AUTHOR SUZANNE TABOR - QUANTUM FIELD THEORY &EPIGENECTIC PROGRAMMING - BALANCING THE LIFE FORCE

I wrote and published - Quantum Field Theory and Epigenetic Programming – Balancing the Life Force (ISSN 1837-9753) and the Course/Workshop in relation to it to hopefully show that the everyday individual on a journey of Conscious living, be that Conscious Creation or Intention healing, can easily understand and apply the principles. The concepts are demonstrated in every aspect of our existence, within our selves, in our interactions with others, and in our very existence in this World, Universe Cosmos.

I would be happy to provide you with more detail through the website or by email about how you too can Consciously create your own life journey to LIVE LIFE AND HEAL NATURALLY
ABOUT THE BOOK

“Quantum Field Theory and Epigenetic Programming” and the resultant Balancing the Life Force is not a “home”, it is a journey of knowledge. In understanding the process and consequences of cellular imprinting, hopefully, regardless of whether as an individual,you are on a journey of Conscious Creation for self healing; or as a Practitioner, which field of natural healing you choose to contribute, you will identify for yourself the means to apply the principles for yourself.

The more knowledge YOU build into your own constructs, the more information is applied by intention and understanding to the contexts of a specific Conscious Creation or balancing process, much in the way that “Stacking” is incorporated into the concept of “Pauselock” or Circuit Retaining Mode is used in Kinesiology. The Reference Book therefore does not focus so much on techniques or protocols as it does on the knowledge of epigenetic programming and the quantumphysical, which will form the basis for you to develop your own individual processes for healing at this level.

Balancing the Life Force and Quantum Field Theory/Epigenetic Programming may become foundational knowledge or it may become a focus area. Either way, hopefully the absorbing of the knowledge shared in the reference book will increase your awareness of your participation in the Collective Consciousness as you interact in the sharing of universal knowledge that is no more mine than yours, or those who are quoted.

Knowledge belongs to the totality of the Universe, when we seek to be in harmony with the Universe and that knowledge; we are destined to achieve higher good results both in our own life, and in the facilitation of healing in others.

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
The mind is everything.
What we think we become."
Buddha.

The Reference Book focuses on providing a background to both Epigenetics and Quantum physics theories individually, as well as how each relates to the other, to Neuroantomy and to energy healing principles.
By accepted definition:-

THE QUANTUM FIELD THEORY Refers to the paradigm that:-

At the quantum level, reality does not exist until there is an observer.
The conscious act of observation is the key factor in the creation of a reality
by collapsing the possible into the actual.

It is proposed that the brain of the observer is part of the evolving wave function and not just the observer of it.

EPIGENETIC Literally means:-

“In addition to change in genetic sequence”.
The term has evolved to include:- ANY PROCESS THAT ALTERS GENE ACTIVITY
WITHOUT CHANGING THE DNA SEQUENCE.

Explained simply:-
The relationship between the Quantum Field Theory and Epigenetic Programming is that the observer creates a reality, the experiences of which are then stored in cellular memory and inherited in the process of genetic and epigenetic imprinting.

It is beliefs/memories and perceptions in the Epigenome that
# form the inherited belief system and
# aid in the formation of the constructed belief system that together influence how we as an observer create our own reality
# and store the experiences of these choices in our cellular memory
# which in combination with those already imprinted into the epigenetic blue print of our ancestors, is handed forward to future generations


Unless some interference is introduced to change the imprint:-

Quantum Field Theory and Epigenetic Programming - Balancing the Life Force, seeks to identify what Energy Interference Patterns will permanently change epigenetic imprinting, how this may be achieved, and what is the potentiality of so doing.

THE ROLE OF THE OBSERVER IS TO CREATE THE INDIVIDUAL’S REALITY

Balancing The Life Force is a journey of acknowledging that this “observer created reality” imprinted into the cellular memory through epigenetic processes can be rewritten effectively and transgenerationally by altering the observation not just in the emotional/mental/physical beings but in the totality of the individual’s existence in the quantum field.

This is not a Theory – it is a clinically proven construct based on a foundation of universally accepted knowledge and research. It is a new paradigm, as is much of Quantum Physics, as was Kinesiology itself a little over thirty years ago, it is the “New Physics of Conscious Creation”

Researchers tell us that information is expounding at such a rate that “theories” are being proven in clinical studies often faster than the publication of the proposal of that theory, so that it has already become “fact” before the general public is aware that the concept was being considered.

Epigenetics and Conscious Creation are such theories – to the science world they are very much a proven fact, whilst to the reader it may not previously have even been known of as a theory. The New Physics of Conscious Creation is no longer a “probable”. It is a fact; it is only the possibilities that are yet unrealised.

Quantum Brain Theory

"Consciousness is a sequence of discrete events. These conscious events, which are actually this particular type of quantum state reduction due to this threshold at the fundamental level (of space/time geometry) occur roughly forty times a second"
Stuart Hameroff, M.D.

Balancing the LIFE FORCE is about recognizing the subtle variations in the energy flow between the physical and metaphysical fields of probabilities and the quantumphysical field of possibilities, taking into account the collective consciousness of the whole and other quantum influences such as entanglement, entrainment and observer/observed.

The probability of challenges and changes arising from interactions as they occur with other LIFE FORCES, whose own energies are also both dynamic and interactive, can be described as both expectant and observable, albeit not necessarily predictable and quantifiable – a quantum random event.

In studying BALANCING THE LIFE FORCE concepts, students require of themselves the willingness and openness to consider that they are the creators of their own LIFE JOURNEY and as such, all experiential data, contained within the cell memory, has been received, and continues to reside there, with permission from self.

Conscious Parenting
STK facilitates and promotes Conscious Parenting and Nurturing of the child we care for, and the child we are ourselves (the inner child)

STK facilitates the individual’s journey to realize self love, self respect, and self nurturing of the child within. Only then can we truly love, respect and nurture the children we are privileged to provide parenting care for, free from the Constructed and Inherited Belief Systems that have inhibited our own lives.

Dr Bruce Lipton M D, PhD, in Biology of Perception says “As a parent you are epigenetically engineering your children by your perceptions”

He also says “50% of a child’s intelligence is developed pre natal – if the child is pre-conceived/conceived in fear it will be built for survival, if it preconceived/conceived in an environment of nurturing, it will be built for intelligence”


Areas of focus are:-

Intelligent conception and pregnancy
Conception and pregnancy trauma
Parental issues re pregnancy eg own birthing history, fears, experiences, and imprints
Infertility, Difficulties in conception or in achieving full term pregnancy
“Untimely birth” – Premature birth, Caesarians, overdue, unplanned pregnancies
Birthing processes, Childbirth trauma, birthing choices, Homebirth preparations
Siblings, and their challenges
Conscious Parenting practices
Becoming an IIP+
A Positive Intention Imprinted Person

Epigenetic Kinesiology

STK focuses on the quantumphysical connections of dis-ease, in the individual, in creation and in the universes. By seeking to identify, in the individual, as many neurotransmitter connections to cellular memory, epigenetic imprint, and mitochondrion experiences in each session as is permitted to enable the maximum affect of the individual’s own healing choices through conscious creation and intention, not only does the individual life force regain harmony and balance within itself, it is also regained with the individual’s environment and the universes as a whole...

“Epigenetic Medicine is a new form of therapy destined to upend many of the certainties of today's medical and psychological practice. Epigenetics (epi=above, epigenetic=control of genes from above or outside the cell) is a new science less than ten years old. It shows that genes are activated or deactivated by many factors originating outside the cell and even outside the body. These factors include childhood nurturing, belief, spirituality, prayer, visualization, and the quality of our social network. It seems incredible that our cells could be conditioned daily by these epigenetic influences. Yet the most cutting-edge scientific research shows that intention literally affects the conformation of the DNA molecule. Our consciousness is affecting our bodies every day. Large-scale scientific studies have shown that success in resolving emotional trauma can lower our chances of getting cancer, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In the words of Dawson Church, who coined the term Epigenetic Medicine and identifies an Epigenetic Health Cycle in his book The Genie in Your Genes, "psychology is physiology;" what we believe and think has an immediate effect on our bodies.” DAWSON CHURCH, Ph.D. - The Genie In Your Genes

According to Church, the individual can turn this knowledge to self healing advantage, engaging powerful epigenetic processes through the quality of emotions and thoughts, and the nature of conscious intentions to address the many imbalances in the Life Force.

How does this apply to the approach taken by STK?

By -

Conscious Creation and the Individual
Facilitating the individual in the conscious creation of health and wellbeing through Balancing the totality of the Life Force.

STK works at the level of the mitochondrion experience, cellular memory and epigenetic imprint to erase soul journey, generational and universal imbalances manifesting as “dis-ease” of the mind body heart and soul of the individual and those epigenetically connected to the individual.

Often the metaphors of this dis-ease and imbalance are recognizable as:-

Recurring dreams/nightmares, and recollections of distressful events
Childhood traumas
Accidents and significant deaths causing emotional, mental or physical trauma
Awareness of Sexual abuse, verbal and physical abuse or intimidation
Pain - both Physical & Emotional
Stress & Anxiety
Injuries & and ongoing low grade Illnesses
Depression and mental illness
Fatigue & Lethargy
Nutritional or weight management challenges, a need to detox/ Lymphatic drainage
Addictive behaviours
A lack of Confidence &/or Self esteem
Learning difficulties, dyslexia, poor concentration
Fears & Phobias
Musculo-Skeletal disorders
Allergic reactions and sensitivities to food or the environment
Behavioural problems
Ongoing or repetitive Relationship difficulties
Personal development and Empowerment challenges
Concerns in relation to Communication skills
A need for Performance enhancement (i.e. personal, work, sport)
Goal accomplishment and identifying sabotages
Help with Life style planning and management
Women’s, Men’s and children’s challenges
Bedwetting
Migraines
Grinding of teeth and dental disorders
Infections
Infertility
Sports injuries, lack of co-ordination, “accident prone”
Vaccinations
Spiritual disconnections, lack of grounding and balance with the environment and the universes – no life direction, a sense of “absence from life”
Abdication from life

QUANTUM FIELD THEORY AND EPIGENETIC PROGRAMMING

WHAT IS QUANTUMPHYSICAL KINESIOLOGY?

Quantumphysical Kinesiology focuses on the totality of self in the universes, encompassing all from the soul journey to the epigenetic imprint and mitochondrion memory.

Identifying imbalances in the energy fields of the individual and how these have not only been influenced by the energy fields of others, but may carry the consequences of those interactions is a change of focus from the conventional approach to the Physical to the more traditional approach of the Metaphysical. Science readily recognizes that the human life force is more than just Physical Being; we are emotions, intellect, spirit and physical. What manifests positively or negatively in one aspect of the Life Force, manifests to a larger or lesser extent in the others. Commonly people speak of “bad or negative vibes” or someone “not themselves today” or “being beside themselves” these are a conscious recognition, but not necessarily understanding, of this concept that the individual is more than just the physical self.

Metaphysical Kinesiology recognizes that dis-ease and stress in the physical energy manifest in blockages and imbalances, and that imbalances and blockages in the energy of the emotional and mental beings will also manifest as physical imbalances.

Quantumphysical Kinesiology recognizes that in addition to these, blockages in the Spiritual Being and in the Epigenetic (cell memory/epigenetic imprint/ imbalances in the mitochondrion) will also manifest in the other Beings. The focus of Life Force Balancing is the total integration of all energy pathways of all Beings of the Self for Well Being emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.

It must be noted that in speaking of the Spiritual Being this does not refer to a Religion or Faith, but to the Essence of the Person – that which drives/motivates and inspires the Will to live and to live with Life, Energy, Love and Enthusiasm.

Psychiatry, Psychology, and general Counseling all recognize the effect environment has on the individuals perception of both his/herself, others and the world in general – the Metaphysical takes this proven fact and recognizes the imbalances and blockages that adverse or negative influences may have had on the individual’s Life Force in the past and the probable consequences of this manifesting in Etheric Being as Imbalance and dis-ease.

Quantum-physical principles of Vibrational healing uses these past identifiers, found in the cell knowledge, as keys to unlock the blockages and release negative energy from the individual’s Energy Fields.

Through Balancing the Life Force – a quantum-physical approach to Kinesiology is used to identify these contributing factors and resultant blockages and thereby release the body’s natural healing capacity to deal not only with physical manifestations of these imbalances, but with the totality of the individual’s existence – the Life Force.

How long are you going to be my client?

I ask my clients – HOW LONG DO YOU INTEND TO BE MY CLIENT?

I tell them - MY AIM IS FOR IT TO BE FOR THE SMALLEST PERIOD OF TIME YOU CHOOSE!


What would you think if you were the client, and the Doctor, Business Mentor, or Therapist for instance, said to you – “My aim is for you to not need me, I am going to teach you how to do this so well for yourself you will only need to see me very occasionally or not at all” Some may think – you’ll never make any money that way – you are eliminating your own clientele!! Not true – there will always be another person to take their place for a period of time in that person’s journey, and why not teach another how to be well and empowered to continue to be well?
At a time when Rural and Regional Communities are being left with limited or no Conventional Medical facilities, the opportunity to better manage and self correct basic Wellness issues through Holistic Natural Therapies is becoming more crucial to both individuals, families and the Business Environment, particularly for the self employed where being sick is not an option. Even in the metropolitan areas, were services may be more accessible, with the current financial environment many families just cannot afford convential medicine solutions. Knowing simple ways of dealing with the every day "ills" and stresses of life for you and your family can make a huge difference to your own sense of being in control of your life and having a sense of hope for a future grounded in health and well being.


The pandemic scare is a classic example of the potential of having to find better ways of dealing with illness, improving our immune system to improve our defence against these viruses, and of being able to manage the multitude of stresses that daily life is now placing in our path.

Kinesiology actively promotes self responsibility and self empowerment – the foundation of all protocols lies within programs deliberately written to facilitate the individual talking control of, and responsibility for, their own wellness, of knowing what and how at the right time for the right response. Through the programs such as Touch for Health, or through working with a Practitioner, you can learn how to better manage your own Wellness gaining simple, easy to learn skills to improve stress management, concentration, nutrition, eyesight and hearing, brain integration and much more, individuals learn .


Wouldn't you like to know how to deal with the every day issues in your life that interfere with your health and well being - the energy drop after lunch or at dinner time, the daily headache, the food cravings, and that person who seems to know which "button" to push everytime, and to do it for yourself, with out a doctor, counsellor, or medication? You can be learning for yourself how to recognize the stressors, and how to deal with them with easy to learn techniques you can use on yourself anywhere anytime.


Why do I focus on stress management, wellness and teaching the client to heal themselves? Kinesiology deliberately focuses on building strengths rather than alleviating “weaknesses” -recognizing that Stress can be both positive or challenging but is a necessary part of existence is a primary factor in learning to manage stress and achieve wellness. When we change our response to, or perception of, stress – we change the environment in which that stressor has existed.


If we know that our own health and well being is in our hands to a very large degree then we are less stressed, more in control, and more able to make the decisions which bring us well being and longevity. There are some really easy and affordable three hour courses to learn about eating better, improving your eyesight or helping kids. If you are serious about "going natural" then take a look at my website, or others who teach Kinesiology, and think about investing less than a doctors appointment in learning some simple techniques to improve your life


What the hec is "kinesiology?"

I always laugh when someone asks "what do you do?" because I know they are probably going to look pretty confused after I answer them! Lots of people are interested in natural remedies, natural foods, and the environment these days but don't know much about the practitioners who work in these areas or what they are called. So I will often say "Oh I am a Kinesiologist, which is sort of a natural therapist". They often still look confused but at least they have a bit more of an idea of what I am talking about.


Of course I love what I do, which is working with people to help them improve their own health, find better ways to deal with stress, improve their "brain power", find solutions to why they are sick and how to get better, and get rid of some of the garbage in their life from the past that stuffs up their relationships right here in the now. It's great to see clients being able to make better choices and feel more positive about themselves and their lives. LOL sometimes helping the client also helps their cat or dog as well because animals are so connected with their owners that they feel everything that the owner is feeling - depression, sadness, aches and pains - strange but true! Of course if my answer to people who asked me what I do, included "oh and I am a Kinesiologist for animals as well as people" well the straight jacket would probably come out pretty fast but that's ok because I think its strange too, but also know it happens!


The other challenge is that many people are a bit sceptical about "energy" when it comes to talking about health and well being. People who know anything about Eastern medicine, Meridians, Chakras and those type of things are less confused by Kinesiology, but Western society and especially Australians are more wary of any energy or natural type approaches.


Funnily enough in Europe and England and America, Kinesiology is a common option as a health maintenance, and is also used in schools to help improved educational and sporting achievements but for the moment this 30 year young natural therapy in Australia still has a lot to prove to anyone who has not tried it for themself.

There have been and will continue to be, detractors and criticisms of Kinesiology in any and all of its forms – some from mis-informed persons, some from religious radicals, again undoubtedly mis-informed, and often from the conventional medicine/wisdom proponents threatened by the self responsibility –self healing focus of Kinesiology.

The thing is that conventional medicine is great in some circumstances but it is not the solution to eveything, and as costs to attend a doctor rise, and the it becomes more difficult to even get an appointment, it becomes more urgent for people to know how to improve and maintain their own health and well being. Not only that - conventional medicine is becoming a dangerous choice at times -

In Australia, in the Brisbane Courier Mail, Monday February 2, 2009 a report from the federal Productivity Commission said that in 2006-2007 33 Queenslanders either had the wrong body part operated on, or under went procedures intended for someone else, in NSW there were 9 patients subjected to the same mistakes. Death of a patient that could be reasonably attributed to incorrect administration of drugs was 6 in Queensland and 3 in NSW, there were 4 accidental deaths in Qld in relation to labour and birth, 1 in NSW. Fetal deaths were 7% in Queensland and 5% in NSW. In Queensland, 3.1% or 3454 patients returned to hospital within 28 days for unexpected treatment of the same condition, in NSW it was 2.1%.

Mike Connor of the Courier Mail said “The reality is that nothing ever changes and that the system continues to kill people who should have lived and delivers a standard of service which falls short of what it should be”

In America, the FDA program to encourage doctors to report adverse effects caused by drugs and devices generated more than 4,000 serious reports in its first eight months of operation. (FDA Medical Bulletin, May 1994) They define "serious" as any one of the following: death, hospitalization, disability, a life-threatening condition, a congenital anomaly or intervention to prevent permanent damage. Sixty-five percent of the total number of reports were reactions to drugs

By comparison – there is NO evidence or even accusation that Kinesiology has harmed, maimed or killed a client. Sites dedicated to attacking Kinesiology and promoting “medical science” seem to omit the statistical data relating to the “deaths in custody” of their patients!

As the founder of TFH, the basis of all Specialized Kinesiology protocols, Dr Thei said in 2003 “We need to be realistic about the Powers that be, government institutions and international, national, and local law, as well as organized professional institutions and business associations. We have seen that in the U.S., the American Medical Association has managed to establish their dogma of Medicine/Science as almost a state religion with the AMA as the high priesthood. We have experienced decades of witch hunts, where "Quack busters" have used their self-referential standards to judge alternative healing models and essentially persecute many healing practices nearly out of existence. However, it is the very magnitude of that success, and the subsequent failing of modern medicine to adequately address the health needs of the people that has resulted in our current resurgence of alternative world views and healing practices, which are now being honestly examined and integrated with the best of allopathic medicine…….We need to be able to distinguish between people who we respect and ideas or practices which we criticize. Whenever we can have discussion about competing ideas, to enrich and increase our understanding of each other, rather than argument to decide who is right or wrong, we are remembering wellness. We need to maintain mutual regard, multiplicity of possibly valuable views and techniques, even seemingly diametrically opposite or contradictory concepts and approaches to helping people. This is a testimony to the multiple ways in which the whole Soul (the whole person, physical, mentally, emotionally & spiritually) may function, and not a question of the right way and the wrong way.”

The critics of Kinesiology seek to prevent us from experiencing our own empowerment and expressing our own inherent knowledge of our higher good health and well being by predefining the limits of human potential. They do this in the face of varied and substantial documented evidence to the contrary.

Dr Thei said “One model of science states that "real" science involves testing theories by repeated and independent experiments. This model is spoken of as robust at certain statistical levels and less robust when there is more "room for chance". This model is very good for certain concrete material objects which our modern technology allows us to build. But when it comes to human beings, there are too many significant variables that cannot be controlled in isolated experiments. We cannot and do not seek to prove that any single aspect of our intervention has any singular effect. We seek to have a highly integrated, and individual, subjective process, which can be shown to consistently yield positive results while simultaneously having negligible risk of harm. When we remember wellness with TFH, we recognize that what the person feels (emotion), believes (faith) or thinks (cognition) at the time of the muscle testing makes a difference in the outcome of the testing. None of these factors can be controlled in the (blind, double blind, or triple blind) Random Clinical Trial, the so-called gold standard of "scientific" evidence of efficacy. We must adopt research on the outcomes of what we do. We need to concentrate on what happens in real life situations, rather than trying to control for a single discrete mechanism that is proposed to explain the results of the Kinesiology interventions. We cannot allow ourselves to be pressured into explaining Kinesiology from a solely materialistic point of view.”

Quantum physicist Fritjof Capra states “My conscious decision about how to observe an electron will determine the electron’s properties to some extent. If I ask it a particle question, it will give me a particle answer. If I ask it a wave question, it will give me a wave answer …. The electron does not have objective properties independent of my mind”

The Detractors are asking a set of questions and receiving answers to those questions based on perceptions, not based on the totality of the information available if they were prepared to ask more appropriate questions or view more relevant data. This is why the Newtonian mechanistic data verification approach of conventional medicine does not work as an assessment model for Kinesiology – assessment and results are bio- individual and contextually specific.

As for the detractors, and the arguments they promote. It is not that they are arguing from scientific evidence but rather from their own fears and prejudices. Dr Bruce Lipton, Cellular Biologist says in his book the Biology of Perception “You can only see what you have perception filters to see. You see the world not as it is but as you are” so it is logical that there will always be those who cannot “See” the scientific and statistical evidence of the success of Kinesiology because their own perception prejudices will not allow this.

As a Kinesiologist, this does not offend me, I am aware that every person’s journey is their own and I have no need to form a judgment on them as they do on Kinesiology or on our clients. It is one of the foundational principles of Kinesiology to respect each individual where they are at any given moment in their journey.

I have seen over and over Clients who have been ill for many years, who have felt there was no way out from their life bound up by depression or illness, find ways within themselves to take control of their life, and to find healing and well being by being able to recongnize the contributing factors to their illness.

If you want to try a simple technique for yourself - next time you are feeling stressed - with two fingers, hold the two points on your forehead that protude just above your eyes, or place your palm completely over your forehead ( you may realize you already do this automatically when stressed) now, holding those points, close your eyes and breath deeply and slowly. If you have a special place that brings you peace and joy - perhaps a waterfall, a view from a mountain, or holding a child, visualize that special moment. Exclude all thoughts of what you are stressed about. Allow yourself a few minutes in that position. What occurs is that the blood is drawn to the front brain which is where you process from an analytical/creative position, and away from the back brian which is your survival mode. The increase in blood to the frontal lobe helps increase positive processing and reduce increased stress responses in the neuroprocessors. Tried it? Felt it? You just gave yourself a Kinesiology session! Hope you liked it. Will post some more quick helps if people like this!
