Energetic Testing Principles and Limitations

Views from David Hawkins, drawn from his 2015 book, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness Many will be familiar with Hawkins’ Levels of Consciousness work, and he has been one of the foremost proponents of the use of energetic testing to obtain information, mainly using muscle response, but also acknowledging the other signalling mechinasms available via the body.
