Are you hip
to the food trends?
Color - Cut – Shape – Size
As skills of holding present conscious awareness while eating are
being refined and food is now easily recognized as information, have you
noticed any trends?
Trends such as: a tendency to
certain types of foods? Food colors, textures or the fluctuations in the size
of your meals? These qualities are all variations in the information held by the
food. And, like most of us, your body likely varies in its requirement for healthy functioning throughout the day.
When we become more in tune
with our body and begin to discern the signals it is sending, we are then able
to respond with appropriate action. We may start to become more specific with
identifying precisely what our body is calling forth. For example, we might
have been attracted to eating foods that are the color orange for three days in
a row and today we are drawn to green. Or, we may realize our cells need
rehydration versus fuel… so drinking water instead of eating is a more accurate
response. We may notice we are not just hungry but our body wants chlorophyll in
the form of cilantro to aid in the detoxification process.
Whatever level of signal
recognition is most relevant for you, is really for you to discover. There is
no right or wrong. Enjoy getting to know yourself better and keep it fun! We are all different and unique so each encounter with food will be a new experience. The most important thing
for us as balanced biological beings is to work cooperatively with our own innate intelligence.
Meaning, having such an intimate relationship with our own body that we can
recognize, at any given moment, the overall state of health and well-being in
which we are operating… Being able to feel
when we are running smoothly or feel
when we are being challenged. This way, we are able to make choices that aid the
body as it begins to balance itself and choose things towards that course
correction –or- choose to ignore and experience the cascade of resultant
effects that follow.
The organic, inherent,
natural design of our body allows for this automatic recognition of what is
required for optimal vitality. Our job is to be consciously aware and follow
through accordingly.
Stay tuned for the next blog
as we prepare for the holidays and continue to empower ourselves with the skills of inner
knowing!
How colorful is your table?
