Surrogate Muscle Testing

I’m almost done with first library of the EFT training series. That’s the EFT Foundational Library. That library has 3 title sets. The first, the Basic EFT Course, I’ve given to 2 people already, and others are asking. The second, Beyond the Basics, gets a bit kooky at points, but I gleaned some really good insights there. For example, after all these years muscle testing, I’ve finally figured out how to surrogate muscle test, or test by myself for myself or for others. So far, results are fairly consistent with my standard muscle testing. It’s a bit more challenging to “get out of one’s own way” when doing it, but it’s working pretty well.

Surrogate testing is freeing me up to fix things for myself more quickly, without waiting for Wendy or one of the girls to walk by — they’re the ones I can muscle test with. It also gives me freedom to help the kids and others more quickly since I can zero in on the right works and techniques much more quickly than Q&A.

For example:

• Saturday at my niece’s baptism, my sister was having head pain. She has bad TMJ. I quickly used my new surrogate muscle testing skills to judge the severity and start finding the words: head pain, headache, jaw pain, and finally jaw tension. The pain dropped with the latter, though all four words were “charged” and needed tapping. Her eyes relaxed. I had to leave quickly, but was satisfied with the spot result. I need to call her today to see how she did the rest of the day. This is a life-long thing for her, so I have no illusions that one 2-minute tapping session would solve this.
• Today, Elijah woke up with his wrist hurting. He said it as a ’10′ on the severity scale, maybe ’11′. OK, he’s 5 and judging that is a little haphazard. But the surrogate muscle testing confirmed that perception. So we tapped. No reversal (PR) was present to start, but after it dropped to a 6 (I judged a 4) it stalled, and reversal was present. We did a couple of rounds with full sequence and setup, and worked it down to zero. He’s happily humming now while he plays Adventure Quest Worlds on the computer.

7:10 A.M. local time. I’ve left 2 messages to EMEA, done the morning email, sent out a couple of spot awards to staff, scheduled some staffing reviews, and made some notes and done some research on a staff training idea. And now I’m off to take the 15-year-old to her AP test for History.
