What is Applied Kinesiology?
|
Everything in the universe can be scientifically defined in terms of energy. This means that everything contains an energetic frequency (often measured in Hertz "Hz"), from inanimate rocks to the living bodies of every species. Even those things that we can't see (oxygen, for example) is made up of energy.
Our energetic bodies respond to any and all energetic frequencies that we come into contact with. Applied Kinesiology is a scientific method used to gain feedback about the body's reactions to contact with these energetic frequencies. It must be understood that each of our bodies has a very intricate electrical biosystem. This system works much the same way as a standard electrical circuit. It is possible that these energetic responses may provide more intelligent and accurate feedback than the logical mind.
The technical definition of Applied Kinesiology is: An educational bioenergetic model utilizing muscle testing and/or monitoring as a tool to obtain feedback from the body.
When your energy field is increased (a positive feedback), there is an immediate and temporary increase in your physical muscle strength.
However, when your energy field is decreased (a negative feedback), there is an immediate and temporary decrease in your physical muscle strength.
What is "Frequency"?
|
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant
between any 2 points. It is measured in megahertz, and essential oils range
from 52 to 320 MHz. Frequencies of essential oils have been measured and studied
by Tanio Technologies in Washington with a biofrequency monitor.
Lower frequencies relate to physical form. Middle frequencies relate to
emotional concerns. Higher frequencies relate to spiritual concerns. Human cells
begin to mutate at 62 MHz. Negative thoughts will lower a
frequency by 12 MHz and positive thoughts will raise a frequency by 10 MHz.
Prayer and meditation have shown to raise frequencies by 15 MHz.
According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. However, a substance with a higher frequency will destroy a disease of lower frequency. Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc., cannot live.
Another part of this same study measured the frequency reaction of the human body to the introduction of coffee—using two male adults, the first a 26 year old and the second a 24 year old, both were measured at 66 MHz. The first individual held a cup of coffee (without drinking any) and his frequency dropped to 58 MHz in 3 seconds. He then removed the coffee and inhaled an aroma of essential oils. Within 21 seconds, his frequency had returned to 66 MHz. The second individual took a sip of coffee and his frequency dropped to 52 MHz in the same 3 seconds. However, no essential oils were used during the recovery time and it took 3 days for his frequency to return back to the initial 66 MHz.
Human Brain 72-90 MHz. Human Body (day) 62-68 MHz. Cold Symptoms 58 MHz. Flu Symptoms 57 MHz. Canidida 55 MHz. Epstein Barr 52 MHz. Cancer 42 MHz. Death Begins 25 MHz. Processed/Canned food up to 15 MHz. Dry Herbs 12-22 MHz. Fresh Herbs 20-27 MHz. Essential Oils 52-320 MHz.
The Muscle Test
|
Now we know that everything around us contains electrical energy, and that the electrical energy in our bodies can intertwine and become influenced by the energy of the things around us, we're ready to try a simple muscle test. The purpose of the muscle test is to determine the energetic changes (positive/negative or stronger/weaker) in your body while interacting with certain objects that contain different energy frequencies.
What you'll need to perform this test is: (1) a fresh apple, (2) a bottle of toxic chemical house cleaner (bleach, tile cleaner, etc.), and (3) a quiet area free from distractions.
- Set the apple and the bottle of cleaner on a table within reach (but do not place them too close to each other).
- Stand straight (but do NOT lock your knees, stay soft in your body) and close your eyes. Focus on how the energy in your body feels.
- Now, pick up the apple and hold it in your hand, close your eyes again. You will feel a shift in energy through your body (you may feel as though your body is being pulled forward or backward, or grounded toward the floor, etc.) Try to focus on how this feels.
- Now, set the apple down and pick up the bottle of toxic cleaner. Close your eyes again and focus on how this feels. The energetic frequency in your body will shift again.
What do you Learn from the Muscle Test?
|
The main thing you want to learn from the above test is how your body responds to a positive energy field (the apple) versus how it responds to a negative energy field (the toxic cleaner). The above muscle test is a "baseline" test that should be used first, each time, before you muscle test other substances such as essential oils... until you are very aware and comfortable with knowing for sure how your body feels when interacting with positive versus negative energy.
Once you begin to understand how your body responds to various electrical energy fields, you can then begin to listen to what your body is "telling you" to determine if something is going to be beneficial (strengthening) or harmful (weakening) to your body when contact is made.
We used the apple in this exercise because fresh produce contains a positive energy field and is the main building blocks of health in humans when consumed. The toxic cleaner was selected for this test because the energy field is very negative, and the contents can be deadly if consumed. The drastic difference in energy between these two items will help you to learn how to differentiate between positive and negative energy.
Although this is only one form of muscle testing, I'll describe another method of muscle testing in the "Using Muscle Testing in Daily Life" section below.
But first, let's use this test on essential oils...
Using Muscle Testing with Essential Oils
|
Now, set out several essential oils on the table and perform the same muscle testing that you did as described above. You may even get more accurate results if you are not looking at the labels, but rather picking a random bottle and "listening" to how the energy systems in your body interact with the energy of the bottle of oil.
Think again of the changes in your body's energy from the previous test. If your energy, for example, pulled your body forward (you may have felt like your body was tipping forward) when holding the apple, but pulled your energy backward when holding the toxic cleaner, then you know that the pull forward is a positive/strengthening feel and pulling backward is a negative/weakening feel. Pay attention when doing the muscle tests, as these "feelings" can reverse or change. So, first always perform your "baseline" test as described above.
By listening to the energy changes in your body that take place as a result of interacting with the oils, you should be able to easily determine which essential oil will be most helpful to you for application.
There have been many times where I think I might need one of 2 different oils (for example, Lavender and Peppermint), but I'm not sure which one I should apply. Rather than applying both of them, I might try a muscle test to determine which one will make the most positive change to my body's energy field. If I feel a more positive change when holding the bottle of Lavender, than I may only need to use that single oil for application.
Using Muscle Testing in Daily Life

Muscle testing can be used on nearly everything. You can muscle test the food you eat, the water you drink, and even the toothpaste you purchase from the store. The more you use muscle testing, the more you'll begin to allow your body's energy field to intimately interact only with those things that would strengthen it.
In addition to the form of muscle testing above, there are several other ways to use muscle testing. One of these ways is by asking verbal questions. Begin by standing straight (again, not locking your knees, stay soft in your body) and focus on how your energy feels. Ask a yes or no question out loud, such as, "Is my name Cheryl Sutor?" (yes... a silly question, but it works well as a "baseline" test). Your body's energy field will respond either positively or negatively. In this case, for me, my body would respond positively. For you, it should respond negatively, because your name is not Cheryl Sutor.
After your baseline test, you can ask nearly any yes/no question you can think of. "Should I eat the apple?" No. "Should I eat the banana?" Yes. Your energy will respond and you will know which food, the apple or the banana will best suit you at that moment, energetically.
How does this work when your energy field is not physically touching the energy field of the thing you are asking about? There are many scientific theories. The most popular tends to be that your subconscious remembers the previous energy interactions with those objects and responds accordingly. So, if your body's energy system is not in need of an apple, it is able to tell you so.
Another theory is that thoughts carry an energy field (and physical frequency) of their own. This can explain why you can feel a sudden surge of positive, strengthening energy when entering a room where there are people who love you or care deeply about you. You can also experience a sudden and drastic decline in energy and strength when people are having negative thoughts about you. We have all experienced this.
Yet another theory that has been made by some advanced researchers, such as David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., author of Power vs. Force, that Applied Kinesiology not only offers direct access into the individual subconscious, but also direct access to a collective consciousness, similar to the Jungian idea of the collective unconscious. Extensive research conducted by Dr. Hawkins indicates that accuracy of responses is not limited to the particular individual doing the muscle testing.
Although we are not clear on all the answers, this area of science is beginning to attract a lot of attention by scientists and researchers. Below, you'll find several more recent books and videos on the topic that may clarify kinesiology and muscle testing even further, as many of these scientists have conducted extensive studies on the energetic reactions between objects, thoughts, and intention. One scientist even found that water crystals respond positively or negatively to thoughts, music, printed words, etc. and that water can retain these energetic properties. Very interesting stuff, and worth digging into if it interests you...
