Spiritual Wellness: Muscle Testing – Our Truths Live in Our Cells

I was introduced to the concept of muscle testing by Robert G. Fritchie, author of Surviving Chaos: Healing with Divine Love. Mr. Fritchie suggests that we can use muscle testing to test for the spiritual and physical truths about our personal health because our truths live in our cells. (Here again we see the mind/body/spirit connection)

How does this work? According to Mr. Fritchie, we can perform a simple muscle test using our fingers. These are his instructions:

Using our dominant hand, make a circle with the thumb and index fingers so that the pads of these fingers are touching. I am right handed, so I will use my right hand to make this circle. See diagram below.

Next, take the index finger on the other hand, in this case, my left, and hook it at the point where the fingers of the right hand meet. See the diagrams below.

Now ask yourself a simple question which can be answered with a yes or a no. If the answer is yes then it is hard to pull the ring of the right hand open with the left finger. If the answer is no, then it is easy to break the ring. For example, I asked myself if I had 2 daughters (which I do), and it was difficult for me to break the ring. I then asked myself if I like goat cheese (which I don’t) and it was easy to break the ring. Get the idea?

You will need to practice this method several times until you get the hang of it. Remember it’s not a strength test, so don’t use too much pressure holding that circle together. Continue asking yourself simple questions as you practice and become more familiar and confident with what you are doing. After you practice this several times, try asking your body questions about the spiritual and physical truthfulness of whatever you are being told about your health.

Being able to trust our own body to give us answers is a skill I think is well worth developing. It allows us to use our bodies as our own personal truth filter. Very cool indeed.
