muscle testing – Jyll's Zen Lounge

I was first introduced to muscle testing back in 2006 when I began certified in Crystalline Consciousness Technique, aka CCT. CCT is a new energy healing modality working with sacred geometry and the electro-magnetic fields of our bodies (as well as everything around us) and the power of positive intentions.

Muscle Testing is a direct way of obtaining Yes and No answers from our energy body/subconscious.

First to understand how this works you need to understand that our bodies have an energy grid as well as everything around us; everything is pure energy.

Just like any electrical system, when it is operating correctly and efficiently the power flows through the circuit strong and continuously and if something goes awry, there is a short circuit. Same holds true for our bodies. Everything that happens to us affects our flow of energy; such as events, thoughts, emotions, food, weather, etc.

With muscle testing we are using the flow or lack of flow to connect to the inner wisdom to understand how something is impacting our energy system. When something feels good and enhances us, the circuit flows strong. When something is negative and not in our best interest our circuit cuts out, even if just for a quick moment. Same thing with Truth. If we make true statements, our electrical system continues to flow open and strong, allowing muscles to retain their strength. On the other hand if a false statement is made, our energy system will temporarily short circuit and the muscles weaken.

To begin muscles testing, the hardest part is removing the many veils of judgement, assumption, emotion and other personal distortions we may place on what we think is the correct answer we are searching for. Therefore the most important element of muscle testing is the willingness to actually listen to the energy body, without any wavering insight or left brain utility.

THE BODY DOESN’T LIE.

“When we get into our bodies, we get into our lives. And when we are into our lives, anything is possible.” Karol Ward

The Body strives to move us to emotional/mental health. The discernment to hear and listen to the innate wisdom of the our energy body is an excellent way to perceive our truth. When we are open and receptive in energy body, we are open to the world surrounding us. I encourage you to be open and feel into and experience all the true beauty this world has to offer.

I give examples of muscle testing in my blog Communicating with Self. Go ahead and practice the techniques. Which one most resonates with you? As you develop your skill, how are you incorporating muscle testing into your life?

Zenfully Yours,

When is the last time you got in touch with and listened to what your body and/or soul had to say? If you take the time to feel into the body, it will tell you what it needs. It’s amazing just how beautifully complicated we human beings are and just how intelligent as well.

When we are able to connect to the energy of communication we become aware that we truly are able to communicate with our bodies. When we allow this to happen we begin to recognize its signals and understand how to solve its discomforts. Resonating in the energy of communication brings our body and our spirit into deeper contact with each other.

Developing effective ways to communicating well with yourself is an imperative aspect of overall health and happiness, just as a well-balanced diet and exercise. Mindfulness helps you tune into how you are feeling and what you are thinking without judgement and possibly without words, allowing yourself to be open and accepting of yourself.

There are many ways to connect to the energy of communication with yourself, below I cover three methods:
*Meditate
*Inner Listening
*muscle testing

Inner Listening: One of my favorite tools for accessing my body. It’s when you take some time to journey through the body and feel into it. First, find a comfortable position either sitting or laying down. I prefer savasana (corpse pose). Bring your awareness to your breath, without manipulating it in any way, just being aware of it. Feel the breath moving in and out of your body. Take notice of which parts of your body move with your breath and which parts do not. Take a little journey through your body, I like to begin at my toes and slowly travel upwards taking in any sensations you may be experiencing, noticing any areas of tension or temperature upon your skin. Do any images of colors or sounds bubble up from within? You can go a little deeper by actually placing your hands on certain areas of your body. Take notice how sensations and breath may shift as you move through your body. Take notice how this exploration changes your mood, your energy, your sense of who you are. When done, give a moment of gratitude to self for taking the time to journey within.

Muscle Testing: This is a direct way of asking your body yes/no questions and having it innately know and answer you. It suggest that we already have all the answers we seek within us. There are many forms of muscle testing, below I list three:
1) use of holding a pendulum
2) swaying of the body
3) various hand gestures: interlocking, sticky fingers, bringing palms together, index and middle finger to thumb, finger press

Perhaps you have heard of the pendulum muscle testing. It’s when you hold some sort of pendulum, rather it’s a crystal on the end of a chain, or your grandfathers pocket watch, etc, you hold it out with your hand, and as in all forms of muscle testing you first ask for it show you what YES is and then what NO is. For each answer there will be a consistent movement of the pendulum. Once you can decipher what a YES and a NO, is you can ask yourself the questions you desire answers to.

For me, I use my Left hand (my recessive hand) and place my middle finger on top of my index finger. My Yes is when I go to flip my fingers apart the middle finger will stay on top of my index finger, a magnetic feeling if you will. My No is my middle finger will quickly slide off my index finger. The great thing about this version of muscle testing, no one really knows when I’m asking myself a question and finding my answers.

If this is new to you I suggest first practicing with general questions. First, ground and center yourself then using your chosen method of muscle testing, ask yourself a few easy questions that you already know the answers to like: “Is my name Sam?” (Use a name that is not your true name to test your No. Do this a few times. Then use your true name that the answer is YES. In my case, Jyll. You can use basic facts about yourself, like birth date and birth place, you get the idea. As you learn your signals for YES and NO, begin to ask other questions and see how you begin to connect to your innate wisdom. I go into more on Muscle Testing here.

Meditation: While I know this word has a tendency to scare some people and I get a reaction like, “I can’t slow down, my mind is always going.” or I can’t sit still and think about nothing.” Granted, I enjoy my meditation sessions my sitting quietly on my yoga mat with my eyes closed and connecting with my breath, this is not the only way. Some people choose to meditate with a visual object such as a burning flame. Some like listening to music. While some people can enter a meditative state when they go for a run. Some people yet find their meditative state in cooking or hiking. When I suggest meditation, I’m encouraging you to find an activity where you simply lose track of time; your thoughts seem to disappear because you are so immersed into your activity that brings you such joy and calmness. In other words you enter a state of wordlessness, where no thoughts are required because you are immersed into the passion of what you are doing. Here in this state, you can take a moment to access how you are: how you are feeling, what sensations are traveling through your body when you are immersed in said activity, if removed from the moment, how does that feel?

Over time this ability to settle into breath and body will begin to broaden the ability to being more present to every aspect of life: feelings, thoughts, sensations, intuitions. You will begin to grow clearer and wiser and have a deep feeling of connection with all beings (the ultimate goal of seeing clearly with our innate wisdom, after all, is understanding that we are all truly connected and are one), and you will begin to act with deeper care and love.

The body truly strives to move us to emotional/mental health. The discernment to hear and listen to the innate wisdom of the our energy body is an excellent way into perceiving our truth. When you are open and receptive in energy body, you are open to the world surrounding us.

I encourage you to communicate with yourself, get to know yourself and find what makes you thrive. Resonate in high vibrational feelings and manifest your greatness.

Zenfully yours,
Jyll
