Pinch demo

[Guest guest]

There is a technique that I learned a while back that is useful in

demonstrating the effect of energy flow through the muscles when

energy testing. The technique is to “pinch†your thumb and forefinger

together along the surface of the pec muscle and test, then to

contrast, reverse the motion and test again.

 

The reason I bring it up is that when demonstrating this to someone,

each had the opposite effect from what I had expected. I had expected

spreading on the pec to encourage energy flow through the muscle,

causing the person to test strong. “Pinching†would then do the opposite.

 

That is not what happened. “Pinching†caused them to test strong, and

spreading caused them to test weak. Can someone else who is familiar

with this drill let me know whether I have got it backwards, or if

there is something else going on here?

 

Thank you,

Hi Anthony,

 

If that was the case, it is the reverse of what is expected as a pinch

interrupts the flow of energy thru the muscle and stretching should

strengthen the energy test. Your reversed results would make me suspect

irregular energies.

 

There is a good article on Irregular Energies in the Energy Medicine Handout

Thank you Michelle, that link is a very useful reference.
