-- FOOD & CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION --
 

Given the pre-occupation with food, weight loss and the predominance of wasteful and denatured food proffered to societies at large by fast food and convenience food purveyors, it is timely to attempt to rationalise how food should be thought of and accepted.   

The body heals when cut.  The logical extension of this is the thought that the body is biased towards health and vitality.  Excess weight, poor nutrition and empty energy consumptions are obviously not healthful and therefore are only consumed at the behest of the mind and not the body.   Conscious consumption is the key. 

In changing attitudes towards food and listening to the basic language and wisdom of the body, ideal nutrition and weight is achievable.  It only requires the discipline to not partake in foods for the sake of ease, but for the sake of the body. 

1.             The pea does not cease to exist when consumed, for its substance begins a new form as a part of the consumer, just as the consumer’s substance will eventually become a pea once more.

2.             Giving thanks in favour to anything other than the pea before consumption denies the evolution, purpose and respect due to the pea with which you are about to form an irrevocable physical bond.

3.             Before consumption, food should be shown appropriate thanks and all of its physical and energetic makeup should be welcomed to one’s body.

4.             Conscious and purposeful selection and welcoming of a food into the body allows the mind and body opportunity to discern the suitability of such food in its intended purpose.

5.             The individual concerned with respect of their body and their world will listen carefully to their body’s wishes when discerning both type and quantity of foods to be consumed.

6.             Consuming a food without welcoming it into the body denies both the food being consumed and the body of its rite of passage and union.

7.             Consumption of food without thanks or thought denies the irrevocable fact that one’s organic matrix will inevitably become that which is to be consumed, to be again freed and consumed countless times hence.
