Your body healing itself sounds mystical until you experience it. It is a humbling experience when someone has to pick your naked body off the ground and drop you in a bathtub because you are in debilitating pain. I know because it happened to me.
I used to run 8-10 miles every single day. One morning I woke up with the sharpest, most debilitating pain in my lower back. I spent months in physical and chiropractic therapy, trying to stand fully upright again. I had a 45-degree slouch for almost six months.
Asking For Help
Around this time, I was focusing some of my spiritual efforts into finding a cure. I tried acupuncture, reiki, and guided meditation with relaxing short-term, but few long-term results.
So I sat very still, began breathing deeply, and went into a meditative state. I asked to be shown a way to release my pain and be healthy again, and then I dwelled in the feeling of imagining full mobility and renewed energy.
The next day, I walked into my chiropractor’s office. They mentioned a nutrition program. The nutritionist explained how it had helped many people sleep better, lose weight, and rid themselves of pain.
Nutritional Response Testing
Nutritional response testing is based on the ideomotor phenomenon, which says that the body sometimes reacts reflexively to ideas alone. My theory is that everything in the universe gives off a certain frequency. Through the ideomotor phenomenon, the testing can determine if your body resonates with a certain frequency.
Not one week after starting my program, I felt a lot better. After a month, my back pain had subsided significantly, I had shed almost ten pounds, and I had more energy than I had had since high school.
What I Learned
The idea is that when your body is in full balance, it will heal itself. Years of terrible eating habits, alcohol abuse, and worse had put my body completely out of whack.
There is a root to every ache and pain in the body. Whether it be lower back pain, the flu, or depression, the body shows us symptoms so that we can examine our lives and understand what is good and what is bad for us.
Developing a Life Philosophy
I rolled my suitcase into my chiropractor’s office with 73 books to do response testing with. The results were fascinating.
The books that resonated included The Secret Teachings of Jesus, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Power of Now, and the Holy Bible.
Like great art, a great life philosophy is one that forces you to think, continues to challenge, and pushes you towards your own greatness.
The Answers Lie Within
What nutritional response testing has taught me is that the answers lie within. What works for one person may not work for another, but we can acknowledge what we see working in others’ lives and then turn inwardly to see if it resonates with us.
I no longer had to take someone else’s word for what was true. I could ask my own body and trust the response.
This is the lens the Bible is meant to be read through.
