Change Your Mind

Posted on May 13, 2012 by chrisd

If you are involved in a health crisis, your responsibility to create an inner state conducive to healing is as important as your doctor’s responsibility to support your recovery. The doctor does not heal. You heal. Your body heals. Your mind heals. Doctors support the healing process by assisting your body and mind, and creating an environment conducive to healing. Health professionals are in the environment that surrounds you. The environment can help or hinder you, but you have to be involved as well – you are the center of your universe. If you passively wait for the environment to heal you, you are forfeiting your life force; you are basically stepping out of the equation, and letting the concepts in the minds of  busy health professionals take responsibility for the quality your existence.

If you can make your condition worse, then you can make it better. The easiest way to make it better is to not make it worse. You make it worse by worrying. You make it better by changing your mind to work with your body instead of against it.

Healing requires a certain mindset. Unfortunately it is in opposition to the default mindset of our dysfunctional social programming. This means you will have to reprogram your mind (often in the face of authority working against you). This will take effort, as you will need to generate an overpressure of positive ideas constantly moving through your mind.

Goal: Reprogram the way you perceive the world such that a positive overpressure of thought, biased in the direction of creative happiness is second nature.

1.    First you must contact your deep desire for evolution.

The first step is not action – it is desire. If there is no desire to heal, learn or grow, nothing you do can help you.

2.    Read to fill your mind with wonderment and reverence.

Everything you learn forms a neurological pathway in your brain – this becomes your “mind”. Fill it with paths that shatter your mundane world, and lead you beyond yourself.

3.    Self-heal throughout the day to remake your inner image.

What needs to change for your body to smile? Identify and dissolve negative emotion generators (endless loops in your brain/mind that offer excuses to create negative feelings).  The body is a metaphor for the mind – it is designed to mimic the mind; to form itself in the image of the mind. Respect the design. Be vigilant to negativity viruses seeking to build a nest in your mind.  See yourself as you want to be. Allow the world to pass through you.

4.    Engage in service to others to externalize your creative energy.

If the biggest thing in your life is you, then depression is inevitable.  Identify your reason for being – your purpose. Marshal your life in this direction.

The Joy of Bias

Posted on May 13, 2012 by chrisd

Bias is essential for healing. Life is biased towards sustaining itself – it is not “objective” about its existence. This is known as the survival instinct. The evening news will not report that we have the ability to heal by tapping into the universal life force – this must come from you. “Objective scientifically proven” concepts regarding healing are often a hindrance to our ability to heal – they restrict our imagination – a tool that can be harnessed for healing.

There are infinite ways to perceive things – each one biased to individual perspectives, and patterns of mind. The paths we walk are paved with biased beliefs that hinder or support us. Here’s a biased perspective: we do not live in an “objective” world – we live a subjective existence.  Attempts to remain objectively detached or “scientific” about life only cause isolation and illness; as the definition of the world includes us.  Trying to tear oneself out of the picture, rips the fabric of life apart. As organisms living in an environment, both are intimately defined by the other. Owning this idea will bias you in a direction that heals. Don’t wait for the news to tell you it’s “true”.

In a world infested with biased, dysfunctional programming, if we wait for approval to believe something that could help us, we are enslaved, and our lives become hijacked in service to another’s agenda. If we wish to live a healthy life of respect and creative expression, then we can’t wait for “unbiased reporting” from the media to tell us it’s ok to think of the world as we wish to.  We have to create the bias ourselves.

There’s an expert for every bias – so your pick your paradigm. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel and fight against the current restrictive ideas of society.  Fortunately our Information Age provides us ample experts who have already cut these paths for us. All we need to do is choose our path, and start learning.

If you are currently involved in a health crisis, make use of all that is available to you to regain your health – do not take sides, or condemn entire bodies of knowledge. Remember that everything works if it’s what you need (if you don’t need a particular therapy, then it won’t work for you – this doesn’t mean the therapy “doesn’t work”). Instead seek to understand your condition, and look for ways to affect it positively.

The more you understand, the more options you create

Regardless of the help you receive from others, your health is ultimate your responsibility by design. Don’t view this as a burden, but rather an opportunity. Your body is a metaphor for your mind. A major aspect of health is your state of mind. If your mind has not decided to be healthy, you will not heal. You may need to change your mind – to reprogram (bias) it with healing software. This may take a great deal of effort, but in the process you may find that your life can flower.

Muscle Testing for Psychic Assessment

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

So now we enter into the “hocus pocus” realm. As in all uses of Muscle Response Testing (MRT), the major issue is where you “go” for the information – where do you put the locus of your focus? It needs to be somewhere where there is intelligent life… because the venom ain’t talkin’! Focusing in someone’s joint, liver or emotional body works, but it can be harder to focus with inanimate objects. For purely psychic reading, you need to be in your dispassionate mental center or higher (the higher your vibration the better). Try it out yourself – different people have different strengths and abilities.

For psychic work, as with all of these uses, you have to have some basic skills and understanding.  MRT will not do the psychic thing for you, if you have not developed basic skills in dispassionate reading and interpreting intuitive information. Don’t think this stuff is beyond you – if you can daydream, you can develop these skills… it’s “applied daydreaming”. Once the skills are developed, you can augment your psychic tools with a refined version of MRT.

Warning: if your first experience with MRT is in psychic training, you are in the highest risk category for self delusion regarding interpreting MRT results… but don’t worry, many nutritional testers are close behind you. The point here is to get some experience in the different realms of MRT usage, so that you become a source of clarity instead of adding to the confusions and delusions.

Muscle Testing for Emotional Assessment

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

MRT can be very effective, and surprisingly accurate in assessing emotional issues – but only to the degree that the doctor is balanced (not triggered by the patient’s issues) and clearly focused.  The key here is learning how to put one’s emotional bias aside, and to dispassionately tune into another person’s emotional reality. A very opinionated doctor, bent on proving how right they are all the time would be very challenged in this skill (though they would not be aware of their own bias).  You will find that you can just as easily tune into someone sitting next to you, as you can to someone on the phone; so this type of work begins to bring up tangible examples of quantum entanglement.

Muscle Testing for Nutritional Assessment

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

When you start to move away from strict neuromuscluar issues, you more and more enter the realm of the mind. Even with nutritional testing on the tongue, there is still an idea mixed in with the saliva; from either the doctor or the patient – and they may have different ideas about nutrition.

MRT can be used very effectively with nutrition testing, even if the doctor believes “the body can sense snake venom from salt water“. The doctor must stay focused on the protocol, and be very clear what is being asked of the intelligence of the body being evaluated.  The doctor’s knowledge of biochemistry is the key ingredient in MRT for nutritional needs.

Every nutritional protocol has its own perspective on what things mean.  Generally speaking, MRT for nutritional testing is only as good as the knowledge base of the practitioner who is testing a patient. Some healing systems that use MRT, do not recommend using it to evaluate nutritional needs; since they recognize that there are many variables at play, that can not routinely be controlled. Working with human beings is not as black & white as simple math problems; as we are dealing with consciousness in perpetual flux. Recognizing this, certain systems attempt to minimize randomness in their MRT protocols.

One nutritional evaluation protocol with a built-in knowledge base is Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA). The focus of this system is on the electromagnetic (EM) nature of MRT (keep in mind that more is at play than just EM energy).  Steps are taken to clear the body’s EM field during the protocol, and then the protocol is aimed at evaluating the EM energy running through the body’s organ meridian system. Nutritional supplementation is then selected specifically for deficiencies identified via individual organ meridians.

Ultimately the value of MRT for nutrition assessment is best evaluated after the results are in (did using MRT to evaluate nutritional needs actually help over time?).

Muscle Testing for Musculoskeletal Assessment

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

The easiest and most accurate MRT is that performed to assess musculoskeletal issues (ex: how to apply a physical manipulative therapy to a specific area).  The reason for this is because you are operating within the nature of MRT: ideomotor action is all about the neuromuscular system.  With MRT there is always an idea associated with the test.  Merely touching an area of trauma is not going to make all the muscles go weak – there needs to be a question on the muscle; such as “is there a problem here?”. We often hold an injured area for support as we use it – this supports the area vs making everything go weak.

It does not serve the body’s survival programming to neurologically weaken all the body’s muscles at a time when we may need both injury support and strength.  In fact we are actually programmed to hold an injured area for support.  MRT shows a weakened muscle only when the intent of the therapist is looking for a problem. Once a problem is identified, we can move the tissue of the injured area in different directions to see which way strengthens the MRT. Once again we see that touching an injured area produces a strengthening, not a weakening.  MRT requires a question.

Even with the most basic medical neurological muscle strength testing, the idea shared by doctor and patient is to “hold as strong as you can”, in order to evaluate how well nerve signals are getting to the muscle. A distracted patient can not do this – a focus needs to be held. Everything human beings do requires an intent and focus – this is not a reason to discount MRT, it is just the way things work in our bodies – so we make use of this mechanism as a therapeutic tool.

The Particle/Wave Experiment

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

Photons behave like Gary Larson’s cows…

From Gary Larsen's "The Far Side"

For muscle testing to “work” the practitioner must realize the subjective nature of their experience, and discipline their mind to become neutral and focused – just like any doctor  must do to determine what is wrong with a patient; there are a lot of considerations to weigh.  Just as any doctor performing an exam can be misled by their own bias, so can the muscle tester (since muscle testing is an extension of one’s intuition).  Neither the process of muscle testing, nor the medical degree are magical tools that can be operated mindlessly.

Science is well aware of the subjectivity of consciousness, this is the whole purpose for double-blind, placebo controlled studies of phenomena… but this form of scientific inquiry is not always appropriate for every subject. This form of study misses the essence of muscle testing – it does not address the mechanism by which it works.

The quantum double slit experiment illustrates the particle/wave nature of matter, as well as the fact that the observer affects what is observed. In other words: we do not see things “objectively”, but rather “subjectively”. We do not simply “look” at something… we “observe” with an intent. We are always looking for something, and interpreting what we see – giving “meaning” to otherwise meaningless events. Our very presence creates “sound” for a tree falling in the forest. Our intent not only affects how we interpret what we see – it actually changes what we see!

This is a very tangible aspect of life that we experience all the time in how we relate to others. If we hold a space for another that they are wonderful and can do no wrong, then they do wonders. However, if we hold a space for them such that they are wrong, then they can do no right. These concepts are essential to understanding the nature of muscle response testing … it is a conscious phenomenon.

When no one is watching the experiment:

When scientist record data without observing the experiment, photons act as waves of energy.

Quantum Physics Applied to Muscle Testing

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

Muscle Response Testing (MRT) is a conscious phenomenon. It has generally been the experience of scientific thinkers that the laws governing the physical and psychic (mental) realms are different. This is part of why society split knowledge of the universe into the two realms of science and religion; and science again split its realm into “hard” (physical science) and “fuzzy” (psychological science).  Modern quantum mechanics (QM) is bringing the two back together; in part by recognizing that both physical and psychological are manifestations of energy.

The definition of “quantum” that I am using for MRT is: “the smallest quantity of some physical property, such as energy”. The physics of the quantum level of matter (much smaller than atoms) is very different story from the gross/tangible level of matter (the Newtonian physics of objects we can see and touch).

One of the key aspects of QM is a realm of infinite possibilities (the wave state of reality). Conscious awareness influences this wave property in such a way that “collapses” the wave function, and brings into manifested existence (physical experience) only one particular possibility (the particle state, or what physically manifests) . Strange as it sounds to our old social programming about what makes the world go ’round, there are scientific experiments that proved these concepts.

In a nut shell: QM states that consciousness influences matter.  Physical science says there is only matter and energy in the universe; and Einstein determined long ago, that matter is just another form of energy. Consciousness is also energy (since it’s not matter, it has to be energy); and so both matter and energy share the same language.

QM Concepts that Apply to MRT:

1.      Matter has a particle/wave nature. The wave aspect represents the realm of possibilities, and the particle represents the realm of manifestation (or what actually happens when something is measured).

2.      Observation affects what is observed. We are not separated from our environment or other people. There is something not physically obvious connecting (and serving as a means to influence) everything.

3.      Quantum Entanglement. Two different things can be connected in a way that is not physically obvious; and they can affect each other from a distance.

Hocus Pocus Focus Locus

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

The magic or the delusion is revealed in your attention

Our scientific community prides itself on its achievements, which are certainly notable; but the more we learn, the more we realize we don’t know. We figured out that “matter” is really energy, and we proved this with an atomic bomb. This tends to make us think we’ve got the universe figured out. Then we performed the the particle/wave experiment and found that photons behaved like Larsen’s cows: doing one thing when we watch them and another when we turn our backs.

 

A Little Science Goes a Long Way

Science is the study of the nature of our universe. It’s obviously not all physical because our physical bodies think and feel and sometimes do other out-of-the-blue type things we find hard to describe. These out-of-the-blue things are not to be brushed off as “flukes”; rather, they are clues to a greater understanding how our universe works.  The closer we look, the stranger the universe becomes.  We used to think our traditional scientific method was the epitome of objective inquiry… then along came quantum mechanics, and now we find that we have been pseudoscientists the whole time! We need to learn how to see things for what they are, because things are not as they seem.

Muscle testing is an excellent way to experience both the hardwired integration of your body and nervous system, and quantum reality first hand!  You may think life science is black & white, but anything that involves consciousness becomes a language filled with connotation and subtly – where one little difference makes all the difference. Like everything else in our universe, the details matter.

At the root of all MRT failures is a misunderstanding of the nature of MRT, inflamed by delusions of grandeur.  It’s quite easy to fall into this misunderstanding, especially if you are new to the whole “talk to the body” thing.  A skillful MRT practitioner is grounded in the “hard” science of nerve and body, yet flexible and “realistic” in the “soft” science of mind and Self.

 

Hard Science

The hard science involves a general understanding that the nervous system is involved in every minute thing we become aware of… “awareness” means some stimulus entered the nervous system; and now it will not only need to be processed in some way, but it will somehow influence everything about you (consciously or subconsciously). Nerve information are binary (on/off) electrochemical signals traveling through nerves, the way electrons travel through wires. In order to keep the whole body up to speed real-time, nerve signals spread out in networks, rather than going straight from point A to point B:

sensation (nerve ending/receptor stimulation) > nerve/reflex (digitally encoded impulse) > brain (processing) > nerve > muscle response > nerve (feedback)> brain [processing]…

Even though the nerve signals go from A to B, realize they also go everywhere in between along the way.

What you might experience as “aches and pains” have very specific neuromuscular causes, that MRT can help identify quickly and easily.

 

Soft Science

The soft science involves a general understanding of mental/emotion release (energy psychology), intuition (psychic stuff), and spirituality.  A key concept involves how we store information in our “bodies” (nervous system). When you experience an event, all of the sense information (from your five senses, as well as your internal feelings at the moment) associated with that event are stored as a network of nerve pathways in your brain. In real-time little nerve fingers (dentrites) make connections with other nerves, as the event is encoded. Many experiences are similar, and so they use similar pathways.  This is also why a present event can trigger the feelings from past events.  In addition to the sensory encoded event, the mind adds a meaning to the event (“good” or “bad” depending on how it supports or hinders your survival at the moment):

event > sense stimulation (stored as nerve patterns) + meaning (attached by your sub/conscious mind)

These memories and meanings are some of the things MRT can help identify, so that various therapies can be used to clear negative patterns, and free up your inner space.

Mind Your Mind

Posted on April 16, 2012 by chrisd

It is human design to instinctively create a meaning for all events we experience – even for things that are meaningless. Muscle response testing is a conscious phenomenon – meaning it involves the mind and all the mind’s nuances. Though it operates through physiology (mind > nervous system > muscle), it does not work if “no one’s home”. It does not work if you are distracted, not present, or totally clueless as to what is being asked of you (as in a “double-blind, placebo controlled” scientific experiment).  In addition to a nerve and a muscle, it requires a clear question posed to an alert, focused mind. Muscle testing is essentially asking the subconscious to respond to something in a tangible way (via a muscle response).  A muscle response without the context of a question is meaningless. Is it any wonder why double-blind research often concludes that MRT is a random phenomenon? “GIGO” is a computing term that means Garbage In, Garbage Out.  If a researcher throws random stimuli at someone and tests their muscle response, the results will signify zip.  MRT tests a question posed to a mind; it is not a knee-jerk reflex that can be performed on an unconscious or unaware person.

Its All in Your Head

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it fall, does it make a sound? No.  A “sound” requires an eardrum and a nervous system. The falling tree makes a vibration, which is carried in the wind as ripples of compressed air molecules… totally silent until the vibrating air molecules hit an eardrum, causing a nerve impulse to be fired off to a brain, that is able to interpret the electrochemical signal as “sound”.

In the same way: if a muscle is tested, and no one knows anything, do you get an accurate reading? No. You only know if the nerve and muscle function is working.  It means nothing.  For a muscle test to mean something, the mind of the patient has to be asked a question, to which the body intelligence can respond.

The jury is still out regarding the degree to which the human nervous system / psyche is sensitive enough to the subtle vibrations inherent in matter to be able to detect and respond to it via muscle testing. In my observations the muscle is often not responding to the subtle vibrations of a unknown something hidden in a bottle (for most of us, our vibration receptors are not that sensitive). The patient’s muscle is responding to a mental stimulus – a concept, protocol or question placed in one’s mind by the doctor – exactly as if the doctor asked the patient a question. The same applies if the concept is held in the mind of the doctor (if nothing is said to the patient). Still MRT has value when testing the body’s response to substances: instead of getting a response from the patient’s conscious mind, a response arises from the subconscious intelligence of the body. This concept is interpreted by the patient’s subconscious mind… and it is to this interpretation that the muscle responds.

The human psychosomatic instrument is sensitive to an infinite number of subtle inputs in each moment; and the sum total of this input influences a behavioral output (read Gladwell’s “Blink”).  What makes us “suggestible” also makes us aware. What allows “placebos” also allows pain control.  The point is not to condemn suggestibility or the nuances of the psyche, but rather understand what these things are teaching us about how we work. The more we understand, the better we are able to put these insights to practical use. With this in mind, read the following article, “Made-up Minds”, and keep it’s lessons in the back of your mind when you hear “scientific” theories, both pro and con.

Muscle Testing Validation (PDF): A study published by Perceptual and Motor Skills (1999). “Significant differences were found in muscle test responses between congruent and incongruent semantic stimuli”.
