How does the muscle testing work? Muscle testing works as a natural part of YOUR instincts. As modern people, most of us are not very aware of a connection to our instincts. However, we do have them! Muscle Testing works because everything that is good for your human being makes all the muscles in your body strong, and everything that is not good for your human being makes all your muscles weak. Because of this, there are alot of different ways to test the strength of a muscle while asking a yes or no question of YOUR subconscious.

There are many videos on YouTube about how to learn muscle testing and the many methods of testing different muscles, mostly in the hands. You can learn the Sway Test in Dr. Bradley’s videos included above, or you can look for different method to try on YouTube.

Everyone can learn to muscle test because every human being has muscles and instincts. Muscle testing is a learning process where you learn to feel the difference between a strong muscle and weak muscle, as you ask questions of your subconscious, which is YOURSELF. It is not mysterious. It is not like a psychic power. Muscles are part of your body, a tangible thing. Muscle testing can be learned, and it can be quick and easy to learn, if you give it some attention. All skills grow in time, with practice!

I do suggest that you choose a muscle testing technique that is INSIDE your body and not OUTSIDE your body, like a pendulum. It is valuable to learn to FEEL your muscles when they are strong and weak and develop a relationship with your body’s own instincts and internal guidance system. For increased simplicity and accuracy, when you are first learning, just work with your own muscles inside your own body.

You can start by asking yourself simple yes and no questions, like “Would it be good for my body to eat this vegetable right now?”, and “Would it be good for my body to eat 5 pounds of sugar right now?”

How your instincts, intuition and subconscious work together.
When you get an answer from muscle testing that sparks the feeling of a question inside you, or when you get an inconsistent answer like 2 “No’s”, this means your instincts have alerted you to look for more information. Then your intuition is engaged to look around inside and you might find an open-ended question like who, when, why. You can muscle test each idea your intuition suggests, to find the answer that resonates most accurately with your brilliant subconscious.

About your free will and choice.
In my own healing journey I have practiced muscle testing for decades. I sometimes found myself feeling like my subconscious was literally GOD inside of me, or my HIGHER self, and I should be obedient to it because I wanted to get well so bad. However, this is not true! The subconscious is definitely smarter that my ordinary brain, but more like a computer than God. The proof of this, is that it has both positive and negative programming inside it! Definitely not God!!! Part of healing is to find the negative programming inside of us and use our free will and choice, to choose to replace it with positive programming. Sigh. Our To Do List for getting well sometimes seems to be growing larger day by day! The truth is, it never stops! We are always growing! Persevere! You will find the unraveling of your trapped energies intricate and fascinating!

If you get wrong answers to obvious questions, here are a few tips:
✦ Make sure you are fully hydrated……that is the most common reason muscle testing doesn’t work.
✦ Additional Electrolytes also help because they are electrically charged and quickly energize the cells in your body.
✦ If you really want a particular answer to your question, it is totally possible to lie to yourself. Just be aware of this.
✦ If you are distracted and not focusing, that also will greatly hinder accuracy.
✦ A big factor for me is that, for instance, coffee is very good for my brain, but very harmful for my heart and stomach. So holding the food being tested near those different parts of my body gets different answers. Coffee is currently an addiction for me, and sick or unbalanced, parts of ourselves can interfere with accuracy. As we get more balanced, accuracy naturally increases.
✦ If you get a wrong or inconsistent answer, you can ask your intuition WHY and muscle test possible reasons. Investigate!
✦ You can ask your subconscious to find the trapped energies that will increase the accuracy of your muscle testing. You can do this on a regular basis as you learn and grow in this skill.
✦ If you don’t believe you can learn to muscle test, you can ask your subconscious to find the trapped energies that will increase your ability to believe you CAN learn to muscle test.
✦ Allow yourself to be imperfect, since it is unavoidable, and keep going and getting better, and better, and better in all ways!
