Eating is an essential part of all of our lives – we simply can’t escape it. How we choose to experience food is up to us as individuals. We can think of food as pure physical nourishment – to give us the calories we need to function – to move, speak, and think.  Or, we can expand our vision to encompass eating as something that connects us to our inner and outer landscapes – our emotions, creativity, mind, heart, truth, expression, intuition, and need for connection with the environment, people, animals, plants, earth, water, planet, and the universe.

 

Much of what we do and how we live is connected to the vitality of our physical body. The body is a vehicle for allowing passions, desires, and dreams to unfold in this physical reality. When we are in sync with our physical self, we will feel capable to survive adequately, even in a world of change and instability.
