In today's episode of Healing Starts Here, host Mary Greensmith sits down with the wonderful Havva Said, an experienced homeopath and kinesiologist. Together, they break down the fascinating practice of kinesiology, how muscle testing actually works, and why teaching people to listen to their bodies is the ultimate form of energy medicine.

Havva explains that kinesiology is a holistic therapy that focuses on balancing three main aspects of the body: the chemical, the physical, and the mental/emotional states.

• Chemical: Focuses on what you put into your body, such as fresh air, good food, supportive supplements, and minimizing pollutants.
• Physical: Focuses on the structural body, ensuring you get good sleep, regular exercise, and avoid physical strain.
• Mental/Emotional: Focuses on clearing the mind, honoring a higher power, and maintaining freedom from anxiety and fear.

When life inevitably throws these elements out of balance, kinesiology helps support the body back into harmony.

The cornerstone of kinesiology is muscle testing. Havva explains that this is how the body physically talks to the practitioner. During a session, a client is asked to push an arm or leg in a specific direction while the practitioner provides gentle resistance. If there is an underlying issue or imbalance related to the specific organ meridian tied to that muscle, the muscle will physically test weak—even if the client is incredibly strong!

From there, Havva acts as a detective. If the kidney meridian tests weak, for instance, she can test different herbs, supplements, or Bach flower remedies against the body. If the right remedy is introduced to the body's energy field, the previously weak muscle will instantly test strong!

Once the root of the imbalance and the proper supportive remedies are identified, Havva performs what is known as a "fix." While the client remains fully clothed on the table, Havva uses massage to stimulate lymphatic points, hold neurovascular points, and stroke the affected meridians to unblock stagnant energy. Clients often leave the table feeling instantly lighter and incredibly relaxed!

By pairing the physical fixes of kinesiology with the emotional support of homeopathy, Havva provides her clients with a beautifully well-rounded, holistic healing experience.

In this eye-opening episode, host Dee Nicole sits down with Sara Elise, an incredibly gifted therapeutic astrologer. Sara shares her wild journey from being a staunch atheist to experiencing a profound spiritual awakening at age 21. If you have ever felt like you do not quite fit into the "normal" world, this heartfelt conversation is for you!

Have you ever heard of "wholeing"? Sara introduces this beautiful concept, explaining that true growth requires two steps. First, we must dive into our deep, human wounds and emotional baggage—this is the healing process. But simultaneously, we must rise up to connect with the wisdom of our higher selves. Bringing those two pieces together is what creates true wholeness.

Astrology is so much more than just the sun sign horoscope you read in a magazine. Sara practices karmic astrology, which views your birth chart as a map of your soul. She explains how reading your chart uncovers the past experiences you brought into this life, your current evolutionary goals, and the tension between the two. Understanding your unique "hero's journey" gives you the profound objectivity needed to finally embrace your personal story.

Dee and Sara also touch on what it means to stay authentic in an increasingly digital world. Sara passionately reminds us that each person is a divine spark. While AI can regurgitate existing information, it will never be able to replicate the unique, creative vibration of your soul. Now more than ever, learning about your astrological blueprint can give you the permission you need to embrace your brilliant, irreplaceable individuality.

In today's episode, host Dee Nicole is joined by former professional dancer and healing artist Kristen Mangione. Together, they dive into the transformative power of somatic movement and how simply tuning into our bodies can unlock profound emotional and energetic healing. If you spend too much time sitting at a desk or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation is exactly what you need!

Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kristen explains a simple truth: energy is movement. When energy stagnates, disease or discomfort often follows. By embracing movement and dance, we can actively shift and harmonize our energy. Beyond just the physical benefits, movement releases essential feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, offering a powerful, natural boost to our mental health and acting as a coping strategy for depression.

We can easily trick our minds, but our bodies always hold the truth. Kristen shares how modern distractions—from endless scrolling to binge-watching—keep us completely disconnected from what we truly feel. By engaging in mindful, intentional movement, we bypass the ego and tap into our deeper, subconscious truths.

Kristen opens up about her personal journey of experiencing intense panic attacks while performing professionally. A spontaneous moment of deep presence on stage shifted her entire perspective, bringing her back to a joyful "beginner's mind." This inspired her to create Dance Alchemya, a safe, non-judgmental practice where participants often move with their eyes closed. This allows everyone—regardless of their dance experience—to explore their inner world without fear of judgment.

Are you feeling completely disconnected from your physical self? You are not alone! For anyone struggling with the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, Kristen recommends starting small. Pick a song that holds deep personal meaning and simply allow your body to move to it. Dee echoes this beautifully, championing the "5-minute dance party" as a perfect daily reset.

"Your body is your greatest guide. It's your North Star. Honor that." – Kristen Mangione

Remember, your biology and beliefs are entirely malleable. Trauma is not written in stone, and true healing is always within your reach.
