Muscle Response Feedback™

WHAT IS MUSCLE RESPONSE FEEDBACK™ (MRF)?

The Universe contains all knowledge. Have you ever wondered how the earth knows how to rotate on its axis, suspended in space for billions of years? Or how your body takes its next breath without a reminder from you. As you snuggle into bed each night you do so with complete trust that your heart will continue to pump and your lungs will continue to breathe. This trust is so complete that you probably never think about it. The wisdom that keeps the body alive is such an intrinsic part of us that we rarely contemplate or appreciate its power.

Born with this profound wisdom already installed, it is natural to take it for granted. We are a part of this grand mystery called life. Our bodies are one of the endless marvels created by the supreme wisdom. In the 1960's, Dr. George Goodheart discovered that the body could be used as a device to communicate with this wisdom directly. By testing a group of muscles while introducing sugar to the body, Dr. Goodheart found that tester muscles would either remain strong or would weaken. He called this technique Applied Kinesiology, which later became known as muscle testing.

Through muscle testing he found that the body will tell you which foods or substances are healthy and which ones are harmful. Harmful stimuli will create stress and cause the body to weaken while healthy foods will make the muscles test strong.

In the 1970's applied kinesiology was further researched in the scientific community by Dr. John Diamond. He validated the claims that the tester muscles would weaken in the presence of artificial sweetener and test strong when replaced with natural sweeteners. Dr. Diamond's theory also showed that the body would test strong when the testee would think positive thoughts, feel positive emotions, or make a positive statement. Research also showed that negative thoughts, emotions, or statements would cause the testee to weaken. This new research was to become known as Behavioral Kinesiology. You may find it interesting to know that smiles were found to make the body strong while criticism caused the body to weaken.

Research continued even into the 1990's when Dr. David Hawkins and Noble Prize winner, Linus Pauling, PH.D. researched and documented theories, people, and works of art and found that theories, persons or works of art/science could be validated as to its truth and accuracy.

La Rue Eppler, founder and creator of The SoulTalk® Method, developed a unique technique that utilizes muscle testing concepts in a new and innovative way. Rather than testing the muscle itself, our approach uses the muscle to provide specific feedback, that the conscious mind may not be aware of, to detect issues. The results of this approach are immediate, consistent, reliable, and dependable. We call this new and innovative technique Muscle Response Feedback™ (MRF).

Using the body as a tool, The SoulTalk® facilitator will propose a question or statement while applying gentle pressure to the clients' outstretched arms. If the arms remain strong, the answer is yes (or the statement is considered to be true). If the response is weak, the answer is no (or the statement false). It works similar to a lie detector.

Since the body/mind holds the memory of every event in your life, it can be used to precisely locate painful, often forgotten memories and limiting beliefs that keep one blocked. Using Muscle Response Feedback™ to specifically identify a person's core block or issue, the issue can be resolved in minimum time. With a client's willingness to improve, it is not uncommon for the issue to be resolved quickly, often in just one to three sessions. It is a common occurrence for a client to accomplish in just a few sessions what may take years using more traditional approaches to wellness.

Muscle Response Feedback™ works because negative emotional stress makes the muscles weaken. You may recall that when someone is about to deliver traumatic news they will inform you to sit down first. The bad news creates stress which is felt as weakness in the knees and has literally caused some people to collapse.

Muscle Response Feedback™ is the backbone of the process, The SoulTalk® Method. It is used in private sessions as well as in all courses. All classes taught have grown out of the knowledge provided by Muscle Response Feedback™.
