I began the WisdomWell Workshop series by teaching a useful awareness tool called Applied Kinesiology, or Muscle Testing (I will refer to it as MT in the following text). I call it the “Truth Tool” and you will soon understand why. Read on, and learn how to put this tool to use in your own life:
The “Truth Tool”
I was first introduced to Muscle Testing (MT) several years ago in a PSYCH-K course I attended in Denver, Colorado, then again when I read Power vs. Force by Dr. David R. Hawkins. The method fascinated me because it offered proof that we know more than we realize at a conscious level. Through MT we can determine truth from falsehood. The wisdom within the walls of our bodies can discern between that which empowers us, and that which weakens us. It gives us an astonishingly simple and accurate tool for making decisions and discoveries, and determining what is in our best interests. I won’t go too deeply into the science of Kinesiology or MT here, but if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of this profound truth-telling tool, I recommend you read Power vs. Force, by Dr. David Hawkins, and Dr. John Diamond’s,Your Body Doesn’t Lie.
Dr. Hawkins points out in Power vs. Force:
MT is not a predictor of the future, but to be used to check historical or present stimuli.
MT consistently demonstrates that muscles go weak when exposed to harmful stimuli.
With therapeutic and high vibrational stimuli (ie: holding the thought of Mother Teresa) MT consistently tests strong.
Bodies respond appropriately to MT even when the conscious mind of the person being tested is unaware of the stimuli (statement being tested).
MT can be used to determine vibration levels. For more on vibration levels, refer also to Power vs. Force by Dr. Hawkins.
MT has proven to be a useful diagnostic tool for doctors to detect disease and determine a patients response to treatment, although it hasn’t yet caught on in mainstream medicine.
Read Dr. Hawkins’ and/or Dr. Diamond’s books mentioned above for discrepancies, limitations and disqualifications that could create false MT results.
You can do it
I recommend practicing with a partner. Some people have learned to do MT on themselves, however, I haven’t found it to be reliable. During MT be impersonal with one another; one option is to have the tested partner closes her eyes. I will refer to the person being tested upon as T, and the one conducting the test as C. Let’s begin:
Have T stand directly facing C.
Have T hold an arm out to the side, parallel with the ground.
Now C will place two or three fingers on T’s wrist.
Next, C will ask a YES or NO question as a TRUE or FALSE statement, which T will hold in her mind, repeating silently or aloud.
After making the statement, C will say to T, “Be Strong”, and will press firmly downward on T’s rigid arm.
If T is strengthened (true or +) by the statement, her arm will hold strong. If T is weakened (not true or -) by the statement, her arm will drop as she will naturally lose muscle strength. Please note, MT is not arm wrestling, so T should not fight to keep her arm strong, but normally and naturally resist C’s firm pressure, or not, as the case may be.
It is a good idea to test what your partner’s “strong” and “weak” response feels like before beginning. One way to do this is to have T make the true statement, “My name is (correct name)” and C will test it. Then T will make a false statement, “My name is (false name).” The correct or true name will hold strong. The false name will cause T’s muscles to weaken and her arm will drop under C’s pressure.
You may want to use MT to help you determine the strength of your work or goals. You may want to use it to check your own vibrational level around something or to determine if a food, relationship, project, object or event is strengthening or weakening you. If you get a weak response around something or someone, you don’t necessarily need to eliminate it from your life. In the case of relationships or work, in particular, you can use MT to determine what aspect of it is weakening you, and then MT to determine ways to strengthening it.
An Example: Recently, I have struggled with a sudden weight gain of five pounds. I checked questions around the issue and my body using true or false statements to determine if the weight gain was related to hormones or food. It was related to food. I checked to see if the weight was caused by carbohydrates in general, and the response was weak (no), so I became more specific. I checked if fruit was the problem, and that tested weak (no). I tested if bread was at issue and the response was strong (yes). From there I narrowed it down to gluten. I determined through the testing that I do need to cut carbs containing glutens, and that I can continue to eat fruit and vegetable carbs and gluten-free breads without concern. I clearly know that sugar is a saboteur of my wellbeing, so I didn’t bother checking that. Please note that I could have stated the “fruit” questions in one of two ways: “fruit contributes to my weight gain.” or “fruit is a healthy carb choice for attaining and maintaining my goal weight.” They would elicit two opposite responses, so pay careful attention to the way your questions are phrased and the resulting response.
Flex Your Muscle Testing
Now that you are somewhat familiar with MT, I invite you to try it for yourself:
Exercise A): Face your partner and think of someone you love or appreciate. It may be someone from history or someone currently in your life (I used Gandhi the first time I tested this exercise). Have your partner conduct the test on you as you hold this person in your thoughts. Did you test + or -? How did your body feel when you held this person in your thoughts?
Now think of someone whom you dislike or disrespect (I used Hitler when I tested this exercise). Did you test + or -? How did your body feel when you held this person in your thoughts?
Pay attention to how your body feels when you are experiencing a strengthening or weakening response. Creating awareness of the physical response you get from somethings that is strengthening or weakening may help you discern something when MT is not convenient. Your body knows. You simply need to pay attention to what it is trying to tell you.
Exercise B): Make the YES or NO statement to yourself, “I believe that I am worthy of living the life I desire.” Did you test + or – ? How did your body feel as you held this thought?
Have fun experimenting with MT. I have tested vitamins, the strength of my work, books, food, health and numerous personal statements. Please note that integrity, honesty and intention can certainly play into the accuracy of results, so please do not try to gather information from your testing partner without their consent.
