IASK: a FORUM for all nationalities and all modalities
IASK was founded in the USA in 1987 on the idea of creating a worldwide organisation for everybody working with the art of muscle testing / muscle monitoring. IASK is YOUR organisation.
In the Bylaws
of IASK you will find this definition:
“Specialized Kinesiology is the art of assessing the Energy Systems of a
person by using precision muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism. Using
the same feedback, a Specialized Kinesiologist identifies appropriate
protocols for promoting, restoring and maintaining balance within these
Energetic Systems.”
A Specialized Kinesiologist is “a registered member of IASK using specialized kinesiological methods and an educational model to improve her/his clients’ awareness and willingness to foster their own well-being.”
As a group of IASK members wrote at the General Meeting in 2000 in Holland: “The abundance of knowledge and experience worldwide can, through sharing, become an invaluable source of productivity and creative growth. The members of IASK inspire and enrich each other in their own personal development and professional work.”
By reading this you might feel encouraged to register as an IASK member. We suggest that you do so either as a regular member, an associate member or a supporting member. You can get all the details on the page “Join us” and the Membership form and Code of Ethics from the “Downloads” page. You just need to send us your information and the signed “Code of Ethics” together with your payment, and you will receive a membership certificate from the IASK Home office! Easy!
We are very
much looking forward to welcoming you and your friends as members.
Welcoming words from the President
Report from the President 2008 – 2009
Another year has gone, and it is time for the annual report from the President and the Board of IASK.
In
2008 our Annual General Meeting took place in Barcelona, Spain. The IASK
Board was invited to participate in the Conference “Kinesiology and
Quantum Physics”, which took place at Blanquerna, the University Ramon
Llull. Two of the IASK board members gave a presentation at this
conference.
The attendees at the AGM gave the Board permission to give discharge to
the two board members, who had resigned only one year after having been
elected for positions on the Board. Sylviane Benacher-Vrillonneau kindly
agreed to do the follow up on the accounts. We are all very grateful that
she agreed, as one of the board members, who resigned, was the newly
elected treasurer.
The
work since September 2008.
In Barcelona the Board held two meetings during the two day conference,
profiting from the fact that 4 of the 6 board members were present. Our
next “physical” meeting was held in France. Once again we spent two
days together working all day and part of the night as well. Our own
opinion is, that we get a lot of work done, and we have time for smiles
and laughter as well. Besides
these meetings we have had conference calls every month, using Skype. A
wonderful invention, when we live in 6 different countries spread over
three continents.
As 2008 wasn´t the year for elections, we decided to continue the work with just 6 board members, plus hiring a person who could do the “home office-work” as an assistant to Sylviane as well as to the whole board. We contacted several persons asking them if they would be willing to be nominated for positions at the IASK Board, when the next elections should take place in 2009 during the conference in Washington DC. Two people have accepted, Mia Dall Naf from Sweden and Denyse St. Arroman from France. We still have positions available on the board, so please consider nominating yourself – which IS possible.
As I stated last year: we can promise you, that you will be very welcome, and there is work to be done, and fun to share.
Conference 2009
Some changes have occurred re. the conference
arrangements, which has meant many conference calls between Marge Bowen,
EnKA-President, my self and different persons from the TFHKA-board.
Finally things came to a solution, and we can look forward to meeting old
and new kinesiology friends in Washington DC July 17th through 20th.
You have received all the information
in the January newsletter, which was sent snail mail to all members. It
has also been available on the website of IASK with the link to the TFHKA,
who is responsible for registration etc. The total program can also be
downloaded from the IASK, EnKA and TFHKA websites.
We are glad to be part of
this joint venture between our three organizations. Speakers from all over
the world will come and share their knowledge with each other and with all
the participants. Your IASK president will be among the presenters. Among
other things I will give a report on the project “The Kinesiological
Body”, which was initiated and has been carried through by some
researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
Plans for 2010 and 2011
The
AGM in 2010 will be held May, 27th in Copenhagen, Denmark. Donna
Eden and her husband David Feinstein, author and co-author of ‘The
Energy Medicine Book’ will be giving a workshop in Denmark at that time.
Birgitta Birath from Sweden, who does not want to be re-nominated
for a position on the board,
has nevertheless volunteered to make arrangements for the Conference in
2011. This time we will be going to Stockholm, Sweden, and we will put
together a two day program with good international presenters. Thank you,
Birgitta, also for the good and consistant work you have been doing during
your years on the board.
On behalf of the IASK Board I will encourage ALL members of IASK to contribute with whatever you can in spreading information about our worldwide association. Together we are stronger than alone.
Warm regards
Annemarie
Goldschmidt
President
