What Christians Need to Know About Applied Kinesiology
The Truth About Kinesiology: A Christian Exposé
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God…” — 1 John 4:1
Applied Kinesiology (AK), also known as muscle testing, was founded in 1963 by chiropractor George Goodheart, who mixed chiropractic care with Eastern occult practices, including meridian energy mapping, nutrition, and energy balancing. While this may sound scientific or harmless, the practice is anything but biblical.
Goodheart’s methodology is based on diagnosing disease or imbalance by evaluating how a person’s muscles respond to applied pressure—especially when a substance like food or supplements is held in hand. The theory suggests that the body can “sense” whether a product is good or harmful based on energy fields and that muscle strength or weakness reflects that energy.
But this concept is not scientifically supported. Worse, it is rooted in Eastern mysticism, not in medical or biblical truth.
What Really Happens in a Kinesiology Session?
In an AK session, the practitioner will have the person extend one arm while holding an item in the opposite hand. The practitioner presses down on the extended arm and watches for weakness or resistance. If the arm weakens, it supposedly indicates a bad reaction to the object—if it resists, the substance is considered beneficial.
This method is based on the idea that energy or “chi” (also called "qi") flows through the body and can be manipulated. Practitioners often refer to Chinese meridians, the same concept used in acupuncture and other Eastern practices. They believe that muscle imbalances can be corrected by balancing this chi energy.
Yet Scripture warns us:
“You shall have no other gods before Me.” — Exodus 20:3
“Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” — 1 Timothy 4:7
Kinesiology blends diagnosis, treatment, and divination, often with the practitioner acting as a spiritual intermediary. This opens the door to deception, confusion, and ultimately demonic influence.
Why Is Kinesiology Dangerous for Christians?
1. Unbiblical Energy Concepts
Kinesiology promotes belief in cosmic energy or life force—often labeled as “chi” or “prana.” These concepts are not found in the Bible but are foundational to Eastern mysticism and occultism.
“For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
When practitioners claim to move or balance this energy, they are engaging in spiritual manipulation without the Holy Spirit. Scripture gives no support for invisible “life forces” that respond to touch, food, or energy fields.
2. Divination-Like Practices
Holding objects and muscle testing to “sense” good or bad energy mimics divination—a practice God strictly forbids:
“There shall not be found among you...a diviner, a soothsayer...or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.” — Deuteronomy 18:10–12
Much like pendulum reading, crystal dowsing, or using a Ouija board, kinesiology substitutes human intuition and energy reading for God’s divine wisdom and healing power.
3. False Diagnosis and Misleading “Healing”
Muscle testing is subjective and unscientific. It gives false confidence in “diagnoses” based on pseudoscientific techniques that have no real physiological basis. Even worse, it distracts people from true physical healing and spiritual deliverance through Jesus Christ.
“I am the Lord who heals you.” — Exodus 15:26
“He sent out His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.” — Psalm 107:20
God's healing never involves hidden energy fields or subjective muscle tests. Healing from God comes through faith, prayer, repentance, and divine intervention, not unproven energetic testing.
4. Absorption of “Energy” by Touch?
One of the most absurd claims in kinesiology is that merely touching a substance allows the body to “sense” its energy—even without ingestion. But if that were true, wouldn’t we all fall ill from simply touching toxic items in daily life like cleaners, paints, or medications?
The Bible calls us to reason and discernment, not superstition:
“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21–22
Kinesiology Is Not Harmless—It Is a Gateway
Like Reiki, crystal healing, and other energy-based systems, applied kinesiology is a backdoor into spiritual deception. Christians must understand that anything involving energy fields, muscle manipulation for spiritual insight, or Eastern healing philosophies is incompatible with biblical truth.
These are spiritual counterfeits—forms of occult practice dressed up in scientific language.
How Should Christians Respond?
If you’ve practiced kinesiology, had someone perform muscle testing on you, or even have generational ties to it, you should:
-
Repent for engaging in occult practice (knowingly or unknowingly).
-
Renounce any spirits that may have entered through these rituals.
-
Break soul ties with any practitioners involved.
-
Plead the blood of Jesus over your body and spirit for cleansing.
-
Seek deliverance prayer from a trusted, Spirit-filled minister.
“And do not give the devil a foothold.” — Ephesians 4:27
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.” — 1 Corinthians 10:21
✝️ Prayer of Repentance & Deliverance:
“Father God, I repent for engaging in any form of kinesiology, muscle testing, or energy healing. I renounce every occult connection, every false diagnosis, and every belief in energy fields that are not of You. I break agreement with every lying spirit, every spirit of divination, and every New Age deception. I command every unclean spirit to leave me now in Jesus’ name. I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind, my body, and my spirit. Lord, heal me fully and align me with Your truth alone. Amen.”
