The concept of the “Triangle of Health” presents humans as existing in multiple dimensions. These include, in addition to Spirit, the structural, chemical, and mental/emotional dimensions.
Optimal Health
When the triangle is equilateral, the sides are in balance. The person represented exists in a state of optimal lifeforce. This state also indicates optimal health. The truth is, no one ever quite achieves this perfection. The body, in its wonderfully adaptive way, compensates and compromises. It does this to survive in this world of challenge. Within the dictates of our genetic inheritance (nature) and the conditioning we have received (nurture), we emerge as unique creatures.
Unbalanced
A triangle, such as in the figure below, shows that a deficit at the mental/emotional level affects biochemistry negatively. It also adversely affects the structure. This scenario is only too common in our society.
The person depicted here is under excessive ongoing emotional stress. This negatively affects biochemistry. Mainly, it does this through the nervous and endocrine systems. In turn, this creates further imbalance in the psychological state and harms the structure. This leads mainly to tension of the skeletal muscles and smooth muscles of the vital organs. This, in turn, of course, pathologically influences the other two sides, and so on.
The person exists in a balance or homeostasis, as we all do. However, a distorted triangle gives rise to various signs and symptoms of dis-ease.
Balancing the Blueprint
Whether or not a person has a diagnosed condition is irrelevant. Kinesiology works toward balancing the non-physical energy, known as the blueprint. It does not treat the categorized symptoms of medically diagnosed dis-ease. This treatment is the realm of the physician. Touch for Health is simple and non-invasive. It enables practitioners to directly influence all three sides of the triangle in some way. This enables them to help people achieve a homeostasis reflected by a triangle significantly closer to the equilateral.
