K I wasn't gonna pout this uyp but I ended up doing so on another thread.

If anyone is interested its relatively easy to teach yourself. However, unless you can get a clear response to start you don't assume its working.

There are many ways and varieties on muscle testing. I'm not an expert in many but I am very comfortable in using a couple ways (I use it with clients to find out what issues to go for even if the client isn't consciously aware of it-and it almost always gets me amazing results-I use it very differently with clients though).

What I'll attempt to explain is what I consider one of the easiest ways to get going on it.

I'll explain a way to muscle test someone else (though there are at least 15 ways to muscle test youraself!)

Have someone stand facing you with their right arm out to the side. (right left doesn't matter)

You tell them you are going to slowly apply pressure to their arm and you want them to resist. Basically you don't want them to fight you and push up and force anything.. just to try to hold their arm there. If it moves thats fine just try to maintain it where ever it is. But its not a strength competition.

When you apply pressure apply, increase untill you get some movement. Its important to get movement!

OK so ask
What is your name? Get answer. Remind them to hold (the arm) and apply pressure, getting a feel for how much you have to apply. (note how much pressure you have to use to move them)

Now ask them to lie to you.
Tell them to say "My name is Bob Marley". Tremind to hold and apply the pressure at the same rate untill you get movement.
(note how much pressure it takes to move the arm)

second ask them to think of a positive memory/something wonderful that happened to them. Once they have it remind them to hold and apply the test.

Then ask for them to think of a negative memory/something that happened that wasn't good.

a third set of questions you could do would be.
Think of someone you love.
and
Think of someone you hate.

IF you are getting clear differences all the way through (with a strong response on the positives and truths and a weak response on the negatives etc then you can be pretty sure there is nothing getting in the way. (you could also hold a bottle of mineral water and test and then a poison or something that is bad for you, like deet, some cleaning product. cell phone etc)

If you have a clear response, a strong and a weak on those you should be clear to test unknowns.

For example. test whole wheat bread, soy

Simply hold the product in the hand not being tested (or have them hold if you are testing) and test.

IF you are getting clear results, in my experience it is very accurate. When its not clear it might not be a 'good' or 'bad'. It might be somewhat nutral.

--
Now there are things than can get in the way. It would be best to take off any watches, cell phones, pagers etc etc there are lots of things that can get in the way but my experience is with a bit of praactice (you need to get your judgements out of the way) its easy to get clear responses on most people.

By the way I have tested blind and the client blind so no one knew what was being tested with positive results.

Getting self out of the way is important. Do not expect a strong or weak as you can influence the test. You need to get your ego and judgements out of the way.

Let me know if you try and please share results :)
