Muscle Testing, Polarity & Energetic Assessment

Beginner-to-Advanced Training Notes

1. Understanding Muscle Testing

Muscle testing, sometimes referred to as applied kinesiology or energetic testing, is used in certain holistic wellness practices as a method of exploring the body’s responses to statements, questions, and potential stressors.

The approach is based on the belief that the body’s nervous system, muscles, and subconscious responses can provide feedback about energetic balance.

Common applications discussed include:

• Nutrition and food compatibility
• Emotional awareness and release
• Belief clearing
• Personal decision-making
• Energetic stress assessment
• Selecting AO Scan optimization programs
• Exploring SEFI playlists and frequency options

Core principle: Ask simple, specific yes-or-no questions, establish an individual’s response pattern, and practice consistently.

2. The Sway Test: Establishing Yes and No

The sway test is a beginner-friendly technique that uses subtle body movement to establish a perceived yes-or-no response.

Basic sway-test positions

Start upright, knees relaxed

Observe natural movement

Step-by-step instructions

1. Stand upright with feet approximately hip-width apart.
2. Keep the knees slightly bent rather than locked.
3. Relax the shoulders, arms, and muscles.
4. Close the eyes if comfortable and safe.
5. Silently or aloud state: “Show me yes.”
6. Notice any subtle movement forward, backward, sideways, or in a circular direction.
7. Open the eyes, return to neutral, and gently shake out the body.
8. Repeat to observe consistency.
9. Follow the same process using “Show me no.”

Interpreting responses within this method

Response	Possible movement
Yes	Forward, backward, sideways, or circular
No	A different movement from yes
Unclear	Little movement, inconsistent movement, or the same response

There is no universal direction for yes or no in the basic sway test. The individual establishes their own pattern.

For safety, practice away from obstacles and avoid closing your eyes if you have balance difficulties.

3. How to Ask Effective Questions

Questions should be specific and structured so that a yes-or-no response is possible.

Rather than asking:

“Should I eat an apple or an orange?”

Separate the question into two:

• “Would eating an apple be beneficial for me right now?”
• “Would eating an orange be beneficial for me right now?”

Three words frequently used that are helpful:

Beneficial

Effective

Tolerable

These are prompts for framing questions, not proof that a product or intervention is safe or effective.

Sample questions:

• “Would this particular SEFI playlist be beneficial to explore today?”
• “Would I prefer a shorter session?”
• “Is this the program I want to prioritize?”
• “Would a grounding exercise be appropriate for my wellness routine?”

Avoid using muscle testing to determine medication needs, diagnose infections, or decide whether a food allergy is present.

4. Understanding Polarity

In the energetic framework, polarity refers to the body’s perceived positive and negative energetic orientation.

Compare the body to an electrical system:

• Chakras represent energy centers or circuit breakers.
• Meridians represent energetic pathways or wiring.
• Polarity represents the orientation of this system.

A polarity imbalance is metaphorically like pressing the gas pedal and brake pedal simultaneously.

Factors associated with polarity

Emotional stress, physical distress, traumatic experiences, nightmares, insufficient grounding, environmental electromagnetic exposure, dehydration, and mineral imbalances can be possible contributors.

These are associations proposed within the energetic model. They are not scientifically established causes of a measurable condition called reversed body polarity.

5. Polarity Assessment: Belly-Button Method

This method combines hand placement, identity statements, and observation of body movement.

Instructions

1. Stand comfortably with soft knees.
2. Relax the shoulders and breathe normally.
3. Place the right hand gently over the belly button.
4. State: “I am [your actual name].”
5. Observe the sway response.
6. Return to a neutral standing position.
7. Place the left hand over the belly button.
8. State: “I am [an incorrect name].”
9. Observe the response.

Opposite responses are interpreted as consistent polarity, while identical or unclear responses may prompt further practice.

The method does not have an established clinical standard for measuring polarity.

6. Polarity Assessment: Hand-Above-Head Method

A second assessment uses the orientation of the palm.

First position: palm facing down

Second position: palm facing up

Instructions

1. Stand upright with knees slightly bent.
2. Hold one hand approximately 1–2 inches above the head, without touching it.
3. Begin with the palm facing downward.
4. Observe the body’s movement.
5. Turn the palm upward.
6. Observe the response again.

Forward sway with palm down and backward sway with palm up as the expected pattern.

This is a practice-specific interpretation rather than a medically validated assessment.

7. Grounding and Polarity-Balancing Techniques

Approaches for use when an energetic polarity response appears inconsistent.

A. Collarbone rubbing

• Locate the soft area just below the collarbones.
• Gently massage the area in small circular motions.
• Relax the shoulders and take several slow, deep breaths.
• Repeat the sway exercise if desired.

The training suggested firm rubbing, but gentle pressure is preferable to avoid bruising or irritation.

B. Cross-crawl movements

Cross-crawling involves moving opposite limbs across the body’s midline.

Instructions:

1. Stand upright or sit in a chair.
2. Lift the right knee toward the left hand or elbow.
3. Return to the starting position.
4. Lift the left knee toward the right hand or elbow.
5. Continue alternating for approximately 10–12 repetitions.
6. Breathe normally throughout.

Cross-crawling is an energetic coordination and grounding exercise.

C. Stainless-steel spoon technique

An additional grounding ritual:

1. Obtain a stainless-steel spoon.
2. Use the spoon to trace a figure-eight pattern over each foot.
3. Repeat in the morning and evening.

This is a way of releasing excess electrical charge and supporting grounding.

D. Hydration and minerals

Hydration and minerals are important.

Relevant nutrients mentioned include sodium, potassium, and lithium.

Adequate hydration and normal electrolyte balance are important for nerve and muscle function.

8. AO Scan: Custom SEFI Polarity Playlist

The training demonstrates using AO Scan’s SEFI custom playlist feature to create a polarity-oriented wellness program.

Example playlist components

Component	Purpose described in training
Lack of Conductivity	Energetic flow
Shock	Emotional or physical stress patterns
Root Chakra	Grounding and safety
Psora, Sycosis, Syphilinum miasms	Traditional homeopathic inherited-pattern concepts
Grounding	Energetic stability
Salia	Nervous-system support
Anti-Stress Body System	Stress-related energetic support
Nervy Plus	Nerve-related energetic support
Minerals	Mineral-related wellness focus
Lithium	Nervous-system-related energetic focus

Exact playlist names should be checked against the current AO Scan interface.

General workflow

1. Open AO Scan.
2. Navigate to SEFI.
3. Select the custom playlist area.
4. Search for the desired components.
5. Add selected items to a custom playlist.
6. Save the playlist with a recognizable name.
7. Follow the software’s instructions for the intended session.

You can also imprint a SEFI dot and positioning it near the prominent bone at the base of the neck or along the upper-to-middle spine.

9. Using Muscle Testing With AO Scan Vitals

Using yes-or-no questions alongside Vitals results to prioritize items for further review.

Food sensitivities

Example questions:

• “Is this food something I recently consumed?”
• “Would I like to review my intake of this food?”
• “Is this food something I want to investigate further?”

Food categories can include dairy, fruits, seeds, oils, and spices.

A double-red scan result can be used as a starting point for asking questions.

Important: A double-red AO Scan result does not establish food intolerance, allergy, inflammation, or pesticide exposure. Actual reactions should be evaluated using symptoms, dietary history, and appropriate medical testing.

Spices and herbs

Examples :

• Licorice in relation to digestion
• Cloves in relation to antimicrobial properties
• Oregano in relation to antimicrobial properties
• Peppermint in relation to digestion
• Nutmeg as an item for further investigation

The approach is to explore why a substance appears on a report rather than automatically assuming it should be avoided or consumed.

10. Chakras, Meridians, and Emotional Patterns

Using AO Scan chakra and meridian results to explore perceived emotional themes.

Example: Large intestine meridian

Potential emotional associations may include:

• Fear of loss
• Self-esteem
• Guilt
• Shame

A suggested reflection question is:

“Is there an emotional issue related to self-esteem that I would benefit from exploring?”

Emotional clearing intention

Focusing on an intention to release an unwanted emotional pattern.

An example of a personal affirmation is:

“I release limiting beliefs about my self-worth and choose to strengthen my confidence and self-respect.”

This can be used as a reflective or mindfulness practice.

11. AO Scan Body Systems and SEFI Selection

Exploring Body Systems results and narrowing possible SEFI programs.

The basic workflow is:

1. Review the scan category.
2. Identify the items that stand out.
3. Consider the person’s stated wellness goals.
4. Narrow down the available SEFI options.
5. Select the programs to explore.
6. Record the selection and any subjective experience afterward.

Examples may involve immune support, stress support, nervous-system support, emotional programs, and homeopathic categories.

Some scan examples referenced specific infections and medical conditions. AO Scan results and muscle testing should not be used to determine whether someone has an active virus, bacterial infection, multiple sclerosis, or another disease.

12. AO Scan Homeopathic, Flower, and Essential Oil Categories

The same yes-or-no approach can be applied to several SEFI categories.

Homeopathic selections

When reviewing a category, decide whether to use the entire list, and narrowing the items.

Flower and emotional programs

Programs can include confidence, self-esteem, love, concentration, energetic clearing, and stress support.

Essential oils

The method also explores selecting an oil and considering its intended use.

Essential oils require separate safety considerations, including dilution, allergies, respiratory sensitivity, pregnancy, children, and pets.

13. Muscle Testing for Another Person

Proxy-testing is an approach in which one person asks questions on another person’s behalf.

Procedure described

1. Obtain permission from the other person.
2. Establish a comfortable, relaxed position.
3. Ask whether to proceed.
4. Focus on the intended person.
5. Ask one question at a time.
6. Record observations without assuming they are medical facts.
7. Finish by mentally returning attention to oneself.

You must get permission and have a deliberate closing or energetic-disconnection practice.

14. Pendulum Testing

Pendulum testing was introduced as another yes-or-no method.

Instructions

1. Hold a necklace or pendulum loosely by its chain.
2. Relax the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
3. Rest the elbow on a surface if helpful.
4. Allow the pendulum to hang freely.
5. State: “Show me yes.”
6. Observe the movement.
7. Stop the pendulum.
8. State: “Show me no.”
9. Observe whether the movement changes.

Common movement patterns include forward-and-back, side-to-side, and clockwise or counterclockwise circles.

Pendulum chain length, grip, arm position, and relaxation may influence movement.

15. AO Tunes and Grounding Frequencies

AO Tunes is an additional feature to explore alongside the SEFI programs.

Navigation

1. Open AO Scan.
2. Select the infinity-symbol area.
3. Navigate to SEFI.
4. Open AO Tunes.
5. Browse the available frequency categories.

Categories

Category	Example
Binaural tones	Schumann frequency
Energy programs	Root chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra
Planetary frequencies	Flower of Life
Wellness themes	Relax muscles, alleviate pain, stress support

The Schumann resonance is a grounding-oriented frequency.

Schumann resonances are real electromagnetic phenomena in the Earth-ionosphere cavity.

16. AO Tunes: Imprint vs. Broadcast

AO Tunes may show an Imprint option where other SEFI categories provide Broadcast or both options.

The subject displayed at the top of the software or selecting a different SEFI target.

Also the fractal amplifier and notes the interface may not display it for every program.

17. Additional Applications

Grounding sheets

Position a grounding sheet at the foot of the bed rather than covering the entire sleeping surface, with the idea that someone could move their feet away when desired.

Children and nonverbal individuals

Use proxy testing when someone has difficulty communicating.

A safer application is to use the process as a reminder to observe and ask better questions.

Animals

AO Tunes and frequency programs for dogs, horses, and chickens.

Observing relaxation, behavior, and other changes when sound-based programs are played.

Animal comfort and safety should guide any experiment, including appropriate volume, freedom to move away, and veterinary evaluation of health concerns.

Pain and discomfort

AO Tunes programs labeled Erase, Flower of Life, Alleviate Pain, Relax Muscles, and Stress.

Persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, or worsening symptoms warrant appropriate medical evaluation.

18. Daily Practice Routine

The following routine captures a practical sequence.

Beginner practice checklist

Practice relaxed breathing and posture

Establish a yes and no sway response

Repeat the exercise to observe consistency

Practice both polarity-position exercises

Try 10–12 cross-crawl repetitions

Explore the pendulum method

Open AO Scan and review one SEFI category

Write down questions and subjective observations

19. Key Takeaways

Muscle testing in this training is an intuitive, energetic practice that emphasizes relaxation, specific questions, consistent observation, and regular practice.

The most important concepts for a beginner are understanding the proposed yes-and-no response system, learning the two polarity assessment exercises, becoming familiar with grounding activities, and navigating AO Scan’s Vitals, Body Systems, SEFI, and AO Tunes categories.

For a professional wellness team, these methods are best presented as exploratory energetic and self-reflection practices, with clear boundaries separating subjective experiences from medical diagnoses, nutritional assessments, and evidence-based treatment decisions.
