Glossary
of Terms
Acupoints Anatomical points along
Chinese acupuncture meridians. Acupuncture treatment points.
Acupuncture The ancient Chinese healing practice using
subtle energy pathways called meridians to restore balance in
the human energy system.
Alarm points Meridian diagnostic points that are located
on the torso midline (6) and bilaterally (12) for the 12 basic
meridians. Used in applied kinesiology and clinical kinesiology.
On central meridians, diagnostic points are called test points.
Apex problem A term coined by Callahan referring to the
occurrence of attributing the resolution of a problem using energy
psychology methods to another source.
Applied kinesiology A discipline used to diagnose and
guide treatment, using changes in the muscle response to different
acupoints being activated. Developed by George Goodheart, D.C.
Aspect (of problem) In the course of treatment disturbance
from one part of a problem will dissipate, allowing the emergence
of an awareness of another part or "aspect" that needs
to be addressed before the disturbance is totally resolved.
Attunement Tuning in or accessing
a thought field (issue, problem).
Bonham corpuscle In Chinese medicine, oval cells that
surround the capillaries in the skin, the blood vessels and the
organs throughout the body.
Bioenergetic Refers to any electrical, electromagnetic
or subtle energetic forces that are generated by living organisms
Chakra Disk, vortex, or wheel. Chakra theory originated
in India. In the human body, seven major chakras of swirling
energy are described, positioned from the base of the spine to
the top of the head.
Core Belief Long standing, fundamental and often unnamed
premises around which the established patterns are organized.
Entropy A concept in physics that measures the amount
of disorganization within a closed system. As entropy increases,
the system becomes more disordered.
Hemisphere Dominance Test (HDT) A therapy localization
procedure that assists the examiner in discerning relative cerebral
hemisphere dominance and localizing affected meridians.
Iei essence In Chinese medicine, the body essence generated
by the gross elements of food, which flows within the bloodstream.
Indicator Muscle A muscle that is isolated to gage change
in strength or in response to a stimulus.
In the clear Testing a muscle without introducing factors
that can otherwise influence the muscle to respond as either
weak or strong.
Lymphatic system Drainage system of the body. Lymph travels
in one direction and flows to the superior vena cava where it
empties into the heart.
Manual Muscle Testing Applying pressure
to a specific muscle, using the muscle response (strong or weak,
locked or unlocked) to determine certain states of the energy
field.
Meridian In Chinese medicine, a
channel along which chi energy flows in the body. Meridians are
named by the life function with which they seem to associate.
There are 12 primary meridians, 2 collector meridians, and 6
additional extraordinary channels.
Mudra (hand mode) Hand shapes that form an electromagnetic
field that triggers subconscious memory patterns. Used to understand
pathological associations or causal relationships.
Muscular Units of Distress (MUD) A measure of an indicator
muscle's response to an inquiry of the subject's level of distress
in a particular context.
Laserpuncture A method of treatment using low-level laser
light directed to stimulate acupoints
Negative entropy A mathematical concept considered characteristic
of the life force. Characterized by systems becoming more ordered
and less random.
Neurological disorganization (switching) A condition that
involves the central nervous system's misinterpreting and misconstruing
nerve impulses. When this condition is present, the effectiveness
of manual muscle testing is impaired.
Neurolymphatic reflexes (NLR's) Originally identified
by Chapman, NLR stimulation is said to promote lymphatic drainage.
In energy psychology, NLR's are said to act like circuit breakers
that get turned off when the system overloads. NLR's are located
mainly on the chest and back.
Neurovascular holding points In Touch for Health, are
points, mainly on the head, for strengthening muscles, by touching
and slightly stretching skin.
Pattern interruption/disruption Disturbing thought fields
are considered to have established energy patterns. By perturbing
these patterns, a more benign more easily flowing pattern may
result, freeing the person from associated negative emotions.
Psychological (psychoenergetic)
reversal A state or condition that prevents healing and blocks
otherwise effective treatment from working. It is usually accompanied
by negative attitudes.
Perturbation of energy field A target in the treatment
of negative emotions. Proposed by Callahan as the basic cause
of negative emotion.
Resonance lock To attune and entrain or lock-in a thought
field used in therapy to allow the subject to continue with the
treatment without having to actively think of the problem.
Scaling Applying a numerical value to a level of disturbance
or belief.
Stimulation Purposeful energy
perturbation of a treatment point to disorganize a thought field
for the purposes of resolving a disturbance. Done with tapping,
touching, laser, bilateral distraction, etc.
Subjective Units of Disturbance/Distress
(SUD) A term coined by Joseph Wolpe indicate a subject-report
measure of disturbance or distress level on a numerical scale
(usually 0-10).
Target The issue or problem to be
addressed/disturbance resolved.
Test point Meridian diagnostic points to test the collector
meridians (Conception (Central) Vessel and Governing Vessel).
Therapy localization A diagnostic procedure whereby the
subject is directed to place his/her fingers or hand at a specific
location on the body while an indicator muscle is tested to determine
changes in muscle responsiveness.
Thought field The concept that thoughts
affect the life energy fields (chi) of the body. Coined by Roger
Callahan, Ph.D..
Treatment The procedure used to
relieve distress, usually tapping, rubbing or holding selected
treatment points.
Treatment point An acupoint or other designated
point, the stimulation of which diminishes disturbance.
Qi (chi) energy In Chinese medicine, the primary or universal
energy of any living organism and source of all movement and
change in the universe. Some think qi is largely electrical,
while others think of qi as magnetic, thermal, light, acoustical.
etc.
Yang In Chinese medicine, the light, active, creative,
positive polarity element. Yang energy, from the sun, flows from
the finger to the face or from the face to the feet.
Yin In Chinese medicine, the dark, passive, receptive,
negative polarity element. Yin energy, from the earth, flows
from the feet to the torso and from the torso along the inside
of the arms to the fingertips.
