Food and Money

I've been thinking a lot recently about the connection between money and food in our societies. My sense is that as most people at this point usually BUY food, rather than pick it from somewhere for free, there is a STRONG connection in our collective consciousness between food and money. This seems to easily lead to situations where people don't want to 'waste' any food and perhaps end up eating more than the BODY actually requires, simply because that food was PAID for with money... Imagine the relationship wild animals have with food in contrast...imagine a zebra overeating 8lbs more grass than it actually requires because it 'bought' it from an antelope and hence feels compelled to use it... ;)

Here's a suggestion – if you find yourself in a situation where you're feeling compelled to 'finish something off', let's say a basket of peaches that are over–ripe...step back for a moment and ask yourself a few questions: 'am I actually hungry?', 'does my BODY want this food, or my mind?', 'is the main reason I want to eat this so that I don't feel it has been 'wasted'?' and so on...maybe also try imagining that you're in an ORCHARD of over–ripe peaches – would you feel compelled to eat them ALL? It is not your 'responsibility' to eat something just because it is ready to be eaten...nature (and industry) produces food in abundance all the time and you don't have to eat it all – lol ;) EVEN if you've paid for a portion of it with money – it is ok to let things go to the compost pile/back to the Earth without passing through your body first... I wrote something along these lines in my book 'Raw Emotions' – I wanted to re–visit these ideas here today though, as I find this money–food connection so interesting and bizarre – the more I look at humans, the more curiosities there seem to be... ;)

Nurturing The Mother

Recently I received an 'SOS' message from two separate women on the same day, both feeling distraught about the same thing: the wonderful natural parenting magazine 'The Mother' from the UK is set to close down, without more support. These two women both felt this would be a HUGE loss in the world of natural parenting/lifestyles and were seeking out extra support for the magazine. I have since been in contact with the editor of the magazine - Veronika - and I've been registering subscriptions for various friends worldwide who are new or soon–to–be parents. I truly feel the value of this magazine too – it has been around for many years and offers outstanding articles on conscious birthing/parenting, peaceful pregnancy, ecstatic natural/home births, breastfeeding, homeschooling and so on – it even has a regular raw food column :)

The Mother magazine is currently being published 6 times a year and subscriptions can be sent anywhere in the world. If YOU too would love to support the vital message of this magazine, you can visit their site and sign up to receive the mag HERE...if not for yourself, then maybe there's a friend you feel would love to read these mags, or a local women's centre where this message might be well received? I sincerely hope that together we can keep The Mother flowing in her divine ways – I feel this is such a key message to keep in circulation...
