How did this book begin, where did the name come from and what does Bridging Foods truly mean?
In June 2003 I had a life threatening illness, after surviving this I was introduced to a practitioner named Serge Benhayon through a friend. I listened to what Serge Benhayon presented to me in the Esoteric Healing session and felt that what had been presented supported me to make sense of my 'near death experience'. Within the gentle hands on Esoteric Healing session I reconnected to my true self and I felt my inner-most essence.
Serge Benhayon is the founder of Universal Medicine and a well known presenter and practitioner of Esoteric Medicine. He practices extensively on the East Coast of Australia from his clinic in Goonellabah and travels overseas twice a year to his European based clinic The Sound Training Centre (next to The Lighthouse) In Somerset UK.
I asked Nicole Sjardin, a close friend, to travel with me to Lennox Head NSW to participate in a Universal Medicine workshop Serge Benhayon was presenting in May 2004. The workshop gave us an opportunity to connect to ourselves, to have a sense of who we truly are and thus begin to understand that it is possible to know yourself from the inside out, from your inner-most. Nicole and I recognised that we had been living by looking at who we were from the outside in, from everything that the world teaches us and tells us. We were not listening to our bodies own intelligence.
From this experience Nicole and I were inspired to look more closely at our lives to begin to get a sense of how things affected us, a significant focus for us was how food affected our bodies, what was happening on the inside after we ate something and how did our bodies truly feel after we ate something?
Serge Benhayon talks about the energy of food. He does mention certain foods, like gluten and dairy, salt and sugar and the energetic affect they have on our physical body. He does not say what to or what not to eat but rather to feel how food makes you feel.
“Is it worth the body losing energy in digesting one thing, when it
could easily digest something much easier, faster and have more
energy in the process?” Serge Benhayon
Nicole and I collected recipes that would support our own choices to begin a gluten and dairy free way of eating. The end result was Bridging Foods. With the title being suggested by Serge Benhayon and the overall book completely inspired by the teachings of Universal Medicine. So, Bridging Foods is as you would imagine a bridge, a cookbook; that presents you with a choice to eat gluten and dairy free, providing a bridge for you to begin to move from one side of the bridge which is how you have been eating to cross to the other side of the bridge where you begin to make choices that eliminate certain foods that do not support your body anymore. Gluten and Dairy may be just some of the foods that you eliminate from your food choices, but there just might be other foods that you discover that if you let go of your body feels so much lighter and lovelier.
The information and recipes within Bridging Foods allow you to explore your own food choices and how different food feels in your body. What you do or do not eat is now your choice. Nicole and I, although now gluten and dairy free, eat very differnetly. May the book serve to support you to make the food choices that bring greater harmony and vitality to you and your body. Our choices re food are constantly being refined and if you stay in tune with what your body is telling you you may also discover that your relationship with food and what to or not to eat will last a lifetime.
