Muscle Testing

Have you ever heard of muscle testing? It comes from kinesiology, which is the study of movement in the human body. Muscle testing, in a nutshell, bypasses the small brain and accesses knowledge in the body. You say a simple statement followed by one of many possible exercises to see if you remain strong or go weak. A strong response means yes, while a weak response means no.

This approach is frequently used to test for allergies by having a person think of a particular substance, ie pollen, and then test their strength – a weak response means allergic…

I learned about muscle testing from the book, Power vs. Force by David Hawkins. My daughter, Anna and I use it for all kinds of silly things – what we should eat, where we should go, etc. Well yesterday it came in handy for something more serious.

Two nights ago Anna started feeling like she was getting a cold, this was followed by a fever. The next day she stayed home from school. Her dad and I talked and agreed that there was no need for her to go to the doctor for a flu bug or cold that just needed time to heal.

Something told me to do a muscle test for strep throat, which came out positive – I asked Anna to test herself, and it was positive for her too. Even though she has never had strep, I immediately called the doctor and made an appt.

Turns out she had a bad case of strep and as the day went on she was getting sicker and sicker. Luckily, she was able to start a course of antibiotics, and this morning her fever is already gone and she’s much more herself:)

If you’re interested in learning more about this simple and powerful technique, I would highly recommend reading Power vs. Force. There is also abundant information on the Internet, such as how to do a muscle test on yourself.

Have fun!
