Our culture promotes thought over feeling, logic over intuition. At birth, we are governed by physical needs; a sign of maturity is to ignore the body. Or, learn to think of it as our vehicle.

We’re told to analyze and evaluate choices and discount things that cannot be “proven.” What are facts? Is it truth or advertising? What is actually good for you, or not?

The body is wise and knows what is true.

While the brain is definitely required equipment, it can interfere with listening to the body.  Most of us have “logically” ignored a gut impulse and have been sorry later. It’s always better to use all of your senses whenever possible.

Your body is a barometer that is attuned to the energy of everything. Feeling uncomfortable around people or places? Something doesn’t feel right? These are opportunities to take a second look.

Some things either energize or weaken. When your body connects to the energy of something, it is either strengthened or depleted in response. Muscle testing, or kinesiology, is a way to connect to the wisdom of the body to help you make better choices. There are many techniques, but the one I suggest describe is easy to do and understand.

This system is great for yes or no answers, and you can ask about anything. The body moves to indicate what is true or false,  the movement is the language.

Stand up and close your eyes. Ground. Center yourself. Breathe.

When you are completely present, ask out loud what the energy of No! feels like. Think of the energy of No! and allow your body to move. Usually you feel pulled in one direction or another.

Now think and feel the energy of Yes! Allow your body to move freely. Repeat these steps a couple of times.

Now repeat the process for clarity.

Next, pick up and hold various items. As you hold the object, concentrate on your question. Is this good for me? Will I enjoy this? Does this give me energy?

Try this with a favorite food and ask if it will give you energy and health. Is that supplement you are taking is good for you?

As you continue to practice, results begin to vary in intensity, nuances develop and answers come faster. Once you’ve mastered this, here’s another muscle testing technique to try. 

Caveats

Having problems getting a clear answer? Make sure you are focused, grounded and centered. You might be too attached to the question or to the answer you want, relax. There might be too much emotion around the question, release your fear. Or, you’re really not clear about what you want to know. Muddled results can also indicate that you need more information before deciding. Or, that there’s a another better option that hasn’t been revealed.

Try writing down your yes or no questions on paper. Fold them small and pick at random. Or ask a friend to ask the question for you. (I can provide this service as well. Contact me.)

Be smart. Nothing is infallible. As you continue to practice your muscle testing, you will find that your intuition becomes more accessible. The more you do this exercise, the stronger you get.
