    6 Weird things that I do to help my immune system

    October 19, 2021 /

    As a holistic health practitioner, I have been working with lots of people with Covid 19 in the past 2 years, helping them mitigate symptoms and recover faster, dealing with long term symptoms, and dealing with vaccine effects. As I have managed to stay pretty healthy throughout all of this, people often ask me what I am doing to protect myself, so I have begun to make a list. I want to make it clear; I’m not suggesting that any of these things are ‘cures’ for a virus, or anything of the sort. And I am not mentioning any of the things that everyone already has heard about. I am…

    We work in the dark – we do what we can

    June 18, 2020 /

    There is a quote that I have been writing in journals and on walls and living with since I was in high school. “We work in the dark – we do what we can – we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.” ~ Henry James, The Middle Years. To me, this has always meant that we work quietly, in the dark, to make things better and the quiet and the darkness do not diminish the passion that is behind the action, but rather, emphasize it. I was brought up in a religion and culture…

    Corona Virus – Some Ideas

    March 5, 2020 /

    No, I don’t have a protocol for Cororna Virus. But I do have some ideas… Let’s start with some background information. Every year cold and flu viruses take a toll on health. The CDC estimates that as many as 56,000 people die each year from flu and flu-like illness (source: Webmd.com). While we are able to see what a virus looks like and the general affects that it has on people, the truth of the matter is that everyone is different. Many cases of Covid-19 are asymptomatic, meaning that they result in no symptoms at all or such light symptoms that people may not realize that they are infected. About…

    Practitioner Retreat in Costa Rica

    January 14, 2020 /

    A couple of years ago, at a conference in Malibu, I sat outside late with a group of friends drinking wine and talking. Every once and awhile one of us would declare ‘no more kinesiology-talk’, but it never lasted long; the conversation returning again and again to the work/research/politics of this fascinating modality. Some of these were people I had never met in person before, but we all felt deeply bonded by our shared experience with this work. Later, talking with one of these friends, he expressed some sadness that there had been so few opportunities to actually work on each other at the conference. Sure, there was a ‘Balance…

    Memories of Water and Frozen 2

    December 22, 2019 /

    In the new Disney movie Frozen 2, Elsa reveals another interesting power that we don’t see in the first movie. In addition to making ice, making dresses, bestowing life upon snow-folk and singing songs that will linger in your consciousness for all eternity, in this movie she makes water behave in an interesting way. She seems to be able to summon the memories of a place through the water found there, then turn it to ice so that she can look at it properly. This as a concept is kind of fascinating because it mingles with some of the science that we are playing with in the holistic health field…

    ‘Intention’ is not a catchall that allows for laziness, rather it is the compass that points you in the right direction and keeps you on course.

    If Everyone is Super, No One Is

    June 3, 2019 /

    It’s not that I couldn’t understand his point. The scene: an outdoor dinner table, surrounded by people sharing food and coming down off a community salsa dance lesson. As we ate, one of our guests and I got into a rather impassioned conversation when he took me off-guard by saying, “There’s no such thing as talent.” His contention was that everyone, if they work hard, can do anything well. I answered that this is the kind of “everyone gets a medal!” thinking that is making us weak. So who was right? Is talent a myth? I was born in 1981, which means that I was part of that strange transition…

    Rethinking Stacking

    April 16, 2019 /

    In a field where I value truth and intention over almost everything else, there is one place where I haven’t been completely honest. This is something that has been nagging at me for a long time, but I have been afraid to put it out there. Afraid of seeming disrespectful to the amazing thinkers and innovators that came before me in this field and laid the groundwork for everything we do every day and the peers that I respect around the world now. I feel like we need to have a conversation about Stacking (Pause Lock, Circuit Retaining Mode, whatever you want to call it). Some background: Many have heard…

    What’s in a name? Losing my ‘K’

    February 3, 2019 /

    What’s in a name? We have long known that ‘Kinesiology’ is not the perfect word to describe what we do. Yes, there is muscle testing and yes, we study muscle movement, but we know that what we do falls into a broad spectrum. Some of our modalities are overtly concerned with structure; muscles, spindle cells, proprioception and the way these move together. Others don’t pay attention to muscle or structure at all, perhaps only teaching the use of a single indicator muscle in order to read stress found mostly in the emotional and energetic systems. Other systems run the gambit and dip into both ends. No wonder it is difficult…

    Emotional Processing in the Triune Brain; Taming the Lizard when Life gets Crazy

    By Alexis Costello Image: From The Amazing Spiderman This is my conference journal paper for the upcoming Kinesiology Federation conference in Oxford, UK – I wanted to share the protocol with everyone and hear how it is working for you! Get in touch and let me know. You’ve heard of the Reptilian, Limbic and Neo-cortical sections of the brain. Each of these process emotions, but they do it differently with wildly different results. In order to thrive in our modern jungle, we need to utilize the survival strategies of the lizard brain without allowing it to dominate our physiology. Specialized Kinesiology can give us the skills to bring balance to…
