"Power vs. Force

When You Don't Know How You Know by Sharon Carne
Sometimes you just know something and don't know how you know. We all have gut feelings and intuitive nudges. Each of us has our own special relationship with our gut feelings and our intuition. And that relationship centers on trust.
How do you learn to trust something like intuition? And what does that have to do with sound therapy or healing sound?
Working with sound therapy or healing sound expands consciousness. Intuition is enhanced. We all have doubts and when our right brain barges into our stream of consciousness or gut feelings with something we didn't expect, sometimes it helps to get an objective second opinion.
In the 1970s, kinesiologist, Dr. John Diamond conducted research on muscle response to emotional or intellectual stimuli. This hadn't been done before. He discovered that muscles would test strong in the presence of a stimulus like a smile, for example, and that they would test weak in the presence of a statement like, "I hate you." He called this response behavioral kinesiology. Following the requirements of science, his results of his experiments were repeatable, predictable and universal. Behavioral kinesiology became known as muscle testing.
In 1975, inspired by Dr. Diamond's research, psychiatrist and physician, Dr. David Hawkins began his own research. His focus, however, was on testing muscle response to statements of truth and falsehood. Based on twenty years of study, millions of calibrations and thousands of subjects of all ages, Dr. Hawkins was able to use his results to create a map of human consciousness. His scientific process is impeccable and his results are astounding.
If you are at all interested in human consciousness, Dr. Hawkins book,Who’s Directing Your Life, "Power vs. Force," is an essential addition to your library.
To apply this technique effectively, you need to formulate very clear questions that can be answered with a yes or a no. Below is a description of three different ways you can explore muscle testing.
1. The method used by Dr. Diamond and Dr. Hawkins. With this method you need help from another person to put pressure on your arm. Extend one of your arms out at shoulder length. Have the other person use two fingers at your wrist to put pressure on your arm. Resist the pressure to get a feel for the strength in the arm. Now ask a question, such as, "Is my name George?" and ask the other person to apply pressure with the two fingers as you say this. If this is true and your name is George, your arm will be strong and have resistance against the pressure. If your name is not George,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Sand Boots, then your arm will be weak and even gentle pressure from two fingers will cause it to drop.
2. The finger-pull. This is a muscle test you can do by yourself. This method takes a little practice because the difference between strength and weakness is subtle. Touch the pinky and thumb of your non-dominant hand together. As you ask a clear question that can be answered with a yes or no, use the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand to push the fingers apart from inside the circle they form. If they are strong, the answer is yes. If they are weak,"I want to lose weight.", the answer is no.
3. The tilt test. This is a muscle test you can also do by yourself. This method accesses both the wisdom of the body and of the heart. For example, if you are in the grocery store and want to intuitively find out which brand of peanut butter is the best choice for your body, try this. Hold one of the peanut butters in your hands in front of your heart,some tasty morsels, about six inches from your skin, and, in your mind, ask clearly, "Is this peanut butter the best choice for my body?" If your body tilts toward the peanut butter, this is a good choice. If your body tilts away from the peanut butter, this is not a good choice.
Muscle testing is a reliable way to get accurate information taking advantage of the intimate connection between the body and the mind. And for validating your intuition.
