Crikey I'm at risk of sounding like a bloody know-it-all here. I
qualified in kinesiology before Bowen. Had such good reaction to Bowen I
chucked the kinesiology out the window for a while. More recently, when I
decided to go back to Active Birth Training, I also decided that whatever
works for whichever case is what I'll do. Yes to Bowen, Yes to Kinesiology,
Yes to Primal Analytical Stretching, Yes to Vocal Dance, etc. There are lots
of wonderful Kinesiologists around.

Mary and Victoria,
While nothing can beat a listening ear and some
encouragement -and a muzzle around her MIL - any woman can be undermined
and traumatised by such patronising treatment (Cant we!!) - your GP
friend sounds lovely , I find kinesiology wonderful and very quick
to dispel physical pain due to emotional stress - It worked miracles for me
with a back injury that was related to a pain memory from a car accident - I
couldnt for the life of me relate this pain to any physical exertion - the
days i had the most severe upper body/ back pain I had "only" been driving
around. A session with a kinesiologist (in desperation) cured me immediately
-I had an immediate burst of energy and have had no trouble since in 18
months -I hadnt slept properly for 12 months -The kinesiologist explained that
due to my injuries every time i put on a car seatbelt it triggered this pain
memory - I had not told him about the car accident -I hadnt even connected
this -but also my fears about driving and riding as a passenger completely
vanished at this time too.
Kinesiology works directly on the nervous
system, is painless and helps the body healitself - To address dyslexia as
well (But dont expect a miracle cure), try a kinesiologist who has NET
qualifications-I have seen a demonstration on helping to adjust the "gait"
reflex -this reflex if still present can somehow affect literacy
functioning(like other reflexes, it is supposed to disappear in
infancy) .
- I have a little booklet here with alist
of Australian practitionersand their various quals. Although kinesiology isnt
a miracle cure for dyslexia - my youngest was helped for trauma by
kinesiology but his dyslexia has been due to Erlins Syndrome ( www.erlins.com ), a light sensitivity which
makes visual processing almost impossible -the print recedes and the
white background becomes dominant spilling over words like whiteout spilled
onto the page -words appear 3 dimensionally raising off the page/ blurry and
moving. He is now reading (at 11!!) with the aid of specially tinted lenses
which affect the light frequency.
The best thing about kinesiology is that because
it works directly on the brain one visit will indicate whether there is any
benefit - you dont need weekly appointments. But do be prepared for "stuff" to
come up as healing takes place This can take a few hours or a few days but may
not happen at all.
I hope you find the supportive midwife/ person to
talk with this woman - Rhea Dempsey in Melbourne is brilliant -she is a
childbirth educator/ birth atendant with a grad dip in counselling and
specialises in post birth trauma - (see wounded mothers on my website www.pinky-mychild.com ).
Would a phone call to Rhea be
helpful?

Hi, my thoughts flew instantly to The Bowen Method which is most often
used to heal physical ailments but has a place in the treatment of
dyslexia and ADHD and emotional problems etc. I am sure there is
a practitioner in your area. Contact them and enquire. best
wishes, Mary Murphy

Dear
List,
It's Tory Howell ( B-mid student in SA) and I have an urgent
request for some help. I have just had a phone call from a girlfriend who
is a GP. She had with her a young woman (24YRS from Broken Hill) who has
been deeply traumatised by her last birth 10 months ago. She now suffers
from chronic pain in her upper body and my friend believes it has a lot to
do with her unresolved issues from the birth. She also has dyslexia quite
badly and cannot read or write very well and as a result, the midwives and
doctors in the hospital in broken Hill have basically said she is too
"simple" to understand her condition and cannot manage it herself. She has
a very overbearing mother-in-law who is a nurse that dictates what she
thinks is good for this young girl, and as a result she is fast loosing
the plot. She has a second child (about two I think) and all she really
wants is to talk to someone about her birthing experience and get some
kind of resolution and counselling. Is there anyone who can help? Please
let me know and I will pass on any details to her. Emailing directly to
this young mother is not really an option due to her dyslexia and she does
really need to talk to someone face to face.
Thanking you in
anticipation!
Tory XXOO
