Muscle testing has been used for a long time as a way to get answers from the body. It is a way to access the subconscious mind and help an individual to heal. Our subconscious mind remembers everything that we have done, seen, eaten, smelled, etc., and holds the key to how we need to heal and in what order. The body can be asked yes or no questions and the body will respond with either a strong muscle when a small amount of pressure is applied or weak. Typically the client will hold up an arm and the tricep muscle is used. The muscle will hold strong when the question asked is a truth and weak if not.
