Metabolic Balance - Ernährungsumstellung

Nicht selten kann es bei einer ganzheitlichen Ernährungsumstellung dazu kommen, dass alte Themen, Muster oder Emotionen regelrecht hochkommen.

Keine Angst, dann sind Sie bei erfahrenen Kinesiologen gut aufgehoben.

Langjährige Kämpfe gegen zuviel Gewicht oder ständige Gewichtsschwankungen haben nicht selten eine Geschichte.

Wenn Sie sich also mal so richtig von innen heraus regenerieren wollen und sich evtl. für metabolic balance entschieden haben, dann lassen Sie sich kinesiologisch durch dieses Programm betreuen. Das Ergebnis ist umwerfend. Sie stärken wirklich Körper, Seele und Geist.

Auf der neuen hompepage 'My Metabolic Balance' gibt es ausgiebige Informationen.

Jetzt als Frühlingskur sollten auch alle, die bereits einen individuellen Plan haben nochmal einen Kickstart hinlegen. Das Immunsystem wird sich freuen!

Na, dann man los

Think positive ...

Live Longer, Better, Wiser
Thoughts Can Heal Your Body ( part of the original article)
By Robert Moss
Published: March 9, 2008, Parade Magazine

Our thoughts can make us sick, and they can help us get well. That may seem like New Age thinking, but medical research increasingly supports the role played by the mind in physical health.

Scientists first proved a link between stress and disease in the early half of the last century. Since then, researchers have examined old and new practices.

Some people still are surprised to discover that thoughts can control physical sensation. “The body responds to mental input as if it were physically real,” explains Larry Dossey, a physician and an advocate for mind-body study since the 1980s. “Images create bodily changes—just as if the experience were really happening. For example, if you imagine yourself lying on a beach in the sun, you become relaxed, your peripheral blood vessels dilate, and your hands become warm, as in the real thing.”

Similarly, under clinical hypnosis, someone who is told he is being touched by a red-hot object often will produce a burn blister, even though the object touching him was at room temperature.

Brain scans show that when we imagine an event, our thoughts “light up” the areas of the brain that are triggered during the actual event. Sports psychologists have done pioneering work in this area. In one study, skiers were wired to EMG monitors (which record electrical impulses sent to the muscles) while they mentally rehearsed their downhill runs. The skiers’ brains sent the same instructions to their bodies whether they were doing a jump or just thinking about it.

The “placebo effect” is an example of how the connection between brain and body works in healing. It has been demonstrated that when a patient believes something will relieve pain, the body actually releases endorphins that do so. In a recent study, Parkinson’s patients who were given fake surgery or fake drug treatments produced dopamine (a chemical their bodies lack) in quantities similar to those they might have received in a genuine intervention. Medical research has suggested that 30% to 70% of successful treatments may be the result of the patient’s belief that the treatment will work.

‘There is ample evidence that negative thoughts and feelings can be harmful to the body,” says Lorenzo Cohen, director of the Integrative Medicine Program at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Stress is known to be a factor in heart disease, headaches, asthma and many other illnesses.

Studies by Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and Ronald Glaser at Ohio State University demonstrate how even minor psychological stress—that of newlyweds having their first fight or of students facing an exam—can compromise the immune system. The researchers found that a marital spat delays wound-healing and that the stress of caring for an Alzheimer’s patient leaves the caregiver more vulnerable to illness even years later.

When the body fights a virus or heals a wound, it releases cytokines (literally, “moving cells”)—chemical messengers that call in immune agents. The Glasers’ research showed that stress distracts these cytokines from doing their proper work, instead sending them ranging wildly through the bloodstream. “When the cyto-kines are misdirected,” says Kiecolt-Glaser, “they produce something you don’t want—a prolonged inflammatory response that far exceeds what is needed with infection.”

Just as our thoughts can make us ill, they also can help us heal, say those who practice mind-body therapies. There is growing clinical evidence that imagery is beneficial in treating skin disease, diabetes, breast cancer, arthritis, headaches and severe burns, among other conditions. Imagery also has been helpful in managing pain. “The mind is our most potent weapon in the battle for health,” says Lyn Freeman, a researcher of mind-body therapies for chronic diseases. “It can be both slayer and healer.”

What To Do

Adjust your mind-set to promote good health:

•Take a deep breath. Hold it, exhale, then repeat for 10 minutes. Take a walk, preferably in nature. Breathe in the fresh air.

•Laugh! When you do, you pump more oxygen into your lungs, improve blood flow and boost your immune system.

•Keep a journal. Writing about emotionally charged events helps us deal with them mentally and physically.

So please - think positive!

Balancing with Children - Jon Bredal

Jon Bredal will be giving his course 'Balancing with children' in Cologne in August 2008:

Balancing with Children
Reflexes, Play and the Heart
August 22.-24.08, 2008 Germany, Cologne 9am to 5pm
Prerequisite – Brain Gym Approved for BG Licensure & Re-Licensure

Jon Bredal’s Balancing with Children: Reflexes, Play and the Heart offers an excellent, simple process for integrating primitive reflexes in the context of an honoring, loving, playful balance. Jon’s personal integrity and consciousness, as well as his superbly organized manual and class, make the course highly effective, as well as a practical sequel to BG 101 or elective for the experienced Brain Gym Consultant. Even those of us who had more than one course on reflexes found it so valuable for use with groups of children, as well as early private sessions. I highly encourage anyone to take it.
Sylvia Sue Greene, International Faculty

Would love to see you at the course.

The Father of Applied Kinesiology

Dear colleagues and friends,



I want to let everyone know of the passing of one of Chiropractic's most influential leaders, Dr. George Goodheart, DC.

He died peacefully in the evening, March 5, 2008 at his home at the age of 90.

He was the Founder and Developer of Applied Kinesiology and taught the core principles, we use in our practices. Through his remarkable observation skills and analytical mind, Dr Goodheart found that normal and abnormal body function could be evaluated using muscle tests.

Any of us that use muscle testing, owe a huge debt to Dr. Goodheart.



We'll miss him.

"I like Brain Gym"

Today I would like to share this testimonial the Brain Gym (R) Foundation received this week:

My son J. was having terrible trouble recopying text from a typed page, which is part of his typical homework. I would always have to retype the teacher's original page in larger font and double space it for him. In order to remember where he was J. had to put a check mark next to each line that he completed. Sometimes he would get disoriented in the middle of the line. It was difficult for me to watch him struggle. After a Brain Gym® balance, J. recopied his next paper with greater ease and fewer mistakes before I had a chance to retype it. The frustration was much less and at times non-existent. His handwriting looked more fluent and relaxed. It went so smoothly that I think even he noticed (not that he would admit it). However, a few nights later as he was lying in bed he said out of the blue, I like Brain Gym.

And we, instructors of Brain Gym (R) , we love this work, it is so easy and so effective at the same time. Thank you Paul and Gail Dennison.

Yours

Dr. Fred Gallo auch 2008 wieder in Deutschland

Liebe Leser, liebe KollegInnen,


Dr. Fred Gallo ist auch dieses Jahr wieder am Milton Erickson Institut in Heidelberg, um seine Methode EDxTM zu unterrichten. (www.meihei.de/)

Für alle, die ein weiteres Werkzeug, um mit Ängsten, Phobien und Panik umzugehen, erlernen wollen ist dies die Möglichkeit, den Meister selbst in Aktion zu erleben.


Block I (Level I-II) vom 17.4.-20.4.2008 und Block II (Level III-IV) vom 10.7.-13.7.2008.

Das Curriculum in Heidelberg heißt "Energie-Psychologie u. Psychotherapie-Hypnotherapie und Psycho-Kinesiologie"

Ich kann es aus eigener Erfahrung sehr empfehlen. Meine Angst im Wasser, nachdem ich als Kind fast ertrunken wäre, konnte ich mit Hilfe dieser Methode in kürzester Zeit 'wegklopfen' lassen.


Ich traf Dr. Gallo erstmals im Institut für Angewandte Kinesiologie in Kirchzarten und stellte mich als Demo-Person in einem seiner Kurse zur Verfügung. Im Beisein der Kursteilnehmer konnte ich persönlich erleben wie diese Methode wirkt.

Unnötig zu sagen, dass meine Angst heute der Vergangenheit angehört.


Es lohnt sich auch mal auf seine homepage zu gehen. (www.energypsych.com/)


Herzlichst wie immer

Ihre/ Eure
