The one constant in life is change. We change physically, chemically, and emotionally as the "jungle" of life progresses, constantly trying to interpret, adapt, and respond to the world as best we can. The nervous sytem is the human computer that regulates the function of the body. When it becomes dysfunctional or overloaded via physical, chemical, or emotional stresses, the overall health of the individual is significantly diminished. My approach is to identify the cause of the overload, reset the switches, and let it flow. The body is then able to resume it's function of staying in balance with it's environment. The hands-on techniques described in this book are cutting edge and relatively unknown as very little has been written on the subject of Applied and Specialized Kinesiology... Less

The body-mind connection is a well-documented fact in today's medical paradigm. Yet, long before recent scientific research uncovered this natural linkage, it was described in Kabbalistic healing manuals, with one important difference-- there it was understood to be a link between the body, mind, and soul of kabbalah and healing. This healing manual explains Kabbalah's centuries-old perception of human physiology, its view on how to maintain overall health, and how this is dependent on our spiritual well-being. "The phenomenon of disease is one of [spiritual] separation or estrangement," the rabbi writes pertaining to kabbalah and healing. When disconnected from our innermost self, and our spiritual Source, illness manifests. Were we to understand the true source of our ailments,... Less
