Touch for Health? |
|
Touch for Health™ (TFH) is a holistic self-care system which is available to all people regardless of their educational background, training, and age. Touch for Health was specifically developed for the lay public and first taught in 1973 by Dr. John Thie, DC. It’s so simple that children as young as six years old are able to do it. It incorporates the research of Dr. George Goodheart, DC, the founder of Applied Kinesiology, and Dr. John Dewe, MD, founder of the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice. This synthesis of techniques derives its skills from modern Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Naturopathy and ancient acupuncture.
TFH empowers us with tools: muscle testing and interpretive knowledge & skills. As per Dr. John Dewe, MD, it is the "science of energy balancing" and supports the Triangle of Health, which consists of the anatomical, physiological and psychological aspects of our being. More specifically, TFH assists us in balancing 42 structural muscles, 14 acupuncture meridians, our diet, supplements, and the mental & emotional components of the mind — the whole person.
"Philosophically, Touch for Health™ Kinesiology is a fundamentally different kind of therapy with a primary emphasis on teaching people via the biofeedback tool of muscle testing to be aware of their choices and how to care for themselves. The Touch for Health™ Kinesiology model is an Educational, Assistive model, not a diagnostic, prescriptive model. We don't identify or even seek out "what is wrong", or presume to solve the mysteries and figure out the "cause" of our ills. We help people identify their own positive goals within their own philosophy and worldview. Only they know their talents, aspirations, desires, and mission. We can serve to help them identify the conflicts and harmonize their energy. Sometimes we may be an unknowing messenger, providing a thought, idea, or metaphor which rings true and catalyzes vision, but it is for the individual to decide. We offer suggestions for them to accept or reject." Dr. John Thie, DC, Touch for Health, The Complete Addition, p. xix
WHAT MAKES ROBIN FORNWALT UNIQUE AS A PRACTITIONER ? This is what Robin loves about Touch for Health — total respect and honor for the individual being. For her, healing is the ongoing process of becoming more whole & complete within one’s Self. Robin defines the Self as the full integration of energetic Spirit with the physical Body via the Mind, which consists of our emotions & thoughts. In addition, we each seek balance within the feminine & masculine aspects of our Self while creating balance within our inner & outer worlds. As a practitioner, Robin’s focus is on the eventual integration of all the different aspects of our Self in order to create wholeness. When that process reaches a certain threshold, we naturally feel more at One with our Self, our human community, our Earthly environment and the Universe.
Robin has found that belief and intention are everything. What we believe in our hearts and create in our minds is manifested in our relationship with our body, family, friends, and our environment. Jesus was so right when he said, “your faith has healed you” as the new field of Energy Psychology and motivational movies like The Secret underscore. Allow yourself to believe in the infinite unseen possibilities of quantum physics as described in What the Bleep Do We Know? Down the Rabbit Hole. As the Apostle Paul said, “Pray unceasingly for the good you desire.” Keep hope alive! Embrace life for the joy we can be to ourselves and others! |
