“Knacked Camel Syndrome”
I met somebody new for a coffee and a chat this week. We had been introduced via a mutual friend.
We got talking and she asked me about how I first discovered Kinesiology. I told her that I first went to see a Kinesiologist 17 years ago. At the first session I was advised that I had “knackered camel syndrome”. My new friend looked at me as if I was mad, in fact, the same way I looked when I first heard the phrase myself.
After a brief explanation it seemed relevant, made sense and still does.
My life then was chaotic, I had a pretty stressful job, travelled a lot with work and was eating at funny times and possibly not very well either. Every time I went on holiday I seemed to get sick. Yet with all the work stress I never took a day off. Food was a lottery – sometimes I would eat something and it would be fine then the next time with the same things I did not feel too good. It was confusing and difficult to deal with.
Basically, I was advised that each stressful thing in my life was like a straw on the camel’s back. My camel i.e. my body/life had become overloaded such that the legs had gone from under the camel.
I was, therefore, challenged to examine what each straw represented for me. If I configured them back on the camel as before then in time I would recreate the same bad result. I now had to look at what my straws might represent and figure out, with the help of the Kinesiologist, my reactions to the areas of my life that were stressful.
In some instances it was not possible to get rid of the stressor completely but what I learned was that I need to re-act differently. The problem was down to me and not the stressful stuff in my life.
Happily, I am pleased to report that things did get much better. Enough for me to believe that it was worth changing my life – I retrained in Kinesiology. And now I see clients who simply want to reconfigure their load to get a different result.
Kinesiology is a wonderful technique that helps to facilitate this. A Kinesiology session is called a “balance”. The main purpose of which is to bring the body back into balance physically, emotionally, mentally, chemically and spiritually.
Working from a place of balance inspires us to do great work and keeps us in line with our purpose.
