What's in your recipe?          

                                                                            

Yesterday I was listening to Dr Gabriel Cousens MD, founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center speak about nutrition. His message delivered a very personalized take on nutrition....."one needs to bring in their own personal constitution." There are many different takes on what entails the best dietary choi...ces for us, you need more omega 3's, less omega 6's, no red meat, eww, stay away from cows milk, all white flour and sugar will harm you, bathe in olive oil, drink 1 glass of red wine a day........the recommendations from the "experts" is daunting, to say the least. I really liked the message given to me yesterday by Dr Cousens as it stressed your own personal make up and beliefs. He is a spiritual, plant-based, uncooked, healing nutrition kind of foodie. He avoids all meat because of spiritual beliefs along with scientific data that supports this view of "living raw foods". We're not trying to convince anybody to eat a specific way, that is a very personal choice. I think the principle at work here is to first know yourself and move forward with choices that resonate with you. This concept also applies to living in general. My idea of a great weekend getaway probably differs from yours; we are different people shaped from different preferences and experiences. What ignites my fire might just rain on your parade! It makes me smile to observe such diversity among people I meet, but I especially enjoy opposing views from balanced, conscious individuals who know themselves and keep an open mind to evolve even further. We're all unique in our constitution and that projects itself outward showing others who we are. From the ingredients we place into our minds and hearts we formulate a recipe that is the foundation of who and what we become. It is during heartache, tragedy, trauma, despair, stressors, that our ingredients then cook and manifest themselves as our own personal signature dish. What's left over in you garbage bowl (Rachel Ray plug) is that which is not of any use to your personal development, get it off your plate now. Think I'll go outside and marinate for a while. Bon appetit !
