The Intimacy of Food

If you celebrate the American Thanksgiving this week, you will choose the food that you will share with your body. Each time you chew and swallow a piece of your meal, you are giving that food permission to become a part of who you are. It integrates into your skin, organs, bones and soul.

As we eat clean and pure food, we become more aware of our connection to everything on this planet, and also more intuitive. You might have noticed this already. A plate of French fries makes you feel like a soggy potato, while a crisp apple brings you back the energy you had when you picked orchard apples as a child. That apple also clears your mind so that you can make choices that feel best to you at a very deep level.

As you get ready to enjoy meals this week, please ask yourself a few things:

1. Will you let the chemicals of corn syrup become part of you?
2. Will you be thankful for or abuse the bird that will pass its strength into your body?
3. Will you be most supported by the yams from a can, or the sweet potatoes bought from the organic farmer who grew them with care?
4. Do you prefer to have your new cells and bones built from a huge piece of store bought chocolate cake, or from a naturally sweetened fruit dessert?

I truly hope that all of you will enjoy the delicious meals that your families share with you this week.
