What is Touch for Health

Touch for Health is a simple system which helps us to concentrate on health and wellbeing. While many people use it to deal with various health problems, it is equally applicable to those who come sick, in pain or feeling continually tired, your body is telling you that it needs urgent aid. Well before this, however, it has been sending you warning signs. You may have been feeling uncommonly tired or tense, be under stressed, developed allergic reactions, aches or minor digestive upsets or have that very common complaint “I just don’t feel well.”

Touch for health integrates the principles of both ancient Oriental medicine (acupressure, meridians) and Western methods of muscle testing (Kinesiology), and uses these methods to bring balance to the body’s energies allowing you to deal with these feelings of ‘not feeling quite right’ before things get to a more serious stage. The T4H system enables you to pinpoint your own particular stresses and with a variety of simple techniques begin to put matters right once again. It is a simple system that anyone can learn and use for ourselves, and with family and friends.

What happens in a Touch for Health Balance?

A series of simple muscle tests are used to identify what requires attention. The results of the tests can indicate relative tightness here or tenderness there. The clearly illustrated TFH handbook shows which of the techniques is needed to assist the body to correct the imbalance. No equipment is required, nor is there any need to undress. The procedure can be done standing up or lying down and the balancer will then place your limbs in a range of different positions and carry out a simple pressure test. These tests may also be done standing up. Possible corrections may include a form of massage on body reflex points and the holding of acupressure points. Setting a personal goal beforehand will produce even more profound results.

Who can learn Touch for Health?

Everyone, The T4H system was designed for ordinary people to use for themselves, their families and friends, so no previous knowledge or experience is required. Whatever your situation, young or old, health professional or layman, parent or business person – you can learn to use and benefit from T4H.
Touch for Health is the most widely used system of Kinesiology and is practiced world wide. Training is open to anyone interested in health care and self help and is internationally recognised as a fundamental Kinesiology. Training. Because of this you can pick up your foundation training anywhere in the world for we all work with the same syllabus.

Touch for Health is a simplified version of Applied Kinesiology that was developed by John Thie. Touch for Health is a safe, effective way to restore and maintain health and wellbeing.

What happens on a Touch for Health Course?

T4H courses are carefully graduated from the basic level 1 - 4 course that will teach you allow you to develop your skills from scratch. Level one will allow you to how to carry out a simple 14-muscle balance. The course is supported by the TFH Handbook, which after the course is over is an invaluable reference tool.

The School of Creative Kinesiology
Perceptual Bodywork Course

A professional training course focussing on the use and expansion of the senses whilst working with the body and energy systems. Many of the techniques coming from Applied Kinesiology.

Summary

A Professional qualification in Kinesiology, recognised by the Kinesiology Federation
8 day foundation training. (4 x 2 days).
12 days professional training ( 4 x 3 days).
2 days assessment
Focuses on deep perceptual awakening
Extensive range of practical techniques for use in, on and off the body
Clear methods of working with clients.

The Foundation Level Training

The foundation training for the above certificate is Touch for Health. Touch for Health is internationally accepted as a thorough foundation training for kinesiologists, and our courses are certificated by the International Kinesiology College in Zurich. A brief overview of the syllabus for Touch for Health includes: the art of muscle checking; 42 different muscles; a study of the meridian system and the Five Elements and their practical use; a wealth of different techniques and balances for working with these systems; techniques for pain; visual and auditory balancing; emotional stress release; past trauma balancing; postural stress release.

Students who have already taken Touch for Health Levels one to four are exempt from this foundation training. If you have taken an equivalent training in another school of kinesiology, you may also be exempt - please feel free to discuss.

The Professional Level Training

A fantastic series of four three day courses leading to a professional Certificate in Perceptual Bodywork (PB for short), and is recognised by the Kinesiology Federation as a professional level qualification.

Perceptual Bodywork recognises the synergetic nature of the body - the body operates as a ‘co-operative’ of countless smaller systems and sub-systems. When these systems are working in harmony, the body works as a whole with each system adding it’s creative ‘output’ to the whole. Where these smaller systems are ‘fighting’ each other, energy is wasted and creativity ‘stifles’; the body is thrown into dis-harmony, and manifests symptoms of illness, pain or discomfort.

Small but deep processes, focussed with precision, can allow profound changes, restoring harmony and synergetic balance. This depth comes with a keen level of perception, a vital skill for deep work in kinesiology.

The training emphasises a major perceptual and intuitive awakening. You will learn to ‘tune in’ to nine different senses of your own and other people’s systems at a remarkably deep level, resonating with the very physical and energetic structures that hold the memories of reactive patterns. All kinesiology processes are re-education. This only happens when we are aware of what is changing. When we become aware, and are able to help a client perceive, extraordinary changes can happen.

The course material and structure encourages you to practice and enhance your perceptual skills in a safe environment in which feedback and comment on individual perceptual experiences are highly valued and never judged. The material provides a wealth of opportunities for new perceptual experience and personal growth in the form of a rich collation of balances and techniques covering a wide range of physical and energetic structures in the body. General methods of balancing are covered, as well as processes for many specific conditions.

For more information in areas covered, please see below.
 

Assessment

The assessment is bases on the same principles as the course ethos itself, with a strong emphasis on self-responsibility. Assessment is a simple process with three sections. The first ‘theory’ section is a written ‘question and answer self study pack, which you can do as you complete each of the three training sessions. The second section is practical, for which you make a brief record of fifty balances in which you use PB. These balances can be any occasion in which you make use of the course material whether as a pure ‘PB balance’ or in combination with other techniques or processes that you know.
The third section is an assessment by a Kinesiology Federation Assessor. The purpose if this assessment is to observe your application of basic concepts and principles, and your way of working with people, not to show detailed technical knowledge. The assessment is a further weekend, the date for which is agreed by the group.

I have found to work for me over the last few years but there is no barrier to anyone developing and using their own system.

I do however feel that it is vitally important that basic guidelines are followed to ensure that the work is always carried out with the highest intent and the safety of those involved in the process is safeguarded at all times. This work has the possibility to reach great depths and help bring about huge changes in those going through the process.

Raindrop Technique

Trainer: Yvonne Jevons

Raindrop Technique is truly incredible and involves dropping neat essential oils directly onto the spinal area Following the French method of application. Feathering movements with the tips of the fingers are used to spread the oil all along the spine and the Vita flex technique is used to enhance the electrical flow along the nerves of the spinal column and so to all parts of the body. The effects of this treatment can last for up to seven weeks.

The key to its success is the use of exceptionally high quality, therapeutic grade essential oils – those of Young Living Essential Oils. The founder, Gary Young, developed Raindrop Technique and the particular exquisite blends used during the treatment.

Raindrop Technique brings about a balance within physical body, emotional body and spiritual body – connecting your aura with your physical body to assist you to feel at peace within and release all that is no longer needed to allow personal growth and harmony.

We will cover the properties and cautions of these nine oils; how and why they are applied. It is a hands-on workshop and each person will have the opportunity to give and receive treatment and you can then discover for yourself just how incredible the healing can be with Raindrop Techniques.

Tibetan Reflexology

Trainer: Yvonne Jevons

Tibetan Reflexology is an ancient Tibetan system of healing applied to the feet and lower leg to aid rapid healing. It works in conjunction with the nervous system using the Vita flex (vitality through the reflexes) technique which stimulates and heals the body, mind and spirit at a very deep level. The hand technique is a rolling movement with all four fingers as opposed to the ‘caterpillar’ moved used in classic reflexology.

This is a great addition to any Reflexologist's repertoire. A complete treatment usually lasts about 30-40 minutes, so is ideal for use during taster sessions at health fairs, when time is at a premium. The workshop is mostly hands on to enable you to give and receive treatment and feel the immense benefit of this particular technique.

Some of the things that may cause stress:

When I try to read or write, and can’t do it very well.
When there is not enough time to get things done.
When I am yelled at, or people say things to me I don’t like.

Notes for Parents
Touch for Health Kinesiology and Kinesiology in general are the fastest growing science. It is something that is available to everyone. Touch for Health was developed by John Thie, a chiropractor and Applied Kinesiologist. He loved the way kinesiology could alter peoples lives, physically, emotional and nutritionally. So twenty-five years ago he sat down and devised a health care programme that could be used by everybody. Touch for Health kinesiology is now practised in over 60 countries.

During this 3 hour workshop we are going to show you and your children ways to use kinesiology to show them how to recognise when they are feeling “out of balance.” This is what we call it when the three sides of our triangle of physical, emotional and nutrition are out of balance. It could be that they have no energy, craving foods, bodily discomfort, have unhappy feelings etc. Then carry out some of the exercises, feel and notice the change. Soon they will gain an understanding of the exercises and how best to use them.

We can also use the comfort scale of 1 – 10. To measure where we are at the beginning of a balance and where we have moved to after a balance. One being really low and fed up and grumpy too ten where you are happy, all set up and rearing to go! Great learning tools for all the family to share, even Gran!

Reiki Attunements

Trainer: Karen Pharazyn

Reiki is a system of natural healing with it’s roots dating back several thousand years. The meaning of the word can be translated as – ‘Universal Life Force Energy’.

The word Reiki can be further broken down into it’s two component parts:
Rei relates to the Universal Spirit, mysterious power, essence, boundless aspect of energy.
Ki is described as the Vital Force Energy.

‘Rei’ and Ki’ are thought to originate from ‘Raku-Kei’ from the Japanese language Kanji. Raku-Kei is the ‘art and science’ of self-improvement as used by Tibetan Lamas over a period of several thousand years.

It is likely that the technique was first used by Tibetan Buddhist monks originally, and was then re-discovered around the later part of the 19th Century in Japan by Dr. Kikao Usui.

The Usui system of healing is an essentially simple, gentle yet powerful technique involving in its main part the ‘laying on of hands’ and also Distant or Absent Healing.

The Attunements themselves opens the crown, heart and palm Chakras allowing Reiki Healing Energy to flow through and be received by others.

Reiki I

The 1st Degree Attunement awakens the natural healing ability that we all have allowing healing to occur on the physical level. As soon as your hands make contact, the healing energy will flow naturally and will stop automatically when the hands are removed.
Reiki I will enable you to give treatments to family and friends plus healing to yourself.

A 2 day intensive course over a weekend with a maximum of 6 students.
Cost: £100

Reiki II

The 2nd Degree Attunement enhances the 1st Degree and leads to a more refined and strengthened channel of Reiki Healing. Completing Reiki II will allow the student to become a Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki II concentrates more on the subtle and etheric body rather than the physical body. Students are initiated into three sacred symbols which will increase the energy flow and enable the projection of Reiki for distant and absent healing. The symbols also enable the practitioner to focus energy on mental and emotional energy blocks.

A 2 day intensive course over a weekend with a maximum of 6 students.
Cost: £150


Reiki III

The 3rd Degree Attunement enhances further the first 2 degrees of Reiki, strengthening and refining the Reiki Channel. Practitioners are initiated to one further sacred symbol which amplifies an already powerful channelling of Reiki Healing Energy.

The 3rd Degree is recommended for those who feel they may not yet be ready to become a Reiki Master and teacher of Reiki but would like to further their knowledge and abilities in Reiki Healing.

A 1 day course with a maximum of 6 Reiki Practitioners.
Cost: £200


Reiki Master

The Attunement for Reiki Master initiates the practitioner to 2 further symbols which will enable you as a Master to teach and pass on the gift of Reiki to others via Attunements.

As a Master you will also be taught empowerment exercises, breathing techniques and visualisations. Time will also be given for practicing the Attunement process.

A 1 day intensive course with a maximum of 6 Reiki Practitioners.
Cost: £300
