Interview with Wholistic Kinesiologist Lynn Higgin (Part 2)
Welcome back! Continuing our interview with Lynn Higgin, Wholistic Kinesiologist…..
Jason: Now, working with eFitness for Life, you will be working, as we do, with clients, remotely, right? Via phone consults and email correspondence yes?
Lynn: Yes, Jason that is correct! I will be doing consultations/sessions by phone with clients.
Jason: Can you explain that process a little? What is a remote Wholistic Kinesiology session like?
Lynn: What I do is basically considered remote muscle testing. As a Wholistic Kinesiologist, I have the knowledge and training of how to use the technique by doing something called ‘self muscle testing’. It is a technique that we are taught at the Institute that I trained at, and I have done extensive research on other methods of self muscle testing. One of my ‘inspirations’ is Doctor Stephen Daniels who used to be a Psychiatrist and became familiar with remote muscle testing and began working with clients by phone to address physical and emotional imbalances. He now teaches and certifies others to do this work as well! A remote session with me is basically where I can muscle test for a weak or a strong, using the self testing technique (I always use my hand to test). If I need to test a client for an imbalance, I will muscle test for that imbalance, with the intent of the client in mind. As a practitioner, I instruct my energy field to sense or pick up the energy field of the client when testing the effect of an item on the client (i.e. food, supplements etc). I also use the same technique to locate an imbalance in the client by muscle testing certain organs (like hormones, liver, colon, etc). To give an example of self muscle testing (there are many ways), try sliding your index finger across your thumb nail. A ‘true’ or ‘yes’ response will allow you to slide your index finger easily across your thumbnail. A ‘false’ or ‘no’ response will cause your finger to feel a bit of resistance in sliding all the way across your thumb. Again, this is one of many ways to self test, and I have found over the years that practitioners will find the way that works best for them. I will usually start by testing the priority of the client that needs to be addressed, then make sure that we cover all of the concerns the client has, so as not to leave anything unresolved.
Jason: What are the goals of a session like this?
Lynn: The goals of my session is to get the client optimally balanced so they feel great and are not lacking in any area that could be impeding them in their own personal goals. During the first consultation, I can determine what core issues need to be worked on based on the client’s needs (i.e. health issue, fitness goal, blocks in moving forward with career etc) , and determine what program he/she would need to achieve results.
Jason: What kind of responses can an individual expect from the use of Wholistic Kinesiology?
Lynn: The response my clients should expect should be positive, healthier and moving forward. No setbacks should occur. Even those clients who are already healthy, but need ‘tweaking’ in their nutritional program should feel a difference. Sometimes people take supplements that they simply don’t need, and that can actually have an adverse affect on the body and the client may not realize that it’s coming from that! The response should be that they feel better and more optimal then when before we started working together! Even just the comfort of knowing someone ‘has their back’ is a good feeling.
Jason: What kind of specific ailments can Wholistic Kinesiology address?
Lynn: Most ailments are basically ‘symptoms’ of a core issue. Using muscle testing, I can determine, what is going on with the client that may be causing those symptoms (I never ‘diagnose’ anyone, I always use the word imbalance). Western medicine tends to diagnose patients based on symptoms. Wholistic Kinesiology goes after the core, but I also address the symptoms as well (if the client isn’t feeling good, they may have a bacteria that needs attention, but I like to offer them something that will also ease the symptoms while we work on that core!)
Jason: What are these frequent areas/ailments/complaints/situations you are most frequently asked to address?
Lynn: The most frequent areas that I work with as far as ailments, complaints and situations are lack of sleep, stress, no energy, chronic allergies, digestive issues and hormone issues.
Jason: How does Wholistic Kinesiology assess a person’s nutritional status such as food intolerances or vitamin and mineral deficiencies?
Lynn: I have the client fill out an intake form, which tells me what is going on with them. Physical complaints, stress concerns, what they eat, do they skip meal, and what supplements/prescriptions do they take. Based on this intake, I can then assess what areas need to be addressed, which will help me when I actually speak to them I can have them be a bit more specific with me (say they eat out all the time, and get stomach pain after they eat-I can muscle test them to see if it is specific to something they are eating).
Jason: Does nutritional supplementation play a part in the treatment?
Lynn: Nutritional supplementation can play a part, all depending on the clients various needs. If I can remedy any nutritional imbalance for the client with food or diet changes I prefer to go in that direction. Again, it is determined on the very specific needs of my clients. Everyone is different!
