BES Harmonization - Biocomputer Emotional-Spiritual Harmonization.  BES was the nickname given to Karin's original work.  It is now incorporated into (and simply called) Body Harmonization. Through communication with the physical body, Body Harmonization allows us to discover its waiting gifts of wisdom through conscious connection to the higher wisdom of the soul.  This gift is offered through the revealing, feeling, and ultimately healing of emotions. Self-Harmonization™ teaches empowerment, encourages personal growth for self-healing, and self-responsibility during difficult times in relationships and other aspects of living. It is a means for doing personal work and "walking the talk." Facilitating Harmonization™ provides a means of supporting others as they make their way on their healing journey towards conscious wholeness. 

Biocomputer Operating System™ (BOS™) is one of the foundation modalities in Body Harmonization.
"BOS or Biocomputer Operating System™ developed by Larry Steel and the late Dr. Harvey Steel, MSc, DC, is an innovative energy harmonizing technique that taps into the body’s inborn potential to heal itself. It journeys down a path of present and past factors that have affected your feeling of wellness today. The body prioritizes these factors so the practitioner offers a unique and personalized method for that individual. There are three overall basic components that affect a person’s state of well being. Spiritual, emotional and physical/ chemical. BOS™ addresses all of these in a non-invasive way. The premise underlying BOS is based upon three theories:

• The body has an inborn resistance to illness and disease and has the ability to heal itself.
  
• If energy blockages are present, the body’s inborn control system is not able to do its work in the normal manner.
  
• This technique helps clear the body’s energy blockages and assists the body to achieve wellness.

BOS™ does not treat symptoms or disease. Until recently, health was seen only in terms of being “disease free”. Yet this does not necessarily mean a body is functioning at its optimum level. BOS practitioners see it as a state in which the body and all of its systems are functioning as close to 100% as possible and it does this by opening energy blockages to allow healing to take place."  Source: www.steelhealthcentre.com >> Treatments

Valuable at all levels; BOS™ is especially effective in balancing the mental and physical energy fields using anatomical body points and filters as entry points, through extremely time-efficient and effective methods.

Body Harmonization™
a comprehensive and holistic approach in Spiritual Healing and Energy Medicine that uses muscle testing and flowcharts to access body wisdom to determine precursors of imbalances in body-mind-spirit, which interfere with conscious wholeness, healing, and empowerment. 

Balancing is quickly achieved using plucking and tapping with the fingers on specific locations on the body, breathing, guided imagery, and an original ‘nothing-to-take’  vibrational infusion method of using Raven Flower Essences™. 

Body Harmonization was developed from a synthesis of Karin's own BES (Biocomputer Emotional Spiritual) Harmonization™, Larry Steel’s bio™, and the guided imagery technique developed by Dr. Ann Nunley, the Inner Counselor Process™. 

BOS™ - Biocomputer Operating System™

Chakras - one of the major centres of spiritual power in the human body, reputed to be located along the spinal column.  [C19th century: from Sanskrit cakra wheel, circle]”1

Essences - Dilutions which are created by placing flower petals in water in sunshine to capture the essence of the flower. Andrea Mathieson writes on her website www.ravenessences.com , "Flower essences are electrical energy in a liquid and thus, very compatible healing agents for the human electrical system.  In addition, in their interaction with the sun, plants receive very large, universal energies, information and impulses.  Humans can access these larger patterns through the properties of flower essences." 

Spiritual healing  - is “the ability of the practitioner to attune through intuition, to the “forces of the divine,” to direct an energetic boost to the higher subtle energy field and physiological systems of the individual experiencing illness.” (Richard Gerber, Vibrational Medicine, Bear and Company, Rochester, Vermont 3^rd edition, 2001. 316)

Energy medicine - is a broad term that encompasses a variety of therapeutic modalities that attempt to heal illness and transform human consciousness by working with unseen multidimensional energetic patterns that guide the physical expressions of life. (Richard Gerber, Vibrational Medicine, Bear and Company, Rochester, Vermont 3^rd edition, 2001. 68-69)

Filters (BOS™) - Filters are vibrational representations of a particular frequency. They consist of a piece of homoeopathically prepared filter paper sealed between two pieces of clear plastic in a rubber ring.  (See above photo.)  Each filter is tested by practitioner placing it on the body of the client and pushing on the muscle.  If the muscle indicates a change in strength, then the frequency of the filter is involved is the energy balance.

Inner Counselor™
Inner Counselor Process was developed by Drs. Ann and Bob Nunley, as a guided imagery technique, which empowers the Self through accessing the symbolic wisdom of the higher mind to embody and express essential qualities (Strength, Control, Creativity, Freedom, Connection, Acceptance, Love, Trust, Joy, and Peace) that lead towards wholeness. www.innercounselor.com  

Kinesiology (Muscle Testing)
In 1964, George Goodheart observed that pushing on a muscle, an apparently healthy muscle would perceptibly weaken under certain stimuli.⁴  In BOS and BES Harmonization™, the facilitator asks questions, indicates reflex body points or tests filters, using muscle testing to determine what the point of entry into the body system is, and what the precursors or causes are indicated. 
In the book, Healing Research Volume II Consciousness Bioenergy and Healing Self-Healing and Energy Medicine for the 21st Century, Daniel J. Benor, M.D. writes, “ Applied Kinesiology is limited in its applications only by the inventiveness of the clinician and the client. It is helpful as a primary approach in exploring contributing factors for physical and psychological roots and toxic environmental factors that may be contributing to states of disease. It can suggest whether clients are ready for particular therapeutic approaches and remedies. It can sharpen the focus of affirmations or other therapeutic interventions with a query such as, “Is this the best focus for treatment at this time?” Common-sense cautions against false positives and negatives must be applied in intuitive work, as in any diagnostic system.”

Meridians - According to the 5,000 year-old Chinese tradition, meridians are energy channel which are connected to the organs in the body and which are connected to certain emotions. 1

Subtle Bodies - Often called the "aura," Kunz describes the subtle bodies which surround the human body as a "luminous cloud of color surrounding each of us which includes our feelings, our mind, our consciousness,"¹
