Why do we eat?
It is my belief that 90% of the time we are eating to nourish our emotions.... begin to take the time, ask yourself if you are hungry because your body craves nutrients, or because we are bored, sad, happy, confused, etc... there are a myriad of reasons.
It has been my experience that if we take the time to examine our habits and patterns, one will dis-cover that they are making decisions around food as the child still sitting at the dinner table with mom and dad...
Self love is the number ONE ingredient to a healthy life?
Let me ask you, did you love your self today?

thank you ~~~ this is an amazing reminder... it is vitally important to be responsible for the self first and then the rest follows. amidst all things it is possible to forget that and a reminder is a great gift!
:) thanks a ton!

Gabrielle,
Thank You so much for the invite to this focus group. I am aware that most of the time I am eating for the emotional aspects of life. I know at my core I love myself. I am more quickly becoming absorbed by that full love and allowing it to be who I am. The majority of my life I have suppressed this core desire with the external stimulation of others self doubts and fears. I am being myself and radiating that love for others to reflect upon their pure self. I love myself today!
I have just returned to my home base after a week long hiatus to Portland Oregon area. For the last three years I have been blessed to participate in facilitating and playing chef for Raw and Living Spirit Retreat at Camp Adams. Each year is another beautiful growing experience filled with joyful reflections.
See You soon!

Hmm good question! When I fast 2 times a year, I notice WOW we have SO MUCH MORE TIME if we did not have to eat! And realize how much time we spend buying food, getting it home, storing it, making it, eating it, storing it again or composting it, not to mention all the time and energy planting it, watering it, waiting, harvesting, transporting it, washing it, getting it to the store, or farmer's market most of our time is spent in FOOD! But I read in many spiritual books that food was designed for us to eat, they were designed with seeds to grow, and we were designed to be herbivores to eat fruits and veggies so we are all part of a great big cosmic grand divine plan!
Plus it is fun, yes emotionaly, VERY social, it brings families, people, friends together. But we would save a lot of time if we became breatharian! :D

anything in this life is possible... I ask this question, "why do we eat?" because many people use food to suppress their emotions. Food is a drug... it makes us feel good, high, happy, sad, self loathing, the adjectives keep going. The way we do one thing is the way we do everything... I believe that in every choice, if we find the purest place of self LOVE then it is the "right" choice... the best choice at that moment... everyday that choice will vary... in faith that it will bring us to a place where we are ONLY always choosing out of LOVE... believe in the impossible... there in lies all possibility! xoxo

I am only promoting POSSIBILITY itself... I would think as a raw foodist and your own wealth of knowledge that you understand that ALL possibility exists ... even that which we feel is impossible... our bodies are energy and I believe that we have the POTENTIAL to reach a place where we have the ability to create on energy alone as we breath in the prana... I recognize that this take time.. possibly more time than one has on this planet in activating enough DNA cells and brain capacity to pull this off... again... I am simply promoting POSSIBILITY and you better believe that I am going to tell each and every person I know that they are capable of MORE tan what they think is REAL... it takes time, research, dedication... above all any possibility takes FAITH... whether it is around LOVE, BUSINESS, FOOD, RELIGIOUS VIEWS, etc... Possibility baby... it's what this life is all about!

Watch all three nights online. Some great info was given, but seemed like it was all about getting people to buy more and more products. All I know is that they made a TON of money.
How so?

Can I come over to yer Tonic Bar, Wrenn?
I irrigate my nose with salt water after almost every shift. I use a little bit of salt with my toothpaste every now and again. My silver fillings are pretty stable and I've noticed a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I use salt so I don't. Clov...
I believe that the body can heal itself if given the support. I'm a nurse in a nursing home and I've seen the body cling to life no matter how much poison is thrown at it.
Sounds ridiculous to me. Anyone actually older and experiencing longevity there? I doubt it. I live out in the country in the general direction of God's fart zone and perhaps that's better than getting caught up in this sort of materialistic stuff...
