Applied Kinesiology and its evolution - page 3

“Kinesiology” is often reduced to a parlor trick where the tester is using the strength of someone’s arm (usually in a non-specific pull-down test) to demonstrate the effect of some product or device (often that they are trying to sell). Whether the product or device is valuable not, this type of test leaves a lot of room for question.

There are various forms of “kinesiology” that have been developed that focus on only one side of the triad. Many of these help people, and that is a wonderful thing. Where difficulties begin is where, for example, a practitioner is looking for an emotional cause for a problem when the patient is suffering from a thyroid chemical imbalance that has caused excessive emotional behavior; or the doctor is trying to correct candidiases, giving all the right supplements and the patient cannot produce enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach due to thoracic spinal misalignment and cranial due to a whiplash injury.

Applied kinesiology, or holographic kinesiology (which I practice), or educational kinesiology (insert your favorite here), are all excellent evaluation tools. And yet they are only as great as the question you can ask, based on your knowledge.

“Applying” kinesiology to the spiritual realm is another matter. I once designed an experiment with a well-trained colleague to test various unknowns using muscle testing to “remote view”. Our answers (the testers were blinded to variables) averaged no better than guessing. What does that say about using kinesiology to explore unknown realms? Maybe the test is only as good as the testers’ ability to see beyond present time.

Further investigation is required with people proven to be reliable as valid remote viewer because if it is impossible to check on the validity of a test we must, as true scientists, take care not to treat it like science “fact.” All of the AK principles can be, and have been, checked with other means of investigation. Holographically I practice with the hypotheses that the soul directs the DNA (we know environment does - see Dr. Bruce Lipton’s work), and that the mind and its choices affect all of the above. I have based this hypothesis in phenomena I have directly experienced, and which I have witnessed other people who practice active forms of meditation and focus experience).

With so many types of kinesiology out there what is one to do? Start your information search at www.ICAK.com . This is the original organization based on Dr. Goodheart’s work. They try to maintain the highest of educational and scientific integrity, and are the only kinesiology organization that requires passing a test at the end of a course. They have various levels of “certification.” As with any organization they have their limitations, but it is a good place to start. Also Dr. Robert Blaich D.C. DIBAK has an excellent book on AK for the public available through my office. Find a good AK doctor and go get tested for what ails – and heals you.

To your health,
