Exploring the Secrets of Muscle Testing for an Enhanced Mind-Body Connection

Have you ever wondered if your body doesn’t like certain foods, fragrances, makeup, hygiene products, or chemicals?

Muscle testing can help you find out what your body likes and dislikes. It involves placing an object in your hand or near your heart and then assessing your muscles for their strengths or weaknesses.

If your muscles are strong, the item you are testing for is positive, meaning your body likes it. If it’s weak, that’s a sign that it doesn’t. But before you do any object testing, you should get a baseline.

There are a couple of ways you can do this:

Say, “My name is __________.  Use the name you always go by. (If your birth name is Charles, but you go by CJ, use CJ.) Hold your arm straight to your side and try to keep your arm up as best as you can, while pushing down on it with the other arm. Then say, "My name is (use a different name)", hold out your arm again, and push down on it with the other arm, and notice the difference between the two. When you are speaking your name, your arm should be rock solid. When you say a different name, your arm will be very weak or collapse.

Another way to try this is to close your eyes. Say, “My name is (enter different name here). Does your body lean back when you say this? Try again, saying your correct name. Your body should lean forward.

Now, let’s try muscle testing for objects, such as food, beverages, hygiene products (including soaps, makeup, lotions, detergents, cleaning products, etc.), clothing/fabrics, crystals, divination or tarot cards, small appliances, or tchotchkes (aka chachkies)?

Put the item in your hand while holding out your arm straight, and try to hold your arm up as best as you can, while pushing down on it with the other arm. If your body likes the item, it will remain strong. If it doesn’t, your arm goes weak or collapses. There are times when it isn’t rock solid, but not weak; that’s your body’s way of saying, “meh.”

Alternatively, you can place an object near your heart and close your eyes to see if your body leans towards the object (which is positive) or away from it (negative). Sometimes, your body just stays stationary. That means it doesn’t care one way or the other.

If the object is not available or too big to hold, you can use a picture or create an image in your mind’s eye. Then test as normal.

I have been surprised many times by the results. Some of my favorite foods and beverages have gotten such a negative response that I’ve had to take a step back in order not to fall. Meaning DO EAT THIS, EVER! The plus is that when I cut them out of my diet, I felt so much better, had more energy, and with one drink, my eczema cleared up. I also use this when I'm looking at crystals to wear. I look for ones that my body says, "That's a definite YES."

People have asked me if they can try muscle testing for ideas or for validation of what they’re sensing from their Spirit Guide. Yes, you can. Is so-and-so good or toxic for me? Yep, it works for those kinds of requests, too. Should I take job A or job B?

Have fun with this! Your Spirit Guide is trying hard to help you. This is another tool to tap into their help and advice. I hope you use muscle testing in your life. It has made a world of difference in mine. It’s also saved me a lot of money on buying things that my body was like, meh, or um, that’s a NO.

Please share what has worked for you, supporting and cheering each other on. Note: The comments section is at the bottom of this page.

Anyone can do these things on their own, but sometimes we enjoy practicing with others like us.
