Feature Story
                   Basic Kinesiology Program (BKP)
 
                Energetic Kinesiology is derived from the chiropractic techniques of Applied Kinesiology. Kinesiology is defined, primarily as the use of
muscle checking to identify imbalances in the body’s structural, chemical, emotional or other energy systems, to establish the body’s priority healing
needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about by a broad spectrum of therapeutic techniques. A fundamental premise of Energy Kinesiology is
that the body has the innate healing energy and is at all times doing its best to care for itself, but that sometimes it needs to be helped into a better
position to achieve this care.
 
                Energy Kinesiology practitioners also recognize that there are flows of energy within the body that relate not only to the muscles but to
every tissue and organ that go to make the body a living, feeling being.  These energy flows can be evaluated by testing the function of the muscles,
 which in turn reflect the body’s overall state of structural, chemical, or emotional balance.  In this way Energy Kinesiology taps into energies that the
more conventional modalities do not assess. Energy Kinesiology looks beyond symptoms and does not treat named diseases, nor does it diagnose
them.  Kinesiology is concerned with correcting imbalances in the body’s energy. 
 
                What is Energy Balancing - The art and science of energy balancing which brings a person closer to achieving any goal of their choice-in
sport, relationships, learning or coping with life generally. It taps into energies that the more conventional modalities overlook. Energy Balancing
looks beyond symptoms; it is concerned with imbalance in the body’s energy on the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels. It addresses
scores of different imbalances, everything from a stiff neck, frozen shoulder, poor bladder function, learning disabilities, self-defeating beliefs/habits
and poor co-ordination. It is the most modern of the natural therapies.
                How does my energy become unbalanced?
• Poor alignment or physical posture                              • Stress (mental or emotional)
• Shock, trauma, pain or accidents                                  • Challenges with learning or co-ordination
• Nutritional lack or sabotaging behaviors                     • Harmful emotional experiences
                How does my energy get balanced?  Balancing techniques would include:
• Muscle integration                                                            • Hyper tonic muscle release
• Nutritional analysis                                                           • Awareness of personality traits and release                              
• Balancing for past, present and stressful events       • Lymphatic rubbing
• Neurovascular holding points                                        • Sound, color gemstone, and flower essences
• Scar reintegration                                                             • Meridian flushing, tapping holding, tracing
• Chakra balancing
                The BKP is a stand-alone course giving you powerful basic Kinesiology techniques for use on yourself and with family and friends and
provide you with a solid foundation in Kinesiology, which you can build on as you become confident. The BKP form is the Foundation Training of
the PKP Certification Program and the ICPKP Diploma of Kinesiology. The BKP is aimed at anyone focused on achieving optimum health and
peak performance. It offers an exciting and honorable career path for people wishing to enter the health industry as well as an opportunity for
existing health practitioners to enhance their skills and build their practice. Anyone can learn BKP. BKP Course Content - The certificate in BKP is
taught over 10 Diploma Registration Units (DRU’s) accumulating 300 hours of Kinesiology studies.   Classes coming to Alberta in the spring.

Seedy Saturday:
When: Saturday, March 15, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Where: Montgomery Community Centre
5003 - 16 Avenue NW         Calgary                  Admission $2.00 - We accept Calgary Dollars
Come together with prairie gardeners and seed savers to buy, sell, or trade seeds and gardening know-how. This family event will have displays
by local seed savers, prairie seed companies, native plant collectors, conservation groups, community gardeners, organic growers; as well as, a
seed exchange table, refreshments, presenters, entertainment, and a kids corner. Come get open-pollinated seeds and talk with local farmers and
gardeners. Set yourself up for a terrific gardening season!
                Let's keep the skill of growing from seed to seed alive in Calgary. As large commercial seed companies consolidate and only offer more
hybrids and patented varieties, we increasingly lose the regionally adapted collections that have developed for our unique prairie climate. Help
maintain this irreplaceable genetic diversity by growing non-hybridized, open-pollinated varieties. Discover the superior taste of heirloom varieties of
vegetables. Learn to save seeds and share them with your neighbor. As you grow them season after season they will adapt and grow that much healthier!

Does someone want to share a table at the Body & Soul Expo in Calgary?  Gal who is a Reiki Practitioner /
Angel Card Reader, etc & representative for Cochrane & Area Wholistic Community would LOVE to share a table and expenses
for the table.  Gentle Soul, very respectful of others space and really want to be there this year.   Please let me
know:  Kim at bucklers@shaw.ca .  
 
Health Corner
(how to keep your family allergy & toxin free)
Perfumes & Colognes: are one of the strongest triggers for headaches and allergies.  The perfumes, colognes and even some of the musks that
are on the market today can make people really uncomfortable and physically sick.  I was in a medical office where a fellow was wearing a cologne
and I had to move to the other side of the room.  Met one gal: both her and her son is sensitive to glue (she did not want to lick her stamps for the
envelope) and she wore a perfume that gave me a headache.  I know of one little guy that has been sickly since he was a baby:  living in a home
with hair spray, perfumes, colognes and harsh cleaning chemicals.   We really need to take the time to think of how others will react before we put
on something that we feel smells pretty or manly.  Who are we going to offend and who is going to have to pull out an inhaler or have to take an Advil
after being left with a headache after meeting us?    
 (food alternatives & heath)
Soy Milk:  Studies are showing that the best and more safer soy milk to consume is the fermented soy milk.  One high performance athlete has to totally
discontinue soy milk from his diet and had created a protein drink that would properly sustain his body.   Soy milk has been a blessing for the babies that
can not drink the formulas and cows milk.  There also is rice milk and goats milk on the market now. 
PS: I would love to hear what any one has to say on safe milk alternatives, or any other suggestions. 
(herbs)
Olive Leaf Extract: is a powerful agent been used as an anti-parasitic and for worm infections, bacterial and fungal infections, along with being a
curative for every form of herpes and yeast infections.  This natural antibiotic has also been used for: fever, malaria, Chlamydia, Cholera, E. Coli,
Giardia, Hepatitis - A, B, and C, Influenza, Lyme Disease, Meningitis - both viral and bacterial, pneumonia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, shingles,
Shigella (a form of dysentery), vaginitis,  Ebola virus and is being used with the AIDS virus.  Also being used by doctors for Chronic Fatigue and
Fibromyalgia.  Olive Leaf Extract appears to be stronger than the “super bugs” that the antibiotics are unable to get rid of.  Dr. Morton Walker wrote a
book “Olive Leaf Extract-Nature's Antibiotic” published by Kensignton Publishing Corporation.  Olive Leaf Extract can be found in your health food stores.
(books)
“Emotional Links to Illnesses: Dr. Cass Ingrams Life Saving Cures” Author: Dr. Cass Ingram    Published by Knowledge House. 
A good example how we can get sick through emotional thinking and actions.

Message Board  …..   
-  March 30 2008 will be the end of our second year as a wholistic community and the beginning of the 3rd year.
We have come a long way, and a long way to go yet.   Thank you for everyone’s help and support.
- Six Degrees of Giving:  a network on creating miracles by making a wish for someone else. 
See the following link for further info:  http://www.sixdegreesofgiving.com/?ref_id=611
 
Warning:    We received a letter from “Diane”, about how the use of minerals, vitamins etc. had caused several problems while she was on heart
medication, along with other problems that she was experiencing.  It wasn’t necessarily the minerals them selves, but how they were being used. 
When we are working with our doctors and pharmacists, they NEED to know about everything you are taking and for what.  The proper combination
can save our lives.  The wrong combinations can cause several problems including damage to our organs.  
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke .
                Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)   (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.  New Sign of a Stroke
-------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one will be saved. 
My Favorite Wholistic / Alternative ……
Act Green for kids and families:  a wonderful way to get kids and parents more interested in the environment. 
www.scholastic.com/actgreen  is a site that can help us to work together to save energy, etc.  We say we are all doing what we can, and how many
can actually pass the little quiz in this one?  Our household still has some skills to sharpen up on.
