When I teach my reiki courses, on the first day I always try to have one session of either body/muscle testing or pendulum. It is amazing to watch people test with that for the first time! They go wild eye amazed at the ease of it and the uncanny simplistic approach to complex questions.
Recently I did some of the techniques on a friend over her vitamin choice. She stopped taking them. She asked three questions.
Are these vitamins the best ones for me?
Are they hurting me?
Can I continue taking them?
She got a no, no and yes... but felt like if she stopped these vitamins she could now go to the store and find some that were in better rhythm to her physical needs.
This is a simple full body muscle test.
- Stand up tall, now relax your shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Take a deep breathe in and sort of sway front to back side to side.
- Now ask to be shown a yes and let your body either lean forward or backward. Usually forward means yes, backward means no.
- If you are asking about a simple object that can be held easily like vitamins hold them in your hands in front of you and ask. For more complex situations either hold the paper contract or agreement, or just concentrate on the situation while asking the question.
- Make you questions into easy yes no statements. Just like 20 questions get your yes or no and then slowly reduce it down. Often a strong No can mean not at this time, or until you change your approach.
I often notice while I am doing this it only confirms my own thoughts, but it also allows me to get more in touch with what I clearly already know. It can be a great tool to get more focused on finding a solution to how to do something.
