The King Method (TKM®) was developed by Dr. Glenn King, after experiencing a major back injury that required surgery. After recovery from the surgery, he had an extended Grand Mal seizure, spending several days in the hospital. This was just the beginning of a very serious form of epilepsy that had developed. Being in a place of desperation to turn things around in his body, he began extensive study and already obtained degrees in different areas of nutrition, acupuncture, and later environmental health science and Naturopathy. He had researched some forms of eastern medicine that focused on how bioenergy movement in the body affects proper function or dysfunction, pointing towards "root cause." Through his search, and much prayer along the way, he developed TKM® and as a result, he's now free of seizures, and has been researching and developing what helped him and many thousands over several decades that has spread to a growing number of other countries.
So, what is TKM®?
In Dr. King's own words, "TKM® is a hands-on therapy that helps promote the body’s own natural healing and restoration by non-invasively influencing the bioelectromagnetic systems of the body to function properly once again... TKM® helps to define how the body works bioelectrically, and how it is recreated continuously, cell by cell... including how this process takes place energetically and how the body's systems interact physically, mentally, emotionally, and of course, energetically." This method is physics-based on how it works, and there's ongoing study availing much for people to receive now and learn how to begin helping themselves at home.
What does a session look like?
You, as the client, would lay on your back (fully clothed). The TKM® practitioner will check your pulses on each wrist (similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but uniquely different), then will do a hands-on sequence on you, based on what the pulses indicate (your current state). A sequence is a series of hand placements with each hand in a different area of the body, moving positions after holding lightly in place for a few minutes, until the sequence of steps is completed.
A more technical description: "TKM® does not "force" a response from the body. No pressure is used. Instead the practitioner lightly places his or her hands (finger pads) on two areas of the body at the same time. This concept is best illustrated by a circuit board: two areas of special conductivity must be connected in order to help enable proper function of the system. Simply, the body is like an intricate circuit board, and TKM® connects any two areas of conductivity to help enhance the body's bioenergy to produce proper functioning. The proper energetic activity results in the relief of tension and stress in the local area and overall. This interaction allows the bioelectromagnetic energy to properly circulate (increase conductivity) throughout the pathways, or circuitry of the body, as it was originally intended."
How many sessions are needed?
It depends on the severity of what's going on in the body. It also depends on the mindset of the person. It's more effective to do a series of sessions with your practitioner, as well as completing some usually simple "homework" between TKM® sessions. These may be at home simplified versions of the sequence that's applied in the session by the practitioner.
