everyone else, I can relate to this perspective; however, it is just a theory and I don't see the benefit to embracing it as my own.
The economy has certainly impacted me as it has the rest of the world. Evidenced by the way the Standard American Diet is no longer a disaster limited to the United States. People around the world are altering their eating habits due to the rising cost
of foods, and even though this may be good news for manufacturers and packaging companies, it's terrible news for the health of our planet. In fact, the more attention we place on our bank accounts, the sicker we become. I’m not quite sure where we learned that money is THE priority; so much so that we’ll jeopardize the relationships in our life in order to make sure we have
‘enough’.
Interestingly enough, our financial wellbeing is suffering. Without a doubt, our bodies and associations are reflecting this. The question is, how long do we want to perpetuate this way of existing OR are we ready to shift gears and step into a healthier, more powerful paradigm?
There is a reason for everything and maybe, just maybe, we’ve created this economy to be the motivator we need to get
back to basics. Doesn’t it make sense to resume a simpler, less complex life? What would the benefit be to you and your family to have such an existence?
Part of what’s causing so much craziness is the desire to figure out and understand everything. This is a very cerebral
way of life which completely removes you from your heart. On the other hand, heart centered living allows you to lead an inspired life right down to the foods you choose. When we’re in touch with our hearts / intuition, we know exactly how to feed our bodies in order to be at the top of our game. PLUS, the foods don’t have to be expensive packaged foods. What if we resumed going to the market on a daily basis to pick up what we need for the day. Maybe we need nuts and seeds one day, and maybe more grains and fruit the next. Who knows, our body’s needs vary from day to day as do the needs of our family’s.
Yes, this approach completely eliminates the need to meal plan, and doesn’t that provide some sense of relief? If going
to the store everyday doesn’t work for you, at least have cold storage in order to keep grains, nuts, seeds, veggies, and such as fresh as possible and begin coaching and allowing your family to develop heart centered eating as well.
This does take practice as well as lots of patience and compassion as the body adjusts to being the guide; however, when
we release the need to know and control the healthier our hearts, minds, bodies and bank accounts.
Low funds could very well be indicative of low heart connection. Devaluing our intuition and knowing puts out the message we’re not worth the energy. Money is energy and as I always say, our external world is simply Source reflecting our internal world. Take comfort and know we’re all getting the same message right now, and as we begin to shift our internal world of value and worth, the more we’ll see the external world revealing the same. However, it’s going to take each one of us independently taking this on in order to see the collective change.
