can: Work with a child's colour choices to understand what their emotional and energetic system needs right now.

Use muscle testing, gently and playfully, to identify where stress is held in the body without the child needing to explain or articulate anything.

Apply simple balancing techniques from Soul Power, Colour and Touch for Health Kinesiology that support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and learning.

Support children navigating anxiety, sensory overwhelm, big emotions, sleep difficulties, and school transitions in a way that feels safe, non-invasive, and even enjoyable.

This is the work our graduates are doing every day with children and families across New Zealand and beyond. And it begins with foundational training in Soul Power Kinesiology and Colour for Life.

If you feel called to work with children in this way, we would love to support you in building those skills.

What do you do in the last five minutes before you sleep?

For me, it's become one of the most sacred parts of my day. A moment to consciously release what I've been carrying before I take it with me into sleep.

These are three of my favourite affirmations for the end of the day:

"I release all negativity and stress, embracing peace and calm."

"My energy is grounded and centred, ready for rest and renewal."

"I trust that everything is working in my favour, even as I sleep."

Repeating these slowly, out loud or in your mind, signals to your nervous system that the day is done. That it's safe to rest. That you don't have to keep holding everything.

I love combining these with colour remedies, particularly a Chakra or Ray of Light spray.

Something about the ritual of it, the scent, the colour energy, makes the whole thing feel intentional and deeply calming. A beautiful way to close the day.

Colour remedies are one of the modalities we work with at the Academy of Healing Arts, and if you've ever been curious about how colour and vibrational healing can support your sleep, your nervous system, and your overall wellbeing, there is so much to explore.

You can find out more at aha.org.nz, including courses if you'd love to learn this work for yourself or bring it into your practice.

Much love, Alex 💫

Four fingers on your forehead. That's it...

Well. Almost.

Emotional Stress Release, or ESR, is a technique we teach in both our Touch for Health and Soul Power Kinesiology courses at the Academy of Healing Arts - and it's one of the tools our students and graduates reach for most. For themselves, for their kids, for clients who arrive overwhelmed and can't find words for what they're feeling.

Here's how it works:

Gently rest the pads of your fingers on the soft points of your forehead, just above your eyebrows, roughly halfway up your forehead. No pressure needed. Just a light, warm touch.
Then breathe. Slowly. And think about whatever is feeling big right now - the worry, the grief, the anger, the overwhelm. Don't push it away. Just let it be there while your hands are holding those points.

What's happening underneath: those points connect to the frontal lobe - the part of your brain responsible for rational thought and decision-making. When we're stressed, blood flow moves away from the frontal lobe and toward the back of the brain (survival mode). ESR gently draws that blood flow forward again. It literally helps you think more clearly and feel less flooded.
You can do this for yourself. You can do it for your children. You can do it in the school car park before a hard meeting. You can do it in the middle of the night when the thoughts won't stop.

It works. Every time.

Want to learn techniques like this properly, so you can use them with confidence for yourself, your whānau, or your clients? Explore our Touch for Health and Soul Power Kinesiology courses at aha.org.nz.

Prefer some hands-on support instead? Find a registered kinesiology practitioner near you who can guide you through ESR and other release work one-on-one.

Save this so you have it when you need it 💛

What if the most powerful thing you could learn this year wasn't a new skill - but a new language? 🌿

The language your body has been speaking all along.

Kinesiology is one of those things that's genuinely hard to explain until you've experienced it. But once you have? You start to see everything differently - your stress, your patterns, your health, your relationships.

Here's what learning kinesiology gives you:
✨ Tools to support your own nervous system & the people you love
✨ A deeper understanding of how emotions, energy and the physical body are connected
✨ The ability to do a balance on yourself, your children, your clients
✨ Confidence to hold space for others in a grounded, skilled way
✨ An internationally recognised qualification through the IKC

Whether you're a complete beginner, a parent wanting to support your family, or a practitioner ready to go deeper - there is a pathway for you here.

At the Academy of Healing Arts, we offer training in Soul Power Kinesiology, Colour for Life, and Touch for Health - from foundation through to instructor level.

I'd love for you to find your way in. 💛

As the days get cooler, something shifts ❄️

The pace of life doesn't slow down - but our capacity to hold it all sometimes does. Anxiety and overwhelm have been coming up a lot this winter, and if you've been feeling it too, you are not alone in that.

We see it across all ages. Children navigating school pressure, friendships, and big feelings they don't yet have words for. Teens carrying the weight of hormonal changes, social dynamics, and the pressure to figure it all out. And adults holding the everyday - while also healing from stress, injury, or simply too much for too long.

You are not alone in this. 💛

Kinesiology is a holistic approach combining muscle testing, acupressure, lifestyle and nutritional evaluation, and energy medicine - gently working with your body's own intelligence to restore balance and calm.

It can help to:
🌿 Calm the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety
🌿 Restore balance to the body's energy systems
🌿 Uncover the deeper emotional, nutritional or environmental roots of what you're experiencing
🌿 Learn tools you can use yourself - because healing doesn't stop when the session ends

Your body knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs a little support finding its way back.

Ngā mihi o Matariki ki a koutou 🌟

Matariki is here. The Pleiades are rising, and here in Aotearoa we have a beautiful invitation to do what we so rarely give ourselves permission to do - pause, reflect, and remember.

Today, 10 July, we officially celebrate Matariki as a nation. But the energy of this season doesn't arrive on a single day. It's already been here - in the stillness of winter mornings, in the urge to slow down, in the way something in us wants to look back before we look forward.

In kinesiology, we talk about the body holding memory. Not just of what has happened to us, but of what we are ready to release. Matariki feels like a natural time to honour that.

What needs to be acknowledged before this next season begins?

What are you grateful for, even in the hard parts?

What do you want to grow from here?

These are the kinds of questions that live at the heart of kinesiology work. And they're worth sitting with today, wherever you are.

Share below how you and your family celebrate Matariki ✨️

Tools of the Trade - Crystals 💎

Did you know the Ancient Egyptians are believed to be among the first people to use crystals for healing? Lapis lazuli, carnelian, turquoise... worn to protect against illness and negative energy.

Thousands of years later, we're still drawn to them.

And there's something in that worth paying attention to.

At the Academy of Healing Arts, we explore the healing properties of crystals and gemstones as part of our Colour Kinesiology Level 3 and Soul Power Kinesiology Level 6 courses - weaving ancient wisdom into a modern, body-centred practice.

If you've ever felt inexplicably drawn to a particular stone, you might be closer to this work than you think. 🌿

Explore upcoming course dates at aha.org.nz or DM us to find out more.

We'd love to know - what's your favourite gemstone? Drop it in the comments 👇
