How to Use Solo or Self Muscle Testing to Read Your Vibration

Updated: Jan 24



Your body is not just bones and organs walking around in cute shoes.

It’s an energy system.


Every thought, sound, food, person, and environment you interact with has a frequency. When that frequency comes into your field, your body responds. It can either feel stronger and more steady… or a little bit weaker and off-balance.


Solo muscle testing is a simple way to ask your body:

“Does this support my energy, or does it pull me down?”

You don’t have to “psychic” your way through it or overthink it. You let your muscles answer.


How Self Muscle Testing Works on a Vibrational Level

Let’s keep this really simple.

Your body is full of tiny electrical signals:

  • Your heart has an electrical rhythm.

  • Your brain has electrical activity (brain waves).

  • Your nerves send electrical messages all day long.

So your body is constantly broadcasting and receiving energy.


When you bring something into your field — a thought, a food, a person, a memory — your system reacts. If your body reads it as helpful, safe, or supportive, your energy field tends to organize and strengthen. Muscles hold better. You feel more solid.


If your body reads it as stressful, draining, or not-good-for-you, your system can weaken or wobble a bit. Muscles don’t test as strong. You might feel a very subtle “drop” inside.


Muscle testing is just a way of using this natural reaction as feedback.


You’re not asking, “Is this good or bad in some moral way?”

You’re asking, “Does this strengthen my field right now?”

That’s it.


Where Muscle Testing Comes From (Quick Background)

Muscle testing has been used in many holistic and energy-based practices for years.

You’ll see versions of it in:

  • Applied kinesiology

  • Some chiropractic offices

  • Certain holistic and spiritual healing systems

Different teachers explain it in different ways, but the basic idea stays the same:

Your body knows more than your thinking mind, and it can show you the truth through strength vs. weakness.

Solo muscle testing is just the “self-serve” version you can do without a partner.


In the video, I show you a simple way to do this on your own.


Here in the blog, we’ll focus on what you can test and why it matters for your vibration.


What You Can Test to Support a Higher Vibe

Once you get the hang of solo muscle testing, you can use it like a little “energy filter” for your life.


Here are lots of ideas you can play with:


1. Foods and Drinks

You can test:

  • Specific foods (bread, dairy, sugar, fruits, veggies)

  • Drinks (coffee, wine, juice, soda, smoothies)

  • Whole meals or snacks

You’re not asking, “Is this food good or bad forever?” You’re asking, “Does this support my body and vibration right now?”

Sometimes the answer to chocolate is “yes.” Sometimes it’s “not today.” Your body will tell you.


2. Supplements, Herbs, and Remedies

You can test:

  • Vitamins and minerals

  • Herbal tinctures and teas

  • Flower essences

  • Homeopathic remedies

  • “Sleep” blends, “calm” blends, “energy” blends


This is especially helpful when you’re taking several things and want to know:

  • Which ones are supporting your system

  • Which ones might be overloading or weakening your energy

Again, it’s about fit for your field in this moment.

(And of course, this is a support tool — not a replacement for medical advice.)


3. Media: Music, Books, Courses, and Shows

Everything you put in your mind also has a vibration.

You can test:

  • A playlist or song

  • A podcast

  • A movie or TV show

  • A book, course, or class you’re thinking of taking

Try this in a library or bookstore:

Hold the book or think of the title and test:

“Does my energy feel stronger with this?”

Same with courses or programs:

  • Course A vs. Course B

  • “This month” vs. “later”

It’s like letting your subconscious pick your syllabus.


4. People

You can’t muscle test another person’s worth, of course.

But you can test how your body responds to their energy.


You can test:

  • Thinking about spending time with a certain friend

  • A social event you’re invited to

  • A work meeting, group, or club

  • Whether to say yes or no to a plan

Ask something like:

“Is spending time with this person/event supportive for my energy right now?”

Your system will respond. Sometimes it’s a strong yes. Sometimes it’s a gentle “maybe not this week.”

This isn’t about judging people. It’s about taking care of your own field.


5. Home, Objects, and Décor

Your home is one big energy field too.

You can test:

  • Old décor items

  • Gifts from people you don’t feel great about

  • Clutter piles

  • Clothes in your closet

  • Record albums, art, or old photos

Hold or think about the item and test:

“Does having this in my space strengthen my energy?”

If it weakens you, that might be a sign:

  • It’s time to move it, clear it, or let it go.

  • Or you may want to cleanse it and test again.

This is a powerful way to build a High Vibe House one object at a time.


6. Choices, Decisions, and Timing

Your body can also help you with choices, especially when your mind is spinning.

You can test:

  • “Option A” vs. “Option B” (job offers, homes, plans, etc.)

  • “Now” vs. “Later”

  • “Say yes” vs. “Say no”

Ask something like:

“Is this option strengthening for me right now?” and test each option one at a time.

You’re not handing your power over to the test. You’re just getting extra feedback from your energy system.


7. Thoughts, Beliefs, and Affirmations

You can also test:

  • An affirmation

  • A belief you suspect is running in the background

  • A thought you say to yourself a lot

For example:

  • “I am worthy of love.”

  • “Money always works out for me.”

  • “Nothing ever goes right for me.”


If a positive statement tests weak, it doesn’t mean it’s not true. It usually means your subconscious doesn’t fully believe it yet - which is very useful information. Now you know where to focus your subconscious work, hypnosis, or repetition.


A Few Helpful Tips

  • Stay curious, not rigid. Muscle testing is a tool, not a religion. Use it for guidance, not obsession.

  • Be as neutral as you can. Try not to “push” for the answer you want. Think, “Show me what’s true for my energy right now.”

  • Remember: results can change. Something that weakens you today might strengthen you later, and vice versa.

  • Combine it with common sense. Still see your doctor, still read labels, still use your brain. This is an extra layer of wisdom, not the only one.


Why This Matters for a Higher Vibe

High-vibe living isn’t just about thinking happy thoughts. It’s about making aligned choices in the physical world:

  • What you eat

  • What you watch

  • Who you spend time with

  • What you keep in your space

  • What you say yes to


Solo muscle testing is like having a tiny “vibration meter” in your hands. You get to regularly ask:

“Does this raise my vibe or lower it?”

Over time, those small choices add up. Your energy field becomes clearer, stronger, and more coherent.

And when you raise your vibration, you don’t just feel better —you quietly make the whole world a little brighter.


If you want to understand what in your life is supporting your energy and what may be quietly draining it, this is exactly the kind of awareness I guide people through in the High Vibe Life Audit. It’s a practical way to look at your environment, habits, and inner patterns so you know where small shifts will make the biggest difference.https://www.thehighvibehouse.com/high-vibe-life-audit
