Ask your body what it wants.

You have an innate intelligence within you, inside you and ‘It knows you’!

                        “…your cellular structure knows all about it, wouldn’t you think? Every cell knows what’s going on. So you have then a subconscious system that is working these things. Perhaps for months there has been a battle every day within your cells, yet you walk around having no idea. So a system exists that takes the innate knowledge of what is going on in your cellular structure and communicates it to you. It’s out of the intellectual loop (very difficult to believe for logical thinkers) and it is called Kinesiology.” ….. Kryon

We have encouraged you to talk to your DNA, to get your body regenerating itself and to tap into your divinity, broadening your understanding of yourself, the world and even the universe. Your DNA is listening! Now we would like to shed some light on a way your DNA talks to you. A way you can listen to your body’s guidance in an easily understandable physical way. We are talking about Applied Kinesiology.

 “Enlightened love is the universal medicine”, Manly P. Hall

Kinesiology is described as a scientific study of human movement. The term ‘Applied Kinesiology’ describes the practice of accessing the body awareness of imbalances through Manual Muscle Testing.   Discovered in 1964 by George J. Goodheart, a chiropractor who found muscle testing could be used to obtain information from the body. He began teaching his technique to other chiropractor; today Applied Kinesiology has now been embraced as a natural health therapy used by not only chiropractors but naturopaths, medical doctors, dentists, nutritionists, physical therapists, massage therapists and nurse practitioners.

Based on the premise that the body has the innate ability to heal itself! Muscle testing is the tool used to get feedback.

It wasn’t until Dr. John F Thie, after spending much time in the study of applied kinesiology systemized kinesiology and began teaching lay people that the movement took off.  Believing that many of the methods of applied kinesiology could be taught and practiced as a method of self-care for all people, Dr. Thie authored the book ‘Touch for Health’ in 1973. Touch for Health has now become a major movement in holistic health.

According to many ancient as well as modern belief systems; healthy energy flows through the meridians in a balanced way. This balance is easily disrupted through factors such as stress, emotions, poor diet and spiritual neglect. The symptoms of illness are believed to be caused by blockages of energy flow through these channels. Ill health is thought to be associated with imbalances or blockages in the energy flow through the body. With the use of applied kinesiology it is believed these blockages can be found and appropriate treatment discovered. Since its inception many disciplines of kinesiology have been founded and are being practiced throughout the world.

There are no side effects to applied kinesiology and muscle testing. So why not give it a try and see what your body tells you. It is a technique that requires a belief and trust in ones innate abilities which many individuals have found extremely helpful in their quest for well-being. Remember to have fun with this! Try it out at your next gathering. See if some people are more susceptible to this process. It’s not a lie detector but you can have fun with it and muscle testing will provide stimulating conversation. It’s all about having fun in our everyday life!

The following is a description of the kinesiology muscle testing basic technique as explained by John Diamond, M.D.

Perform the following test with a friend or family member as subject.

  1. Have the subject stand erect, right arm relaxed at his side, left arm held out parallel to the floor with elbow straight.
  2. Face the subject and place your left hand on his right shoulder to steady him. Then place your right hand on the subjects extended arm just above the wrist.
  3. Tell the subject you are going to push his arm down as he resists with all his strength.
  4. Now push down on his arm quickly and firmly. The idea is to push just hard enough to test the spring and bounce in the arm, not so hard that the muscle becomes fatigued. It is not a question of who is stronger, but of whether the muscle can lock the shoulder joint against the push.
  5. Was the subject able to resist the pressure? In nearly every case he will; his arm will remain extended.
  6. Now have the subject hold something unpleasant or think of an unpleasant situation. The results will be dramatic. In nearly every case the subject will be unable to resist the pressure. His arm will go down easily.

Self testing is also commonly used by individuals performing applied kinesiology and can be done is various ways.

  1. Touch your middle finger to your thumb making a ring with each hand, linked together through each other.
  2. Pull your right hand away from your left, but don’t allow them to separate.
  3. Repeat while holding an unpleasant item or thought. You should feel less resistance.

Another form of self testing can be achieved with the use of a pendulum, while holding a weight suspended from a pivot allowing it to swing in predetermined directions indicating a positive or negative response.

              “What is going on with the process of the pendulum is simply ‘mini kinesiology’. It is literally the muscles of the finger, beyond your ability to control them, responding to a question that is about cellular structure. As you try to hold your fingers very still, the muscles move to give you a message – swinging the pendulum one way or another. It’s innate intelligence trying to go around your intellect through your muscles, and it works.”   …Kryon

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession and learn how to treat his illnesses by his own judgment” … Hippocrates

 Your Body Doesn’t Lie by John Diamond, M.D.   

This informative book on Behavioral Kinesiology will give you an overview on muscle testing and a detailed understanding of applications in which it can be used. In layman’s terms Dr. Diamond expands on familiar concepts which will not only reinvigorate your current state but actually aid in avoiding physical problems before they accrue, expanding your well-being. His suggested energy enriching techniques can easily be applied to your everyday life.

                “(Behavioral Kinesiology) BK is the first line of prevention. You examine your body at an energy level, long before physical problems develop. You look at your life-style, at the influences in your surroundings, at your attitudes in a new light, and with deeper respect. You find yourself doing things not to prevent disease but to increase your level of health. As Dr. Diamond says, the ultimate goal of BK is the achievement of Positive Health – the raising of energy, the excitement and the power that comes with true wellness. In this regard BK is a promise of the future.”

         …. Jerome Mittelman, D.D.S. Past President, International Academy of Preventative Medicine

Filled with current information, although published in 1989 this book holds its value, I give this book 4 thumbs up.

There are many different types of Kinesiology to be explored. We are not endorsing any one in particular but would encourage you to investigate for yourself or as always, follow your own intuitive knowing. Here are two examples of many available on the internet and what the practitioners have to say about it.
