• Communication Modes - Based on the theory that although we all possess a number of senses, when each is under stress all incoming sensation is channeled thru a single sense that is natural to that individual. This is identified with kinesiology and the ramifications including strategy for dealing with each are considered and discussed. • Finger Modes- A kinesiologic method for determining whether the presenting complaint has its roots in the structural, nutritional, emotional or circuit realm. • The Warren Balance- A simple 14-muscle balance which uses finger modes to identify emotions and priority. When a muscle fails to lock, the emotion is identified and the situation causing the energy block is identified with the result being a locking muscle. • The Questioning Method - introduced by Dr. Jacobs, proceeding from the general to the specific, gives the client a series of choices from which to guess what is blocking at each level. With the indicator change at one of the guesses - this is the moment when the patient comes into contact with his/her truth. Emotions, Health & Kinesiology - Part 2
