Learn How to Muscle Test Yourself
Accurate muscle testing is an important element in Lifonics. Many of us are familiar with some form of muscle testing. For much of my life, I have asked “yes” and “no” questions and got answers from my body: I used my hands to feel if my fingers or arms held strong (yes) or went weak (no) when I made a statement.
The reason this works is our subconscious mind is very intertwined with our body. You don’t have to think about breathing or your heart pumping blood. Your subconscious mind takes care of it. Even when you voluntarily raise your arm, it is your subconscious mind that coordinates all the muscle interactions to make this possible.
So, it was discovered that if you make a statement your subconscious mind agrees with, it temporarily makes your muscles stronger. And if you make a statement your subconscious mind disagrees with, it temporarily makes your muscles weaker.
Some health practitioners use arm strength for such testing, and others use pendulums instead. Both utilize muscular reactions to test the subconscious body’s response. Any muscle group can be used because your whole body gets temporarily stronger when you even think a thought that resonates with what your body/subconscious mind believes, and your whole body gets temporarily weaker when you think a thought that does not. (Hence the importance of what you are thinking moment to moment to the health of your body—you must be in harmony with yourself!)
It’s important to understand that muscle testing isn’t a test of the truth of the statement about an issue. Instead it is a test of your subconscious’ belief about that issue. This belief may or may not be correct, though it is often more likely to be correct than conscious guessing. You can’t, for example, use muscle testing completely reliably to find out what food or supplements you should take. Muscle testing tests only your body’s subconscious opinion about the food or supplement. Realize that the subconscious is not all-knowing. It can be correct, and it can be wrong. However, your body usually knows better than your conscious mind what food or supplements it needs.
Your subconscious beliefs are very important because they determine what kind of energy you attract into and repel from your life. It is not so much a question of whether they are true or false in an absolute sense but rather whether they serve to attract good feelings and experiences into your life or the opposite. Your subconscious beliefs are not an objective reality tester but a means for manifesting your reality: they make true/real for you what they contain.
If you subconsciously believe that you are happy, free, loving, creative, etc., these are the experiences that you will attract and make realities in your life. You—who are essentially the very consciousness of the whole universe—can be, do, and have anything you want! This ability that we all have to change our reality on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level is the basis for the many great successes in all healing modalities, including Lifonics. Every person is a powerful creator beyond what most of us have imagined.
Your body knows exactly what your subconscious beliefs are about every issue. These beliefs may or may not serve you. And they may be unified or contradictory. (Most of us have at least some contradictory subconscious beliefs, causing disharmony on multiple levels.) Lifonics has found that whenever there is anything in your life that seems imperfect, then there is at least one limiting belief in your subconscious. You can change that belief with Lifonics.
More Details About Muscle Testing
One muscle testing technique used in Lifonics involves a simple standing muscle test: observe the swaying of your whole body as it tilts forward (yes) or back (no) while listening to or repeating statements that have yes/no answers. Although this will work when you are facing any direction, it sometimes seems at first to produce a stronger, more easily identifiable result when you face magnetic north.
Before testing yourself, make sure that you are well hydrated and well mineralized because your body will thereby respond more clearly to the muscle testing. Drink one or more glasses of pure water with your favorite mineral drops added. If you body still isn’t hydrated enough, you can place the palms of your hands over your kidneys (stretching down below the last rib on your back) and apply firm pressure for about 30 seconds. This will temporarily trick your body into thinking that it is well hydrated so that you can test correctly.
Stand as tall as possible while feeling relaxed and balanced. Your toes should point straight forward, with your legs placed hip width apart. Imagine your legs are two stilts, with your upper body floating freely above them.
Then you are advised to “zip up your field.” Since you are affected by the energy that surrounds you, you can temporarily neutralize this effect through a mental visualization---take one hand and, starting from a few inches in front of you and below your groin, pull that hand up the center line of your body until you reach above the crown of your head, imagining that you are zipping up a big zipper. Then let your hand drop back to your side. This shield or energy bubble prevents your test results from being affected by the thoughts and beliefs of others. Repeat this periodically during your session as necessary.
Some people have, for whatever reason, a reversed polarity. This means they test backwards, leaning forward for “no” and backward for “yes.” This can usually be corrected simply with your intention or by lightly tapping on the top of their head with first the back and then the palm of your hand, followed by having them (or you, if you are testing yourself) zip up their field.
If you do all this and still don’t get accurate results in your muscle testing, you may have some conscious or subconscious beliefs around muscle testing that need to be changed (like that it is unsafe or doesn’t work) or you may lack muscle testing skills. Lifonics can teach you how to test clearly, what it feels like, and give you the requisite skills.
A Lifonics practitioner can quickly identify and, with your permission, change these issues so that you can test clearly. Nothing takes place in Lifonics without your participation, including you giving your permission, every step of the way. This is not only out of respect for your free agency but also because your subconscious mind is more likely to reject any change to which you have not given your verbal assent.
To see if you are testing accurately, hydrate yourself, zip up your field, and stand in the way described above facing north. Say “I am a man” and see whether your body sways forward (yes) or back (no). Also test “I am a woman.” If you are a person who feels s/he is both, you can test instead something like “My name is (your name)” and “My name is Donald Duck.” Or “I am a human being” and “I am an insect” or something else for which the answer is clear.
There is a difference between letting the earth’s magnetism take you back and forth and pushing yourself backward and forward. The first way you are allowing your body/subconscious mind to express what it believes and the second you are consciously controlling the outcome. Obviously, you want to let your body “speak.” To feel the difference, go ahead now and use conscious effort to push your body forward and backward. You will feel how different this is from true muscle testing, especially in your toes; they will move more and have tension.
Once you’re testing clearly and accurately on things you know the answer to, you can test any yes/no statement and see what your subconscious mind believes about it. Many people have developed long lists of beliefs to test – fundamental beliefs that either cause us unnecessary self-limitation and unhappiness or bring us great power and happiness. A Lifonics practitioner can help you pull out the first sort of belief—after seeing and harnessing its positive potential (the next breakthrough or higher step in your life it is calling you to take)—and replace it with the second.

If you are missing any of these, Lifonics can clear out anything standing in the way and then install them into your subconscious mind, which will also enable them to take hold in your conscious mind, if you so choose.
After you receive new resources and feelings, it’s up to you whether you choose to live them or not. Where your subconscious mind limited and compelled you before, you now have the freedom to decide. This is very empowering!
