Muscle Testing / Kinesiology
Muscle testing allows one to determine what makes the body strong and what
makes it weak via the strength or weakness of an indicator muscle.
With muscle testing, we can determine what supplements, substances, foods,
items etc. will be helpful for our body and what will make it weak. With
this information, we are empowered to make health decisions that are
effective for our unique body.
There are literally dozens of muscle testing methods that
have been developed since Dr. George Goodheart first developed applied
kinesiology in the 1960's. Some are complex methodologies that
use reflex or acupuncture points to help determine weaknesses in the body
while other methods are very simple and test for muscle weakness or strength
in the presence of various supplements, foods etc..
Muscle testing is not accepted in
mainstream medical circles yet but many health care practitioners use muscle
testing, including some medical doctor's, naturopathic doctor's, chiropractor's,
herbalists and others.
Muscle testing can either be done for you by another person
or you can
do it yourself using various methods.
Most often, when muscle testing is done for you, your arm is used as the
indicator muscle. The tester places their hand on one of your
shoulders while you extend your other arm straight out, perpendicular to
your body. A substance (supplement, food etc.) is placed in your free hand
and your arm is tested for weakness or strength. If you arm is weak
and will not stay up, then the substance is not good for you but if
the arm stays strong then the substance is good. For the basics of muscle
testing, please utilize some of the books you will find on the side panel.
This is not an exhaustive resource on all the methods available for muscle
testing. The information given here is provided to point out helpful
resources and give hints and tips for accurately testing yourself and
others.
There are many pitfalls to accuracy with muscle testing so if
you are new to muscle testing, I strongly recommend that you seek out
a competent professional until you are familiar with it from that
perspective. If doing it yourself, take the time to learn and practice before you rely on it
as an accurate tool.
Self-Testing methods:
There are several methods available for testing oneself.
You can use your fingers to create a circuit. With this method you can
ask yes/no questions or place substances in your lap to determine if they
are positive or negative for your body. Click here for a good
description of how to use this method:
Kinesiology: Self-Testing Steps
Kinesiology: Another Testing Method @ Perelandra
Following is another simple method that you can use to test
yourself:
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Either test
barefoot or in flat shoes (no high heels). Place the substance you are
testing in your hand. State: "This is good for my body." Become still, and
after a few moments your body will either be pulled forward or fall
backwards. If you feel yourself falling forward, the substance is positive
for your body, if you feel yourself going backward, it is negative.
Hints for Self-testing
It can be difficult to get accurate results when testing oneself.
During the course of observing and learning from the professionals along
with conducting my own research, I have found many methods that are effective
for improving the accuracy of self-testing. I hope these methods will be as helpful for you as
they have been for me. Above all, please remember to be patient with
yourself, it takes most people at least a year of practicing regularly
before they become proficient.
Pitfalls in muscle testing.
1. Having a preconceived notion of the outcome.
2. Having a strong desire for a particular outcome.
3. Emotional blocks (which among other things can cause a person to fear
getting an answer).
4. Asking questions that are too emotionally charged. There are some
questions that I will not ask using self-testing. You should have someone
else test you for these types of questions.
5. Problems with basic physical imbalances such as not being grounded and/or
not being electrical.
6. Wearing jewelry or being around electro-magnetic fields that disrupt your
body's electrical field.
7. Being sloppy with the formulation of questions.
8. Being distracted or not being focused during the testing.
Ways to improve results:
- Be emotionally and mentally prepared to accept the answers you receive,
even if you don't like them
- Focus on your intent to get the correct answer. Try to clear your mind of
any preconceived ideas of what the outcome will be. Think neutral.
- If you are having trouble testing substances, turn the labels away from
you
- Take off jewelry, watches and glasses with metal frames.
- Wear clean clothing,. If you are sick, clothes can become toxic within an
hour. Do not wear tight fitting or synthetic garments.
- Test away from any electrical equipment (T.V., computers, phones,
fluorescent lights etc.)
- Test in a quiet environment (turn off radio, T.V. noisy people or any
other distractions)
- Avoid testing when emotionally upset or too tired. (sometimes it cannot be
avoided)
- Have confidence in your ability. Do not test the same question over and
over.
- Formulate and state your questions in a short, simple and concise yes/no
format
- Focus and concentrate. Don't let your mind wander.
- No food or gum in the mouth.
- Always think positive, kind, loving thoughts. Negative emotions have
negative effects.
- Practice, Practice and more Practice.
- Check to be sure that you are clear for testing:
This can be tricky because if you aren't clear for testing, how can you rely
on testing?
After years of testing, I can generally tell when I'm not clear to test
myself. My fingers will be wobbly, I'll get inconsistent answers or by
my intuition. When that happens, I usually need the help of another
person who is familiar with muscle testing.
If you have no one to help, you may want to incorporate the use of a
pendulum because they can be a bit easier to get neutral results. With the
use of a pendulum, you can find a way to clear yourself for muscle testing.
If you decide to use a pendulum for this, you will need to train yourself
properly before you can use it effectively since the pendulum and muscle
testing are not the same thing. The pendulum is beyond the scope of this
article.
If you are stuck here and you don't have the use of a pendulum or another
person, try grounding
yourself to your birthplace, the cross
crawl or some emotional release techniques. Go through the tips
listed below and use your intuition to find a way to clear yourself.
If all of this fails, forget about testing for now and come back to it
later.
Are you grounded?
Ask the question, Am I grounded? If you are, go on to the next question., if
not go to the suggestions
for grounding and electrical problems.
Are you electrical?
Ask: Am I electrical? If you are, go on to the next question., if not go to
the suggestions
for grounding and electrical problems.
Are you emotionally cleared?
Ask the question, Am I emotionally clear for testing (then state whatever
the purpose of the test is).
If you are not then do an emotional clearing.
If you test positive for any of the items above, or if you find that you are
not getting accurate test results, you will need to fix the problem. Before proceeding to the
suggestions on how to clear the problem, stimulate your immune system by
brushing downward several times with three fingers (index, middle and 3rd
fingers) on the area between the collarbones above the breast (thymus). Then
put water on your wrists and the palms of your hands to enhance electrical
conductivity. This will help you to get more accurate test results while
trying to clear your problem. It is very difficult to get accurate results
when you are not electrical, grounded or are emotionally blocked. You may
need to do this several times while trying to clear these problems.
After you do one of the suggestions for fixing the problem, test again to
see if the problem is cleared. Keep testing and doing the
suggestions until none of them test positive. When you get a clear on all of
the questions above, then you are ready to test yourself. If you are unable
to clear the problems on your own, then you need to have someone else test
you and help you clear them.
Suggestions for fixing grounding and/or electrical problems
Ask: Do I need to:
Drink water?
If yes, how much?
Take any flower essences?
Flower essences help to restore the electrical system and nervous system.
Test and take whatever you need. Sometimes I have to go into the store and
test while I am there
to find what I need. There are many brands and types.
Mostly Bach listed here
Flower Essence Society: research,
education, networking for mind-body health
Take any supplements?
Test and take whatever tests positive. Hint: For some reason RNA (Ribonucleic
Acid) is often
very effective in helping to restore electrical balance. RNA is protein. You
can buy this at some
health food stores.
RNA & DNA
Ground myself to my birthplace?
Stand facing the direction (West, North, South or East) of your birthplace,
take a slow deep breath.. Turn clockwise until you are facing the next
direction (for example, if you are facing North then turn clockwise until
you are facing East, take another deep breath, keep going clockwise and stop
in each direction and take a deep breath. When you have stopped and taken a
deep breath at each direction (4 breaths), reverse direction and do the same
procedure until you are facing the direction of your birthplace again. You
are done.
Do the cross crawl?
This exercise is also called re-patterning and is used to balance the left
and right brain hemispheres.
The exercise was first developed in the 1960's by a Dr. Doman and Delacato
to help brain damaged children.
Do for around 1 minute:
March in place, lifting the knees high and at the same time touch the knees
with the opposite elbow.
If you are right handed look up and to the left as you are doing this
exercise, if you are left handed, look up and to the right. If you find it
hard to look in a particular direction while doing the exercise
then count or hum while doing the exercise.
Wear a diode?
Cook's Classic Diodes
The Diode is a solid-state composite of natural elements. It is molded into
different
forms and shapes to be worn on the body or placed on devices that emit
electromagnetic radiation. The
Diode corrects or filters the energies flowing into the human body so as to
bring increased harmony to
the body's electrical system. The first time I wore one I felt like my body
was being pulled down to
earth. I had been ungrounded for a long time. I rarely need to wear one
anymore but I always use an equipment diode on my computer.
Need an emotional clearing?
Sometimes you can have a problem with grounding or electrical balance which
can be caused by an
emotional block. Go to Suggestions for clearing emotional blocks.
Suggestions For Clearing Emotional Blocks.
General Emotional Clearing
When I do an emotional clearing I use a book called
Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K. Truman. In Chapter 17 she lists negative feelings and
their opposites. I muscle test for any negative feelings by asking the
question: What feelings are causing me to be emotionally blocked in regards
to (then state whatever it is that you are blocked about like .. What
feelings are causing me to be emotionally blocked in regards to testing
myself?). Write down all of the feelings that test positive. Go all the way
through the alphabet of feelings and then start with the A's again. Keep
testing until you test negative all the way through the alphabet. Once you
have tested negative all the way through the alphabet you are ready to start
clearing. Start with the first feeling on your list and clear the feelings
one at a time, in order. Visualize the feeling leaving your body. As the
feeling leaves, you may notice the color or shape of it and what part of the
body it is coming from. This can lead to some insights that can be very
useful. Once the feeling is gone then read the opposite of the feeling from
the book and visualize infusing those feelings into your body. Go through
all of the feelings on your list this way. Once you have completed the list,
notice any changes in the way you are feeling. I often feel much better
after doing an emotional clearing or will notice a change in perception over
the next few days or weeks.
Emotional Stress Release (ESR)
developed by Dr. Goodheart
Another useful tool for emotional clearing is ESR. With ESR you must know
what situation is causing an imbalance. One way to determine which situation
is by writing down anything that you feel may be causing the problem and
muscle test each one. Be very precise in your questions. It helps to write
them down prior to testing.
This can be used to change a persons perception of a stressful situation and
thereby clear emotional imbalances. Use it to deal with stress from the
past, present or anticipated future stress.
Benefits
1. Relaxes the body
2. The person no longer feels affected by the stressful situation.
3. New solutions may emerge from the creative part of the brain.
4. Sometimes hidden emotions come to the surface and are released which
frees held in stress.
How to do ESR
This involves holding two neuro-vascular (ESR) points and re-experiencing a
stressful situation. The ESR points are located on the small bumps on your
brow called fontal eminences. Holding these points enhances circulation to
the stomach and the frontal lobes of the brain in addition to relieving
stress. Initially, no pulse is felt while holding the points. Gradually,
after a minute or two, erratic pulses may be felt on both sides. Eventually,
in anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes, the points become synchronized and steady.
When this happens, there is a profound change in the person’s physiology.
The whole body relaxes, the breathing slows down and deepens and the person
no longer feels affected by the stressful situation. The person holding the
points for you does not even need to know what the stressful situation is
which makes this a great non-invasive method of offering help.
The ESR points
Located on the small bumps on your brow called fontal eminences. They are
found halfway between the midline of your eyebrows and the hairline.
Emotional finger mode
Bring together the pad of the thumb and the ring finger. Do this on both
hands and then place
the index and middle fingers of both hands on the ESR points.
Basic ESR
Involves you or a second person holding your ESR points very lightly while
you re-experience a stressful situation.
1. Close your eyes and place your fingertips over the ESR points. (You may
use the emotional finger
mode or not as you wish)
2. Think about the situation or issue that is troubling you. Experience it
as fully as possible by being
aware of what and who you see, hear, feel, and even taste and smell.
3. Keep re-running the scene through in your mind. After a while you will
actually find it difficult to
focus on it. When this happens, open your eyes, think again about the
situation and be aware of
how you feel about it now.
Advanced ESR
Advanced ESR is interchangeable with Basic ESR and can be used at any time.
Advanced ESR incorporates the emotional finger mode and eye rotations
adapted from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) by Dr. Wayne Topping and
used in Biokenesiology. When we move our eyes into different positions we
access information from different parts of the brain, such as images and
memories. For example, when we look up we are accessing the part of the
brain where we visualize, or see pictures. Any stress triggered by eye
rotation can be released through the ESR technique.
1. Bring together the pads of the thumbs and the ring fingers of both hands
and place the ring and index
fingers of both hands on the ESR points above your brow.
2. Think about the stressful situation or issue and at the same time very
slowly rotate your eyes, first
in one direction and then in the other. First with your eyes closed and then
with them open. You
may wish to repeat this.
3. Now think of the situation again, notice how it seems to have changed.
Using ESR to change past memories
One way of changing your reaction to unhappy memories is to hold your ESR
points while you recall the event in as much detail as possible. When you
have done this, start to imagine how it could have been different and more
positive. What did you need at that time? What do you know now that you
didn’t know then? Who (possibly including God) could have helped you? What
would you like to have done, or not
to have done? Create a new version of the happening, incorporating all of
the resources that you can
think of that would have made it better for you. In doing this you are
creating another way of perceiving the experience and creating helpful inner
resources for yourself.
You can now ask yourself if those resources would be helpful in dealing with
any present situation. Think of a similar situation that might cause you
stress in the future, and construct it in your mind including all
of the resources you now have for dealing with it. Test it out by making any
changes in the scenario that would improve your performance. Repeat this
several times.
You are now prepared to deal with this future event more effectively than
you were before.
