Understanding muscle testing: A Gateway to Emotional Healing

At Sonnavera, we integrate muscle testing into our sessions as a powerful tool for uncovering and releasing emotional blocks. But what exactly is muscle testing, and how can it help you? This article will explain the process and how it fits into our approach to holistic healing.

What is Muscle Testing?

Muscle testing, also known as kinesiology, is a technique used to communicate directly with the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind holds vast amounts of information about our emotional, physical, and energetic states. Through muscle testing, we can access this information and identify the root causes of emotional imbalances that may be contributing to your discomfort.

Muscle testing involves gently applying pressure to a muscle (typically a finger, arm, or hand), and the response of the muscle reveals whether the body is in alignment or experiencing resistance. A strong muscle response indicates alignment or truth, while a weak response suggests resistance, imbalance, or blocked energy.

How Does Muscle Testing Work?

In our sessions, I use proxy muscle testing. This means that instead of testing directly on your body, I connect to your energy field and perform the muscle test on myself. This allows me to access your subconscious mind and receive insights without needing to physically touch you. This process is incredibly effective and enables us to identify what is going on energetically for you without having to delve deeply into verbal analysis.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how muscle testing works in a session:

  1. Setting the Intention: Before I begin the muscle test, I will ask for your consent to connect to your energy. This ensures that we are both in alignment and that you’re comfortable with the process.
  2. Muscle Test on Myself: I will test by applying gentle pressure to a muscle on my own body (usually my arm or fingers). The response of my muscle, whether strong or weak, will give me the information about your energetic state.
  3. Energy Connection: Through the muscle test, I connect to your energy field. The strength or weakness of my muscle response provides a signal about whether certain emotional imbalances, trauma, or limiting beliefs are present in your energy field.
  4. Identify Specific Issues: Using muscle testing, we identify trapped emotions, limiting beliefs, unresolved trauma, or other energetic blockages that may be contributing to how you’re feeling.
  5. Confirmation: Once we identify an emotional block, I use the muscle test to confirm the details—such as the age when the emotion became trapped, the event or relationship connected to it, and whether additional layers of emotion are present.

Why Proxy Testing?

The concept of proxy testing (testing on my body rather than directly on yours) may sound unusual, but it is based on the idea that energy is not bound by physical distance. By connecting to your energy field, I can tap into the information stored in your subconscious mind, just as if you were physically present during the test. It’s a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to receive accurate insights.

This method allows us to bypass the conscious mind, which often filters out or ignores certain information. By testing on myself, I’m able to access the deeper, subconscious level of your energy field, revealing the emotional imbalances that need attention.

What Happens During Muscle Testing?

Here’s what happens during a typical session:

  • Trapped Emotions: These are unresolved emotional experiences that stay with us long after the event has passed. They might be contributing to stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort.
  • Limiting Beliefs: These beliefs often come from past experiences, family dynamics, or societal conditioning, and they may prevent you from moving forward in your life.
  • Unresolved Trauma: Past traumatic events can cause emotional or physical pain that persists in our energy field. Muscle testing helps identify and release these emotional blocks.

Once we identify these emotional blocks, I use muscle testing to determine the most effective healing technique to release them. This could include sound healing, acuvibration, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or other energy healing methods.

The Benefits of Muscle Testing in Emotional Healing

  1. Accessing the Subconscious Mind: Muscle testing allows us to bypass the conscious mind and access the deeper layers of the subconscious. This helps identify emotional imbalances that may not be immediately apparent.
  2. Personalized Healing: Muscle testing is tailored to each individual, providing insights into the specific emotional blocks that are relevant to you. This ensures that the healing process is unique and effective for your needs.
  3. Non-Invasive: Unlike traditional physical treatments, muscle testing is a gentle and non-invasive method of accessing and understanding the body’s energy. It does not require physical manipulation or lengthy verbal discussions.
  4. Empowering: By using muscle testing, you can uncover emotional imbalances that may be holding you back. Once these blocks are identified, you are empowered to release them and move forward in your healing journey.
