Muscle Testing Tutorial

So you’ve decided to commit to some self care practices, yay! So proud of you 😘

But where to start? 🤔 I feel you, it’s overwhelming out there, with so many different opinions on what is healthy and what is not. Well, as promised I’ll be rolling out a few suggestions over this next week. So keep your eyes peeled for those 👀

Howevaaa, it is my firmly held belief that we are each of us unique-and what works well for one person, is not necessarily going to be the 🐝s knees for the next. What’s necessary is to come to know ourselves, to be able to tap in and feel what would be most delicious and serve us best in this moment.

And this is where muscle testing comes in. Now, I’m sure plenty of ya’ll have heard about this little trick, but for those of you who have not, here we go: basically muscle testing is a way for you to become fully cognizant and aware of what yes and no feel like in your body.

You start by connecting to your higher self. This can be as simple as taking a few deep breaths and saying “higher self, please fill me now, I open myself to your divine presence and guidance” or as complex as casting a full circle and calling on your angels and guides by name. Whatever you have space for in the moment 😉 Then you place your thumb and index finger in a circle, firmly but not clenching too tight, just so the base of your nail beds turn ever so slightly white, and ask your higher self a yes or no question. If the answer is no, your finger will pretty easily break the circle. If the answer is yes, you won’t be able to break the bond. A lot like life, huh?

This can be used to ask everything under the sun that you would like guidance on from the divine. Just be sure to frame your questions well, something like “higher self, is xyz for the greatest good of all concerned?” The more specific your question, the more specific your answer will be 🙏🏻

The next level is to pay attention to how it feels in your body when you get a no, and what it feels like when you get a yes. Based on these feelings, you eventually won’t even have to use your fingers-you’ll be so familiar with the sensations of divine inspiration that decisions will just flow through you 🌹🌺🌸

Let me know how this works for you in the comments!

So much love bb’s! Happy muscle testing 😘
