PK – PERSONAL KINESIOLOGY

Personal Kinesiology, or PK, is my term for the system of muscle testing that I
use when helping clients to fine-tune their needs.  I teach them to use it for
themselves and encourage them to do so in every aspect of their lives.

I was first introduced to Kinesiology through my chiropractor.  The traditional
method is for the subject to extend the arm and then the doctor will apply
pressure while the subject resists.  The person applying the pressure will ask
a question, or have the subject hold an item, and then test the arm.  If an
item, like white sugar is held, the arm will go weak.  No amount of resistance
will allow the muscles to hold.  If the subject then holds a piece of fruit, the
most likely outcome will be that the strength returns and the arm remains
strong, able to resist the light pressure applied by the practitioner.

As time went on, the technique took on a more personal aspect.  It is nice to
be able to talk to your body or your Higher Self without the aid of a second
person, so someone figured out a way.  It is done by forming a circuit with the
thumb and forefinger of each hand, and then interlocking them, like a paper
chain when you were a child.

But before you begin, there is one step that must come first - the Thymus
Thump.  The pressure point for the thymus gland is located between the
collarbone and the breastbone.  Gently thump the fingers of one hand
against this area.  If there is any soreness, continue thumping and rubbing
until the soreness is gone.  The first time I did it, it took three days to get rid
of all the tenderness!

If there is any soreness in this area, the use of PK will not be accurate.  I now
use The Elevation Technique instead.  You can find the details at
www.

.  The Elevation Technique releases blocks
along all the meridians of the body.  You may need to do it a few times at
first, in order to clear all blockages and begin to get correct responses.

Once the Thymus Thump is complete, it is time to consult your body.  The
writing hand is the mobile component, while the other hand remains stable.  
First I like people to link their fingers, then gently pull them apart.  I am right-
handed, so my right thumb and forefinger remain touching through the entire
process.  When I pull, the left thumb and forefinger give way and separate.  
DO NOT LOCK YOUR FINGERS TOGETHER.  Do not make them rigid or
bend the first joints of your fingers, just relax.  Men tend to overdo it.  I tell
them this is not a test of strength.  If you can pull a piece of paper from
between your fingers you will have the right amount of tension.

The basis of PK is that a “yes” or positive answer is one where the circuit is
not broken and the hands remain linked.  A “no” or negative answer breaks
the circuit and allows the dominant hand to pull through the opposite link.  
Some people use different signal, but if you start this way, it will always work.

Previously we have established how little force is involved in this.  Now we
want to demonstrate how it actually works.  I suggest that people use their full
first name, not a nickname, and ask, “Is my name James?”  They should get
a strong, linked response to that question.  Next, I ask them to pull a name
out of a hat and ask again.  If James asked, “Is my name Maurice?” he
should get a release response indicating “no.”  This serves to establish the
technique of PK in the mind of the user.

From here on, it is a simple matter of asking the question correctly.  You can
ask about anything that pertains to yourself, as your Higher Self is the source
of the information.  If you wish to ask for someone else, with his or her
permission, you may do so.  If they are uncomfortable or unable to use PK,
simply have the subject put their hand on your non-dominant wrist or arm.  It
is not always necessary, but it helps to make them feel they are taking an
active role in the process.

In this manner, you can ask if a therapy or a particular supplement will be
effective for yourself or the subject.  It is important to establish clearly in your
mind who you are asking for and to ask only one question at a time, phrased
in a manner that will give a “yes” or “no” response.  Be very specific.  Don’t
ask, “Will vitamin A be good here?”  Rather, “Considering my current state of
health, will the addition of vitamin A to my diet help to improve my condition?”  
If the answer is positive/strong, then proceed to the next phase of the same
question, “I want to establish the dosage that would be most helpful right
now.  I expect a ‘no’ response when I have exceeded the dosage needed on
a daily basis.”  Then you will proceed to ask about the dosage in increments.  
Vitamin A is usually packaged in pills of 10,000 IUs.  If you have the bottle
with you and can focus on it, just ask, “One pill, two pills,” etc.  If not, then
ask, “ten thousand, twenty thousand,” etc.  You can trust the answer
because it comes from within your self.

I like to do a monthly, or sometimes even a weekly, update on my vitamins to
make sure that I am getting what I need, not too much or too little.  To
determine if I have everything I need, I will often pull out my list of available
supplements and ask my High Self if I need anything else from the list.  If I get
a positive response, then I focus on the name of each supplement and ask if
I need to add it to my program of supplements.

I recently asked about a particular face cream and was told “no,” but I wanted
to try it anyway.  I did and I couldn't stand it!  I washed it off right away!  It was
just another lesson in trust for me.


I will be giving a class in many different types of PK.  Please check
