Your intuitive impressions are quite accurate. The finger testing less so. This is a question of confidence. When you lack confidence, fear creeps in, and by this we mean simply fear of making a mistake. This is normal and a natural human response in doing something novel, especially with potential significance, and in doing healing work there is a compelling need to get things right and not make mistakes of interpretation or judgment. The majority of people are not able to use the finger strength testing successfully. It is a minority who can do so. So do not worry about this. Practice will help and experience will help you to work out a comfort level, or not, as the case may be. Many people simply give up because they find the testing to be inconsistent and that is the correct interpretation for them. Some people will simply have a knack for doing this and it will simply be in place pretty much from the outset. Others need to work at it a bit to be in the flow, so to speak, and relatively unconcerned but simply following along, expecting a response and then noting what it is, and that is often when things work best, when there is not a feeling of pressure and that much is riding on the answer. That will tend to cause the system to seize up and will disconnect you from Creator. Then you are on your own and at the mercy of your subconscious and it may attempt to fill in on your behalf, but will not truly know with the same certainty as Creator what you are asking.
We would say it is too soon to abandon this, but that is your decision, how much effort you want to put into this. It is often the case that a secondary means of verification will help to reinforce inner confidence in the testing but not everyone can do that either. Those who are visual and seeing a visual indication and then do finger testing will get a corroboration and then the two can be self-reinforcing as to the meaning of what is observed. Inner knowings can be profound as well but not everyone will be spot on with inner knowings coming from Creator as opposed to their own inner expectations or prejudice. So everyone needs to proceed as best they can in their own way and then make a judgment about whether the approach they are exploring is working for them or not.
Keep in mind that intuitive feedback is gravy. It is for informational purposes to help the practitioner learn more about what they are doing and perhaps why a problem is present, but it is unwise to use presence or absence based on finger strength testing to decide whether to carry out a step of the Protocol or skip over it and continue with the rest of the requests, and that is because of uncertainty about accuracy. If you skip over a step thinking it is not needed, the divine realm will be precluded from doing it because you are running your session according to your feedback and hold the intention it can be relied on. It is always safest to do the first Protocol by rote and hold the intention of the individual steps for a time as a witnessing component to provide an interval for the healing circuit to be put in place and continue for a short interval before moving on to the next step. The witnessing can simply be thought of as an opportunity to flex your intuitive muscles, so to speak, and if done as an exercise, what you get will not be rate‑limiting or a definitive interpretation of what was needed and what took place and need not be reported to the client either. So with the absence of any pressure on performance, there will be a maximum chance that the feedback will be unhindered and unimpeded through an emotional reaction getting in the way. That is the best way to practice and build up inner confidence, to see what happens and whether this can be cultivated sufficiently to be useful.
