Muscle Test
Many scientists disregarded muscle testing as pseudoscience. Muscle testing is not 100% effective, but it doesn’t need to be foolproof; it can be part of a well-rounded healthcare assessment.
Muscle testing is a way to test your physiological response to yes/no and true/false questions. It should not be considered a foolproof method for finding information but it can help you get in touch with your intuition. To do this, follow this process:
Choose a Joint: Muscle testing uses muscles and joints to create a lever. Any joint on the body, including the full upper body, can be used by hinging at the hip joint, the arm at the shoulder joint, or, my favorite, the pointer finger at the knuckle joint. The goal is to create a lever or fulcrum where the muscle can engage and disengage for testing.
Inform Your Nervous System: Explain these instructions to your nervous system: if the answer is yes/true/affirmative, ask the muscle to engage. If the answer is no/false/negative, ask the muscle to relax.
Prepare Your Body: Make sure you are hydrated; this can affect the accuracy of the test. Close your eyes and come into a place of stillness.
Ask A Question: Start with a simple question to test your system. Choose something easy and true, like: my name is __, or I am __ years old. Don’t direct the question to your thinking mind, but ask your body as if you genuinely believe it knows something you do not.
Apply Pressure: Once you feel your body embrace the question, gently apply pressure at the joint. Notice if your muscle engages or relaxes. Test both true and false statements until you feel confident in the answer you are receiving. If it feels like your mind is jumping in with what it wants, relax and try again. When it feels right, you will know.
Explore Your Intuition: Once you have established a clear communication pattern, you can ask any yes/no or true/false questions and receive your subconscious answers. Some questions I might ask are:
Should I cancel my plans? (y/n)
I am avoiding ______? (t/f)
This tool is not foolproof. If you use this tool to make decisions that could significantly impact your health, please follow up with a healthcare practitioner who can help facilitate your decision.
