Muscle testing is a technique used to access the subconscious mind and get answers to questions about one's mental and physical well-being. It is based on the theory that a person will have a weak response to something that does not enhance their body's energy and a strong response to something beneficial. While it is not a medically recognised practice, self-muscle testing can be a way to uncover hidden beliefs and perceptions that may conflict with conscious desires. This introduction will explore the various methods of self-muscle testing, the importance of neutrality, and the types of questions that can be asked during this process.

What You'll Learn
Whole-body testing
To begin, stand with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart. Keep your knees loose and slightly bent, and relax your shoulders, drawing your shoulder blades down along your spine. Take a moment to focus on your breath and clear your head. Inhale slowly through the nose, then exhale slowly out of your mouth. Repeat for 5 to 10 breath cycles, or as long as it takes you to feel connected to your breath.
Once you're holding constant, opposing pressure, turn your attention to something you want to know the truth about. Create a question that can be answered with a yes or no, or make a straightforward, active statement that your body can either accept or reject. For example, if you want to know whether you should call your sister today, you could ask, "Should I call my sister today?" or say, "I am going to call my sister today." Specific, active statements may get the clearest response. For example, if you want to know whether you should exercise or rest, you might say, "I will run five miles today."
You can also use whole-body testing to test food items. Hold the food you want to test on your solar plexus (just below where the ribs meet in the middle). Bring your consciousness to being open to whatever information your whole-body system will show you. Keep your focus on your breath and your centre of gravity as you allow your energy fields to interact with the energy field of the food. Observe which way your body moves. If your energy cannot assimilate or metabolise the food, your whole energy system will fluctuate and become less energised.
Try the same test 2 or 3 times to check that you are reading the muscle strength and weakness accurately. The more consistent the body's response and your reading of it, the more sure you can be that the results are accurate.

Two-handed testing
Two-handed muscle testing is one of the three primary ways to self-muscle test, the other two being whole-body and one-handed testing. This method is more practical and discrete than whole-body testing.
To start, place your thumb to your index finger on your dominant hand. This will be the hand you will be consciously controlling. With your other hand, place your thumb to your ring finger. This will be the hand you will be testing your electrical response with. While learning, start by using practice questions. After you've asked the question, place the fingers that you've made a circle with (thumb and index finger on your dominant hand) into the loop you've created with the other hand (thumb to ring finger), and move the fingers on your dominant hand apart to see if the loop on the other hand stays closed or opens easily. It is important to ensure that the amount of pressure holding the circuit fingers together is equal to the amount of your testing fingers pressing against them.
You can also try another two-handed muscle testing technique. Bring your left thumb together with your left pointer finger, making an O shape. Put your right thumb and right pointer finger through the O of your left hand, bringing them together. Say out loud, "Show me a YES." Now pull on the two connecting O shapes. A YES response should stick together. Now say out loud, "Show me a NO." With a NO response, your fingers on your right hand should slip through the O on your left hand.
It is important to note that self-muscle testing is a way to find out what hidden beliefs and perceptions you are holding that may conflict with what you consciously want to believe. This subconscious information needs to be acknowledged so that you can use techniques to let it go and bring about the alignment of your beliefs with your true will and highest good.

One-handed testing
One-handed muscle testing is a simple way to receive guidance from your body's innate wisdom. Here is a step-by-step guide to performing a one-handed muscle test:
Technique One:
- Bring your left thumb together with your left pointer finger, making an O shape.
- Put your right thumb and right pointer finger through the O of your left hand, bringing them together.
- Say out loud, "Show me a YES."
- Pull on the two connecting O shapes. A YES response should result in the shapes sticking together.
- Now say out loud, "Show me a NO."
- Pull on the two connecting O shapes again. This time, with a NO response, your fingers of your right hand should slip through the O on your left hand.
Technique Two:
- If you are right-handed, place the middle finger of your right hand on top of the pointer finger of your right hand. If you are left-handed, do the same with your left hand.
- Say out loud, "Show me a YES."
- Keep your pointer finger straight and try to push your middle finger down on top of the pointer finger. A YES response will result in your middle finger pressing down on your pointer finger with ease.
- Now say out loud, "Show me a NO."
- Again, try to push your middle finger down on your pointer finger. This time, with a NO response, your middle finger will not be able to press down on the pointer finger.
Technique Three:
- This technique is similar to Technique Two but with a slight variation.
- Cross your middle finger over your pointer finger on your dominant hand, making an X shape.
- Say out loud, "Show me a YES."
- A YES response will result in the X shape sticking together.
- Now say out loud, "Show me a NO."
- With a NO response, your middle finger will slide off your pointer finger.
Technique Four:
- Snap your fingers.
- Say out loud, "Show me a YES."
- With a YES response, the sound of your fingers snapping should stay the same.
- Now say out loud, "Show me a NO."
- With a NO response, the volume of your fingers snapping should decrease, becoming quieter.
It is important to note that muscle testing involves accessing your subconscious thinking and is influenced by your intent and energy. To ensure accurate results, maintain neutrality and objectivity by desiring only the truth without attachment to a particular outcome. Additionally, it is recommended to start with questions of least impact and gradually increase the complexity as you become more comfortable with the technique.

Asking the right questions
When starting out, it is recommended to ask yourself questions with answers you already know, such as "My name is [your name]." This helps you understand your body's responses better. As you gain experience, you can move on to more complex questions. However, it is essential to phrase these questions in a way that eliminates personal bias or preconceived notions about the answers. For example, when testing a supplement, ask, "This supplement does not trigger unpleasant symptoms" instead of a more emotionally charged question.
Muscle testing is often used to uncover hidden beliefs and perceptions that may conflict with your conscious desires. For instance, you can ask, "Do I believe I only deserve good things?" or "Do I believe I am completely lovable?" If you receive an unexpected "no," ask again to confirm. Remember, the goal is to access your subconscious thinking, not to predict the future.
Additionally, muscle testing requires practice and a centred and still mind. Techniques like meditation and deep breathing can help prepare your mind for testing. Staying hydrated and eating a clean diet can also contribute to a more conducive environment for accurate answers.

Interpreting results
The most common method of evaluating muscle strength is the Oxford Scale, which grades a patient's strength on a scale of 0 to 5. The higher the grade, the stronger the muscle. Grades below 3 indicate muscle weakness. Dynamometry is a more precise method that involves measuring the force a muscle can exert. This can be done with specialised equipment such as a handgrip ergometer or a dynamometer.
Electrodiagnostic studies, such as electromyography (EMG), can also be used to evaluate muscle strength and identify muscle disorders and nerve damage. In EMG tests, muscle activity refers to the electrical signals generated during muscle movement. The stronger the muscle contraction, the greater the electrical activity. A healthy muscle will not show electrical activity during rest and will only indicate electrical activity when it contracts. Abnormal electrical activity during rest may indicate inflammation, muscle disease, or nerve issues.
When interpreting the results of muscle testing, it is important to consider the context of the patient's history and physical examination. Different techniques, such as whole-body, two-handed, or one-handed muscle testing, may also be used to improve the accuracy of the results. Additionally, the specific muscles tested may vary depending on the patient's symptoms and the nerve roots being assessed.
It is important to note that muscle testing should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and not as a standalone test. The results of muscle testing can provide valuable information about muscle strength and function, but further testing may be required to confirm a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
Muscle testing is a technique used to tap into your body's wisdom and find out what hidden beliefs and perceptions you hold that may conflict with your conscious desires.
There are three primary ways to self-muscle test: whole-body testing, two-handed testing, and one-handed testing. To start, stand up and relax, then ask your body to show you a "yes" and a "no". Unless your energy is scrambled, you will tilt slightly forward for "yes" and backward for "no".
You can ask any question, but keep in mind that muscle testing accesses your subconscious thinking. For example, you can ask yourself, "Do I believe I only deserve good things?" or "Do I believe I am completely lovable?".
Try to stay objective by not judging the responses you receive. Practice neutrality when asking questions, and ensure that you are communicating with your body's electrical system to determine what is in its best interest.
