There have been times that I just wish my body would talk to me! It could tell me what herbal formulas would help it to heal, how much to take, and whether other healing modalities that are being recommended, are the best thing for my body. I would know what foods would best support me. If I had a headache, it may help me to understand why, so I could do something about it.  

 

Well, there is a way; applied kinesiology. Also known as biomechanics and muscle strength testing, applied kinesiology is the study of body movement. It is based on the belief that various muscles are linked to particular organs and glands, and that specific muscle weakness can signal distant internal problems.  In the 28 paged booklet, Doctors Could Be Wrong, Find out for Yourself! , the author Becky Utley takes the reader through 7 basic steps in communicating with your body, and receiving the answers you are looking for. "Muscle testing, at its best, is used as a support tool, a confirmation or second witness to your own intuition..." With the instruction in this booklet, you can learn how to ask your body questions, and learn how it answers back. 

 

Becky puts everything in simplistic terms so that you are able to; "[take] responsibility to use all that is in our power to take care of our own health. Muscle testing can be a great tool to assist us in knowing what is right for us." 

 

If you are ready to begin muscle testing today, this is the booklet for you!

1 pound butternut squash, cubed

1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved

1 medium gala apple, cut into a 1/2 inch dice

2 shallots, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided into 2 tbsp. and 1 tbsp.

1 cup onion, diced

1 cup celery, diced

10 slices bread of choice: crusty sourdough, dry cornbread, whole grain, or, if you are gluten free, millet bread from Food for Life will work nicely. Prior to preparing the recipe, leave bread out for a day to become slightly dry, then cut into cubes.

1 1/2 cups vegetable broth (plus extra as needed)

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup pecans or walnuts

Sea salt and pepper to taste

 

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the squash, Brussels sprouts, apples, and shallots in 2 tbsp. oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast till vegetables are very tender (I actually like my sprouts a bit singed) and remove from oven. Reduce oven heat to 350.

Heat other tbsp. oil in a large pot. Sautee the onion and celery till translucent (about 5-8 min). Add the bread cubes and allow them to get golden brown with the veggies in the oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

 

Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, cranberries, pecans, and seasonings. Stir the mix till the broth has almost entirely absorbed in the toasted bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Serve hot and delicious.
