Diet is not a Religion


The physical body is a magnificent creation!! Without it we would not be able to remain on the planet in physical form. After spending years in medical school, I am in awe of it’s ability. The physical body has it’s own intelligence and hums like a well oiled machine as long as we don’t interfere with it’s innate function.

Food, air and water are blessings that feed our physical body. They supply nutrients to the cells to regenerate and perform the functions that allow us to move about in the world with ease and grace.

When did man decide that it knows better than the body… that it isn’t thin enough, strong enough, or attractive enough?

Since that time, we’ve been tampering with what we eat and how we eat it. Granted, there are many on the planet who are eating unconsciously. And there are those who are attempting to feed an out of control emotional body. There are also a growing number who are waking up to the intimate connection between a healthy body and how we feed it.

As a result diets have become as much of a fad as clothing with a new designer line appearing every season. Each of these diets come with a set of rules that are as stringent and judgmental as the religions that tell us we’re going to hell if we don’t abide by them.

Wake up my Beloveds. We are living in a time of transition. The galactic energies, our planet, and our physical bodies are changing exponentially. We are becoming less dense and therefore how we feed our body needs to change. Fortunately, our body knows how to do this, even if we don’t. It’s time to sync fully into our physical temple and allow it to guide our way.

Each of our bodies are unique and each of us are in different phases of transition. So there is no one diet that fits all. . . but, there are some ever-evolving guidelines from a few cutting edge scientists, nutritionists and energy healers that will continue to metamorphose. These suggestions may be sound, but your physical body is still the expert.

I can share with you some of what my body has been asking for during these times of accelerated transition to ease the way. These are guidelines, not rules. As you will see, I do not eat the same way every day. Energy is fluctuating, so does my diet. See if any of these resonate with you.

~ Drink lots of clear water to flush toxins, preferably not city tap water.
~ Conscious breathing increases the oxygen levels necessary for regeneration.
~ When overly emotional, my body is not digesting well so I eat sparingly.
~ Sun flares are delivering electromagnetic waves that are transmuting the body. When they hit it’s a good time to eat sparingly and rest for a more conducive integration and rebalancing of energy. Or… your body may ask to be more active with more food to facilitate moving the energy through more easily. Listen and respond very carefully during these times.
~ During active cell regeneration, my body needs extra protein.
~ Eat plenty of alkaline foods. Excess acidity promotes disease.
~ Increase foods high in minerals.
~ Eat the most live food possible: organic, raw, regional and seasonal. (note: I am not promoting a rigid “raw” or “vegan” diet unless your body is asking for it)

~ Feeling stuck? Avoid glutenous foods (key word “glu”), specifically processed wheat.
~ Spending time in nature rebalances our energy field.
~ I eat when I’m hungry regardless of time, usually intermittent small meals, rather than scheduled large ones. If my dreamtime lingers through the morning, I delay my breakfast until I feel hungry, because my body is too multidimensional to digest properly.
~ My thoughts feed my body. I focus on Rejuvenation, rather than disease. I focus on Love, rather than judgment or anger. I focus on Joy, rather than suffering.
~ The body is nurtured by more than food. It thrives on music, art, literature and all forms of beauty so be sure to feed all the senses.

I am intentionally not giving lists of foods. I’d rather you research for yourself and allow your body to indicate it’s calling as you do so. I just read two articles: The Top Imune Boosters and The 7 most Alkaline foods. ALL of those foods are already in my regular daily diet because my body has been asking for them. If you’re not accustomed to listening to your body, just pay attention to what your body is feeling while you read over these lists and while you’re walking consciously through the aisles of the grocery store. For example: my body feels nauseous if I walk through the meat department, a clear indication of what it does not want. It always loves hanging out in the organic produce department. :-) )))

We are in the process of creating new physical templates. Just remember that your body knows best. No matter what diet or suggestions you may settle upon, continue to listen intently and make changes in the moment as they are called for.

Eating is a Joy!!! When you’re happy so is your body. Diet is not a religion. We do not need to suffer! A happy body is a healthy body. I wish for you a vibrant healthy body!!

Germination of your God~Seed

Once upon a time there was a little seed. Oh such a beautiful seed it was! Shaped like a teardrop, with a shinny shell the color of sweet creme butter. For a long time, this seed lived in a mustard colored bowl with fellow seeds all filled with potential. Every day the seeds would talk with each other and chatter about all the wonderful things they would do in the distant future.

Then one day, this little seed was removed from the bowl with a handful of other seeds. Within moments, it was thrust into a damp dark place. Alone and confused, it looked around, but it saw only darkness. It called out for its friends, but no one responded. He was alone, totally alone. Chilled and afraid, he eventually fell asleep.

When he awoke, the sweet pungent scent of earth enveloped him. It was still dark, but the darkness felt like a warm embrace that he had awaited for so long. His shinny shell was vibrating with a primordial humm soothing his very soul. Listening for the source of the music, he found none, so he diverted his attention into himself where he found a tiny spark. The music drew him in, until he began humming along with it. As he did, the spark expanded. When his song took on more timber, the colors changed. Louder and louder he sang. Brighter and brighter his flame grew. Until….his shiny shell cracked wide open!

Oh my, what had he done!!! Water began seeping in from everywhere. There was no escape from it. He began to hear the voices of the others, his former seed friends. They all sounded in distress. He called out, but there was no answer. So he diverted his attention back to his flame. Despite the humidity, it continued to grow brighter, so he continued to sing. One by one he heard his friends joining his song, timidly at first, until the symphony took on a new timber.

Tiny roots snaked down into the earth following the pathways of the water. Oh it felt so good to expand beyond his shell, feeling his way, moment by moment. The song went deeper and deeper with resounding bass notes joining the tonal quality of the roots of grandmother tree, who gave him strength. Then with a boisterous push he used his breath to reach higher, way beyond his known scale to infinite vibrations. And voila’. . . He burst into the sunlight with a glorious vibrato!

The sun was warm on his countenance and for awhile he simply basked in its goodness. Before long, that wasn’t enough. He had a whole new world to explore and that he would. Leaf by leaf he grew taller and proliferated. The sun grew warmer and the dew kept his leaves moist. One morning, as the skies grew pink, a heavenly scent ensconced him. What was the source of this divine radiance? Try as he might, he could not find it.

A brilliant yellow butterfly flitted over and landed on one of his stems. “Tell me my friend, where is this heavenly scent coming from?” he asked.

The butterfly laughed, “‘Tis you my dear friend, ‘tis you. You have the most beautiful flowers in all the garden and it is their scent you smell.”

“Why me?” he asked.

“Because your song is the sweetest,” she answered.

“And why is that?”

“Because, it comes from your heart. Now, my beloved friend, I must be off because all the other flowers in the garden are requesting to be pollinated by you. ‘Tis an honor indeed.” Before the butterfly flew off, she kissed on of his gentle petals and whispered, “Just keep singing, I’ll be back.”

So, my Beloved friends, I ask you:

Do you choose to stay in your hard shells in the clay bowl chatting with all of your friends of the days to come…..

Or, do you choose to dive into the adventure of the darkness of the womb and experience the Germination of your God~seed?
