Let's take the "Ack!" out of testing!
Kinesiology is not a dirty word. It's just hard to pronounce.
If there was one hurdle we wish we could remove for everyone, it's the hesitance to learn and use PKTT (the Perelandra Kinesiology Testing Technique).
We help callers through this on the Question Hot Line often. Machaelle has witnessed this phenomena ever since she first introduced PKTT decades ago. She addresses this perfectly and dismantles all of the biggest hurdles folks tend to throw up for themselves in her PKTT Pep Talk.
PKTT is a gift that gives back a thousand times over. You'll get to know yourself better. You'll develop your intuition (yes, you read that right). Your partnership with nature will improve and strengthen.
Using PKTT makes communicating with nature fun and exciting. Seriously!
You'll learn how to ask smart questions and develop your personal communication bridge with nature for gardening and for soil-less gardening (working on projects and goals that don't grow in soil). You'll figure out when to use PKTT and when not to with your MAP team. You'll discover an extraordinary world inside and all around you when using PKTT for the Microbial Balancing Program.
Here, we want to talk about Essences testing.
Perelandra Essences
We recently reintroduced the basics about the Perelandra Essences and then followed that up with lots of examples of good times to reach for those Essences. And if you are thinking about getting started with the Essences, it's important you know this:
You will get the best results with the Perelandra Essences if you use PKTT — a specific muscle testing that will give you the best readout of your electric system.
Don't let that put you off.
If you're breathing, you have an electric system!
You can do this.
Watch a five-minute video of Machaelle demonstrating everything you need to know to begin using the Perelandra Kinesiology Testing Technique (PKTT). The skill is much easier to learn than its name.
This testing does not make using essences harder. It's not a burden. It's the opposite. If you let go and let yourself move through the learning curve, testing essences is fascinating and surprising, some might say joyful!
No one is judging you when you're testing essences. You are the one in charge of the test. And you are the one reaping the benefits.

If you spend just five minutes daily testing one or two sets of Perelandra Essences, you'll find yourself comfortable with this in no time. That investment of a small part of each day, gives you access to addressing any health concern with targeted precision in the moments you or your family need it.
PKTT is like any tool: The more you practice, the better you become at using it. Practice helps you get over the initial “this-is-weird-and-the-damned-testing-isn’t working” stage. The only way I know to get over this hump is to practice testing. It is impossible to reason yourself over the hump. (Many have tried and have failed miserably.) Through practice you will develop clarity in your testing, you’ll learn your personal pitfalls and you will fine-tune your technique. The good news: Because you’ll be testing the Perelandra Essences frequently, you have a built-in opportunity for lots of practice. And you’ll be multitasking: You’ll be improving your health by using the Perelandra Essences to address a circuit problem while practicing PKTT. In no time, you’ll move through the beginner’s learning curve and become comfortable with both PKTT and the Essences. Oh yes, and you’ll end up feeling healthier as well.

You can use kinesiology successfully.
There are other people out there, many thousands of them, who learned to love their learning curve. Some of them shared their kinesiology stories in our Perelandra Voices newsletters here. This is an excerpt from one of our favorites:
Let Your Fingers Do The Walking
My first exposure to kinesiology was not through Perelandra, but rather in 1980 through a chiropractor. . . . his method involved applying pressure to my outstretched arm. This method works well for a practitioner and a client. But for me, there was an obvious drawback; I did not always have someone I trusted and felt comfortable with to test me. So, I reverted to letting my chiropractor do kinesiology for or on me.
At this same time, I was actively involved in a metaphysical group; in fact, I worked for the organization, along with several other very "psychic" and intuitive members. "Psychic" and "intuitive" were not words which applied to me at that time. In fact, I felt pretty strange and "spiritually inferior" because I didn't feel energy, see auras or hear voices. In time, members of this metaphysical group learned about kinesiology and began practicing it. Their results seemed amazingly accurate to me. But, when I tested myself using the methods they used, I wasn't as accurate as they were. Sometimes I got wonky answers, sometimes I just could not get a consistent answer, and sometimes I just did not want to believe the information I got. So I began to doubt myself and my ability; I lost my self-confidence and decided that one had to be "spiritually advanced" (whatever that means!) to use kinesiology. God knows "spiritually advanced" did not apply to me!
So there I was, unsure of my own kinesiological skill but with easy access to someone who could test me and in whose skill and accuracy I had confidence. I saw kinesiology as a "spiritual gift" which one either innately "had" or "did not have." Since it didn't always work for me, obviously I did not have "it." Therefore, I did not believe I could test myself but required someone else to test me. I gave up practicing kinesiology altogether.
Luckily, things didn't stay that way for long. In 1986, I attended Machaelle's flower essence workshop. Somewhere in that workshop, I remember her saying "if you have an electrical system — and you have one if you are alive — you can do kinesiology. It just takes practice." None of my psychic friends or the chiropractor had ever told me that. Nobody had suggested that learning to use kinesiology was a process, a skill which required practice. So I put aside my belief that kinesiology would not work for me, and followed Machaelle's step-by-step approach. I distinctly remember the shock I experienced when I found out that my fingers, those fingers which gave such wonky results earlier, did hold for "yes" and did break for "no." And all I had to do was practice and learn how to ask questions which were answerable.
