Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Hello All, Can anyone provide feedback on their experiences with Passive versus Active Energy Testing? To clarify, my understanding of Active Energy Testing is when the patien actively resist or keeps his/her arm up and the tester presses meridians or points or puts their hands on/over various regions. And the test responses would be weak if it needs to be addressed or the response would be strong if the issue is OK. This I believe is what is shown in Donna's book....at least 1 onf the energy tests. The Passive Energy test I refer to involves the patient being totally passive in the sense that they do not provide resistance as above. AN example I have seen is the patient lies down, the tester attempts at flopping the persons wrist/forearm from a palm down postion to a palm up. The asking is done by the tester mentally (as in thinks about a yes or no question). The initial test is a calibration where they ask " Show me a 'YES' " . And the patient responses response is shown with the hand going from palm down to palm up easily. Then the tester asks " show me a 'NO' " . The patient response would be that the arm remains palm down or is more resistive. Hence, your Yes or No answers. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this type of Energy Testing? Is there a difference in accuracy between the Active and the passive or are they just 2 different technologies? Can the responses be altered by the tester's unconscious mind? Thanks in advance.
