Reaching
Out - Online June 2007 Dear Members and Friends, Despite our efforts at contacting all Ontario MPPS, the Minister of Health, and other Ministers, and networking with an active Health Coalition regarding our concerns on behalf of our Ontario members, it has just been learned that Bill 171 has passed Third Reading without any amendments to Section O, Kinesiology Act on May 31st. Following is some information from the Ministry's website regarding the passage of the Bill: May 31, 2007 For more info, see:
http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?locale=en&BillID=519 According to this new legislation, it is illegal to hold yourself out as a kinesiologist (or any derivative using the term 'kinesiologist') in Ontario, if you do not qualify to belong to the Ontario Kinesiology College - an organization set up to register university-trained kinesiologists. The fines can range up to $50,000. Please contact all the persons you know who practice Specialized Kinesiology, Educational Kinesiology, Health Kinesiology, Energy Kinesiology, etc. to pass this news along! It is our understanding you can still say you DO "Kinesiology" but you cannot say or advertise you ARE a "Kinesiologist". As more information become available, you will be notified by a further message through our email broadcast service. This situation will be discussed at the Annual General Meeting of CanASK, on June 7, 2007. Yours in Health,

Dear Touch For Health Friends,
Thank you all for carrying on in the Spirit of Touch for
Health in this time of grief about the passing of John. We
find strength in knowing that each of you carries forward the
legacy of John's life work, uniquely sharing your truth in your
lives and touching for health. We hope you will feel the
Encouraging Spirit toward a New Wave of Touch For Health
Growth throughout the world of which Dr. Thie spoke during
his last days.
The Memorial Gathering for John was a glorious
commencement ceremony. He was, indeed, ready to go
Home. From near and far, over two hundred family and
friends came to honor him on a beautiful day at the little
seaside church in Malibu. Some of you who read this were
able to be there & so many of you were with us in spirit, and
we deeply appreciate your being with us.
We feel greatly gifted by all of you dear friends for your
prayers, letters, flowers, baskets and all of the lovely tokens
of love you showered on John during his illness and on us, his
family, in his passing.
Although there is deep sorrow in John's not being here
with us as he was for so many years, we are blessed with
the abundant resources he left for all in his wake. We have
effective ways to manage the human emotions we may
experience at such a time as this. Emotional Stress Release
(ESR), Goal Balances and so much more are literally at our
fingertips to assist one another. This is wonderous!
We are seeing a revitalized interest in Touch For
Health in the US and WORLDWIDE. The Touch For Health
Kinesiology Conference in South Carolina was amazing and
Arlene & Larry Green are to be commended for their
extraordinary work to make it so. It was impressive and
encouraging IN TERMS OF NUMBERS OF PEOPLE and the
positive energy felt. The New Complete Touch For Health
Book by Matthew and John Thie will be out soon and we feel
hopeful that it will REKINDLE the public's interest as a fine
learning, research and curiosity-raising tool that it has
been.
We feel confident that Touch For Health is facing a
strong New Wave not unlike a kind of populist movement it
was in the 70's when the Touch For Health Book was first
introduced.
Let us keep a positive focus on these New Beginnings -
We Thie's' will be doing just that - Love, Carrie Thie, Matthew
Thie and Family
