How Do We Identify and Decode Them?

The key to identifying trapped emotions lies in the ancient art of Kinesiology — specifically, muscle testing. This powerful technique allows us to communicate directly with the body's innate wisdom, bypassing the conscious mind to access deep truths about our emotional state.

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology, from the Greek words "kinesis" (movement) and "logos" (study), is the scientific study of human movement and muscular function. Applied Kinesiology uses muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism to evaluate the body's structural, chemical, and emotional state.

A Brief History

The foundation of modern Kinesiology was laid by Dr. George Goodheart in 1964 when he discovered that muscle testing could reveal imbalances in the body's energy system. Dr. Goodheart, a chiropractor in Detroit, observed that manual muscle testing could identify not just physical issues, but also nutritional deficiencies and emotional stressors.

In the 1970s, Dr. John Thie developed "Touch for Health," making these techniques accessible to the general public. Later, Dr. Bradley Nelson built upon this work to create "The Emotion Code," which specifically focused on using muscle testing to identify and release trapped emotions.

How Muscle Testing Works

Our subconscious mind knows the truth about what we're feeling and storing in our bodies. Muscle testing provides a binary response system (strong/weak) that allows us to ask yes/no questions/statements and receive accurate answers from the body's wisdom. When we ask about a trapped emotion, the body will respond with either muscle weakness or strength. A strong response in the muscle means the body is strong in response to the statement indicating a positive response, a weak muscle reaction normally indicates a negative response. This can be identified using several techniques, that helps you to focus on your response 'yes' or 'no'. We provide 4 different simple ways in our education centre. Be patient with yourself as this takes a little practice to get, but once you do, it is a tool for life.
