I didn’t plan to write a book; it just happened.
In fact, a mentor had suggested I should write one, and I said, “Absolutely no way! I’m not ready – I’ve got far too much on.”
And in the very next breath, out came, “Yes, I’m writing a book, and it will be called Becoming You.”
You could have knocked me over with a feather at that moment, because I had no idea what Becoming You was or what this book was going to be about.
A little while later, I was lying on the couch one Sunday afternoon when I started channelling poetry. It just started spilling through, so I grabbed my phone and began jotting down my thoughts. That poetry ultimately shaped the chapters of Becoming You.
Let’s go back to the beginning, though – the beginning of my journey.
My life hasn’t always been peaches and roses. After a traumatic time – my husband battled cancer and passed away when my children were just two and five – those years were incredibly difficult. I was simply functioning, doing what needed to be done to get through each day.
I touch on that in the book because I had lost myself, and it took a long time to come back to me.
Kinesiology was a big part of that journey. I began as a client, receiving kinesiology sessions when I was struggling with general anxiety disorder. The shift I experienced was so profound that I decided to learn and share this wonderful modality.
That decision to study kinesiology changed everything.
It opened the door not only to healing myself, but to meeting new people and an amazing mentor.
It has now been over 10 years, and I’ve grown incredibly in confidence – and as a person.
As a practitioner, I have also evolved. My intuition has well and truly kicked in. I didn’t plan for that one either! One minute I’m muscle testing, the next I’m intuitively getting the answers. I now use that to my advantage, and my clients receive this amazing blended healing session.
I have so many choices available in my healing toolbox – all of which I use to guide clients on their journey. It includes, amongst other things, kinesiology of course, hands-on energetic healing, my love of crystals, oracle card guidance, my healing vibrational essences, books, and sometimes even angels and spirit who pop in to deliver a message. I truly get so much joy seeing my client’s progress.
Back to my book though – Becoming You is like a personal, handy guardian to help guide you back home, heart and soul.
It’s written from my heart and contains a blend of soul and science. There are gentle reflections, heartfelt stories, and soul-nourishing practices that I’ve personally used. There are prompts, and plenty of space for journalling your thoughts too.
Oh – and did I mention there’s a little fun section at the back where I share my Alisonisms? Those cheeky one-liners I’m known for in clinic. They’re little reminders to laugh, reflect, and not take life too seriously while you’re on your healing journey.
Becoming You can be found locally via my website alisondunlopkinesiology.com.au, or worldwide and as an eBook on Amazon, Booktopia, Fishpond, and other online platforms.
However Becoming You finds you, may it remind you of your strength, your softness, and your capacity to become – fully, beautifully, and authentically you.
