Conscious Food for Conscious People

Food is the source of energy for the body. Ingredients we use for coking and the way we prepare the food, in the terms of both technique and consciousness, determine the quality of that energy. From the quality of energy our body receives depends our health, and from the quality of energy our mind receives depends the way of our thinking and feeling. If we want good, vital health and positive, inspiring, constructive flow of thoughts and emotions in our mind we have to get a good quality of “fuel” on everyday basis. Eating is the part of our life that is not avoidable, no matter who we are, where we live, and what we do. Eating quality and eating habits can make us sick or make us healthy. The choice is our.

Besides having a vital influence on our personal health, food is tightly incorporated in our social lives. Eating is connecting people and giving a pleasant platform for the social interactions. From the Sunday family table to the big company events, from the group parties and celebrations to the intimate lovers late night dinners; food is there to make our relationships sweeter and more entertaining. In his writings the famous Russian doctor and bioenergetics Lazarev wrote how people are more sensitive on the subtle level while eating. That’s why it’s very important in which atmosphere and in which mood we take the food: pleasantly talking or arguing, in the fresh smelling garden or in front of the TV?

After understanding how much eating is important we can go deeper into the subject, behind the sauces, gravies, pastries, hot soups and cold desserts that are melting in our mouth. Who made all those wonders, how that person was feeling, what was thinking while cooking? You think it’s not important? Oh, yes, it’s very much important. The fact is that while our body enjoys the taste and absorbs the nutrition of the food, our subtle body “eats” all the emotions and moods of the cook who has produced that taste. It’s so simple and logic, but still so many times hidden from our attention. That’s why in cultures where understanding of this low of nature exists, like in India, cooking is considered honorable activity and being a cook is honorable position within society. And why every child in the world loves mothers or grandmothers kitchen above all? Because they made it with love and care. Maybe in today’s “fast food culture” is not so much the case, but it was throughout the history and it’s supposed to be like that! And just think for a moment what kind of energy “fast food culture” provides to our health, to our relationships and to our integrity… Fortunately, there are more and more awakening sighs in the world today, like Food Revolution, Vegan and similar type of Movements that has been bringing nature’s scale back to balance and sense of purpose back to life.             

  

The consciousness, intention, mood, and feeling – all these count in the cooking the same as stirring, frying and mixing the spices. That’s why the cooking is skill, art and philosophy in the same time. It requires skilled hands, full focus and loving heart on what you’re doing in the kitchen, if you want to make a conscious food for a conscious people. One day while driving on Santa Monica in LA we saw a title of a vegan restaurant: Conscious Food for Conscious People. We looked at each other and knew that our thoughts just have manifested.
