Muscle Testing Training Course | Applied Kinesiology

I’m getting interested in how useful it might be to quickly access your body’s subconscious beliefs… recognizing, of course, that subconscious beliefs can be just as wrong as conscious views.

… Modern science has validated this mind body link and muscle testing has a wide spectrum of use. This training course introduces students to the theory, methodology and hands-on techniques that enables them to apply it in their own life, practice or related endeavor.

• Which foods agree with my body?
• Will those herbs help me?
• Will this food strengthen me?
• Is this the right choice for me?
• Endless possibilities!

Muscle testing by-passes conscious thought which enables it to directly access the brain. The unconscious or sub-conscious brain is active 24 hours a day, does not judge as it accepts and processes what is, in real time. Muscle testing taps into this powerful source.

This course was developed by our Holistic Health Practitionerbased on a body of education and knowledge and practice experience spanning 20 years. As a trainer, students have access to a massive body of related knowledge and real examples.

Muscle testing accesses the worlds most powerful computer … the human mind

Muscle testing techniques are fast becoming a main-stream modality for determining all manner of circumstance. By accessing the body’s own computer, the brain and its circuits of interaction with organs, muscles and diverse body tissues, muscle testing can determine or test for the internal integrity and balance of the body and mind entity….

This seems like much faster access to the subconscious than hypnosis… With just as much potential for misuse if you wrongly believe the subconscious mind always knows the truth. As with hypnosis, answers are easily invented through suggestion if administered naively.

MIT Energy Scavenger Harvests Power from Light, Vibrations, and Heat

Christine Daniloff via MIT News

Combining energy from multiple ambient sources generates a more stable supply for sensorsSmall power generators that can harvest energy from ambient sources like heat, vibrations, and light hold a lot of promise across a range of applications, particularly in things like remote monitoring. They can harvest the vibrations imparted by vehicles passing over a bridge to power sensors that monitor the bridge’s structural integrity, for instance, or keep a network of wildfire-detecting sensors working in the remote wilderness, no batteries necessary. But these kinds of ambient power are often intermittent and unreliable–unless you can harvest several of them at the same time.

That’s exactly what a new chip developed by researchers at MIT is doing. MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering has turned out a lot of technology in this space previously, but the frustrations of engineers there are shared by pretty much everyone working in the remote sensing realm: ambient sources of energy, be they the temperature gradients between a body and the outside air or vibrations harvested from machinery or other sources, are typically inconsistent. Sensors or other low-power systems need a steady stream of energy to operate, and energy sources like light and heat fluctuate over time.

To overcome this, the MIT team has created a single device that harvests various environmental sources, smoothing out the inconsistency inherent in any one source. Combining these sources–specifically light, heat, and vibrations–requires a sophisticated control circuit that can efficiently combine the varying voltages produced by each source rather than simply switch among them, as other energy harvesters do. The key innovation here was creating such a circuit that also doesn’t siphon off too much power for its own function.

The MIT system manages to blend all three sources efficiently, storing excess power in a small battery (the chip can power devices either from this battery or directly from the control circuit itself). It could soon be used to power a range of low-power micro-systems that are just now coming to market, such as implantable biosensors or distributed environmental monitoring systems.

Ouija Board outperforms computer in the Laboratory

Beloved of spiritualists and bored teenagers on a dare, the Ouija board has long been a source of entertainment, mystery and sometimes downright spookiness. Now it could shine a light on the secrets of the unconscious mind.

The Ouija, also known as a talking board, is a wooden plaque marked with the words, “yes”, “no” and the letters of the alphabet. Typically a group of users place their hands on a movable pointer , or “planchette”, and ask questions out loud. Sometimes the planchette signals an answer, even when no one admits to moving it deliberately.

Believers think the answer comes through from the spirit world. In fact, all the evidence points to the real cause being the ideomotor effect, small muscle movements we generate unconsciously.

That’s why the Ouija board has attracted the attention of psychologists at the University of British Columbia in Canada. Growing evidence suggests the unconscious plays a role in cognitive functions we usually consider the preserve of the conscious mind.

Take driving your car along a familiar route while planning your day. On arrival, you realise you were not in conscious control of the car, it was your “inner zombie”, said Hélène Gauchou at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness conference in Brighton, UK, this week. “How can we communicate with that unconscious intelligence?”

Gauchou’s approach is to turn to the Ouija board. To keep things simple her team has just one person with their finger on the planchette at a time. But the ideomotor effect is maximised if you believe you are not responsible for any movements – that’s why Ouija board sessions are most successful when used by a group. So the subject is told they will be using the board with a partner. The subject is blindfolded and what they don’t know is that their so-called partner removes their hands from the planchette when the experiment begins.

The technique worked, at least with 21 out of 27 volunteers tested, reports Gauchou. “The planchette does not move randomly around the board; it moves to yes or no. It seems to move almost magically. None of them felt responsible for the movement.” In fact some subjects suspected that their partner was really an actor – but they thought the actor was deliberately moving the planchette, never suspecting they themselves were the only ones touching it.

Goucher’s team has not yet used the technique to get new information about the unconscious, but they have established that it seems to work, in principle. They asked subjects to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to general knowledge questions using the Ouija board, and also asked them to answer the same questions using the more orthodox method of typing on a computer (unblindfolded). Participants were also asked whether they knew the answer or were just guessing.

When using the computer, if the subjects said they didn’t know the answer to a question, they got it right about half the time, as would be expected by chance. But when using the Ouija, they got those questions right 65 per cent of the time – suggesting they had a subconscious inkling of the right answer and the Ouija allowed that hunch to be expressed (Consciousness and Cognition, DOI: 10.1016/j.concog.2012.01.016).

The ideomotor effect is also used in a technique called “muscle testing” which I witnessed being used recently in Berkeley, CA by a Biological dentist to verify the need in a patient for two “cavitation surgeries”.

New Telescope Optics Can Directly View Exoplanets By Hiding Interfering Starlight

**Sifting Starlight** These two images show HD 157728, a nearby star 1.5 times larger than the sun.

Sifting Starlight These two images show HD 157728, a nearby star 1.5 times larger than the sun. The star is centered in both images, and its light has been mostly removed by an adaptive optics system and coronagraph belonging to Project 1640, which uses new technology on the Palomar Observatory’s 200-inch Hale telescope to spot planets.Project 1640/NASA-JPL

For now, the thousands of potential exoplanets discovered in the past two years are little more than curvy dips on a graph. Astronomers using the Kepler Space Telescope pick them out by examining the way they blot out their own stars’ light as they move through their orbits. But if astronomers could block out the stars themselves, they may be able to see the planets directly. A new adaptive optics system on the storied Palomar Observatory just started doing that – it’s the first of its kind capable of spotting planets outside our solar system.

The new system is called Project 1640, and it creates dark holes around stars that may harbor planets. It removes the blinding glare of starlight so astronomers can see the exoplanets. This is extremely hard to do, said Charles Beichman, executive director of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at Caltech. “Imagine trying to see a firefly whirling around a searchlight more than a thousand miles away,” he said in a statement.

Coronagraphs are used to block out starlight so scientists can see what lurks around the stars. But even when you block the brightest light, about half of it can still fuzz up an image, creating speckles and background light that will interfere with images of potential planets. To address this speckly starlight, Project 1640 uses the world’s most advanced adaptive optics system, and four separate instruments on Palomar’s 200-inch Hale telescope that image the infrared light generated by young, warm planets orbiting stars.

Its adaptive optics system can make more than 7 million active mirror deformations per second, with a precision level better than one nanometer. Its wave front sensor, which detects the atmosphere-caused deformations of light hitting the telescope, is also sensitive to a nanometer. As the system detects perturbations in the light waves coming into the telescope, it continually adjusts and deforms to block out the light as effectively as possible.

The system can resolve objects 1 million to 10 million times fainter than the object at the center of the image, which is usually the star. With that level of sensitivity, astronomers may be able to see planets….

Drone strike kills 19 ahead of US-Pakistan meeting in Tokyo

Air strike is first since Pakistan reopened Nato supply route to Afghanistan and comes just before crucial diplomatic meeting
The death toll from a US drone strike in Pakistan rose to 19 on Saturday, increasing tensions ahead of a meeting between secretary of state Hillary Clinton and her Islamabad counterpart.

Pakistani authorities increased the estimate from an initially reported 12 suspected militants who were killed in the attack in the Dattakhel region in North Waziristan on Friday.

On Sunday, Clinton is due to meet with Pakistan’s foreign minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, in Tokyo. That meeting, on the sidelines of a major conference on Afghanistan, will be given added pique as a result of the increased use of drones by the CIA in recent months.

Friday’s strike came just days after Washington and Islamabad resolved a protracted dispute over the use of unmanned armed aircraft, with Clinton apologising for an air attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November.

The apology paved the way for Pakistan to permit trucks carrying Nato supplies to cross into Afghanistan for the first time in more than seven months.

But America appears set to continue with its controversial programme of increased drone strikes.

Last Sunday, eight people were killed in an attack on a suspected militant safehouse. It followed a number of other such strikes in June.

Under a strategic review conducted earlier this year, the Pentagon announced it will increase the number of unmanned armed crafts in its arsenal by almost a third.

But the use of drones is highly controversial, with a large chunk of the Pakistani public – as well as human rights activists around the world – resenting their use due to the high number of non-military casualties.

Figures from the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism show that CIA drones stuck Pakistan 75 times in 2011, causing up to 655 fatalities.

The majority of those killed were alleged militants, but as many as 126 civilians also have lost their lives, the bureau’s figures suggest.

Islamabad has demanded for a halt in the US programme of drone attacks and their continued use has strained relations between the two countries.

Don’t you love how we have to be told that murdering innocent people is “highly controversial” … among the Pakistani people and “human rights activists around the world”? I had no idea that 99.99% of human beings are either Pakistanis or human rights activists.
