Sacred Kinesiology Basics - 2
 
Because applied kinesiology and muscle testing gives us a way to tap into the energy systems of the body it has provided us with a totally unique understanding of the nature of healing. It has been nothing less than a revolution.
 
Yet for all of its contributions there are some basic weaknesses with muscle testing or muscle "yanking" as I prefer to call it.
 
First of all, you have to ask someone to hold their arm up (or leg, or finger). Then they have to keep it up while you do all your testing. When you do test, or "yank", you only get one pass to access their energy state.
 
To deal with the very weak or young or possibly an animal, the kinesiologists came up with a indirect surrogate test . Some bypassed a direct test of the person's energy completely and use the muscle testing process as a kind dowsing mechanism.
 
Sometimes kinesiologists test their own muscles, usually the fingers. It is known as "self testing". Remember that these muscles are under our conscious control, so what happens when the chocoholic tests him or herself on their number one addiction? Kind of like letting the fox guard the chicken coop isn't it?
 
Ultimately the process of "yanking" a muscle is a limited way to access the body's energy....
