Learn Muscle Testing aka Kinesiology
You're driving to work and traffic is kind of bad. Should you take the freeway or get off on a side road? You'd like to improve your health by taking supplements. You visit the local health food store and are overwhelmed by all the choices just for antioxidants. Which ones should you take? You've been offered a new job. On the surface it seems pretty good. What should you do, stay where you are or take the new job? All these questions and more can be answered by simply learning muscle testing. It's an amazing technique that can help you quickly cut through too much distraction and get to the heart of what's important for you (or for your family.) Read this lens and you'll be able to get started muscle testing your way to answers as well.
What Is Muscle Testing Anyway?
And how does that solve my problem of what to do?
You can use muscle testing in any situation requiring you to make a decision and which the mind is not capable of deciding. This can involve complex situations such as vitamins and supplements, driving directions, foods (if you've got allergies it can really help), and tons more things I'm not even thinking of right now!
For example....I'm going to muscle test whether I've said enough in this module, or if there's something else to say. One second....I got a "yes" I've said enough! (You can also use muscle testing to determine how to answer the "Duels" on Squidoo lenses!)
An Easy Two Handed Muscle Testing Method
Let's get started!
Here are two easy ways to muscle test that you can do by yourself.
- Form a circle with the thumb and forefinger of your nondominant hand.
- Squeeze the thumb and forefinger of your dominant hand together and insert into the circle.
- "Tell" your fingers to show you "yes." Using your dominant fingers open the circle of the nondominant hand. Notice what that feels like.
- Return to the normal position in #2. "Tell" your fingers to show you "no." Open the circle and notice how that felt.
- If this seemed easy, move on to "Muscle Testing Tips: Asking The Right Questions."
One Handed Muscle Testing
- Place the thumb and forefinger of your nondominant hand very lightly together.
- Tell your fingers to show you "yes." You'll notice an increase in pressure between your fingers as if there's a magnet pulling them together.
- Tell your fingers to show you "no." You'll stop feeling your fingers touching, even though they still touch.
This is a very subtle approach. Not everyone can do it. If these two methods don't work for you, then check out the YouTube video below which has two more methods and a slightly different approach to doing it. If one of these's methods did work, then move on to "Muscle Testing Tips: Asking The Right Questions" below.
Muscle Testing Methods
Getting a little frustrated? Sound out.
Which is easier?

One Handed
JodiFromFlorida says:
I always wondered how to muscle test myself. Thank you for the great information!
JuliaBusch says:
I use the one handed muscle testing, but rather than squeeze my fingers together, rotate them over each other, like i was trying to wad up an invisible piece of lint. To test: as I circle, I say yes, yes, yes....and my fingers continue moving. The second I say no... the fingers come to an abrupt halt.
I use this method when working over the phone releasing trapped emotions in people and pets. It makes it easy to talk and work. I also alternate hands. Sometimes the response is better on one hand than the other.
It was this method I used during Nikki's illness to remove his self-anger from 43 lives ago, the anger which created his squamous cell cancer in his nail beds in his last life and the canine osteosarcoma in this life.
Blessings,
Julia
Judy_Filarecki says:
Easier because it didn't require strength in either hand. Mine fluctuates due to arthritic problems.
Oliversbabycarecouk says:
i found one hand easier
Manikandan123 says:
Never knew much about kinesics but anyway one handed is easier.
Two Handed
B says:
Is there some reason why I can't do it? I try multiple different methods and ask super simple questions...like the the one above "show me yes", "show me no", "am I female", "am I male" etc etc...then it always feels the same. I can't tell any difference in the strength. Help?
infiniti99 says:
I have seen it done before but was young and dumb.Thank you for turning on the lights I now understand.
Cumberland says:
I've seen others use the two handed version and even tried it myself, but I did not know it was called muscle testing. I have heard of muscle testing.
miaponzo says:
I love kinesiology and use it often in my alternative practice.
BarbaraCasey says:
I've been taught to use the thumb and baby finger to create the "ring."
Accurate Muscle Testing
Muscle Testing Tips
- You can only ask ONE yes/no question for each muscle testing. Don't ask compound questions.
- To muscle test well, you are asking your mind to pay attention to your body. It's like learning a foreign language. If you are tired or sick, it will be hard to focus.
- Hydration is a must! If you aren't getting clear yes/no answers, drink a glass of water.
- If you are very emotionally attached to the answer, it will be hard to get a clear answer. Asking if you or a loved one has cancer, is not a good idea.
- Once you find a method, practice, practice, practice.
- Start simply so you can build up your confidence. If you are muscle testing whether to have pizza or a salad, and you don't get it right, then the world will keep spinning. Once your confidence is built up about the answers, you can take bigger risks.
- If you get neither a "yes" or a "no," you may be asking the wrong question. In the example above, I'm assuming I should be eating something. If I don't get a clear answer (and I'm rested and hydrated), I may reask the question to be: Is it time to eat something? or Does my body want to physically move first?

- What good is this method if you shouldn't ask "emotionally attached" questions such as "do I have cancer?" These types of questions are what I want answers to! Can I ask questions about love, relationships, future and expect accuracy?
