In this presentation,
I will examine why
research is necessary
and beneficial for
the Touch for Health
healthcare model. I will
give a basic overview of
the scientific method,
examine different
research methods
available and offer
recommendations for the types of research that
we should conduct. We have been developing
a set of research tools over the past five years
and we examine why they are applicable
to our research efforts. I will also present
initial results from our research and plan to
conduct a test of the entire system from the
riverboat that conference attendees will be on
while touring the riverfront of Cincinnati.

Abstract
Many of us claim we
want to integrate
positive changes into
our lives, yet most of
us struggle in this
area. We shall examine
some outstanding
research concerning
troubled marriages
that identifies a major
problem that prevents such changes from
taking hold. Then we'll consider solutions that
arise from taking a kaizen approach to life.
Introduction
How would you feel if a former classmate at a
twenty-fifth class reunion said to you, "Wow!
You haven't changed a bit." Now, if it is in
regard to personal appearance - trim waistline,
full head of hair, unwrinkled face - you would
probably be delighted. However, what about if
the comments related to your character and
behavior? That wouldn't be so cool! Because,
the reality is -- as much as we would like to
make certain improvements -- it is actually
quite difficult for the average person to change.
Let's look at some marriage research that
shows why it is difficult to institute selfimprovement. Then we'll look at a concept that
should make it easier for a person to change.

Kaizen
Fast-forward a few years. Now it is after the
war and General Douglas MacArthur and
his forces are occupying Japan. MacArthur
is concerned about an invasion from North
Korea and sees that it is in America's best
interests to have a stronger Japan. Achieving
a thriving Japanese economy would require
improved worker efficiency and raised
business standards. Ironically, at a time when
America no longer sees a need for "continuous
improvement" the United States government
TWI specialists go to Japan to introduce
such concepts to the Japanese. They are very
receptive. Dr. Deming is involved in their
trainings and, behold, the Japanese economic
miracle. In fact, the Japanese are so impressed
by the idea of small, comfortable steps toward
improvement that they coined the term kaizen
to describe it. Interestingly, one of my friends
who works for Boeing told me that he keeps
hearing management talking about "kaizen this
and kaizen that"! What was once an American
idea has now come back into American industry.
How does it work? In Dr. Robert Maurer's
book One Small Step Can Change Your Life:
The Kaizen Way, the underlying physiological
responses are summarized in this way:

Abstract
The path to wellness
begins and ends
with self-mastery.
Self-Mastery is
understanding your
divine-self and choosing
to conduct your life in
a way that supports
everyone and everything
in the universe. In this
presentation, Diane will share her personal
story and use Holistic Kinesiology to
explore the consequences of limiting beliefs.
Introduction
"Wedo not see things as they are, we
see things as we are" - Anais Nin
The first decision you must make on the
pathway to wellness is to discover what you
believe about the universe. Do you believe
you live in a friendly universe or do you live
in a hostile universe? Who are you? Where
did you come from? Why are you here? What
is your purpose? Do you live your life by the
wisdom you have acquired or the beliefs you
have been given? Behind the roles you play, the
strategies for getting by, the defenses against
being hurt, who are you? Is it difficult to see
yourself as you really are; has conditioning
trained you to be materialistic, or to constantly
defend or prove your worth or point of
view? How do you really see your world?

NECK RELEASE
This technique sends a signal to the
brain to release the tension in the neck
muscles and also corrects reactive
interactions with other muscles.
There are muscle fibers in the neck
that run up and down on the neck.
Do some neck rolls; look up with the
head, then look left, right & down

Neurotransmitters and AK
{Based on the book, "Edge Effect",
by Eric Braverman, M.D.}
by Sheldon C. Deal, D.C., N.M.D., D.I.B.A.K.
First of all, we as
Kinesiologists are
working every day with
the nervous system. We
work tirelessly to release
our patient's innate
potential for optimal
function. We do this, as
you all know, through
a variety of techniques.
However, we are all
working against patterns and compensations
which may very well be as old as our patient.
The nature of these patterns are structural,
emotional, chemical, and above all, neurological,
and that is why we are Kinesiologists. So in
the hierarchy of our nervous system the brain
rules supreme. If we can successfully recruit
the brain in helping us reduce interference,
then our results could be dramatically better.
We live in the information age. All of us
work hard just to keep up with the latest
information in our field and things that affect
our daily lives. And the information just
keeps coming faster. I see the results of this
pace in my practice every day. We stay in
sympathetic overdrive and people are either
anxious or depressed and we are one of the
many places they go looking for answers.
Some people, as always, just need a little
AK and some sound advice and they are on
their way. On the other hand, far too often,
people need a whole lot more. This is one of
those pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that can be
of enormous benefit to you and your patients.
The major premise of this paper is that if we
restore proper balance of the four primary
chemical messengers or neurotransmitters
we
can restore or create whole body well-being. Or
as we Kinesiologists like to say, take the body

Basic Theories
Right/Left Brain Integration
For any learning to take place, the right and
left hemispheres need to be working together
in an integrated way. According to the
Neuropsychology model of the brain's processing
in Philip Crockford's "Kinesiology for Learning"
workbook, the left brain is focal, analytical,
and serial. It is the "try brain", where language
takes place. It is under conscious control. The
right brain is diffuse, holistic and simultaneous
in its processing. It is the "reflex" brain, where
automatic reactions take place. It is unconscious
and receptive, and into the rhythm and flow.
When you experience difficulty with learning,
the two halves of the brain aren't working
together in an integrated way. There is either
too much try brain, with not enough ability
to process the whole picture and relax into
learning, or too much reflex brain, with not
enough ability to concentrate and process
logically. Parallel processing is a stressful
compensation in which the person switches
back and forth from left to right. This is
an exhausting process, and may account
for people falling asleep while reading.

Introduction

History
The idea for the Legge Method for energetic
rebalancing and allergy elimination began
when composer Mike Legge was introduced to
Chinese Medicine by acupuncturist Nicolette
Schwartzman. Seeing all energetic imbalances
as falling into one of five categories, the
Chinese over four thousand years ago created
healing music among the modalities to address
these imbalances. Their compositions work to
affect the body and mind to rebalance these five
categories: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water.
For Legge who had long been interested in
music's potential as a harmonizing influence,
this introduction to Chinese music provided
the stimulus to build on this ancient and
validated system. Why limit a healing music
to only five pieces, each based on a separate
tone, when greater differentiation was possible?
If each key could have one of 5 different
Chinese notes added to it, 60 different healing
pieces could be used. This system was further
developed into 120 discrete pieces of music
Musical Concepts:
Traditional Chinese Music
Traditional Chinese Music was composed in
the pentatonic scales, where each mode would
span two or more octaves. The tones and modes
were related to the Elements. Today, except
for the traditional orchestras, the Chinese

Musical Concepts:
Music for the Legge Method
Anyone scale has seven tones so there are five
non-harmonic tones from which to choose. The
healing music composed by Mike Legge is in
two layers - tonal with one non-harmonic toneand tonal with two non-harmonic tones. These
layers are available in all twelve keys both 3/4
and 4/4 time (360 healing music compositions).
At a more discreet level the modal sequence of
each and every composition is in optimum order.
