Abstract

Modern day muscle testing (MT) is reported to help to access intuitive awarenesses of oneself and of other people. MT is used by many complementary/ alternative therapists to help people identify unconscious information that is of assistance in assessing their problems and deciding on treatments. Research has not confirmed the efficacy of MT. This article discusses varieties of issues that may help to understand the complexities of MT and how left brain hemisphere research might be designed to accommodate to right brain hemispheric experiences. Included are lessons from Energy Psychology, biofeedback, hypnotherapy, bioenergy therapies, intuition and dowsing.
