The Art of Cooking, Healing and Increased Awareness

Cooking is an expression of creativity: the best part of the meal is the preparation, using your imagination and creativity to create works of art. 

All creativity helps with the flow of emotions and the movement of energy through the chakras. Cooking with colourful fruits and vegetables can ignite healing energies in the body.

When eating clean foods you do not inhibit the bodily functions and aid yourself through detoxification of toxins, emotions and low frequency energies. There are certain foods that elevate the consciousness and there are foods for every chakra. There’s generally a progression through the system to raise the frequency of the body, emotions and mind.  Healthful foods can help to bridge the emotional gap between the lower chakras and the higher ones.

Mindful Eating: listening to what your body is telling you and interpreting it. Cravings can be an indication of a lack of some nutrient. So if we can interpret what they mean then we would be able to make a different and more healthful choice.

Habitual eating can be a big hurtle for people to get over. The things that are seemingly easy become the go to foods and there’s rarely any deviation from the routine. Not knowing what to do instead is always an excuse…they don’t try to tap into their own creativity. Routine is a big deal, it keeps us in patterns and keeps us from experiencing what else the world has to offer. Some people decide they can’t do something before they even try. Giving up before you even begin will prevent you from moving forward in life and if you do it with food what else in your life are you doing it with. What else are you holding yourself back from doing? What experiences could you be having in your life? Life is an open book, don’t limit yourself by not reading past the first chapter…there is so much more to discover. Food is the same, eating healthy isn’t a chore. It only seems that way because when you start to make changes to your diet you realize how much of our society surrounds food and lower frequency foods. Whenever people come together there is always food involved. When we are eating healthy this becomes a problem because we can feel alienated from the others and as human spirits we crave connections. There has to be a shift in ideals about food…food should be creative, healthful and fun. 

“A true master does not ‘give up’ something. A true master simply sets it aside, as he would do with anything for which he longer has use. There are those who say you must overcome your desires. I say you must simply change them. The first practice feels like a rigorous discipline, the second, a joyful experience” –Conversations with God, Book 1 page 70.
