Of all the tools in my toolbox, my most valued is my ability to use self-muscle testing.

If you have not tried muscle testing, or even if you have not gotten the results you were looking for, I want to share these 7 tips with you.

1. Practice! By using muscle testing often throughout the day, you’re essentially training your body to become more sensitive to the muscle responses. So over time, you’ll need to use less and less pressure, AND it will help your intuition become stronger.

2. Finesse, not force. Listen to your body. Use the least amount of pressure and resistance as possible. This will help you avoid tiring your muscles out or hurting your joints with repetitive use.

3. Pain means stop! Don’t hurt yourself. Learn a backup method just in case you do start to need it.

4. Keep your mind clear. Turn off music and tv and leave other distractions in the other room. Don’t let anything influence the clarity of your questions or answers.

5. Keep your questions direct and to the point. That way your answers can be clear too! Ask your questions aloud if you have trouble staying focused.

6. Respect it! Muscle testing is not to be used for telling the future or invasively reading someone’s mind.

7. Be patient. Don’t stress if you’re not great at it right away. It’s just like learning to play the piano, it takes time and practice to become proficient.

Best of luck to you, and if you really want to take your muscle-testing skills to the next level I recommend that you learn more about becoming a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner.
