WHY IS OPTIMUM HEALTH BALANCE UNIQUE?

Optimum Health Balance has several features which distinguish it from other branches of kinesiology, though some are similar in certain aspects. Overall, the OHB philosophy of "KEEP IT SIMPLE" makes it a very attractive way of working to other kinesiologists.

1. The use of vibrational symbols

The practitioner has a series of cards containing symbols. The vibration of each symbol represents a particular imbalance on all levels. For example, the symbols for stress and pain shown below:

When these symbols are placed on the body and monitored by a simple muscle test using your arm, they form a symbolic language which allows an in-depth conversation with the body on all levels. A strong muscle will become weaker if the symbols are relevant.

For example, if the symbol for pain shows, this imbalance may be in the energy field as the client may not necessarily be experiencing physical pain at the time. It may relate to a past `image' of pain, or emotional rather than physical pain. The symbols replace the finger modes used in many other kinesiologies, making the balance simpler.

Although this can seem a bit far-fetched at first, if we reflect on how we feel when we look at certain pictures or shapes, such as the pattern of the seeds in a sunflower, or the black jagged shape an warning signs for electricity, we get a sense of the different vibrational qualities associated with a symbol.

2. Balancing methods

Energy is generally channelled through the hands of the therapist, through a healing icon placed on the body or in the energy field above it. Usually only one balancing technique is needed. Unlike the muscle massage or the physical adjustments used by physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors, the balancing techniques used in OHB are very light and may not even involve physical contact with your body.

3. Goal of the OHB balance
-physical mental/emotional, chemical/nutritional, spiritual and electromagnetic

The underlying goal of every balance is the optimum health of the client on all levels. In the basic balance there is no stated goal, although the client's issues are addressed after the priorities identified by the body have been recorded into body awareness.

4. Conscious and subconscious agendas

In many chronic illnesses, there are often underlying subconscious agendas which keep the client stuck in their pattern. For example, a migraine attack may have the subconscious advantage of enabling the client to rest. Being unwell is then easier than saying 'No' to certain demands and risking disapproval. Conscious and subconscious agendas are checked at every step in the balance using a Scan Card which among other things, has symbols for sabotage, hidden agenda and regression.

5. The use of reference points to monitor change

Five OHB readings are taken at the beginning and end of the balance to monitor change.

6. Balances for specific issues

The OHB system includes balances for specific issues such as Weight Control, Life Focus, Optimum Brain Function, Wholeness, Primary Vibration and many more. Many practitioners of other therapies add aspects of their own approaches into the system.

7. Foreign Energy clearance

The term Foreign Energy is used in OHB to describe the presence of any energetic pattern in the client's energy field which has a negative effect. It is usually present whenever a person is stuck at any level and experiences recurring or persistent problems. These could be mood swings, physical pains which resist lasting correction, fear for no apparent reason, recurring migraine or eczema, schizoid tendencies or irrational outbursts over which the person feels they have little control.

The OHB approach, checks for Foreign Energy at the beginning and throughout the balance and uses corrections to release it. In particular, the inclusion within the OHB balance of checks for psychological reversals, sabotage and Foreign Energy mean that persistent problems can disappear overnight and not return.
Obviously this is a great relief to many clients, particularly when the balance helps them understand any psychological implications behind their problem.
