Intuitive Eating & Gratitude


For the other chakras you will find posts on what to eat to nourish your energy centers. The sixth and seventh chakra are more spiritual than physical and therefore they nourish more from other sources than food. The sixth and seventh chakra feed on subtle energy, such as love, gratitude, air and sun light. However, foods that are pure, such as non-GMO and organic foods help keep these higher chakras open and clear. 

Instead of taking food for granted, see if you can find a new appritiation for food by cultivating gratitude. Before you eat, take a moment to be grateful for what you have in front of you. Be thankful for all the people who have been involved in the food process from the farms to the stores, for the sunlight, earth and water, for having money to buy food and for all the nutritions in the food to keep you healthy...

Our bodies constantly send us signals on what we need to create balance. The more we begin to listen and respond to the body, the more signals you will receive in order to create balance and mind-body-soul harmony. So see if you can become more curious to these signals;
What is your body trying to tell you? 

Food and diet is a hot topic in media and often discussed with friends, colleges, family. Is it possible learn to eat more intuitively? Rather than swallowing other peoples facts and opinions take a moment to check in with what is true to you. 

As with everything else in yoga and every other aspect in life, 
You are your own guru. 

Even more importantly than what you eat, pay attention and become aware of how different foods effect your energy, how does it make you feel? 





Namaste
