Ever heard of “Applied Kinesiology”? Interesting stuff.

I’m still agnostic on the depth of its usefulness in a medical environment, but try this on:

Find a friend.

Stand up. Face one another. Have your partner stick his/her right (or dominant) arm out at 90. Have them resist as you push down on their arm. (Don’t break their arm, please. :)

Now, ask them their name. Push down. Test the strength.

Relax.

Ask them their name again, only this time have them make a name up that isn’t theirs. Push down.

Notice a difference?

I definitely did.

Hmmm…

We’re weaker when we’re lying.

And we’re stronger when we’re telling the truth.

Hmmm…

Other fun ways to test:

Think mean thoughts: are you strong or weak? Now think loving thoughts: are you strong or weak?

Think of a time when you were terrified. Now think of a time when you were absolutely confident.

Hmmm…
