Troubleshooting Kinesiology
Suppose the testing has been working fine, and then suddenly you can?t get a clear result (what I call a "definite maybe") or get no result at all. Check the following:
1. SLOPPY TESTING. You press apart the fingers before applying pressure between the circuit fingers. This happens most often when we have been testing for awhile and become over-confident or do the testing too quickly. I think it happens to all of us from time to time and serves to remind us to keep our attention on the matter at hand. (Excuse the pun.)
Especially in the beginning, start a kinesiology session by "warming up"—that is, feel a few positive and negative responses. Ask yourself some of those obvious questions. Or simply say several times, "Let me feel a positive." (Test.) "Let me feel a negative." (Test.) This warm-up will remind you what positive and negative responses feel like before you start.
2. EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS. Trying to test in a noisy or active area can cause you to lose concentration. The testing will feel unsure or contradict itself if you double-check the results. Often, simply moving to a quiet, calm spot and concentrating on what you are doing will be just what?s needed for successful testing.
3. FOCUS OR CONCENTRATION. Even in a quiet spot, one?s mind may wander and the testing will feel fuzzy, weak or contradictory. It is important to concentrate throughout the process. Check how you are feeling. If you?re tired, I suggest you not try to test until you have rested a bit. And if you have to go to the bathroom, do it. That little situation is a sure concentration-destroyer.
4. THE QUESTION ISN'T CLEAR. A key to kinesiology is asking a simple yes/no question, not two questions in one, each having a possible yes/no answer. If your testing isn?t working, first check your hand positions. Next, review your question, and make sure you are asking only one question. And, while you?re asking a question, don?t think ahead to the next question! Your fingers won?t know which to answer.
5. WATCH YOUR INTENT WITH HOW YOU WORD THE QUESTION. If you are prone to saying, "Oh, I didn?t mean to say that!" when you talk to others, this might be an area you need to work on.
A woman at one of our workshops asked me about some strange answers she had gotten about what to feed her cat. She had asked, "What kinds of food would make my cat happy?" She got some pretty weird answers like chocolate, catnip, steak. . . . I pointed out that she probably asked the wrong question. She meant to ask nature what foods would make her cat healthy. She was a little surprised. She thought that this was the question she had originally asked. In short, her question and her intent did not match.
6. YOU MUST WANT TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE TEST. If you enter a kinesiology test not wanting to "hear" the answer, for whatever reason, you can override the test with your emotions and your will. This is true for conventional situations as well. If you really don?t want something to work for you, it won?t work. That?s our personal power dictating the outcome.
Also, if you are trying to do testing during a situation that is especially emotional for you, that deeply stirs your emotions, or if you are trying to ask a question in which you have a strong, personal investment in the answer, I suggest that you not test until you are calmer or get some emotional distance from the situation. During such times, you are walking a very fine line between a clear test and a test that your desires are overriding. Kinesiology as a tool is not the issue here. It is the condition or intent of the tester.
7. CONTRADICTORY RESULTS. If your testing has been going along just fine and you suddenly begin to get contradictory or "mushy" test results, consider that this may not be a good day for you to do this particular work. Or you may need to drink water. If you are dehydrated, your electrical system will feel weak during kinesiology testing.
