I do exactly the same! In fact my best remedies/advice come from when I muscle test instead of using my "mental" knowledge only. The body has a wisdom that no specialist can surpass!mada85 said:I also successfully dowse for music, homeopathic remedies, and Bach flower remedies (which some practitioners consider close to heresy!).
That proves that you are open-minded enough to try any remedy, otherwise that kind of suggestion would not even come up! I've noticed that the more I open to new ideas on the SOTT, etc., the more my muscle test comes up with unexpected things. In fact, at the very beginning of my study of Health Kinesiology, I always had surprising results, then, with the hammering of certain concepts, the inevitable influence of my teachers in this field, it stopped and my HK became very 'middle of the road'. Then with different readings, after working on myself more and by reading the SOTT, I began noticing a change back to a more open HK. As Laura said in Secret History, knowledge protects, but the wrong kind of knowledge may actually be worse than no knowledge at all.mada85 said:I always dowse for the best healing modality when I need healing, sometimes with quite surprising answers. For example, as a twenty-year user of homeopathic, herbal or Chinese remedies, I was surprised when my dowsing suggested Nurofen (ibuprofen) for an aching stiffness in my right hip.
I bet that if she had a cat instead, it would have loved to sleep somewhere on that line. Cats behave in the exact opposite of dogs, etc. when it comes to geopathic stress: they very often love it. It's a trick used by some 'geopathic stress specialists' (if I may say): watch where the cat sleeps!mada85 said:I've experimented with rod dowsing but much prefer pendulum dowsing. One can in fact dowse for geopathic stress lines, using either rods or a pendulum. I found a line in my flat. It is about 16 inches/40 cm wide. My daughter had been keeping her pet hamster's cage in the line, and this hamster died after only a few weeks. After I discovered the stress line, the next hamster's cage was kept out of it; the animal lived for much longer. It's not a definitive result by any means, only suggestive. Such an experiment would have to be repeated many times, at a great cost to the hamster population of the world.
I think that some people come into dowsing without knowing much about energy, densities, STS/STO, etc. and have a very 'let's see what happens' approach, which can be very dangerous when you work with energy. So, I think Deckard was not too way off when he said that because I've known some, and some of them were really into "I let the forces of heaven enter me to talk through this pendulum". From there, one can only imagine what forces this kind of thinking attracts and, therefore, some people, for lack of knowledge, might indeed take on more than they bargained for and end up badly.mada85 said:I'm not sure how dowsing could be dangerous. Where did you read about this? Perhaps over-reliance on it as a means of finding answers, when one should be thinking for oneself, could lead to a kind of mental collapse. Dowsing for answers is only a tool for selecting 'yes or no', 'this or that', or 'one of many'.
I've wondered the same about the muscle test, although it is different than the pendulum, which is not actually a part of your body. But as far as the muscle test goes, here is what I read:mada85 said:Since coming to Laura's work I have often wondered if dowsing can be influenced by fourth density factors as a means of control or manipulation. I don't think that question can be answered satisfactorily. If one dowses for a yes or no answer to the question, 'Is my dowsing being influenced by fourth density entities?' yes or no can both be lies. So I think dowsing results need to be backed up by research, observation and experimentation.
This study measured the way the central nervous system (brain) is functioning when muscles test strong versus when they test weak. Clear, consistent and predictable differences were identified in the brain between weak and strong muscle test outcomes. This supports the idea that manual muscle testing outcome changes reflect changes in the central nervous system.

Maybe it works a bit along the same lines with dowsing?
Jeez, I know what Laura means, but if I had waited until I had achieved COMPLETE mental, psychological and emotional health before beginning to study HK, I would have died without knowing it!Deckard said:necessity of accomplishing complete mental and psychological or emotional health (which is hard work in itself) before engaging in any type of esoteric work.
But it is true that you have to gather a lot of knowledge as you proceed, otherwise, you're food to just about anything that comes by.
