Feel Confident In Your Decisions

I can be so indecisive sometimes (I seriously relate to Chidi from The Good Place). But there’s a magical little test that can bring instant clarity from your subconscious: the Sway Test. [sigh of relief]

It’s a form of kinesiology that uses your body to reveal subconscious beliefs – no tools, no formulas, just you. I’ve done this muscle testing recently with clients and friends, and every time, it brings so much clarity, followed by relief and excitement!

My amazing client Jenna, a Root Cause Therapist (highly recommend if you’re ready for deep healing), walked me through it. We tested statements like “I am confident,” “I believe I can succeed,” and “I am supported.” And ohhh my gosh, my body had a lot to say.

Even when I felt totally still, Jenna noticed micro-movements forward or backward: tiny shifts revealing what my deeper beliefs were, beneath all the over-thinking. I’ve done it since with others, and the answers came through immediately. When they didn’t know what they should do, their body/subconscious/deepest Self, showed exactly what they wanted.

Quantum Biology Behind The Sway Test

There’s a layer of quantum biology behind this. Your body is constantly reacting to energy – internal and external. When something resonates as true, your body subtly leans in (relaxing). When it feels unsafe or untrue, it usually leans back (clenching). These micro-responses are often invisible to us, but they’re definitely happening!

How To Try It:

The Sway Test is easiest to do with a partner or friend who can observe which way you sway.

• Stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart, and take a few grounding breaths.
• With a partner, start by saying your real name (to calibrate “yes”) and then a fake name (to calibrate “no”).
• Have them read a list of beliefs or decisions, statements like “I am confident.” You repeat them, and they observe which way you sway.
• Don’t have anyone to observe your movements? Record yourself and watch the footage for subtle movements.
• You can do this for decisions, limiting beliefs, even health decisions (for example: your body will lean toward nourishing foods), and so much more.

You’re basically a human pendulum, and your body might reveal answers you didn’t even know were there.

On a Personal Note…

Happy Monday to you!!

I always find it funny how things just line up when you’re in alignment. This past week was filled with the sweetest reunions with some very special friends from my childhood, and my heart is still so full. I had coffee with my close friends from elementary school, and then met up with my high school best friend. It’s been years since I’ve seen a couple of them! Time flies…

Strangely enough, a few weeks ago I had a dream that I was in high school again, going over to Lauren’s house to hang out like I used to. Then (no surprise), she texted me out of the blue saying she’d be in town and wanted to catch up. When I walked into her house, it was just like my dream. Nothing had changed. It felt like I was a kid again, but with fresh eyes. I kept saying how much I wished I could go back and relive those “good ole’ days.”

As you know, I love seeing life through the lens of dreams. And to spontaneously meet up with childhood friends all in the same week? That kind of synchronicity feels meaningful to me. I’ve had so many dreams where I’m a kid again, and I always find myself wishing I could stay in those moments. But often a quiet voice, or what I call my ‘dream narrator,’ will always remind me: one day, I’ll look back at right now and wish I could return. So appreciate the now.

There’s something so powerful about reconnecting with pieces of your past. It reminds us how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown, but also how much our true selves has been there all along.

Grateful for you,
Andrea
