Some people have headaches during the day whereas others complain of headaches at night. It was discovered that the nervous system must always be tested "in relationship to" the way it remembers the trauma. If the injury happened at night, the body will show weaknesses (neural disorganization) at night. At night or "in relation to the dark" was when the nervous system went into defence and subsequently turned down its energy flow to the digestive and reproductive circuits. If the kinesiologist is testing body circuits when the lights are on, the body will not show any weakness. However, when the lights are turned off the circuits will show the defect. The correction, therefore, must be made in the dark, either literally or figuratively. After years of clinical research it has been found that the body will respond to a verbal command by the practitioner of "it's dark", rather than actually having to turn off the lights.

If you relate this to how a computer works, it is the same way. If you want to delete a file, you have to know the code of the file Then you can bring the file up on to the screen, and the computer will allow you to delete that file with a simple, gentle push of a button. Similarily, if you have found that the programs of the body show weakness with the eyes open and stay strong with the eyes closed, why would you do the treatment with the eyes closed? The body computer will not work with you and you won't have much success. Does it make sense to push the computer buttons harder or more times when we don't get the desired results, as our health systems do with people by giving them forceful treatments, repetitive treatments, stronger medications or invasive surgeries or modalities?  The body is very sophisticated. We just have to listen to it and speak to it intelligently.

I believe that the "in relation to" phenomenon is of major significance and is one of the reasons why many therapies fail to show high success rates. If we are to help the body regain its balance and optimum flow of energy we must talk to it in the way it thinks. Time and again I've seen car accident victims who showed complete organization of their nervous system when lying down on the treatment table, yet when the same tests were repeated in the sitting position all of their circuits showed weakness. This is because the person was in the sitting position at the time of impact/neural disorganization and the body is no longer completely safe in that position. The individual has no choice but to defend, until it is safely reset. His or her complaints of pain and inability to sit comfortably will persist until they are intelligently disarmed.

A good doctor or therapist must be a good detective and think like the body of a patient. The possibilities of how many "in relation to" factors exist are endless, but once the most common circuits are cleared (eyes open and closed, in the light and dark) the body can usually clear many of the other combinations on its own.
