Simply….it is eating some form of a mostly whole food/plant based eating plan that works for you.
People who are expressing their Higher Self choose more whole foods and plants, 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. Did I mention drinking water, water, water? A whole food/plant based eating plan will consist of: nuts, unprocessed seeds, lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, and vegetable proteins providing natures nutrients without additional substances you do not need. Juicing is a wonderful adjunct to conscious eating.
Like most Americans….the idea of giving up virtually all animal products seemed ludicrous to me. The whole idea was strange from the perspective of my human self, but my spiritual self was assuring me that it would be easier than I thought. When I decided to make the move to a whole food/plant based eating plan I decided to dive in and forget about testing the waters. Interestingly enough, my spiritual self was right….it wasn’t hard at all! I knew I didn’t want to give up all animal products, so I decided to keep a few of the ones that I knew had the lowest amount of protein per gram as well as the ones lowest in casein (a protein found in milk). I will discuss in later issues why lowering your protein and focusing mostly on plants (fruits and veggies) more healthful for your body and evidenced in scientific research.
I believe I never had any food struggles or an unhealthy food relationship because I value my self love and self-worth, which are crucial to eating from your God-Self. Add to that, I have always had an innate honor of my body temple. These three principles have kept me in Divine Alignment and subsequently I express high vibrational food consciousness and you can too!
Self love and Self-worth are not just ethereal beliefs or thoughts that enter your mind and then disappear. That information you call thoughts can shape your life and drive you toward success, happiness, and health. How you think and feel can have a profound effect on your ability to perform and achieve the goals that you have set for yourself and manifest your desires. But remember an optimistic mind must also be an honest one. Staying positive does not mean that you ignore unhealthy symptoms or your possible obsession with food. Positive thinking dramatically increases your chance of success in any endeavor including your food struggles.
When you are sure that you are worthy and love yourself; any achievement is within your grasp because you relax and look for solutions such as realizing your wholeness rather dwelling on your problems. You are also more likely to imagine yourself without food struggles then to stay mired in an unhealthy food relationship that produces illness and dis-ease. What the mind expects, it will find. Thinking positively may sound like a simple shift in consciousness, as it is, but it also comes from the mindset and value of self love and self-worth. We will begin a philosophical journey of how self love and self worth are connected to conscious eating and consciousness in the March and April release of this blog.
