Muscle testing
QUESTION: Masters I am interested in hearing from you about muscle testing /applied kinesiology, such as the source(s) of the answers, what affects accuracy of the answers, and any other insight, information, suggestions, and/or warnings you will offer about this topic. ~Holly, USA
ANSWER: Muscle testing, in all its forms, is part of what a spiritual metaphysician calls divination, or discovery / communication between the physical and nonphysical aspects of the soul.
The term kinesiology, from the Greek for the study of movement, is not recognized by society in general as anything other than studying the body’s physiological, biomechanical, and psychological mechanisms of movement. Within the spiritual community, muscle testing uses the rigidity – or lack thereof – of various combinations (arms, fingers, body stability, etc.) of muscles in response to a question asked of the subject whose response is being observed.
What is important in the use of any muscle testing is that the subject is in a completely relaxed state. It is best if they try not to even listen to the questions because then they do not have an input into what they think the answer should be. The questions must be answerable with a yes or no response. Care must be taken so that each query is simple in nature and not compound in construction. A question such as “Is your name Mary Smith?” is fine; however a question that asks “Are you Mary Smith, the biological daughter of Arthur Smith?” is not.
The actions of the body, in reply to the questions asked, come from the unconsciousness of the subject. Each person has a consciousness to which they have complete access and an unconscious composed of their higher self or soul. It is the soul who is being addressed by the questioner. If allowed to answer without participation by the person’s consciousness, the answer is always truthful and accurate.
It is imperative that both parties are addressing the unconsciousness and not asking any spirit, discarnate or not, to be a part of the study. Before the testing begins, safeguards are important. Tell the universe that you wish only the higher self of the individual to respond to the questions. Personal guides will sometimes assist the soul with additional information, but the answer given is still the choice of the soul.
