***
KINERGETICS. Demonstration & Seminar, coming to Tasmania soon!
Kinergetics is a
painless, fast, non-invasive method of healing that works on the energy
fields of the body, to effectively alleviate a wide range of health
problems. As with other Kinesiology
systems, Kinergetics uses muscle biofeedback to identify areas of stress
and imbalance or dysfunctional energy systems of the body.
Philip Rafferty
has been involved in Kinesiology since 1981, and was the founding President
of the Touch for Health Association of Victoria. He developed Kinergetics after realizing
he could correct imbalances with healing energy and clear blocks in the
energy fields, which then allowed healing to flow. Philip teaches
Kinergetics in many different countries, and is soon heading for Germany
& New Zealand.
Go to www.ics.com.au for more information,
testimonials, Workshop dates in Hobart.
