Can You Measure Spiritual Progress?
Nov 1, 2026 · @Mark Bind
I've always liked to track things. In the business world we call them KPIs, key performance indicators, because you need to know whether something is improving or not. Somewhere along the way I realised I wanted the same thing from my spiritual practice.
After a breathwork session through a particular energy center, I want to know: did something actually shift? Or did it just feel nice?
When you can't see it, measure it
Most of us can't see energy clairvoyantly, or feel it clairsentiently, at a fine level of detail. That doesn't mean the changes aren't happening. It just means we need another way to notice them.
Muscle testing and dowsing give us that. With them, it becomes surprisingly simple to create a yardstick and check it before and after a practice. You can track the state of your energy field, your consciousness, and your ascension over weeks and months, not just in a single moment.
The scale that jumped
Many of the yardsticks I use were inspired by David Hawkins and his scale of consciousness. I read a number of his books, and I loved that he used muscle testing to measure the consciousness of a person, a book, a song, almost anything.
His scale ran from 0 to 1000. Then, while I was working with it, something unexpected happened: I started getting answers above 1000. As I explored further, it became clear the whole scale had shifted. It now ran from 0 to 2000.
Looking back, I believe this marked our collective shift out of the third dimension and into the fourth. Not long after, I began tracking the higher frequency bands, and a lot of new information came through. Around 2012, I think we turned a corner as a species and began the upward swing.
Why this matters for you
If the ceiling has moved, so has what's possible for each of us. But growth rarely happens by accident. It needs practice, and it helps enormously to know whether that practice is working.
That's why the Ascension Road program includes many of the tools I've developed over the years for clearing, healing and activating your energy. Alongside them are clear guidelines for living at a higher frequency, with less trauma held in the body and energy field.
You don't have to take your progress on faith. You can work with it, and you can measure it.
