What is muscle testing?
Let’s talk about muscle testing. It’s become increasingly popular over the last few years in the Alternative Medicine world and it’s the basis of everything I do. Many Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Osteopaths, and Bodyworkers utilize different systems of Applied Kinesiology in their practices to help their patients find relief, because it’s a very precise way to find root cause imbalance. Muscle testing IS Applied Kinesiology. These two descriptors can be used interchangeably. Before I go any further, I want to say that this form of medicine has changed my life. I am someone who has personally experienced severe and complicated chronic illness for many years, seen all the specialists and worked with all the expensive functional med docs, did all the detoxes and tried all the diets but still didn’t experience lasting change. I am not saying there was zero benefit to those things, I definitely learned a lot, but it wasn’t until I started working with my first Applied Kinesiologist 11 years ago that my body really started to heal.
Now for the fun part, let’s get science-y! Muscle testing is a way to “read” both what’s going physiologically and energetically with an individual; in essence, it measures frequency. Albert Einstein even said “The future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies”. The reality is that frequency is the basis of everything. This fact has become more mainstream, and almost trendy, but I will tell you, this is a truth rooted in science called Quantum Physics. Everything is made of energy (life force!) and that energy is constantly in motion. The speed of that motion is what we call frequency. Different frequencies cause energies to take various forms and manifest in different ways; both materially and non-locally. Quantum Physics can get very complicated to explain so I will use the analogy of a computers biofeedback system to give you an idea of how this works. Just as a computer repair technician plugs into the computers hardware to get a “read out” of any disconnects or imbalances in the system, an Applied Kinesiologist does the same; except our feedback comes from the way certain muscles respond to certain stimuli. I mean, it’s brilliant really! This is why so many people find relief and answers to their problems when they begin working with an Applied Kinesiologist.
I use two different systems of Applied Kinesiology in my practice, the first one I will describe is the Lebowtiz Protocol. The stimuli used to get a “read out” in the Lebowtiz protocol are small vials that contain the electromagnetic blueprint of various pathogens, heavy metals, parasites, hormones, foods, food toxins, and chemicals, in order to measure a persons sensitivity to that stimuli. So if I place a persons arms in the proper position to check the strength of the heart against a specific vial stimulus and the muscle tests weak, that tells me there is a sensitivity to that stimuli. I can then apply the proper therapeutic correction. In my practice, that correction is typically a combination of tapping on the three brains (head, heart, and gut) in order to initiate the bodies own healing response, and utilizing the herbs, homeopathics, or nutritional supplements that negate the frequency of the original stimuli. After applying that therapeutic correction, and I retest the the heart against the same stimuli, and the muscle test is now strong, I know the frequency of the heart has begun to change due to the therapeutic correction applied. This happens instantaneously, and conventional medicine (based in Newtonian physics, not Quantum physics) can’t explain it. The person on my table didn’t go to the gym or see a physical therapist in the five minutes they’re laying on my table. The change happened on the Quantum level.
Our bodies are beautiful, intricate, receptors of light and frequency. Can you ever sense it when a person is feeling animosity towards you? What about when you watch a scary movie and you’re left feeling like your soul needs to take a shower? Or you listen to a song that makes you cry but you didn’t even fully understand the words being said? The body knows more about itself than any doctor can tell you. Which is why I love Applied Kinesiology, it follows the bodies agenda, not the practitioners. It has given me the tools I needed to take my health into my own hands, and it’s been very empowering on a personal level. This is something we can all learn to do to support ourselves and our families, and I highly encourage it.
I also incorporate the BodyTalk System of Healthcare into my practice, this is simply another system of Applied Kinesiology. It provides me with the proper protocol needed to test the bodies sensitivity to various environmental stressors and emotional traumas. It provides a “read out” of endocrine, organ, and various body part function all the way down to the cellular level. It’s extremely thorough and doesn’t leave out the unseen aspects of who we are, which is why I feel it’s very important. There is a theory based in mathematics, physics, and chemistry called the Dynamic Systems theory. According to the Dynamic Systems Theory, each individual cell, organ, and body part rely on each other for their own individual functioning. They are not separate pieces, and they depend on the health of one another to function at 100%. This is where modern medicine has failed us. I am going to outline for you the 3 step scientific process that our modern medical system uses. It’s a mechanistic process based in Newtonian physics, not Quantum physics. Here it goes:
Reductionism: Reductionism says that if something is complex, we take it apart, focus on the pieces and understand how each individual piece works.
Determinism: Determinism says that if you know how each individual piece works, you can determine the outcome of the whole.
Overall: You come in sick, the doctor or specialist treats your PARTS (via surgery, manipulation, or chemical alternation/pharmaceuticals) and assumes that you will be well; assumes that now that the part is fixed, the WHOLE system will function like normal.
What imbalance caused that part to breakdown to begin with?
While this system has given us some of the most brilliant minds in medicine, and the most gifted specialists in the world; it does not truly heal or create lasting outcomes because we are not identical robotic machines. We all have unique individual histories, traumas, stress perceptions, and belief systems that influence our physical wellbeing and contribute to the symptoms we experience. Simply “repairing the part” does not do the job. This is why many people need to stay on certain medications for the rest of their lives, to “keep that part functioning”. But what about that part in relation to the whole? Where is the breakdown happening and why? The Body talk System protocol allows me as the practitioner to look at each person as a WHOLE. We don’t know how all of these different factors could be impacting your physical health without muscle testing and asking the body. Remember, this is led by the body’s agenda, not the Doctors. This is what we mean when we say the body is innately intelligent. This begins the healing process on a Quantum level and creates LASTING change.
Even if a person is not presenting with chronic pain, chronic illness, or mystery symptoms, Applied Kinesiology is still beneficial because it address breakdowns that happen on an energetic level before they manifest in the body as physical symptoms. I like to say that in the same way we allow life struggles and conflicts to empower our personal growth, we can allow our symptoms (no matter how small!) to bring awareness to what’s going on beneath the surface, and to what’s ready to shift. It's the ultimate form of preventative medicine and self-empowered healthcare.
