Once in a while you may read a blog that mentions pendulum dowsing or muscle testing. While both are outwardly very simple techniques, they inwardly work with a multi-dimensional dynamic and framework.
Pendulum dowsing and muscle testing takes into account all of you within a given moment. If you’re excited, nervous, asking questions out of personal gain or blatantly asking inappropriate questions (‘where’s my car keys’ without having done any effort on your part to use your brain to look for them) – then the results will be equal to your starting point = unreliable.
When I was first introduced to Muscle Testing, some 7-8 years ago – I played around with it but eventually decided to stop. I knew I couldn’t trust myself with it.
This is not to say that if you’re interested in developing skills in pendulum dowsing or muscle testing that it will take you many years to get there, or that you shouldn’t do it at all – but that you should take on such an endeavour with the necessary seriousness, responsibility and self-scrutiny.
Personally, I do not use pendulum dowsing or muscle testing for anything that I know I can do without it. It’s not a tool to defer my personal responsibility. It’s at all times a complimentary tool that can assist in fine-tuning and specifying myself, but I do not depend solely on it. It’s a partnership of enhancement, not of dependency.

![Cesar gave Syntia his train tracks about a year ago, and before they were hers, she would play with them together with Cesar. She's had a ton of time to learn the different pieces, how to put them together and build a track, but for some reason, she DID NOT want to build a track by herself and most of all preferred to just watch as someone else built the track for her.
Lj and I knew she was perfectly capable of building a track for herself and we tried to support her to start small and show herself that she can do it. Or that we'd be here if she gets stuck, but she can at least try on her own. Any such attempts, however, were met with an absolute and firm refusal. So, we did it with her, or for her.
We started wondering, is this little girl really just taking advantage of us at this point? Are we entertaining this too much? Should we push harder? We knew she could do it, she knew she could do it, but for some reason she just didn't want to do it, at least, not yet.
And then one day, out of the blue, she takes out her blocks and starts building a track... by herself. Lj quietly waived me over, pointing at her, then signing 'shhht', lol - didn't want to disturb the moment. The track you see in the pic is the first one she built by herself. It wasn't a "beginner's" track like a simple circle or a straight line, it was a more intricate design laid out exactly and precisely how she wanted it to be, including all the elements she wanted to have as a part of it. Kabam, out of the blue.
There are other things where Syntia 'took her sweet time', like learning how to walk and potty training, where it was clear at some point that she was able to do it, but for some reason, pulled back or didn't want to do it all by herself just yet. It's so easy as parents to freak out over that, to think that children should develop skills in a particular way, like 'starting small' or doing something by yourself as soon as you're able to. But not all kids are the same in this.
