I'm continually amazed at the power of food and how it can change a person's perception in life. The most basic, elemental building blocks of life begin with what we put in our mouths. Feel crappy? Look at what you're eating. It's projecting how you are feeling right back at you. Feel good? Make a note of it because it is likely in harmony with who you really are. God, or Source Energy, can speak to us in many ways including through others, through our feelings and through our food.
In my experience, there are three basic requirements for good health - eat, sleep and move. It's pretty simple, really. If any one of these is deficient, you'll feel out of alignment or disconnected or just plain ol' bad. The triangle is the strongest shape in existence. There is power in 3's. An old friend once told me you can have anything you want in this world and it can be good, fast or cheap, but you can only have two of them at a time. It can be good and fast, but it won't be cheap. It can be fast and cheap, but it won't be good. You get the picture. That may hold true for this world, but what about Spirit? The same premise translates into eat, sleep and move. Yet, there are three items you can have AT THE SAME TIME. You MUST have all three at the same time to experience balance. A deficiency in any one area will leave the triangle weak. If you're feeling crappy, look at one of those areas and determine what you can shore up. The magical part here is that you don't have to look to anyone or circumstances around you to do this. All you have to do, is look at yourself. ( Hmmm, here's a quick observation - when you can have three things at the same time, does that mean it is in alignment? I think of the trinity, signs coming in three's and the fact that my friend's statement holds true for this world, not the other. Just a thought.)
So often we fall into defining ourselves by the projections in our lives. By looking outside of ourselves. If others respond positively to us and our actions, then we are 'good'. If not, then, we are 'bad'. How about the law of attraction? If we attract what we define as 'good' then we are in alignment. But if we attract what we define as 'bad', then we are out of alignment. What if you were able to look into yourself using the triad mentioned above to determine yourself what is good or bad based on how you FEEL? What if you could look inside for your own projections and not to the people or circumstances around you? Check in with your own thoughts; how they feel is an indication of where they originate.
If you feel good, the Universe will deliver more for you to feel good about because your perceptions are clear. If you feel bad, and choose to perpetuate it, the Universe will deliver confirmation that life is bad. Here's the kicker, you ARE the Universe. Your perception is the Universe. Use the eat, sleep, move triad as a tool to shift your interpretation of life, to understand it or to just feel better .
Here's a story called "Little Fish" by Anthony de Mello:
"Excuse me," said an ocean fish. "You are older than I, so can you tell me where to find this thing they call the ocean?"
"The ocean," said the older fish, "is the thing you are in now."
"Oh, this? But this is water. What I'm seeking is the ocean," said the disappointed fish as he swam away to search elsewhere.
The message is this, "Stop searching, little fish. There isn't anything to look for. All you have to do is look."
