EMOTIONS
Websters define emotions as “a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s
circumstances, mood, or relationships with others”. As Holistic Kinesiologists, it is this state of
mind that we consider as contributing to specific and general ‘dis-ease’ and dysfunctions of
health.
The Anatomy of Emotions
According to current research, emotions are more than a ‘natural instinctive state of mind’ as
defined but are in fact emotions are physical-biochemical messengers that affect organs,
systems and zones. Emotions are in fact physical. They are biochemical complex neuropeptides
proteins secreted by the hypothalamus which correlate with any given state. When these
neuropeptides are released into the bloodstream they target, find and land on specific cellular
receptor sites. These cellular receptor sites are on the cells of organs, glands, connective tissue,
muscles, ligaments, tendons, bone, nerve, and systems. Each neuropeptide is shaped
differently and can be differentiated from one another. That is, ‘grief’ is shaped differently than
‘anger’. ‘Fear’ is shaped differently than ‘resentment’ and so on. In fact, each neuropeptide is
designed to target and land on its specific and correlative matched receptor site. The liver holds
‘frustration’ …the pancreas holds ‘low self esteem’…the kidneys hold ‘fear’ and so on. Once the
cellular receptor site has been activated by its correlative neuropeptide, that same system hold
a collective accumulation and may in fact alter its normal state of function due to the
bombardment and overwhelm. For instance, a lung that holds ‘sadness’, may in fact lower its
function and express its function with asthma. Another might be if the liver holds ‘frustration’ it
might in fact express itself as alcohol addiction.
Although Chinese philosophy has known of and recorded the existence of the mind/body
connection for centuries, it wasn’t until the 1970’s that the internationally recognized
neuroscientist and pharmacologist Dr. Candice Pert founded the discovery of neuropeptides.
She published 250 articles on this matter of which earned her a Nobel Prize in science.
Yet, today where the medical model states that ‘for every ill there is a pill’, the symptomatic
mediated health care model proves itself antiquated and doesn’t attempt to value the nature
and effect of the emotional neuropeptide component. What if the gall bladder which correlates
with the emotion ‘galled’, sickens to a state of dysfunction as a result of an excess of
neuropeptides? To the allopathic physician the emotional components either simply don’t exist
or becomes too foreboding or overwhelming of a task to care and nurture the recovery of such
an imbalance. Patients are excused as having ‘psychosomatic illnesses’ or said to ‘the disorder
is solely in the patients head’.
The Holistic Kinesiologist and Emotions
There is a saying ‘What the physic suppresses the body expresses’. This philosophy is of
paramount importance when understanding and applying the Holistic Kinesiology Healing
Format. The Holistic Kinesiologist considers that it is in fact ‘the body’ that holds the emotions.
The saying is recognized as true…’When you feel it in the pit of your stomach, that’s just where
it is…the pit of the stomach’. Only by releasing neuropeptides from the affected organs,
muscle, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue or systems can one truly free oneself from the
accumulative bombardment of emotional sickness and disease.
While balancing thoughts, reducing stress and easing the perception of drama is certainly
important to one happiness and emotional outlook, the HK understands that these modalities
are only a superimposition to a much larger picture. It is only by evaluating the whole person
(organs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue etc.) for emotional neuropeptides can
one truly achieve emotional freedom as well as releasing clogged neuropeptide cellular
receptors that hold the foundation of ‘dis-ease’ can one be healed.
The role of the Holistic Kinesiologist
To see with ‘Eyes that truly see’ and ‘Ears that truly listen’ is the goal of the Holistic
kinesiological exam. Most often patents/clients are subjected to medical practitioners,
psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, etc.., who implore an ‘objective’ method
and questions the patient/client so as to gain insight or understanding as to the imbalance of
the mentalization disorder.
Alternatively, the Holistic Kinesiologist is unlike all other practitioners in that the HK observes a
‘subjective’ method. That is, for the first time in medical evaluation for all of medical history, by
use of kinesiology, the client’s body tells the practitioner ‘not only what is wrong’ but’ how best
to remedy it’. Only by using this method can the practitioner truly gain insight and
understanding as to the nature of the client’s emotions and feelings as well as the cause and
cure of disease.
The goal of the Holistic Kinesiologist
Reset the neurotransmitter reflex to support the brains biochemical balance.
Support the current emotional reflex by cleansing the mind of any current emotional
stress pattern and preexisting concerns.
Release and heal human pain by evaluating the emotional subconscious and
determining neuropeptide accumulation in the body.
Support a restorative outlook by offering support for limiting belief systems or
programming.
