Ask the subject to stand up and hold one arm out directly in front of them, horizontal to the floor.
Place the first two fingers of one hand lightly on their arm, just above the wrist.
Your fingers should be placed just behind the bony bump on the end of the forearm, just next to the wrist on the little finger side.
Place your free hand on their opposite shoulder to support them, if desired.
Tell the subject, “I’m going to have you make a statement, and then I’m going to press down gently on your arm. I want you to resist me gently by holding your arm right where it is, try to prevent me from pushing your arm down.”
Have the subject state their name.
If the subject’s name is Kim, for example, ask them to say, “My name is Kim.”
Perform the muscle test by smoothly and steadily increasing the downward pressure on the subject’s arm, going from no pressure to a fairly firm pressure within about three seconds.
The shoulder joint should stay “locked” against your firm downward pressure, and the subject’s arm should not give way.
Have the subject make a statement that is obviously false by using a name that is not their own.
If the subject’s name is Kim, for example, she could say, “My name is Bob.” Perform the muscle test again, and you should notice that the arm is weaker since the statement they just made is incongruent with the truth, and the subject’s subconscious mind knows it.
