This class is is an introduction to practical muscle testing (manual resistive testing).  We will learn how to do muscle testing correctly and use it to get useful information about our own system as well as our partner's.  We will evaluate what weakens or strengthens our body/mind by testing food, supplements, environmental conditions, thoughts, ideas and much more.  We will ask the body questions about where problems are located and how to correct them.  We will also cover techniques to relieve emotional stress, and improve the functioning of our nervous systems.  This class is based on Touch for Health® Kinesiology and would be an excellent introduction to that work.
