I was an unbeliever in muscle testing and kinesiology. After watching this and performing a question-and-response test on myself, (the finger technique), I had an AHA! moment....now I am a believer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now I can't stop asking questions and the results are 100% accurate...Absolutely WOW!
Hi Sarah Lynn! Thank you so much for your comment! I completely understand skepticism when it comes to muscle testing. I'm so glad the finger technique works and is so accurate for you! Have fun!!
@@arizonahealingalternatives I discovered this AHA moment 8 hours ago and I have been doing it all day long....lololol. Areas that I had confusion over have been clarified tremendously.
@@RealityIsADream Fantastic! That is great to hear!!
I’ve been going to a nutritionist for 2 years who uses muscle testing and it definitely works as far as supplements. But when I test myself I am able to hold strong no matter what. 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Patty! Thank you for your comment! Just to clarify, you said when you test yourself with supplements, you always get a strong response vs. being able to tell the difference between a strong and weak response i.e. yes or no response from the body?
@@arizonahealingalternatives Sorry I meant when I test myself for example about a belief about myself I don’t think I’m getting a truthful response because I try hard to keep the strength regardless if it’s a negative or positive belief. I’ve never tried testing supplements
@@pattyboucetta1897 Thank you for helping me understand the difficulties you are having. When I started testing people, it took about 6 months - 1 year before I felt comfortable with the accuracy of testing other people. Self testing is tricky because one can be biased as to the result desired, especially when testing your belief systems.
I encourage people to ask questions the body already knows like testing one's name and someone else's name to practice the strong or weak muscle response. Once you get feel for it, try visualizing yourself (almost outside yourself and is if you are someone else) and testing a belief system. For example, start with a belief you already know is true about yourself and see if it stays strong; then, try a belief system that you know you don't have and see if the muscle goes weak. If you are emotionally attached to the answer, it is very tricky.
I hope that helps! Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
This is helpful. I've had doctors and other healthcare practitioners use muscle testing on me since the late 80's, but I've always been skeptical, especially with self testing. With self testing, I was never satisfied that I was not receiving a result beyond what I knew to be true. I tried the arm technique expecting to get the same ambiguous results, but was surprised to get a more definite response. When I tried to trick the result by holding my interest on a distraction expecting the result would change, I continued to receive solid confirmation that my name is neither Bob, Joe, or Sue.
Hi True Stories-YT! Thank you so much for your comment! It's great to hear that you have been seeing practitioners (since the 80's) who do muscle testing. I always tell my patients that I want them to be skeptical as it helps rule out the placebo effect. I'm so glad the arm technique works for you! I wish you all the best with it!
Thank you! Very well articulated. In my experience this technique easily could and should be used for evaluating activities, people, places. Everything you interact with affect you in some way, just ask your body. 🙏❤️
Hi Eugene! Thank you for the lovely compliment! You are so right...muscle testing is used for a wide variety of reasons. Use it to your advantage!
Excellent ❤
Thank you for watching and for the lovely compliment😊!!
Thank you for the content
Thank you for the comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it😊!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
This is great and super helpful information! Thank you Heather! You are so good at this and have helped us immensely!!!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Theressa! It truly is an honor and a pleasure!
My Doctor used to do muscle testing quite a few years ago for food allergies and different medicines to see what would work best, I became convinced, did more research and found the book Power vs force by David Hawkins, a hard read but worth it
Hi Philip!
Thank you for your comment and information! Doing the muscle testing I learned (TBM) for all types of allergies is a huge part of what I do, and I put out a video explaining the procedure followed by one that showed a demonstration of it that came out during covid. I hope it was helpful for you!
It's so interesting that you mention Power vs. Force, since I just released a follow-up video: Muscle Testing Part 2, this past week, and mentioned that I was just at a conference where we talked about more muscle testing techniques and the book was mentioned as a must read😃.
Thank you so much for the recommendation; I definitely have to put that on my must read list!
can+t have both hands busy to use them also to hold the product
Great information, I texted my name, but couldn't get a clear response. It's not the first time. But... I will keep testing. 👍
Thank you for your feedback and comment! Definitely, keep practicing and try something else that you know to be true and false to get the hang of self-testing.
If you are using an arm (full or half) to test, you may notice just a slight difference between the yes and no i.e. in some cases you may get a bit of a give (weakness) but then it is called a "lock" you feel or strength even though it moved a little.
Good luck!
Wow
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I hold it to my chest, stomach sit up straight and notice if I lean front or back. Seems reliable
Hi!
Thank you so much for both comments you sent! You are correct that it is difficult to test supplements by yourself and hold them at the same time. I plan to make another follow-up video to this one that discusses the lean technique you are referring to (as well as other self testing techniques not in this original video) as I just learned it in a conference I went to a couple of weeks ago.
I show an alternative technique of testing while holding a supplement in the Elevate presentation: ruclips.net/video/D4Pws17_FNg/видео.html.
I know many people love the lean technique and find it very reliable and am glad it is working for you! Thank you again for the comment!
Nice video
Hi Katie! Thank you so much; I'm glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!!
Hey, great video btw. I was wondering how much practice it takes before you start to get accurate readings. I know it depends on the person and the method but just asking for a estimate. For example how long did it take you?
Thank you so much! What a great question!
In another video called, "Energy Medicine or 'Woo Woo': A Nurse Practitioner's Story", I talked about my journey and how I took a layperson's course on how to muscle test and began practicing on friends. It took about 6 months - 1 year before I felt comfortable with the accuracy of testing other people. After 10 years of having the method prove itself to me, I took the official training and became certified in it.
Self testing is tricky because one can be biased as to the result desired; however, I encourage people to ask questions the body already knows like testing one's name and someone else's name to practice the strong or weak muscle response. Once you get a feel for it, try to test other things. Thank you again for the comment and great question!
@@arizonahealingalternatives thank you so much!
@@arizonahealingalternatives
So where did you take the course of muscle testing ? Your video is Valuable
@@sowsansibai4923 Hi Sowsan! Thank you for your question and lovely comment! I was introduced to muscle testing when I took a layperson's course from my practitioner at the time. I, then, took the official Total Body Modification (TBM) training in 2002 from the founder, Victor Frank DC, DO.
I was able to do testing after begging God to help me, I used the 'squeeze my right hand pretending to hold a ball, with my left hand' technique, I also learned how this works, the greater mind gives us this information not our bodies
Hi Stephen! I’m not sure I understand your comment and would like to learn more about what you mean. Please feel free to explain further, and thank you for your comment!
1:54 How to self-test different parts of the body for weakness, and especially what kind of germ(s) are there?
I figured I'd reply to the germ comment in this question here for you🙂. Self-testing is complicated at best. I have another video coming out in a week or two where I present the issue of self-testing at a talk I gave for the Elevate 2024 conference.
The muscle testing I do is in a framework called TBM or Total Body Modification. We do test for different types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses and sometimes can test for specific ones. These days there aren't courses to teach a lay person's version of muscle testing to do at home to check for these things. You would have to be trained in TBM to do it as there are vials and other things needed to confirm.
I hope that helps!!
👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment😊!
How do you hold something to your chest, and push your arm at the same time
Hi Cherie! Such a great question!! There are many ways to do it, but I show a demonstration of this about 43 minutes into this video: ruclips.net/video/D4Pws17_FNg/видео.html. The bubbles are to try to protect the person's privacy. I'm sure some people hold the supplement in their hand to test as well. Let me know what works for you, and thank you again for the question! Heather
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, I still feel that this technique doesn't work for me. It is the main reason I couldn't get the hang of the Bodytalk system. Is there any new or more obvious technique?
Hi Cormac Crisp! Thank you so much for your comment! I completely agree that any technique for self muscle testing can be challenging. I have heard people use the leaning technique or someone replied about using a pendulum which I have also heard of. I think the bottom line is that testing oneself is hard because we aren't objective about ourselves. We also question ourselves a lot about the test result we get. I wish you the best at finding a practitioner that can test you or to continue to research different techniques in hopes of finding one that works well for you. Please keep me posted and thanks again!
@@arizonahealingalternatives Thanks for the reply and the encouragement! I will keep on trying! Do you practice the bodytalk system too?
@@glanmire1 My pleasure! Definitely, keep on trying!
I don't practice The BodyTalk System. There are so many wonderful ways in Energy Medicine to access the body to help it heal itself; BodyTalk looks very interesting. I specifically am trained to use Applied Kinesiology in a framework called Total Body Modification (TBM) and Neuro-Emotional Reprogramming. I also use Neuro-Emotional Reprogramming along with Clinical Hypnosis when needed.
Have a great night!
How do you self test food / supplements on your chest and muscle test with 2 hands ? Do you just ask if the supplement is healthy without touching chest?
Thank you for the great question! There are some who use muscle testing for a supplement or food/food vial, as an example, by holding it in the hand. In Total Body Modification (TBM), we are trained to hold things to the center of the chest, where the Thymus point (immune system point) is located. You can lie down, put the item on the center of the chest, and test yourself. For a supplement, you might want to take a pill out and put it in a zip lock bag before putting on the center of the chest. You can also clip the zip lock bag with a safety pin to your shirt.
There is an item made on the TBM website (tbmseminars.com) that is a crochet small bag with a necklace that can be used. In my office (since vials with substances and supplements are held to the chest to clear them), a patient made a cute little cloth bag to hold the vials for me😊.
I hope this helps; please let me know if you have any other questions, and thank you again for writing!
I tried testing on my name and don’t find any difference. Wish I did as it would be a great tool if it worked.
Hi Tessa!
Thank you so much for your feedback. It is very frustrating when you can’t feel the difference between a weak or strong response. It took me years of practice to really get comfortable feeling the difference.
I would suggest continuing to practice. I also did a follow-up video with different techniques you can try to see if they work better for you: ruclips.net/video/r-csoM_HhdI/видео.htmlsi=HafzN_vYaXC1qUbc
Wishing you the best!
I tried it but on my arm with my name and then other names.The movement of the arm is the same.no difference.what am i doing wrong
Hi Archana! Thank you so much for your question. You aren't doing anything wrong. It usually takes a lot of time and practice to feel subtle differences when muscle testing. Even the slightest movement of the arm can be the weak response vs. strong response. Most think there has to be a big difference. If it helps, you could watch my live demonstration and explanation of muscle testing: ruclips.net/video/pd4EfIVbY_k/видео.html. Please keep me posted!
My question is that I don't have three arms, how do I test myself and hold an item to my body at the same time?
Hi! Very good question! There are some who use muscle testing for a supplement, as an example, by holding it in the hand. In Total Body Modification (TBM), we are trained to hold things to the center of the chest, where the Thymus point (immune system point) is located. If you wear a bra, you can tuck a substance in it, as long as it is near the center of the breast bone (sternum). You can also lie down, put the item on the center of the chest, and test yourself.
There is an item made on the TBM website (tbmseminars.com) that is a crochet small bag with a necklace that can be used. In my office (since vials with substances are held to the chest to clear them), a patient made a cute little cloth bag to hold the vials😊.
I hope this helps; please let me know if you have any other questions, and thank you again for writing!
I just ask the same question before I saw this!😮
I dont know if im pushing too hard because someone it moves and sometimes its doesn’t
Thank you for the comment! You are absolutely right that if you push too hard, you can force it to go weak. Tomorrow, I am releasing a follow-up to this video to try to help with the questions I've received. It will publish at 10:00 am Arizona Time. Let me know if that one helps you. It truly takes time and practice and never forcing or pushing too hard. Keep me posted!
Actually, the follow-up video will come out this Thursday, 4/11 at 10:00 am Arizona Time.
Many use a pendulum, micromuscle testing
Hi Gary! Thank you so much for the great comment! Absolutely, I know many who use the pendulum with great success!
@@arizonahealingalternatives Yes, I've been using a pendulum for 4 years now with many surprising results.
@@rickroberts1067 That's fantastic! I'm glad it works for you!
how do I know if I'm doing it right? I can make my arm or ring strong with true or false answers :/
Thank you for your great question!

Most think there has to be a big difference.

Let me know how it goes and if there is anything else I can do to help answer your question! Thank you again for reaching out!
@@arizonahealingalternatives thank you for the response! I’ll check your other video. And start practicing to get an accurate feeling for it
I find there is no difference at all in my strength if I'm lying. I have to ask... if the muscle you are testing is weaker because you are lying, then why wouldn't the muscle you are using to push on the arm or finger also be weaker? Seems like it would be a wash.
Hi David! Such a great comment and question! Muscle testing yourself is difficult at best. If you are lying or even emotionally attached to the outcome of the question, both the testing arm and the arm being tested can be faulty. Honestly, it is best to teach someone else to test you if possible. If it isn't a possibility, then try your best to step back from yourself and pretend you are someone else testing yourself to see if you can tell a difference when speaking a truth (such as saying your own name) vs. a lie (saying you are someone else's name). I hope that helps; thank you for bringing up such a great question!
What if you are given answers that are based on your own bias of thinking something is true? Simple questions about food, and they test yes meaning beneficial, yet come to find out those foods were not beneficial and caused an issue. It made me research muscle testing, and it seems the answers given, are merely WHAT YOU think is beneficial, will make the muscles stronger aka yes. As opposed to what your body may need. if I think this food is healthy, based on beliefs about it I may have read, If I believe it, it will test yes... But with testing, and testing that testing for proof, the things I was eating based on muscle testing results were actually doing me harm. Then once I found this out, when I tested those foods that always muscle tested as yes, then because of my new understanding, it changed back to no. Seems muscle testing is tricky. I did it for years, but havent for almost a year since it was only confirming my own bias and not what my body actually needed. Is there anyway to bypass this so one can really get real results and not what I MAY think is beneficial. I was only using it for supplements, and food choices, not beyond that.
Thank you so much for your amazing and insightful comment and question! You are absolutely correct that muscle testing, and especially muscle testing yourself, is very tricky and subjective. If you are emotionally attached to the outcome (like with a food that you want to eat) you are likely to get the response you want vs. what is more accurate for your body. To your point, if you research something and believe it to be true, your testing will be effected.
Bias (whether it is with yourself) or with a practitioner is tricky. Anyone (including a practitioner) can make what they think is a strong or weak (yes or no) response. This is why when I work on myself the results may not be as accurate, as I am emotionally attached to the outcome, no matter how detached I try to be. I also try to work with practitioners that do their best to remove their bias when working on me.
When I work on patients, I won't look at the vials or things I am testing, for example food vials, to remove my bias of what I think may be wrong with the person. Once I get a confirmed yes or no, then I will look at the vial.
I'm so glad you made the comment and appreciate your viewpoint, as you are stating exactly what I have found to be true both with myself and in practice.
The best advice I can give is to try your best to trust yourself and not look at what you are testing if possible. You could have someone else hold the food or substance to your chest and test yourself to try to remove your bias. Also, try to clear your head (not thinking about anything) and just test. The next suggestion is to find a practitioner that can help and one where you can ask them how they work to remove their bias.
I hope this helps!
I saw a clip of this guy use another person as the conduit for the answers he wanted to know. So they held out their arm he asked the question in his mind and he got his answers. The conduit person was not influenced what so ever.
Can you self test your child? Like practitioners can test someone by proxy? Thank you!
Hi Sarah!
Thank you for your question and for reaching out! Yes, it is also called surrogate testing as one person can hold the child while another person muscle tests the adult that is holding or in contact with the child.
This sort of testing is very effective in cases where a child is too young to test or even in a child/adult with speech issues.
The test can be done to correct conditions or even check for supplements!
Thank you again for the great question!
I’ve tried all 3 ways and got NO difference. What is happening?
Hi Kathryne!
I know it is very frustrating when you start to try to muscle test, especially if it is on yourself. It takes time and a lot of practice to be able to feel the difference between a strong and weak muscle response.
There is a section on TBM in my "Energy Medicine or 'Woo Woo': A Nurse Practitioner's Story" video or a shorter version on just TBM that shows testing an audience member and having the audience pair up to test each other using their names. You might want to watch those as well.
What I would recommmend is to try to muscle test someone else (as shown in those videos) to see if you can feel a difference. An easy way to test is to ask the person you are testing to say, "My name is" and let them use their name...the response should be strong when you test. Then, have them say "My name is Kathryne", and you should feel a weak muscle response, since the body knows that isn't true. The weak response may be a very slight movement of the arm going down and can be very subtle. Once you know what that feels like and feel comfortable try to test yourself again.
Practice with that, have lots of patience, keep at it, and let me know how it goes!
Thank you for reaching out!
Well can’t we just say the food instead of our name and see if it gives or not
Hi! Thank you for your comment! Absolutely, using the name is just one example to help people feel the difference between a strong and weak response. Have a great day!
@@arizonahealingalternatives thanks! What about blinded testing? Like eyes closed and handing you several ziplock baggies of different foods? This removes personal biases towards food. Th is should still show us how our bodies reacts to the energy of a food right?
@@conisalgado1294 Such a great comment! Muscle testing yourself is very difficult because of the biases we have. I was trained to hold the substance, vial, food etc. on the center of the chest but know practitioners that just hold it in the hand. Eyes open or closed but not looking at the substance does help to decrease biases. In my practice, I don't look at the vial or substance to remove my own bias before testing it on someone 🙂.
I don’t have any muscle weakness telling a lie. Am a sociopath? : / mostly joking. I’ll keep trying.
Thank you for the comment😂. I think it is probably more of a function of practice as it can be very hard to tell a weak from a strong response when testing yourself🙂.
Are you dehydrated or have cervical neck misalignment?
@@dsiev27
Wow! I actually think both. Not due to not drinking enough though. I think my body isn’t taking up the minerals.
Great thoughts @darriensiever2935, as dehydration and misalignment could be factors when muscle testing yourself! Thank you for replying to @@sea_hous as well😀!
If you don’t calibrate above 200 ( map of consciousness ) Dr David Hawkins it will not work.
Thank you so much for your comment! Your comment is so interesting as I just returned from a conference where I was introduced to Dr. David Hawkins work and the concept/practice of calibration.
I plan to do a follow-up video to this one in a few months with viewers comments on the way they muscle test, calibration, and the new muscle testing techniques I've been introduced to (and am practicing/using) since this video was made.
Thank you again for your thoughtful comment!
That’s what I’ve heard too from him
this has to be bullshit I said some other name and my fingers don't magically unlock lol
Lol, yes, it was many years of skepticism and even more years of practice before I got the hang of muscle testing, especially self muscle testing.
