Final Comments on Kinesiology
Kinesiology is like any tool. The more you practice, the better you become at using it. You need a sense of confidence about using this tool, especially when you get some very strange answers to what you thought were pretty straight questions. It helps you get over the initial "this-is-weird-and-the-damned-testing-isn?t-working" stage if you have some confidence in your ability to feel clear positive and negative responses. The only way I know to get over this hump is to practice testing. It is impossible to mentally reason yourself over the hump. Through practice you will develop clarity in your testing, you?ll learn your personal pitfalls and you will fine-tune your technique.
In teaching kinesiology, I have found that something interesting happens to some people when they are learning it. Every block, doubt, question, concern and personal challenge they have, when faced head-on with something perceived as unconventional, comes right to the surface. It is as if the physical tool of kinesiology itself serves to bring to the surface all those hurdles. So they learn kinesiology right away and are using it well. Then, all of a sudden it is not working for them. When they tell me about it, I realize that the thing they do differently now that they didn?t do at first is double-checking their answers—and rechecking, and rechecking, and doing it again, and again. . . . Each time the answers vary or the fingers get mushy and they get definite maybe?s.
Well, again the issue is not the kinesiology. The issue is really why they are suddenly doing all this rechecking business. What has surfaced for them are questions around trust in their own ability, belief that such unconventional things really do happen and are happening to them. They have a sudden lack of self-confidence.
Again, the only way I know to get over this hurdle is to defy it—keep testing. Keep doing the co-creative processes. They all require testing and you will be able to observe the positive results. The successful results, in turn, give you confidence about your testing ability. The other alternative is to succumb and stop developing kinesiology. But that doesn?t really accomplish anything. So in cases like this, I suggest the person keep testing, stop double-checking and take the plunge to go with the first test result. Eventually, what action is taken based on the first test result will verify the accuracy of the test. As I?ve said, from this, your confidence builds. I firmly believe that only clear personal experience and evidence can get us through these kinds of blocks and hurdles—and that means just continuing to go on.
As I have worked through the years to refine my ability to use kinesiology, nature has provided many occasions when I have had to follow through on answers that made no sense at all to me. Doing this and looking at the results with a critical eye is the only way I know to learn about ourselves as kinesiology testers and to discover the different nuances and uses of
kinesiology itself.
One last piece of information: Give yourself about a year to develop a strong confidence with kinesiology. Now, you?ll be able to use it right away. This just takes sticking with your initial efforts until you get those first feelings of positive strength and negative weakness in the circuit fingers. But I have found from my experience and from watching others that it takes about a year of experimentation to fully learn the art of asking accurate yes/no questions and to overcome the hurdles. As one woman said, "You stick with this stuff a year, and boy, what a great thing you end up with!"
