One of the fascinating aspects of human beings is the Body/Mind connection.
A Bit of Background
The late Dr. John Diamond (1934-2021) was a pioneer in the field of holistic healing. Hie New York Times obituary, which appears on a following page, shows the extent of his prodigious mind.
His practice included psychiatry, alternative medicine, preventative medicine, and psychosomatic medicine.
Through his association with Dr. George Goodheart‘s work in Applied Kinesiology, he used muscle testing to identify and correct sources of stress in the body.
His best-selling book, Your Body Doesn’t Lie, was a “synthesis of developments in psychiatry, preventive medicine, kinesiology, nutrition, and music therapy.”
Dr. Diamond found that through a simple muscle test you could ask the body what was best for one’s health.
He wrote, “A simple muscle test can tell you what stimuli can strengthen or weaken you–how your body responds to stress, posture, specific foods, emotions, and your entire social and physical environments.”
Beyond the Physical
Since then, we have learned that beyond telling us what is going on with our physical body, a simple muscle test can also tell us what is going on in our subconscious mind. Since “Your Body Doesn’t Lie” you will always get an accurate response, as long as you don’t try to influence the outcome with your conscious mind.
Beyond the Subconscious
A simple muscle test also allows us to communicate with a higher intelligence, or Spirit, or what I lovingly call “The Big Mind.”
Beyond the Muscle Test
We can use a pendulum to access our subconscious mind through our body’s energy field.
A pendulum is as effective as a muscle test in communicating with the subconscious mind. It works on the same principle. I prefer it from the standpoint of ease.
You first want to establish how the pendulum will show a “Yes” “No” or “Maybe” response to a clear question or statement. The only time you will directly influence the motion is in the training phase:
Moving the pendulum in a front and back motion, say: “When I ask a question or make a statement and the response is positive, move toward and away from me.”
Moving the pendulum in a left to right motion, say: “When I ask a question or make a statement and the response is negative, move left to right to left.”
Moving the pendulum in a circular motion, say: “When I ask a question or make a statement and the response is not definitive, use a circular motion.”
To confirm agreement on what the responses mean, ask a question or make a statement about something you know is true: “I am a man.”/ “I am a woman.” “Is my name (Jack)?”/ “Is my name (Jill)?” “Today is Friday” / Is today Thursday?
When muscle testing it is possible for the conscious mind to override the subconscious mind. Do not let your conscious mind direct the pendulum or you won’t get a reliable answer. Always stay neutral in expectation of the response.
