Course Description

NK Practitioner - Neuroemotional Pathways (NEPS 1)

Neuroemotional Pathways Series

This series of course explores the neurological pathways associated with emotions along with their distinct functions and related physiological responses. Strong emotions can be described as whole systems with specific sets of triggers and programmed bodily reactions. These systems stimulate us to take action, move forward and adapt by ensuring survival through reproduction and suppression of danger, learning of skills and behaviours, and development of proper social interactions.

Predetermined emotional responses can be activated in a wide range of situations and fulfil a number purposes in evolution of mankind, however stress can trigger emotional systems in inappropriate circumstances and cause reactions that are unwanted or unfitting in their intensity. This series of courses is designed to provide students with a strong knowledge of the various neurological pathways involved in the activation of these emotional systems, their processing in the nervous system, the modulation of the response and its expression by the different body systems. Unique balancing techniques are taught to assist the body in releasing stress and responding appropriately, in a timely manner and with the right intensity to any situation.

These courses provide students with: 

• Detailed information on each emotional system including functions, neurological pathways from stimuli to body response, biochemical activity of neurotransmitters and anatomy and physiology of the response; 
• Integrative techniques that consider interrelations between systems in particular the effects of the primary emotional systems of survival onto all other systems;  
• Specialised balancing techniques for each system as well as an innovative correction and release technique for neuroemotional stress.

Neuroemotional Pathways 1

This course is one of the most comprehensive and powerful techniques for working with the impact of stress on survival responses. It delves into the study of the brain function involved in the expression of the 5 basic survival emotions. These emotional pathways run specific programs designed for the survival of the human species. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the neurological pathways of emotional stimulation and the associated physiological responses along with unique techniques to balance challenging emotional states that are inappropriate or no longer needed.

This course provides students with:

• Detailed information on areas of the brain involved with emotional processing and the modulation response initiated by the PAG along with investigation methods to detect stress in specific neurotransmitters, receptors, nutritional and spiritual aspects of each area;
• Explanations of the five survival emotional systems of fear, rage, panic, seeking and care/nurture, including their origins, purposes and the effects of stress and imbalances on our emotional wellbeing;
• Simple, step-by-step balancing techniques and corrections to release stress in a powerful way which integrate smoothly into other techniques or modalities.

Duration: 4 days

Prerequisite: Touch for Health or Brain Formatting

1.    What is Kinesiology? 

Kinesiology was developed by chiropractors in the 1960’s in the United States of America and has since evolved into a complex complementary therapy of its own. It is currently the fastest growing natural therapy in the world. Kinesiology uses muscle monitoring to identify, assess and correct imbalances in the body, thus promoting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

Kinesiology offers a model of care, which considers the deep connections between the physical aspects of the body (such as bones, muscles, hormones, neurology etc.), the psychological aspects (thoughts, emotions, attitudes etc.) and the energetic structures that form our being (aura, chakras, nadis, meridians etc.). Muscle monitoring allows the practitioner to assess the stress levels in the physical and energetic structures and to identify the most appropriate technique to restore balance to the body. This eliminates the need for guesswork, thereby allowing the body to heal efficiently to achieve optimal health and vitality.

The techniques used to release stress include acupressure, reflexology, emotional stress release, sound healing (tuning forks), colour healing, flower essences, crystals, chakra balancing etc. Kinesiology is a true complementary therapy which can be successfully integrated into the practices of Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Herbalists, Traditional Chinese Practitioners and Massage Therapists among others. It has even been integrated into Dental practices.

2.    Why study Kinesiology?

Various study pathways provide access to accredited qualifications recognised in United Kingdom and Australia which are required for anyone wishing to pursue a professional career as a practitioner of kinesiology.

Kinesiology is also a modality that integrates smoothly into the practice of practitioners of other natural therapies. It includes an array of techniques that can be used on their own or as additional tools alongside and within many complementary medicines.

Learning kinesiology concepts and techniques offers an excellent opportunity for self-discovery and assists on the journey to self-healing. It also provides effective practical tools to support yourself, your family and friends with health and wellbeing needs.

Whether you are looking for a new career in a fast-developing field, means to provide your relatives, friends or clients with the support they need to regain or maintain their health or wish to pass on incredible knowledge to students through teaching, studying kinesiology brings forth the opportunity to reach your personal and professional goals.   

3.    What is Neuroenergetic Kinesiology?

Amongst the many modalities of kinesiology, Neuroenergetic Kinesiology (NK) is considered by many as the flagship of modern kinesiology and is taught all over the world. Developed by Hugo Tobar from the NK Institute, in Australia, it integrates the ancient wisdom from China and India with complex modern scientific knowledge in anatomy and physiology. By removing the blockages or stress from the body, it stimulates the self-healing mechanisms of the body through the meridians and their acupressure points as well as the nadi and chakra systems.

One of the primary characteristics that make NK a unique modality, is Tobar’s extensive development of finger mode and acupressure formatting systems in all areas of the human anatomy, physiology and energetic structures, along with the holographic model of reality. This allows the practitioner to identify and access the exact location and nature of the stress (even if subconscious) affecting the individual and provides the practitioner with a tailored approach unique to the client and to the specific needs of the body.
