What is Muscle Testing?
Muscle testing is a form of applied kinesiology that is used in the Theta Healing® technique to identify unconscious beliefs held within your system so that they can replaced with positive ones that support, health, happiness and wholeness
It enables physical communication with the subconscious. It is within the subconscious that all experiences, emotions, beliefs and memories are stored within you.
The body has an electromagnetic field, when you say something that is true for you the electromagnetic field send a positive frequency around your body and your muscles will become stronger and when your say something that isn't true for you the electromagnetic field sends a negative frequency around the body and the muscles become weaker in that moment.
Anybody can do muscle testing, because it works with the bodies natural electrical system and the muscles. It is important to be well hydrated for muscle testing to be fully effective.

Methods of muscle testing
Finger Testing: Most commonly used during sessions in person and can be used on yourself.
- Pinch together the thumb and index finger of one hand, this forms a muscle/electrical circuit.
- Whilst pressing together the thumb and index finger say the word “Yes.” Use the thumb and index finger of the other hand to try and pull the closed fingers apart. With a strong 'yes' response fingers will stay connected.
- Now repeat the process and say the word “No.” Use the thumb and index finger of the other hand to try and pull the closed fingers apart. With a strong 'no' response fingers will pull apart easily.

Body Sway: Most commonly used during Skype sessions and can be used on yourself.
- Stand upright facing north, this helps the electromagnetic field
- Look straight ahead, close your eyes and say 'Yes'. The body will sway forward.
- Now repeat and say the word “No.” The body will sway backward.

Muscle testing is usually very accurate, however certain factors can influence muscle testing. Such s:
- Hydration – hydration allows muscle test to work properly, therefore drinking plenty of water before a Theta Healing session will assist in accurate muscle testing
- Demineralization – a lack of minerals in your system can interrupt effective muscle testing, this is quite rare.
- Strong Emotions - can interrupt effective muscle testing, this can be remedied by 'zipping up' the energy field by moving one hand up the centre of the body from the base chakra to the top of the crown
How is Muscle testing used in ThetaHealing?
The use of energy testing allows yourself and others to test for the negative beliefs currently held within the subconscious. Once you change a negative belief into a positive one, you can muscle test straight away and see how your beliefs have been changed from negative to positive.
