One of the powers of the Touch for Health energy kinesiology balancing protocol is that it can be practiced almost anywhere.

We, Earl and Gail Cook, began the Balancing the World effort April 27, 2006, in Centennial Olympic Park standing in front of the Fountain of Rings. The rings symbolize world unity and the fountain is a favorite of visitors to the park.

We encourage the Touch for Health global community to join us by conducting a TFH balance in front of natural or man-made landmarks around the world. Please email us these photos and we will include them in this on-going project. Details below.

We sincerely feel that TFH balances make the world a better to place to live for all.

Landmark "Generations"

We asked for, "A photo of a special landmark, natural or man-made and something special to you...and, use your imagination."

Ueli Meier-Estrada of Basel, Switzerland did each of these and sent this photo. Ueli's special 'landmark' was fatherhood! I think this fits for both 'natural' and 'man-made' and it definitely is a special 'landmark' in one's life. Very well done, Ueli.

Ueli says, "At the moment, I have only a picture with my special 'landmark'. It is my son Jan who was born after I got many balances from John Thie on being a father. So when I balance my son Jan, I remember always the balances with John Thie. And, this is very good energy..."

An Anterior Serratus salute to the new Georgia Aquarium! Located just across the street from the Centennial Olympic Park, the aquarium is currently the largest on Earth.

The ark-shaped aquarium is home to over 100,000 animals that live in 8 million gallons of water.

Maria Meinora went with two of her students to her favorite place: The Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands. It's a public museum of old houses and Dutch handcrafts and mills not so far away from her home.

Here, her students are testing the Pectoralis Major Clavicular. Notice how the test looks like the position of the arms of the mill in the background!

While attending the Energy Kinesiology Conference in Tampa, Florida, Californians Mat Thie and Adam Lehman traveled across the river for this balance in front of Plant Hall on the campus of the University of Tampa.

The 511-room Tampa Bay Hotel was built in 1891 by transportation magnate Henry Plant. The mixture of styles on the building include Victorian gingerbread with Moorish minarets, domes and cupolas.

Mat continues to travel the world and teach his Five Element Metaphors Class while Adam continues his work with the Kinesiology Awareness Council.

Balancing on Peachtree St. with Atlanta's High Museum of Art in the background.

Louvre Atlanta is an unprecedented partnership between the High Museum of Art and the Musée du Louvre in Paris that will brought hundreds of works of art from the Louvre’s collections to Atlanta. From October 2006 through 2009, the High presented a series of long-term special exhibitions of art from the Louvre built around specific themes and periods. The collaboration also included the exchange of cultural expertise, as well as educational programs, publications, symposia, and films exploring the exhibitions.

Louvre Atlanta Art History

Marion Hill of Cologne, Germany balances her son, Jeremie, with the majestic Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine River in the background.

The Cologne Cathedral is in the heart of the city literally and
metaphorically. It is the second highest Gothic structure in the world and stands on a flat hill that has been a place of worship since the beginning of the city's history. At one time, it was the tallest building in the world.

It is the home for the golden Shrine of the Three Magi (the Three Wise Men) and many other art treasures. In 1164 the bones of the three Magi were transferred from Milan to Cologne, and a shrine was made to house the relics. The foundation stone for the cathedral was laid on August 15th 1248 and construction was finally completed on the Cologne Cathedral 632 years later in 1880.

Today, the cathedral is surrounded by the life of the city and many Rhine River travelers stop to visit the city center and enjoy the beauty and history of the area, just as millions of people have done for many centuries.
