Muscle testing or Kinesiology

Kinesiology –human kinetics is the scientific study of human movement. There are several different types used today. The most mainstream is physical therapy; rehabilitation after surgery.

Muscle testing works along those same lines. The energy in your body is connected to your higher self (spirit or soul) and by using some of the techniques below, you can find out, much the same as the pendulum swings, just what you need to know for your highest good.
Some holistic practitioners can test for allergies much in this same way. The doctor tells you to stick out your arm and resist his pressure. It feels like he is trying to push your arm down after he has told you not to let him do it. If everything is healthy and balanced in your body, your arm remains rigid. If you are having some sort of illness within the body or the mind, you will resist but then your arm will slowly be unable to hold that rigidity. That is kinesiology testing.
Within the body and around it is an electrical grid. If something impacts this system that isn’t good for you (body or soul) your muscles (when pressure is applied) will have difficulty resisting this pressure; this electrical/muscular relationship is a natural part of the human system. It is not mystical or magical. Kinesiology is the established method for reading the body’s balance through the balance of the electrical system at any given moment.
How do you muscle test on your own? Very simply.

Be sure the amount of pressure holding the circuit fingers together is equal to the amount of your testing fingers pulling against them. Also, don’t use a pumping action in your test fingers when applying pressure to your circuit fingers. Use an equal, steady and continuous pressure. Slowly pulling at them.

How much your circuit fingers separate depends on you personally. Some people’s fingers separate a lot, other’s barely separate at all. Mine separate about a quarter of an inch. Some people’s fingers won’t separate at all, but they’ll definitely feel the fingers weaken when pressure is applied during a "no" answer. Give yourself time and let your personal style develop naturally.

Play around with different questions and get a feel for how your positive and negative responses look and feel.

The concept behind muscle testing is that what enhances us, mind, body and spirit, makes us strong. Together, our body, mind and soul create an environment that, when balanced, is strong and solid. If something enters that environment and challenges the balance, the environment is weakened. That strength or weakness first registers in the electrical system, and it can be discerned through the muscle-testing.

If you are having trouble feeling a positive and negative response in the circuit fingers, try switching hands; the circuit fingers become the test fingers and vice versa. Most people who are right-handed have this particular electrical circuitry that is used in kinesiology in their left hand. Left-handers generally have the circuitry in their right hand. But sometimes a right-hander has the circuitry in the right hand and a left-hander has it in the left hand. You may be one of those people. If you are ambidextrous, choose the circuit hand that gives you the clearest responses. Before deciding which to use, give yourself a couple of weeks of testing using one hand as the circuit hand to get a good feel for its responses before trying the other hand.

Sometimes there are people who don’t seem to have much luck with this. It most likely is that you’ve gotten frustrated. The problem isn’t the method but that they simply want so much for it to work that they tense up and block negative responses, thus creating false tests.

Remember to remain relaxed. Work on questions that you know the answers to for a few weeks. Keep playing and testing with it daily. The more you work on it, the stronger your responses and the more accurate you will be. Afterwards you can then ask questions you don’t know the answers to; trusting in your higher self and allowing your spirit to give you the answers that are best and for your highest good.
