Description of Applied Kinesiology (AK)
Science has not yet developed a measuring device that can bypass a person’s conscious mind and peer into their subconscious so we can get an unbiased look at how free of toxicity our beliefs systems are. For such a window, we use a muscle testing technique called Applied Kinesiology, commonly known as AK. Following is a picture of me testing our model Shelise.
Polygraph tests rely on skin resistance changes. AK measures muscle strength changes that are common in about 90 percent of us:
Despite its ease of use, AK has its share of skeptics and supporters. They have labeled it everything from a pseudo-science to a miracle tool. The reason for the inconsistency is there are a few simple yet powerful ways you can get AK to work for you, and many not-so smart ways you can get pretty disappointed by it.
For example, AK is a second-to-none tool for discovering how much personal freedom you believe you have in your life. You are going to use it repeatedly in that capacity. On the other hand, it has no documentable value when used as a fortune-telling device for trying to predict the lottery, stock outcomes, or even the weather.
Metaphorically, the AK dilemma reminds us of the man who owned a Corvette. Since his vet was such excellent for ground transportation, the man got drunk one night and started thinking that it might actually be able to fly. So he drove his Corvette off a cliff, and as it plunged into the water below, he chastised it for having such mechanical limitations.
That is how it can be with AK. Stick with the ways AK works and you will be delighted with it. Try using it as a tool of divination and you too will label it as a pseudo-science.
While a picture may be worth a thousand words, a good video cements the experience in our minds. As we progress in our workshops, I will present a series of short videos that demonstrate how AK is used to measure a number of our model’s beliefs.

- Muscles test stronger when we are thinking of things that are true and healthy for us.
- They test weaker when we think of things that are not healthy or are not true for us.
