To Muscle Test Or Not?
I often get email asking me questions about this or that aspect of energy therapy and coaching practice. While I don’t have the time to answer all queries, one posted in my Quantum Flow Bioenergetics forum was wide-spread enough a problem that I answered it there and am reposting it here.

Reader "A" from Egypt writes in: "About 4 days ago after much success using energy methods, my muscle tests started coming back weak. I tried it on my name and some facts about me and also all the tests were weak. I tried every possible way to correct that problem and nothing happened. I tried EFT, BSFF, drinking alot of water, Collarbone breathing, psychological reversals, TAT and TLR Appreciation but also, nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?"
Hi A–, You said this happened four days ago and you had done Collarbone breathing and it hadn’t worked. Collarbone Breathing takes about four to six weeks of steady practice (at least 3x a day) to work well, so you might want to apply this technique over again.
I personally do not use muscle testing that much in self-work, as so very many things can throw it off: energy toxins that include certain foods, improper amount of sleep, geopathic or earth-related stress such as being too near a powerful volcanic area, earthquake fault or other earth related anomaly - even going under high power lines, or having a firm negative mindset on an issue can scramble your energy and mess up a circuit (muscle) test.
I have learned to tune into my whole bodymind, ask it questions and wait patiently (never very long) for the often-subtle indicators that tell me which way to go. Indicators can be a muscle twitching, a sudden desire to shift position, needing to take a deep breath - they will differ for everyone, yours will be unique to you. I find this method superior to standard muscle testing, though it is nearly impossible to "teach" as such. Simply pay attention to your body and anything that happens in it when you calm yourself, sit quietly and ask it one question at a time. Come to know its responses and you’ll be able to tell what the shifts mean to you.
I would also suggest watching what you eat. Avoid caffiene (coffee, tea & sodas), processed foods, plus wheat, sugar and milk - three of the biggest allergens and energy toxins. Also, three times daily practice of Cross Crawls, Cook’s Hookup and the Bellybutton Correction exercises from now on for you until this condition resolves. You can find these here at our website:

If you still feel you need muscle test confirmation, you might also ask a friend to test you - sometimes our self-tests can be thrown off by things like I mention above while a friend may be much clearer. Both of you should drink water and do the above exercises before trying to muscle test each other.
I also take messages from the Universe when things like this happen.
When I get too dependant upon a particular method, then sometimes the method will cease to work - or so it might appear - to teach me how to grow past it.
You may want to consider just pressing ahead with for instance, EFT: "Even though EFT is not working for me right now, I am tapping…Even though it seems like I am wasting my time, I’m tapping on that…" and so on.
Or, you might prefer to just take a break and give all of the personal growth "work" a rest for some time.
Relax and meditate on the best course of action. Listen to your body.
And good luck to you!
Warmly, Maryam Webster
