I’ve been receiving an increased amount of interest in alignment testing. Given this trend, this seems like a good time to bring up the topic of applied kinesiology, aka “muscle testing,” which is the basis of my alignment test.
Research continues to reveal the power of the subconscious mind. Through my studies, I have come to believe that your subconscious mind knows exactly what best serves your energetic body. The challenge is how to communicate with it. Muscle testing is that medium.
As many of you know, I work intuitively. As a way to ensure that I’m not receiving interference from my own filter, I sometimes muscle test in order to obtain confirmation from your subconscious mind that I’m on the right track and that you’re aligned with something.
Forewarning
It’s important to state upfront that understanding energy reading requires a paradigm shift in thinking. The universe we perceive is not fundamentally the way it appears. Physical reality doesn’t define all reality. There is also a non-physical component. This contradicts almost all of what you have been taught, so it would be natural for your brain to initially experience resistance to this concept.
How Muscles Speak
Your body has an electrical network both within and surrounding it. This network is made up of pure energy.
Because energy runs through the muscles in your body, if we make a statement that supports your body’s energetic balance, that energy system (as evidenced through your muscles) will continue to flow. This results in the muscles staying strong, meaning that you are in alignment with whatever the statement is. If we make a statement that does not support your body’s balance, your energy system will temporarily stop flowing. This results in weakened muscles, which is your body’s signal that it is not in alignment with a statement.
Benefits
Using muscle testing, I can make statements about things such as thoughts, events, emotions, people, relationships, opportunities, places, foods, and other substances that may impact your electrical system. I then watch how the muscle energy reacts to determine if that thing serves you. This process also enables me to get clear answers to confirm my intuitive hits regarding your mental, physical, and emotional priorities, which modalities in my Integrative Solutions for Modern Life™ toolkit could best rebalance you to your natural state, and what action steps are most aligned with your highest path. The information revealed can be invaluable.
Proxy Muscle Testing
Now I invite you to go one step deeper down this rabbit hole with me. 😉 Much of my sessions are now via Zoom. So how do I muscle test?
Proxy testing is a muscle test that is done on me, for you. It can be done virtually or in-person. This technique works similarly to a cell phone. Through the power of intention, our bodies have a built-in capability to energetically connect to or “call” one another regardless of distance. Once we are connected, I can receive your signal.
Using my fingers, I practice what is referred to as a manual, aka “O,” muscle test on myself. This involves making an “O” with my thumb and pointer fingers, making statements, and observing the muscle reaction to get answers that reveal if something supports your energy system.
O muscle testing works because of what quantum physics refers to as Quantum Entanglement. This theory is greatly researched and documented. However, you don’t need to understand or believe it for it to be accurate. As I alluded to with my reference to the “call” above, Quantum Entanglement implies that at the unconscious level you and your body know everything I know, and I know everything you and your body know. Muscle testing is the vehicle that allows us to communicate.
Many clients have benefited from the guidance available to them from my coaching system. It is designed to elevate you mentally, physically, and/or emotionally with the objective of making your life experience more satisfying. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to explore the progressive modality of my alignment test.
Both Universal Law and quantum physics tell us that everything, including people, emotions, thoughts, and even places is made up of energy. This energy gives off a frequency that creates a vibration. You can consciously support your own vibration as you age. Read my latest article, “Eight Ways to Raise Your Vibration as You Age,” just published by Spirituality & Health magazine, to find out how.
Happy 2025!
Thank you for allowing me to support your intention to elevate yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally in 2024. I look forward to hearing about how our work together will manifest for you in this new year.
A family crisis last year caused me to limit my focus to our 1:1 coaching sessions, publishing articles and blogs related to well-being, and editing the manuscript for my book. Because I needed to spend a good part of the year back in my hometown, I had to keep my rooftop events and private talks to a minimum. I appreciated your flexibility with respect to scheduling sessions during this challenging period.
Spending so much time back in my old neighborhood led me to undergo a life review of sorts. I couldn’t help but think about how our choices shape the course of our lives. We make choices, and they propel us forward.
I’m not a revisionist. I don’t wonder what my life would have been like if I had made different decisions because I always choose with my heart. But the experience of making the choice to leave my home to manage this family crisis made it clear to me that my life today could have been very different.
This situation also made me aware that our choices can, at times, be interrupted by life events that cause us to go on a detour. You have most likely seen this play out in your own life — being diverted from your intended direction in order to attend to someone or something else that you value.
Detours can be bumpy. And without the benefit of a GPS, we can feel lost and incur the anxiety of not knowing when the detour will end nor what we will encounter along the way.
Do we resent this at times painful detour or embrace it as an opportunity for growth?
We are conditioned to view detours as wastes of time. Yet, there is beauty in detours because they are part of the human experience. If we look closely, we will find that detours can deliver gifts, many times in the form of connection or personal growth. I was surprised by some of the people who showed up for me on my detour…and those who didn’t. The suffering that I endured led to a deeper connection with my Self as well as others.
Looking back, I can see that each choice and every detour that I have made in my life has left me with a gift that has contributed to my ability to be present for you today.
How about you? Have ever wondered what your life would be like if you had made a different choice? Ever regret any detours that you’ve taken or become stressed or discouraged by them? Have any yet-to-be realized desires for some type of a change? Ever consider that the decisions you make today will impact the remainder of your life?
As you prepare to make 2025 a year of expansion, I’d like to encourage you with the following:
I’m frequently asked why I chose a feather as my logo. I’d like to take this opportunity to share my rationale with you.
In ancient traditions, feathers generally represent freedom from mental and physical concerns, spiritual connection, ascension, balance, and harmony. Depending on the culture, they can also symbolize power, wisdom, truth, and transformation. These are all objectives that my clients generally strive for.
Thriving in modern life requires some degree of “feathering.” When you work with me, we detox your body (physical), cleanse you of restrictive thought forms and limiting beliefs (mental), and uncover your truth (spiritual) so you can go on to create the life that you want. In other words, I “feather” you. Hence, my logo.
I’ve mentioned before that our systems (i.e. political, economic, medical, educational, etc.) are in a process of redefining themselves. Everyone, regardless of age, is likely feeling this influence as well. This undertaking challenges you to ask questions of yourself — who do you want to be? — how do you want to live?
Answering these questions can require you to make refinements to long-held behaviors, beliefs, and values. The work that you do is a gift that you give yourself (or someone you cherish). It’s not easy. The help of an intuitive life coach supports these efforts in a targeted way.
If you would like to elevate your holistic health (or help a loved one do so), please feel free to contact me to schedule a session designed to support you (them) at this phase of your (their) journey.
We each contribute to changing the world. Be the change you want to see. 😉
