Toddler Confidence and Health Kinesiology

It's very rewarding working with babies and children. Here's an example from my partner, therapist John Payne

The HK system includes a structure of stress elimination called body/brain energy integration corrections. These address fears thought to be set up as a result of something experienced at a very early age, including before or during birth. Eliminating these fears can have a marked effect on behaviour and attitudes, even much later in life; so the sooner they are done the better.

One morning recently I saw a mother who brought her 15-month-old daughter with her. During the mother’s session I noticed that the little girl was walking around quite competently, but always carefully keeping at least one hand on something to support herself. If she needed to cross a space where there was no support, she would drop to the floor, shuffle across, and then stand up again. When I remarked on this to the mother, she said that this had been happening for about six weeks, and they had been surprised at the lack of further progress in her walking. Trying to get her to walk between the parents had at best produced a couple of reluctant and uncertain steps.

At the end of the mother’s session, I used her as a surrogate to test if anything could be done to help the girl’s confidence in walking. As a result of this I did one body/brain energy integration correction procedure to address “fear of falling.” The mother simply repeated to herself “Fear of falling” while holding the daughter and I touched the specific set of acupoints for this type of correction. Later the same day the mother phoned to say that at lunchtime her daughter had taken four steps on her own, unprompted and unsupported. She is now said to be “going great guns!”
