Healing with Food

All foods contain a healing essence that goes beyond the materialized level. (Lesson 2 on Healing is in Your Hands)

There are several ways to view eating for healing. On the materialized level, we ask the body to absorb the nutritional and vitamin content of our foods, which is challenging if the digestive system is not in balance. If we select foods based on the non-materialized level, we give the body healing essence — the information that the body knows how to instinctively use.

Trust your body. Your food cravings are messages coming from deep within asking for support. For example, you love chocolate and want something sweet. On the materialized level you think sugar is bad for me. Yet on the non-materialized level we understand sugar breaks stress and supports the Stomach and Liver. You are what you eat, and you are what you think.
