| DEFINITION: |
Muscle testing is a means of communicating
with your own body. It is a valuable tool, a simple, safe method for
testing any food, medicine or substance, before eating it, taking it, or
washing with it, to see if it will weaken you. (or strengthen you)
Sensitivities to medicines can produce dangerous affects, and this testing
helps eliminate these risks. |
| EXAMPLES OF USES: |
I will talk here a little
about my own personal experience with muscle testing. I first
became familiar with muscle testing in about 1996. It was not used
on me, but I was quite impressed. (more on this later). When I
moved to Holland in 1998, I started seeing a homeopath who used muscle
testing in her practice. At the time, I was on about 10 different vitamin
pills, some of which I had chosen for myself and some which doctors had
recommended for me. My homeopath tested me for these vitamins after I had
been to her a few times. I had collected them all and taken them
with me in a bag. It turns out, I did not need any of them, as a
matter of fact, they all tested bad for me. I went off all the
vitamins (saved lots of money) and I am doing fine. I feel much
more balanced, a calm feeling. The vitamins are not giving me false
"highs" any more. I only take vitamins now when I have a
cold or a specific ailment that I "treat" temporarily.
Another example is the birth control
pill. I was never able to take them in my younger years and now due
to menopausal conditions test good for them. I take them with me on
a regular basis to be tested by my homeopath because of the risk
of stroke. I want to make sure when they no longer test strong,
I will no longer take them. This past week, I was tested for
taking aspirin as a means of stopping blood clots. I tested strong
for this at 250 mg and will take one daily. I will also have her
test me regularly on these. Another interesting thing I had
tested for me was a red coral ring I wear for vedic astrology to make my
mars stronger, and some necklaces for spiritual purposes. They all
tested strong.

| THERAPY: |
My first experience with
muscle testing was a means of therapy. It was used for a person in a
depressed state. The person had not many recollections of
their child hood and there were many blocks which needed to be worked
out. By using muscle testing the therapist would ask questions and
get yes and no answers, and put that all together as far as what happened
that the patient was blocking (not remembering). It seemed to
work and felt "right" to the person, but I am not sure about
this means of therapy. I guess it is a way of getting answers when
nothing else seems to work. |
| LEARNING TO TEST: |
I bought a book about 6
months ago about muscle testing, with instructions for a person to learn
how to do it themselves. It has lots of interesting things in the
book, case histories, personal stories and more. I do not
intend to push this book in particular, but it is a way to learn muscle
testing. I just happened to have bought this book. My
boyfriend and I started practicing right away. It is a lot of fun,
and at first we tested everything we ate, and how much of it we should
eat. It is easy to do and the only thing it takes is practice,
practice, and than some more practice. We are now at the point that
we can sometimes "feel" in our arm as we are holding the
object when it is bad for us. We are getting very good at it
but still use our homeopath for major testing as she has years of
experience on us. Our test results are however ending up with the
same answer as the hers. |
| CONSIDERATION: |
I know sometimes chiropractors
do muscle testing as part of their practice. If you have something
you would like tested, or numerous things, it may be worth while to call
them up and ask if he will do this for a fee. When you learn
muscle testing you take it with you where ever you go. You can test
in a grocery store, restaurant, where ever you are. Another good
thing to test is stones in rings, as they all have there own
"properties" and a particular stone may not be good for us. |
| HOW DOES IT WORK?: |
Eastern philosophy and
medicine describes a vast energy field surrounding us, viewed as a series
of meridians. If we short circuit one of these meridians the whole
energy flow weakens. So, if we hold an item in our energy field that
is bad for us, all the muscles in that meridian weaken. If an item
is good for us, the muscle stays strong. |
