What is Kinesiology?
The Nicolie O'Neill Kinesiology website (http://www.nicolieoneill.com.au/) describes Kinesiology as: "a holistic, non-invasive and drug free therapy that uses muscle monitoring to identify where sub conscious stress has led to energy blockages, and therefore imbalance in the system. These imbalances may appear as physical, emotional, biochemical, spiritual or personal problems". They go on to say that "restoring energy flow through the meridian system activates the body’s innate intelligence and allows healing to occur. You can remove stress, a major contributor to the aging process, by regular balancing that can give you a feeling of love and joy, (and) your immune system will be boosted significantly."
Why did I decide to look into Kinesiology?
Even though I am on a GF diet I was still having issues with my stomach and bowels. After several medical tests I was told that there wasn't anything wrong with my stomach or bowels and it must be a mental issue brought on by me not having my gluten related issues dealt with sooner. Not long after this I was talking to one of my friends about being on a gluten free diet, also having thyroid issues (yes I have that as well) and how I am still not feeling 100% better. She (Mia) recommended that I contact Nicolie O'Neill Kinesiology, if I was open to it. I did contact them as I was getting desperate. I didn't know what other tests to do to help with my issues and YES I am now very open to it.
What am I getting out of it?
I have just had my third session and I can tell you that I am getting a lot out of them. I am feeling more positive and open to ideas. I feel like I am not staying as angry as I would have in the past if a situation/incident bugs me. I also feel like I am starting to be less stressed. I think I do have a little way to go in reducing my stress levels but I do feel that the kinesiology sessions are helping me in this area. Gloria also did some allergy testing on me and determined that as well as white flour and wheat my body does not respond well to soy and at times milk powder (1 session it didn't respond well, another session it was ok). These results have helped me with choosing the foods that I eat and have helped with some of the issues I was still having with my bowels. Now both Gloria and I believe that my remaining bowel issues are brought on by my body, my mind and internal stresses that I have. I am more than happy to continue with Kinesiology to work through these issues.

Essence readings
Gloria will give me an essence that my body needs each session. After taking the essence a paragraph needs to be read out relating to it. Sometimes I am to read it and sometimes Gloria is to read it. It is very interesting really, each week the paragraph relating to the essence really does reflect how I am feeling I don't know how she knows but she gets it right every time.
Here are the readings from my sessions so far:
Fuchsia Gum (Freedom from Claustrophobia)
To be free, to be comfortable and at peace, even when restricted. The essence of Claustrophobia, both physical and emotional. To enable a person not to feel panic in a confined space or when feeling under threat. To allow the rush of energy and fear to be earthed so rational thought can prevail.
Woolly Banksia (To Realise a Dream)
The essence of believing in success. To face new goals without fear of inevitable failure. Not to lose heart, but rekindle the desire to forge ahead with ideals, even when there is struggle and difficulty. Helpful during long, tiring and seemingly pointless phases during the journey to reach one's aspirations.
Pink Impatiens (The Courage of the Lone Traveller)
The essence for courageously standing by convictions of the heart. To be able to take the road you know is right, regardless of how others view your choices, maintaining the fight for one's morality amidst opposition. The inner strength to prevail without compromise even when the struggle seems long and potentially overwhelming.
Reed Triggerplant (The Rejuvenation)
The essence to recharge after along struggle. To bring back the feeling of wholeness of being where one's integral self is restored. To heal and then integrate and revitalize the parts of the mind and body that feel worn down. To restore inner strength, unify the mind and regain the ability to withstand the rigours of one's life.
