Metaphors of Touch for Health ® Mind/Body Awareness & Development By Matthew Thie, M.Ed.

Mind and Body Awareness: the essence of TFH & Metaphor Metaphor Means the Big IDEA or Main Concept Karada No Fushigi: Listening to the body through the muscle test/movements = mini-enlightenment “Colorful Language” Poetry = Saying much in little. Human meaning-making through spoken language. Metaphor is the Emotional Language (Enteric Brain- nutrition, immune function) How to Go Deep Fast: Metaphor is the language of Dreams and the Subconscious

Mind & Body Developing Awareness Is the essence of TFH & Metaphor

Remember Your Wellness Remember to be well Focus on your Wellness, Remember how it feels to be Well Think of a time when you had a great feeling or experience Use imagination and Metaphor to create a vivid vision with five senses & more Feel it now Rate your remembered (or imagined) wellness zero to ten JFT

Visualize your goal compare how you feel now with Your remembered/imagined/envision ed Wellness YOU are creating Your Wellness! Now Balance ~ Muscles, Energy, Heart … Soul … Have Faith … and so it is

Karada No Fushigi: The Mystery of the Body ACCEPT The Mystery Respect The Mystery Just move and notice what is the message from within/ from the infinite?

Karada No Fushigi: The Mystery of the body We accept the Mystery of the Body and how it organizes and heals itself (in harmony/conflict with awareness) Feeling the muscle/Energy = Listening to internal messages Muscle Test/ Muscle LISTENING = Mini-enlightenment Ideo-motor Response/ Auto Suggestion = self-fulfilling awareness expanding process! Metaphor of the Muscle Test as a Zen KOAN!

Karada No Fushigi: Mini-Enlightenment Muscle “Dance” Feeling the muscle/Energy = Listening to internal messages Feel the muscle in the body, or any other muscles or sensations as you do the muscle movement (test/function) If the movement is an expression of an internal feeling or idea, what would it be? If the function/test motion represents a gesture, does this gesture reflect an aspect of your life/goal/issue? A = group dance & intuition B = individual test/movement
