What is Source? I contend that it is God, Spirit, Creator, Higher self, True self, the Divine, or as Yoda would say “the Force”.
From the moment you are born, your soul carries with it an imprint of experiences from past incarnations and, most importantly, the essence of your Creator. You are in this body to work through issues to move toward “wholeness” so that your soul continues to evolve. Wholeness comes from making Source the focus in your life. The soul is the inward manifestation of your consciousness and your body is the living, breathing expression of that consciousness. Your soul (God’s essence) yearns for you to know your “true self” and find the peace that comes from within rather than outside yourself.
Your spiritual well-being is a reflection of your level of consciousness and connectedness to Source, which is demonstrated by your words, thoughts, choices, and actions. Conscious people form Divine routines that reaffirm self love, gratitude, forgiveness, and meditation, as well as taking care of one’s well being which also tends to include a Divine Practice that promotes healthy living and wholeness. People who are expressing their Higher self choose more plant based whole foods, water to hydrate, look within to heal their bodies, minimize nutrient depleted foods like sugar, use natural body care products on their skin, and give their bodies love through meditation, massage, and positive self talk.
However, striking the right balance between our human self and spiritual self is one of the most challenging aspects of existence. In your lifetime, you are responsible for nurturing and tending to both selves with equal love and devotion. Unfortunately as a whole, Americans seem to be in an unconscious state spending more energy tending to the human side of themselves, thus producing a society where more than half of us are overweight and obese. You are only “whole” to the degree that you can embrace both sides of your being. Just as you must tend to the seed of your soul to ensure it grows and evolves, so, too, must you care for the body or “the meat suit”, as my sister likes to refer to it, to make certain the body is capable and healthy enough to play its role in your development. Denying the critical importance of one or the other can lead to ill health, emotional distress, and incompleteness which will shift you away from your journey to “wholeness”.
Through your relationships, even relationships with food, the universe conspires to teach you exactly what you need to be learning at any given time. Food may not seem like an obvious teacher because it may not look like your idea of a guru. But food, left whole and treated with love, embodies an energy that feeds the soul. When the soul is nourished by “wholesome” food, Divine choices breed vibrant health and provide sustenance that makes spiritual well-being come naturally. The people and situations you encounter daily teach you, if you are open and conscious to receiving their wisdom. Some people you know, and others that you just pass in the store or the sidewalk, are always teaching you what NOT to do…..considering more than half of Americans are overweight or obese. Why is this? What has happened to us?Divesting yourself from what no longer serves you, such as fear and self limiting behaviors, are just some of the food relationship challenges you will face in this lifetime. As you awaken and embody your spiritual well being, you will become more attuned to your bodies desire for Divine nourishment. The Force of the Universe speaks to all of us through different channels and each of us have our own frequency and timing in which we become aware. Put God first and you will see your body temple as a gift to covet with conscious food choices that are created from a healthy food relationship.
