Modern medicine does not have the answers to many problems that afflict the body and the mind. While it is only in the past few years that doctors have found the link between stress in the mind and its effect on the body, specialised kinesiology a holistic healing technique goes beyond that.

Originating in Burbank, California and now in 17 countries, this technique relies on the principle that the feelings we experience from the foetal stage are imprinted into every cell,the micro-chip that controls our reactions in adult life. Sounds unbelievable? Ritu Malhotra who has a Ph.D in specialised kinesiology from the International University of Complementary medicine and trained at Burbank, California, demonstrates its proof. 8220;Every cell in your body carries the memory of every feeling you ever experienced. This cellular memory is what controls your life.8221; She puts her fingers on my extended arms and asks me to think of an enjoyable experience. My arms do not move.

Next, she asks me to think of a stressful, moment, something that was embarrassing. I recall something that happened years ago. To my surprise, my arms become weak. I felt no pressure from Ritu8217;s fingers, so what happened? 8220;Your muscles became weak because that old memory is still locked in your cellular memory. They still hold that embarrassing moment.8221; Well, so maybe this cellular memory has something going for it. But what exactly is it?8220;It8217;s simple, really. Uptil now, we have seen our problems as only physical. That pain in the leg, those asthma attacks, all of these have been treated as problems of the body. Specialised kinesiology goes beyond that 8212; establishing the link between the mind and body via cellular memory.

8220;By the time a child is seven years old, he has established a belief system, whether the world can be trusted, is it a fearful place or not and so on. So, what this child does for the rest of his life will depend on this essential belief system. 8220;Take for example a CEO of a huge multinational company. Let8217;s say that when he was a kid, he tried to take a catch and failed. His friends yell and label him as clumsy. He goes home and inadvertently drops a glass of water and his mother yells, 8220;Why are you being so clumsy?8221; This gets registered not only in his mind but in every cell of his body.

So, when there is a company cricket match, his cellular memory from his early childhood and embarrassment, will subconsciously interfere with his ability to succeed. 8220;Kinesiology gives us an opportunity to identify these early self-imposed limitations and de-stress them so we can choose to change our behaviour.8221; says Malhotra.

So, how does kinesiology work? 8220;It works by giving you a choice. By accessing these cellular memories through precision muscle testing, we can identify and change any of the preconceived ideas a person may have of himself. Let me give you an example. This 12-year-old boy was referred to me because he used to get headaches that kept him away from school. On the day the appointment had been fixed, his mother called up to say that her son refused to come but could she check it out? 8220;During our sessions, we figured out that she was dissatisfied with her life and as a result constantly screaming and threatening to leave the house.

With kinesiology she was able to identify childhood feelings that she could see were influencing her present situation. She was able to change the way she saw life and make positive adjustments. At the end of our sessions, I asked her about her son8217;s headaches and she replied, They8217;re gone.8217; The change in her stress levels had reduced the tension in her son,8221; Malhotra reveals.

Malhotra expands,8220;Let me first of all put it on record that kinesiology is not a solution to asthma, or any other aches and pains. It is important to understand that this work is not for medical problems that8217;s the doctor8217;s job. We are concerned with stress release and reprogramming childhood memories. Kinesiology works by helping people find the cause of their problems, so that they can heal themselves.8221; For the alcoholic, drinking is the only way he knows. But if he can be shown why he resorts to drinks, what are the long-forgotten emotional conflicts that are not yet resolved, he can then begin to even think of a life without alcohol. Kinesiology simply offers you a choice, by opening the secrets of the mind via cellular memory.
