MUSCLE TESTING
We use muscle testing (also known as applied kinesiology) to test a large variety of things that we consider using to maintain the health and welfare or our dogs. This is an energy-based skill based on the fact that an individual's body has innate wisdom about what is best for it.
Muscle testing has been around for a very long time and has been validated by science and also debunked. You will have to decide for yourself if you believe that it is a useful tool for you and your pets. I have found that it is extremely reliable when I am trying to choose a particular component of raw diet, a remedy for an illness, or even things as simple as treats for training and proper equipment. There is usually something that tests as being more beneficial than other choices, and usually that choice turns out to be right.
There is a lot of information available on the Internet on this modality and I won't try to reproduce it here. However, I will say that I use it on pretty much a daily basis. Some people muscle test with two people, but since I don't have that luxury, I have learned to do it alone with my hands and it seems to be very reliable this way. When testing something for a particular animal, I use strong focus and intent that I am testing just for that animal and no-one else. So I am able to do this using my own body as a surrogate for that particular pet. Energy is universal and we are all connected by it, so doing this is just as valid if not more so than actually muscle testing using the animal.
Muscle testing can be done from a distance. You don't need to be in the same room as the animal to muscle test on their behalf. But you need to practice and have strong focus to get good at it. Practice the simple "Truth Test" first (see my video) until you get the hang of it, and then enjoy using this personal skill to enhance your pets lives and your own!
I even use muscle testing to choose vegetables and turkeys at the grocery store, or to test whether I should buy a particular pair of shoes or jeans. Yes, it even works for that! Many people also use dowsing to get these kinds of answers, and I also find dowsing to be very accurate, but a bit more time consuming. More on that in another section of the web site.

DEFINITION OF KINESIOLOGY: I found a good definition of what this is and how it works for your left brain at Holistic Health Tools:
Simply stated, the body has within it and surrounding it an electrical network or grid. If anything impacts your electrical system that does not maintain or enhance your health and your body’s balance, your muscles, when having physical pressure applied, are unable to hold their strength. (Muscle power is directly linked to the balance of the electrical system.) In other words, if pressure is applied to an individual’s extended arm while his body’s electrical system is being adversely affected, the muscles will weaken and the arm will not be able to resist the pressure. The circuits of the electrical system are overloaded or have short-circuited, causing a weakening of that system. However, if pressure is applied while his electrical system is being positively affected, the circuits remain strong, balanced and capable of fully functioning throughout the body. The muscles will remain strong, the person will easily resist and the arm will hold its position.
This electrical/muscular relationship is a natural part of the human system. It is not mystical or magical. Kinesiology is the established method for reading the body’s balance through the balance of the electrical system at any given moment.

THE TESTIMONY OF AN 81 YEAR OLD DOCTOR
I have such gratitude for my amazing 81 year old doctor,
who is allopathically trained. He took the time to learn kinesiology, to get
REALLY good at it, and to trust his intuitive skills equally as much as his
scientific training. As a result, he has been
able to heal me from some things that have plagued me for decades, including
some really weird things that I thought would never be cured without allopathic
intervention - like cold sensitivity in my teeth, for example.
I ran across this in his office last week and I want to share with you his definition of how this works and why. I think it may appeal to the scientific brain in you.
"The human body is constantly being monitored, controlled, and organized by an intelligent, bioelectric force called the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Life circulates in our bodies by way of the autonomic nervous system. The ANS is in direct contact with every cell, muscle, organ and tissue, and it knows exactly what is happening inside our bodies at all times. It is our functional nervous system.
We find ANS disturbances and guide selection of potential remedies and treatments to restore health. Kinesiology helps to find where the ANS disturbances are, the root causes for these, and how the various organs and body structures relate to each other. Kinesiology heps prioritize system dysfunctions and allows custom tailoring of an individualized therapeutic approach to restore health.
A great degree of accuracy is possible with kinesiology. It will even uncover deficiencies at a sub-clinical level. That is, when the problem is so tiny that the person may not be aware of it, and many modern methods of testing could not detect it. Until kinesiology, the methods of determining the body’s structural, physical and nutritional needs were costly, time consuming and at times frightening. The only method of determining a nutritional need was by a person’s symptoms, expensive lab work, and the doctor’s knowledge of biochemistry, physiology and nutrition. An educated guess was made. Now with kinesiology, the educated guess is no longer necessary. Kinesiology is the finest natural method of guiding the health practitioner to the root of the problem."
I thank the Universe for healers like Dr. Battle who has not thrown away his scientific education but enhanced it with a trust in his intuition and a confidence that he can heal his patients completely. I can attest that this works. I re-test everything that he recommends before I spend any money on it, and he is always dead-on. I feel better now in the year that I will turn 60 than I did in my early thirties. My quality of life is improving, my stamina, my strength, and my brain works better. Aging does not necessarily mean decrepitude. In a natural unmedicated state, it means strength and wisdom.
Happy muscle testing!
