Muscle Testing Music - Applied Kinesiology

Muscle testing is a form of dowsing, as in finding where to drill a well for water with a forked branch. Most chiropractors and some doctors practice muscle testing, and dowsing for water has been around for thousands of years.

Dr. George Goodheart, D.C., a pioneer in applied kinesiology, discovered that every major muscle in the body is related to a specific organ or body function and its corresponding acupuncture meridian. When one of his former students, John Thie, D.C., urged him to write a book, he suggested that Dr. Thie write it himself. TOUCH FOR HEALTH, A NATURAL APPROACH TO HEALING, was published in 1973.

In 1986 Joan Cobb became an instructor/consultant in Touch for Health, now a world-wide network of professional and lay healers. She soon found she could muscle test music to find the percentage of nurturing given to the listener by the composition. Joan finds that by muscle testing the client to find which muscles are weak, and then strengthening them through various techniques, including listening to healing music, it is possible to get the chi energy circulating freely and thus relieve whatever illness the client has.

Joan has found that every muscle and its corresponding organ/meridian has a specific tone within the 12-tone diatonic scale, a tone which is the same for each body part in all people and most animals. By singing or humming this tone, the meridian becomes unblocked so that the chi energy circulation is restored and the health problem is relieved. It is also helpful to determine, through muscle testing or pendulum dowsing, the specific tone of the client, a tone that remains the same throughout life. There are computer programs that can determine the hometone by analyzing the spoken voice of the client. When the client hums or sings this hometone, there is an instant improvement in energy levels. Some clients carry around a tuning fork with them for this purpose!

In his book, YOUR BODY DOESN’T LIE, the distinguished Australian psychiatrist, Dr. John Diamond, the founder of behavioral kinesiology, documents how he has determined the nurturing effect of musical performances by muscle testing a variety of subjects as they listened to different recordings of the same music. He claims that some music, played from the heart, strengthens listeners, while the same music, played mechanically from the brain, can weaken the indicator (the arm) muscle he tested.

When Joan muscle tests music, she either tests live performances of top artists, or she gets the best possible recording available. Then she can determine the nurturing capacity of the music itself by muscle testing the responses of her two brain hemispheres and her heart. Dr. Diamond’s two books, YOUR BODY DOESN’T LIE and LIFE ENERGY, are excellent handbooks on the art and science of muscle testing.
