Temporal Sphenoidal Reflex Points | Touch for Health

Good day, reader. So once in a while I look for interesting NEW information that is available on the Internet. [That is 'new' for me.]  Lately my 'eye' was caught by the research on Temporal Sphenoidal Reflex Points. I discovered Dr. DeJarnette and Dr.Rees have done a great job. I tested it myself and was satisfied by the results I got.

World of Kinesiology - and you as a practitioner of Specialized Kinesiology - I think with this you will have a great tool [Temporal Sphenoidal Diagnosis] you can put in your backpack.

In this article I put emphasis on the relationship between the muscles we test and the Temporal Sphenoidal Reflex Points, as their correlation lies in the organ they relate to. Well, this may or may not of a surprise. Now imagine how your work can improve when you have this knowledge at your disposal. I say it is huge.

Touch for Health

Touch for Health was introduced by John F. Thie as a 'First Aid Tool for the non-chiropractic'. In it you are tought various techniques to quickly bring Mind Body Spirit back into homeostasis. Besides the 14/42 manual muscle tests - related to 12 main acu meridians and 2 of the extra meridains - one is tought to balance these muscle tests using neuro lymphatic points, neuro vascular points, specific holding / massaging points on the related acu meridians, and more.

Temporal Sphenoidal Reflex Points

M.B. DeJarnette and M.L. Rees wrote about the Temporal Spenoidal Line in their development of 'Temporal Spenoidal Diagnosis'. This method shows the relations one can make with dedicated parts on the spine and the innervated organs with that specific part of the spine. With 'Bloodless surgery' - a nice term for elaviating stress making contact with the organs/reflex areas that are in play - used in Chiropractic Manipulative Reflex Technique (CMRT) the practitioner releases the stress in the indicated areas.

Temporal Sphenoidal Tap / Temporal Tapping
Dr. V. Repetto and Gwenn Bonnell have written about this technique. There also are a Touch for Health paper on 'Temporal Tapping [pdf]' and a writing from Energy Medicine [pdf].

"This energy technique helps break old habits, attitudes or emotional responses and establishing new ones. Simply tapping on the head around the top of the ear calms the part of the nervous system that fights to maintain your current belief systems and patterns of behavior. The brain is then more receptive to learning new beliefs and instilling new affirmations". [Gwenn Bonnell]

 It may be effective or not. But I rather focus on the source and what I can do with that. The source being Temporal Sphenoidal Diagnosis. 

Correlating Organs with Manual Muscle Tests

Combining these two methods results in the following table. This table gives an indication of what muscle to test when a specific spot on the Temporal Sphenoidal Line is 'sore'. With this relation in mind, one is directed to test the muscles involved in order to get more verifiable information.
