A lot of therapists see muscle testing (kinesiology) and get really excited by it. They often attend short courses that focus on what you can do with muscle testing (allergy testing, dealing with stress, etc.), but don't teach the participants to muscle test properly. Colleague Maggie La Tourelle says that she's not surprised that kinesiology comes in for a lot of criticism, because so many people are doing it so badly.
If you are a tehrapist and want to learn to test more accurately, why not attend her 2 day course in London in March.
This is what Maggie says about the course:
This 2 day course has been designed for therapists, counsellors and students who are also trained or training in energy and meridian therapies such as EFT, TFT, Seemorg Matrix etc. It aims to provide you with muscle testing skills that will enable you to work more effectively and precisely with your clients. It addresses the complications that can arise when muscle testing and teaches protocols and additional tests that ensure accurate and reliable results. In addition you learn a range of wonderful healing and balancing kinesiology techniques that you can use yourself and apply and teach to your clients. You have the opportunity to practice applying all that you have learned to your own therapy modality.
If you're not a therapist but would like to learn some muscle testing, Maggie runs a one-day Discovering Kinesiology workshop.
