How to identify which PATHS Modules are good for you to use, Plus have some fun! 
This may be elementary to some of you. It is something I discovered last week that I have since tested on a few individuals. It is amazingly accurate, and it can be used in a variety of ways…including determining which PATHS Modules you can receive a benefit from using.
The fundamental principle is:
When the conscious mind has a belief that is in conflict with a subconscious belief, this intellectual conflict is observed in weakened body muscles.
The most popular way to observe whether there is agreement or conflict between the conscious and subconscious is via the “arm-pull-down” test.
I have only used this method on myself and 5 other individuals. In each case it was very apparent when there were weakened body muscles due to a conflict between conscious and subconscious belief.
I have since read up a bit on it, and it does seem that there is no small amount of controversy about this method. However, my limited experience (6 people) has been that it is not the least bit ambiguous, and is very accurate.
Here is how to use it:
It requires two people, the person being tested, and the person doing the testing. (I am aware that there are ways to test without involving another individual…but, not only is it more fun with someone else, my experience has been that the arm-pull-down test is more accurate.
Testing
The person being tested may use either arm for testing. When they are ready to test a belief, they should extend their arm straight out from their body, with the hand at shoulder level.
The person doing the testing should face the person being tested, standing to the side looking over their shoulder. Keep one hand resting lightly on their extended arm near the wrist. Place your other hand on their shoulder for stability.
To establish a baseline, the person being tested should make a statement they know is TRUE, like “My name is (insert actual name)”. At this point the person doing the testing should apply a gentle but steady downward pressure for about 2 seconds near the wrist. The person being tested should resist the downward pressure. (Avoid “bouncing” the arm.)
This will give both persons a feel for the muscles response to a belief where there is no conflict between the conscious and subconscious mind.
Next, the person being tested should make a statement they know is FALSE, like “My name is (insert fictitious name)”. At this point the person doing the testing should apply a gentle but steady downward pressure for about 2 seconds near the wrist. The person being tested should resist the downward pressure. (Avoid “bouncing” the arm.)
The difference in muscle strength should be readily apparent to both individuals. Test a few TRUE statements and a few FALSE statements so that you both become familiar with what it feels like.
NOW you can move on to testing relevant information, identifying any conflicts between the conscious and subconscious.
I have been having a lot of of fun
with this... plus, have had some real eye-openers about things that I was unaware of. 
Here are a few examples:
I have a healthy amount of self-esteem
I am good at goal setting
I believe that having surplus money is a good thing
I am grateful all the time
I am grateful most of the time
I am optimistic
I believe I am happy
You get the idea…this list can go on and on. It is a lot of fun to find out where your subconscious agrees and disagrees with your conscious.
One final note-while I have not experienced this myself, I have read about situations where accurate reads are not obtained. Below is an explanation of this, and what can be done to rectify it.
When I first began using muscle testing in my private practice, I noticed I didn’t always get accurate or logical answers when muscle testing some of my clients. For instance, when establishing communication with the subconscious mind using muscle testing, I instruct the individual to say, “My name is (subject’s actual name).” The normal muscle response is usually strong. When asked to substitute a false name in the sentence, the normal muscle response is usually weak. However, from time to time, the subject would test strong to the false name as well as their actual name. In fact, they would test strong to a variety of false statements about themselves. Without credible muscle responses, continuing with the desired belief change work was no more than a guessing game.
Over time, I began to notice a peculiar quirk of these people. Just before I pressed on the extended arm used for muscle testing, I noticed that the person’s eyes would move upwards, as if they were glancing at something on the ceiling. I remembered a bit of information from my earlier training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) suggesting that when people look up, they are usually processing their thoughts visually (making pictures). When they are focused straight ahead, they are processing auditorily (hearing sounds), and when they are looking downward, they are usually processing kinesthetically (experiencing feelings or physical sensations). In effect, when they looked up during the muscle test, they were moving out of their feelings and into their visual sensory system. Because the muscle testing response to self-referential statements depends on a physiological response from the subconscious mind expressed through the physical body, it was possible that the individual was not experiencing the necessary feelings to ensure an accurate muscle test. Upon further reflection and observation, I also noticed that clients with histories of significant childhood trauma were more likely to look up when asked to access unpleasant memories or make statements that might involve having to do so. It appeared that looking up was a subconscious strategy to dissociate from the unpleasant memories. This practice effectively disconnected them from the feelings necessary to create a conflicted (weak) muscle response from the subconscious. As soon as I asked the subject being tested to keep the eyes focused in a downward direction during the testing procedure, the responses normalized.
Eye position may not make a difference in other disciplines using muscle testing for purposes other than self-referential, affirmation-style statements, but where such statements are used, be aware that eye position can dramatically affect the accuracy of the responses, resulting in misleading information and false conclusions.

when they are getting their answers. It has become somewhat of an obsession of mine, like some freakish circus side show! 
Indeed I had found some false readings and could feel I was doing something wrong but I was not certain what, I kind of felt it. This happens especially when you do not want to hear the real answer...
