[Everything doTERRA] Re: Muscle Testing as a Christian

thank you for sharing. I am inspired by your natral approach and I had
know idea what muscle testing was. Continue to pray and trust the Holy
Spirit with the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and discernment.

I just looked up muscle testing and read about how it tied in with
traditional chinese medicine.

I am reminded of eastern concepts where such as feng shui which some
see as simply interior design, others explan through color psychology,
earts magneic pull, and how our blood has iron, ad some say it has to
be done awa with spiritual house cleaning.

Personaly from experience, I had to steer clear from those types of
things or to ask God for counsel.

I am also inspired by giving glory to God through His gifts.

Whe you talked about asking your body, "If you are not talking to God
who are you talking to?" That is an excellent question.

I will send an email. Here in Hawaii, we have many people with Asian
and Paciic island decent. We know our ancestrial practices and its
spiritual roots which may not be of God. It is very difficult to let
go for some of he people here that give their life to God t first and
for others it is very difficult to identify. Sometimes some churches
dont believe in the spiritual aspects.

An example is martial arts which can be a great form of work
out ,combat, self defense.
I know of Christian martial artist.
However there are those in martial artist which go beyond physical
moves toa full on philosophy some to go as far as bringing out qi or
kit to exert inner power. This may be prblematic for a Chrisitian walk
and beliefs.

I hope this helps. I know you wil find the answers!
Sorry if I offended or may not been helpful.
