Brain Formatting is the foundational workshop manual in the Neuroenergetic Kinesiology system and the first manual to introduce Acupressure Formatting-a precise method of combining acupoints and finger modes to access stress associated with specific anatomical structures and physiological functions.Originally developed as an introductory training in brain formatting, this manual provides practitioners and students with a practical framework for working with the nervous system through kinesiology. Acupressure Formatting draws upon the Chinese traditions of acupressure and meridian energy, together with finger modes derived from Indian mudras. Individual acupoints and finger modes act like musical notes; when combined, they form a "format chord" that represents a particular structure or function.The manual introduces the Treatment Triangle, which connects anatomy and physiology, psychology, and energetic structures. This model supports the practitioner in identifying and balancing the energetic imprint of stress with greater precision.Topics include: An introduction to brain and nervous-system anatomyThe principles of Acupressure FormattingFinger modes and formatting acupointsPause locking and sequential "jaw stacking"Indicator muscle procedures using the supraspinatus and teres majorFormats for the cerebral cortex and limbic systemBrainstem, diencephalon, midbrain, pons and medulla formatsSpinal cord and peripheral nerve formatsCerebellum and periaqueductal grey matter proceduresThe Bed Nucleus of the Stria TerminalisPrimary emotional physiology associated with the PAGThe heart's conduction system and the "heart brain"The enteric nervous systemClearly illustrated procedures show the required finger modes, acupoints and muscle-testing sequences, making the manual a practical reference for both workshop participation and later clinical review.Brain Formatting established a method that became central to the development of Neuroenergetic Kinesiology. By providing a systematic way to define neurological structures through energetic formatting, it created the foundation for the detailed brain, physiology, emotional and functional pathways developed in later NK workshop manuals.This manual is intended for educational and research purposes within kinesiology training. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
