INTRODUCTION
Definition of movement in this article. Movement, as used in this article, on
this website, and in books by Dr. Wilson, has a special meaning. It does not mean taking the body from
place to place.
Movement is one
of the most basic concepts of life. It is composed of several parts:
- Fulfilling
oneÕs genetic potential. This aspect of movement is pre-programmed into the genes
or DNA material of each body cell.
It contains much more than just the color of your eyes and the shape and
size of your body. Over 97% of our DNA has not been decoded, and scientists call
this the Òjunk DNAÓ. However, it
is not junk. It is just more difficult
to figure out what it means.
In part, it contains
the design for development. Development may be viewed as the
spiritual growth and unfolding of a human or animal body. It can require millions of years to
occur if one lives that long. For
details about development, read Introduction
To Development.
- Within the
genetic blueprint or patterning discussed above, we fulfill or express the
desires and intentions of the director souls and the controller and other guide
creatures that direct our lives.
This learning
process may include experiencing traumas, accidents and other seemingly random
events as one goes through life.
It also
includes the cleanup, retracing or undoing of imbalances,
illnesses, traumas and injuries at all levels of functioning.
It also
includes the cleanup, retracing or purification of traumas and other problems
that the souls brought with them to this body from past
experiences.
MOVEMENT
IS AN EBB AND FLOW
For example,
as one goes through life, at times things flow easily and favorably. At other times, one runs into
difficulties or blockages. At
times, it seems like life is moving one along quickly, while at other times it
seems like nothing is progressing well.
These are examples of the idea of movement, as the word is used in this article.
II.
MOVEMENT AND HAIR MINERAL TESTING
A
fascinating observation of Dr. Paul Eck and myself is
that one can assess some qualities of movement that a person is going through
from a hair mineral chart.
Requires a special display chart. The chart must be set up a certain way
for this to work. At this time,
only the hair chart from Analytical Research Labs can show the movement
patterns clearly.
Examples. Some common examples of movement
patterns are:
Calcium shell. Here the movement is sluggish, or almost stopped. The person is often
hiding, in fact, and does not want to move ahead, or is suppressed or repressed
emotionally for some reason.
Interestingly, the pattern looks like a high wall on the ARL calibrated chart, as though the person is stuck behind
a wall.
Sympathetic dominance. Here the person is pushing himself or
herself hard. Often, this leads to
illness. There is always some fear
and anxiety with this pattern of movement.
The hill pattern. This pattern is an accomplishment, joy
and celebration pattern. One has
overcome, or Òclimbed the mountainÓ.
Interestingly, the pattern looks like a mountain on the calibrated ARL hair chart.
The bowl pattern. Here the person is stuck, and feels
stuck, in most cases. Oddly, the
appearance of the pattern is like that of a spider who is
caught inside a sink bowl or toilet bowl and cannot get out.
I could go
on with 50 different hair mineral patterns that relate to the psychological and
even spiritual ÒmoodÓ or movement that a person is experiencing at the time the
hair test was performed.
To learn
about the movement tendencies associated with various hair analysis patterns,
please read Chapter 22 of Nutritional Balancing And Hair Mineral Analysis,
4th edition, 2010 and 2014 editions. For each mineral level, ratio and pattern, I have included a
brief section about the movement pattern associated it.
While this
may seem quite complex, often, if one understands the basic concepts of
movement described above, the movement patterns associated with each level,
ratio and pattern are not often that difficult to understand. Once one understands them, they are
most useful part of the interpretation of a hair mineral test and clients
greatly appreciate knowing their movement patterns and what to do to change
them to a more balanced, harmonious movement.
The rest of
this article is a bit technical, but will help you understand more about
movement.
III.
UNDERPINNINGS OF MOVEMENT PATTERNS
GENERAL
TYPES OF MATHEMATICAL VECTORS
Movement
patterns may be thought of as vectors. A vector is an arrow that describes a
direction and sometimes a pace or speed of movement.
The
following are some of the major types of movement vectors or patterns:
á
Straight
motion in any direction.
This type I will call more ÔmaleÕ. Male energy is more
focused in one direction and usually is more single-minded, one might
say.
á
More
circular motion. This type I
will call more ÔfemaleÕ. It is characterized by a more social, more roundabout, at
times, and often more loving energy that surrounds and envelops
and even caresses. Rounded or circular movement can be felt, at times, by those who
have more of the ÔfemaleÕ elements in their bodies such as copper. It is often felt
as a spacey or more non-directed and ungrounded energy that wishes to include
others and is less selfish, but often very unfocused and unrealistic at times,
as well.
á
Inward, absorbing or centripetal
motion. This
is a more ÔmaleÕ motion. In traditional Chinese medicine, inward motion is called more yang. It is more penetrating, more centering,
and often more concentrated or focused, and therefore more powerful.
á
Outward-looking, centrifugal motion. This is a more ÔfemaleÕ
motion. In traditional Chinese
thought, outward or expanding motion is called more yin. It is softer, more ÒscatteredÓ, less focused in one
direction, and often not as effective in an immediate way. However, in the long term
it is very effective in filling all space and time, and it moves along, but in
a different way than the more focused inward, yang-oriented way.
á
Speed. Movement can be very rapid, or sluggish. There is always movement, however, in
all particles.
á
Movement that is ÔstuckÕ in some way. While all particles display movement, movement patterns or complex
movement can definitely result in one feeling stuck or unable to move along in
life. This is
seen commonly on hair mineral tests as patterns such as the bowl
pattern, the four lows pattern, the calcium shell pattern, and others seen
on hair mineral tests.
á
Movement toward life and movement
away from life. These more complex types of movement are seen in the step
down pattern and the step up pattern on
hair mineral tests, respectively.
á
Wave motion. All minerals also demonstrate wave phenomena. This means that their movement is in
waves or that they vibrate as they move.
This is a subtle property, however, that is less important for this
article.
á
Directionality upwards or
downwards. All movement is in a particular
direction in relation to other forces such as gravity, magnetic fields, or even
in relation to other minerals in the same vicinity.
While
movement can be in any direction, two primary directions are toward or into the
earth and away from the earth. In
traditional Chinese thought, movement downward toward or into the earth, which
is a centripetal or inward movement, is more yang or male, while movement
radiating upward and away from the earth is more female
or yin.
á
Other primary types of movement on
earth. These
include circling the planet, as in an orbit around the earth. Another is skipping along the surface,
as occurs with water and air currents.
á
Sexual pairs. Due to the above directional qualities, minerals
form what may be called sexual pairs. That is, a straighter-motion mineral
works closely with a more circular-motion mineral for some purpose in the body.
á
More complex movement patterns. The patterns above may combine in many ways. For example, movement can become faster and then slower, and
then faster again in an alternating way.
Movement can also be straight for a while, and then become more
circular. It may also be upwards for a while, and then downward or circular or
tangential to the earth for a while.
Thus, the ideas become more complex.
Yin and yang summary.
More
yang movements are downward toward the earth, straight and inward. More yin movements of energy are upward
away from the earth, outward or radiating and circular.
IV.
MOVEMENT PATTERNS OF MINERALS
Minerals
display interesting physics properties of all types. One that is not discussed much at
all may be called movement. This is not the same as the spin of the
atoms, or the spin of molecules due to their degree of heat energy. These are well-known
and well-understood in physics.
Instead,
this article focuses on another aspect of minerals that is a bit more esoteric,
but very helpful in understanding health and disease, at times. It is also helpful for hair analysis
interpretation. Movement, as defined here, has to do with
the way energy moves in the vicinity of the mineral. The motion is
basically in a particular direction, relative to gravity, the earthÕs
magnetic fields, and other directional forces on earth.
How
the movement is determined.
This type of movement in a mineral is determined
by the physical qualities of the mineral and how it interacts with other things
in the body such as other minerals, foods, etc.
To some
degree, this type of movement or motion is anthromorphic,
meaning that one can attribute life-like qualities to an inanimate or lifeless
substance such as a mineral.
However, there is also a direct physics quality that
is present in all minerals.
The value of this concept. This
concept will be found to be helpful for health
practitioners because the properties of movement of minerals can and does
affect our health. If oneÕs
minerals are in balance, health improves, in part because of the movement
patterns and their combinations.
If less preferred minerals are present in the body, such as toxic
metals, they create disharmonious and thus harmful movement patterns within the
body. This is the importance of
this large topic. Perhaps the
easiest way to discuss it in more detail is to offer some simple examples, and
how they affect our health.
CALCIUM
Calcium is
one of the most basic minerals on planet earth. It is used in the body for nerve
conduction and for structural strength, primarily, although it has other
uses. Its helps us move away from
the earth, which is the yin direction, but calcium itself is not yin.
Straight, and more sluggish motion. Calcium is a more
male element because its motion is primarily in a straight line. This has to do with its electrical
conductivity properties. Minerals
that move in a straighter direction tend to be poorer electrical conductors
such as calcium.
Its motion
or movement tendency is also inward.
Inward moving minerals tend to build up the body and this is also considered more yang.
Calcium is
also downward-moving in the sense that it is a
grounding mineral. This is also
more yang in nature. Calcium is hard, dense, stalwart or heavy. It is very different, for example, from
hydrogen or helium that are light and tend to float upward away from the
earthÕs gravitational field.
While this
discussion may seem contradictory or complex, this is what is
meant by the movement associated with a mineral. Let us examine some other very
important minerals and their effects on the body.
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium,
which I call the bright and shining mineral, has a very different energy or
movement about it. It is involved
in millions of essential enzymes in the body. Its movement is thus very fast, while that of calcium is
more sluggish.
Circular. The
movement of magnesium is also more female and
circular. This may seem odd. However, it is the fact. Magnesium, for example, is involved in
the reproductive system of female animals more than in the reproductive systems
of male species. The males use
more zinc instead.
The higher
magnesium in their organs actually helps give the females some of their
ÒfeminineÓ qualities of mind, emotions and body features. These are most easily
seen, in fact, in human beings.
The womenÕs bodies are more curvy, softer, brighter and more sexy as a
result. Sex, it will
be found, has even more to do with certain physics qualities than it
does with hormones. Hormones, of
course, are just made of minerals, mainly. The female hormones often contain a little more magnesium
than the male hormones such as testosterone. The minerals impart certain energies to the hormones.
Pairs. Calcium and magnesium are an important
male-female or straight and circular pair of elements and this is why they are given prominence on hair mineral analyses.
SODIUM
The motion
of sodium is more linear or straight-line. This would indicate that sodium is a more male element.
Sodium has to do with the adrenal glands, which are more male-oriented
glands associated with the fight-or-flight reaction. The concept of fight-or-run is more associated with male
energy, and with sodium and the adrenal glands. All this may seem a little abstract, but there is a system
to it and if one studies the system a hair mineral
analysis will begin to make more sense.
Sodium has a
much faster movement pattern than either calcium or magnesium. This is one reason Dr. Eck called it
the volatility element. Sodium has
such fast movement that it is used in the body to
disrupt or dissolve many other chemical compounds. The ability to dissolve things is a quality associated with
fast movement. It is used in our bodies extensively to keep the other minerals
of the body in solution so they do not harden up or form insoluble
compounds. When arthritis sets in,
one reason can be the formation of hard compounds from a lack of this softening
or dissolving male element.
POTASSIUM
Potassium is
more female element with a more circular type of
motion or movement. Potassium is
far more associated with the thyroid gland. This gland, while important for both men and women, is
somewhat more associated with women.
Women tend to have many more problems with thyroid disease, for example,
for various reasons. However,
iodine, selenium and other minerals associated with the thyroid gland are
slightly more female than male.
The hair potassium level, however, is affected
by the adrenal glands as well, but less so than the thyroid gland.
A radiating element. Potassium is also a fast moving
mineral, a potent solvent, and it is a radiating
mineral. This means it
radiates a strong energetic field.
I am told this will be discovered by scientists
some day. Potassium radiates a
clean, clear and obvious energy into the universe that helps human beings know
they are alive and well. This is
one reason why a very low potassium level on a hair mineral analysis indicates
a fatigue condition, although this aspect of energy is far more
subtle. It is also why vegetables are so important to eat, as they contain
plenty of potassium. Other foods
contain it, too, even some refined foods. However, the form in the vegetables
seems to function better in the body.
Potassium
also radiates a very clear and present danger energy
when things are not right. This is
its relation to sodium, which is the fight-or-run mineral. Thus potassium
and sodium are a pair, as are calcium and magnesium.
COPPER
Copper is
one of the most important of the female minerals for planet earth at this
time. Copper is discussed in
separate articles on this website such as Copper Toxicity Syndrome.
For the
purposes of this article, copper may be viewed as a
very tight circular mineral. This
means that its circular motion is in very small circles, relatively
speaking. I am now speaking on
subatomic levels. This peculiar
motion is enhancing female energy on the planet and spiritualizing the planet
very quickly at this time. Once
again, I know this is a vague concept, but copper has an interesting property
that it damages connective tissue, but in so doing can make way for the growth
of certain brain centers that replace the tissue that has
been destroyed.
Today,
copper is very prevalent in the bodies of the people and even the animals such
as dogs and cats. Over half, and
perhaps two-thirds of the hair mineral analyses we review indicate the presence
of much too much copper in the personÕs body. Most of it is in a biounavailable
form, but it still exerts an energy on the body that
is related to its movement pattern.
Copper
imbalance can contribute to many symptoms such as candida
albicans and other infections, mental imbalances and
afflictions such as exhaustion, depression and anxiety, connective tissue
problems, all female organ disorders such as PMS, uterine fibroids and ovarian
cysts, cardiovascular symptoms, cancers, spaciness,
brain fog, headaches, skin rashes, digestive upsets, liver diseases, brain
diseases such as epilepsy, and more.
These are among the most common disorders on the planet today.
Copper needs
to be studied much more by modern scientists and
nutritionists. I have written
about it for some 30 years, but I still find that most doctors and most
hospitals are completely unaware of its role in many modern illnesses.
ZINC
Zinc is a
moderate speed, very straight-moving element. It is also an inward-moving and downward-moving
element. This makes it very yang
in its effect. It is found in greatest quantity in meats and eggs, to some
degree, which are more yang foods.
Red meats are most yang and usually contain the
most zinc.
In fact,
zinc is one of the straightest-moving elements in existence. Perhaps this is one reason it is
associated with gentle strength, steadiness and emotional stability. Zinc is also a very balancing mineral
in the body, acting like an adaptogen in most instances. This means that it reduces that which is excessive and
boosts that which is deficient.
Few substances on earth can do this. A few herbs such as Rhodeola are
able to do this, and not too many other substances.
Modern elements. Zinc and copper are also more ÒmodernÓ
elements. This means their
importance is increasing in the modern world. Some elements are ÒolderÓ, meaning they were more important
in the past. Some elements such as
selenium and silicon are more Òfuture-orientedÓ because they will become more
important in the future. A book that describes some of the evolution of the minerals is
called The Promethean by Joseph Scogna, Jr.
Both zinc
and copper, and particularly zinc, are absolutely needed
today for nervous system development, growth and other vital body functions at
this time. This was less the case
many centuries ago, I believe.
Unfortunately, obtaining enough zinc today is almost impossible from
food alone. This is why all
nutritional balancing programs include some supplemental zinc.
Zinc and vegetarian diets. The most serious problem with
vegetarian diets is their low level of zinc in many cases. In the past, this was not so serious,
but it is very important today. I
always urge people to avoid vegetarian diets, a mistake I made myself some
years ago. Zinc supplements,
pumpkin seeds and vegetables often do not provide enough or the same quality of
zinc as is found in meats, eggs and a few dairy
products. It is one of the main
reasons I cannot ever endorse vegetarian, or even near-vegetarian diets. They tend to shorten oneÕs lifespan,
even if they ÒcureÓ various ailments.
The need for
zinc is particularly important for Westerners. Their food is seriously zinc deficient due to food refining,
and their high stress levels require more zinc. Their soils are also often more zinc deficient. This is why books such as the China Syndrome that compare the health
of Chinese peasants, for example, to that of Americans is
not a valid comparison. The
Westerners need more zinc for their health. In fact, the Chinese peasants often consume more zinc as
they eat better, but the Westerners require more for their brain development
and more mental and high-stress lifestyles.
Zinc and
copper form a pair of minerals that both antagonize each other and work
together. We find that they should usually be taken together as supplements, by the way.
CHROMIUM
This
important mineral has a primarily circular movement pattern. This means it is a more yin or ÔfemaleÕ
mineral that is concerned with blood sugar regulation, cholesterol metabolism
and other functions. It is not
nearly as yin as copper, however, and is needed in
larger quantity by almost everyone.
Many cases of diabetes could be avoided if it were
supplemented regularly by most people.
It tends to
decrease with age, a quality associated with all the vital minerals, but even
more so with the yin minerals because as a body ages, it becomes more yin and
the body may eliminate the more yin elements to try to keep it balanced. This may account for some of the
age-related diabetes, cataracts, vision problems, cholesterol problems and
others.
SELENIUM
This
interesting mineral is both yin and yang, depending upon its compounds. That is, its motion or movement pattern
can be straight or circular in nature depending upon which other minerals and
chemicals it is bound to. In this
regard, it is a far more complex mineral in its effects on the body.
Selenium is
essential for detoxification, for example, which is a more male or yang
activity. It is also essential for
thyroid activity, a more female or circular activity. It is also needed for cell
reproduction and many other functions.
Its movement pattern tends to depend upon its use in the body.

IMPLICATIONS
HEALING
AND MOVEMENT
The
concept of movement has more to do more with physics than with medicine. However, it is
directly related to healing in many ways.
Many people
are stuck in negative or slow-moving movement patterns because they are
ill. When they follow a complete
nutritional balancing program, their life opens up, movement speeds up, and
turn much more positive for them.
This is an
entire area of nutritional balancing science – how it affects creative
movement in people. One could say
that a goal of nutritional balancing is to restore healthy movement, and it
works!.
COUNSELING
BASED UPON MOVEMENT PATTERNS
Studying the
movement patterns found on hair mineral tests can also give health
practitioners extra insights into their clientÕs situations, even if the client
has little desire to talk about it, and even if the client is unaware of the
situation. In this way,
practitioners can greatly assist their clients to live better and make better
decisions.
SOCIETAL
IMPLICATIONS
Some
types of movement are more beneficial for a society than
others. For example,
voluntary movement that occurs in a capitalist society tends to be much
healthier than the movement that occurs in a socialist or communist
society. In the latter, the
individual is not given as much power or control. These societies often lead to idleness,
boredom, and often violence in the end.
People become wards of the state, which is also a negative type of
movement.
In
contrast, in a more libertarian and capitalist society, individual initiative,
innovation, inventiveness and individual creativity are rewarded. This gives rise to far greater movement on the part of the
souls of those in free market, capitalist societies.
This is an
important reason why capitalism has created much more wealth than any other
economic system, and why I favor it very much over top-down government control
that exists in socialistic and communistic societies, which also do not create
nearly as much wealth for their people.
