In clinic today Primitive Reflexes came up.

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements babies are born with that help them survive and start learning about their world. They support important early skills like feeding, bonding, and developing basic movement patterns. As a baby’s brain grows and develops, these reflexes naturally fade so more controlled, purposeful movements can take over—but if some are retained, they can affect coordination, posture, and movement efficiency, and may also influence behaviour by contributing to challenges with focus, emotional regulation, confidence, and how a child responds to stress.

In kinesiology we can identify if any arw retained then implement exercises to help integrate. As well, balance the child for them, helping to release trauma associated.

Love that I get to do this!🙏 Alison xx

This week in clinic there has been a theme. An age as a child comes up, attached to an emotion & there is no recollection of any trauma! HOWEVER, the tears start to flow, the body starts to react. Shaking, hard to breathe, and an overwhelming sense of pain. You see, the body remembers.

As a little one, all you know is what you FEEL INSIDE. Often unable to explain it nor put words to it.

Of all the years in clinic. I have learnt to honour this, exactly that, THOSE FEELINGS! If we're lucky we can ask our parents or a loved one around us at that time to see if anything went on. BUT if we don't have that. Then, allowing all the PAIN to rise, as much as it's uncomfortable, is allowing your body to finish the nervous system response & move into HEALING. It is then, that often the understanding & learning comes 🙏 Alison x

One of my beautiful clients messaged me this today. It's so wonderful I just had to share. Thank you for sharing it with me beautiful🙏🩷

Instructions before visiting Earth by James McCrae. A wonderful way to look at ourselves as a soul being gifted a life on Earth. How our time here can come with challenges but to look it from a perspective as just a fleeting moment in time.. and to enjoy & make the most of being given the gift of life, Alison 🙏🩵🩷

After a kinesiology session, the real work often begins.

Kinesiology gently taps into the body’s stress patterns, stored emotions, and subconscious beliefs. While the session itself can feel calm — even relieving — the integration period afterward can be unexpectedly tough.

Here’s why:
Your nervous system is recalibrating.
When the body releases long-held stress, it has to find a new baseline. That adjustment can show up as fatigue, emotional, down & heightened sensitivity. It’s not regression — it’s regulation in progress.

Old patterns are losing their grip.
Many of our behaviors and reactions are rooted in protective patterns formed years ago. When kinesiology helps shift them, it can feel destabilizing & uncomfortable.

Emotions may surface.
The body stores unresolved emotional experiences. When those layers start to clear, feelings can rise up to be processed consciously. It can feel painful & hard. This isn’t something going wrong — it’s something finally moving.

Your identity may be expanding.
As stress responses soften, you may respond differently to situations or people. That shift can feel disorienting. Growth often does.

Integration isn’t about forcing change. It’s about allowing space — resting more, drinking water, journaling, spending time in nature, and being gentle with yourself.

Healing isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But discomfort during integration doesn’t mean the session didn’t work — it often means it did. Your body is wanting to bring up the discomfort to release.

Be patient with your system. It’s learning a new way to be. The discomfort will pass & you will start to feeling the healing & love. Alison xx

As a little person, we FEEL but don't understand or can express WORDS to our FEELINGs. We are trying to navigate the world....and our body FEELS FIRST before it attaches words, understanding & MEANING to it.

So, when in a session an emotion comes up you are holding & you've got not clue. Or there is something that feels FAMILIAR about it but you don't know why, it's because your body is remembering that FEELING/EMOTION.

So just honour those FEELINGS IN YOUR BODY, you dont need to understand the STORY, but rather give yourself permission to acknowledge & move them through, so the nervous system can finish its job! Much love to you all, Alison xx

Letting go is the hardest thing! Especially when it's in your body! Tension, tight muscles, clenched jaw, elevated shoulders, rock hard upper traps! Can't sit still! How hard is it to let go! Physically, so hard! And how many times do others say just relax!! Easier said than done, right?! The art of learning to let go in your body is learning to SURRENDER. But in order to do so we must allow ourselves to be VULNERABLE. Because it can look different for each of us. It could be moving the body, crying, screaming, curling up in the fetal position....whatever is needed!

So give yourself permission to be vulnerable & allow the surrendering to happen in whatever way it needs to unfold, Alison 🙏🩷

Something I have learnt in life, through my own experiences and hardships is, all that matters is LOVE and COMPASSION. When all is said and done and we cross back to SPIRIT this is all that matters.

No matter what you're up against, come from LOVE, even if it's rejected, because LOVE prevails. And you can hold your head up knowing you have done all you can. How others receive this is on them, not you.

There is so much courage in this, but when you understand it, your whole world changes, this is what life is all about, Alison 🙏🩷

In your 40s & 50s & noticed heart palpitations, dizziness & that feeling of PANIC?

It's not in your head! During peri & menopause, fluctuating and declining oestrogen alters regulation of the autonomic nervous system and stress response. Oestrogen normally helps buffer sympathetic (“fight-or-flight”) activity and modulate neurotransmitters involved in emotional regulation.

When oestrogen drops, the body becomes more reactive to adrenaline, increasing heart rate, awareness, palpitations, and anxiety sensitivity. Oestrogen also affects vascular tone, blood pressure control, and respiratory drive, which can contribute to dizziness and lightheadedness.

These physical sensations activate the brain’s threat response, triggering panic, which further increases adrenaline and intensifies symptoms. The body thinks there is danger & wants to crawl into a hole!

Those of you who experience, know this well. It's not talked about enough! You are not alone, and you are not going crazy! These are valid physiological symptoms that are REAL!

Just remember, you are safe and the symptoms will pass. Ensure you reach out for help, don't do it on your own 🙏 Alison xx

A lession I have learnt is that we can never control another. No matter what they say or do that might be hurtful, frustrating or rattle you, we must learn that we don't control another. What we can control is how we choose to react. We can either spiral down into their story or we can choose not to take it onboard.

Second thing, what a person projects, ie what they say to you, is what they feel about themselves. Projection is a reflection of what's going on internally, they just may not realise it. So it they say hurtful things just remember not to take it personally, but rather they are talking about them.

If you take these onboard it helps you navigate the difficulties in life. Alison xx
