Today I was captivated by Sally Whitwell's rendition of this beautiful classical piece of music by Philip Glass which came on Radio National as I was driving back to the office from a breakfast meeting at Springfield Lakes. Music evokes such powerful emotion in me, so unexpectedly at times, it catches me by surprise like an old friend that sees you on the street and grabs you in an embrace. My mother was a musician and immersed me in instrumental music, song and dance from a very young age. I feel her with me at these times and perhaps that is why I long to linger there.....
After the breakfast meeting time seemed to get away from me and as did lunch but my morning happy shake and the fruit from the breakfast buffet, some almonds & brazil nuts and of course the enchanting music, have sustained me quite well all day - well don't they say when you're in love you forget your apettite? In general though I'm finding that hunger pangs are not as strong or frequent and my explanation is that eating raw, living foods is so nourishing that the desire to constantly fill up is decreased. I also noted that I have not experienced any stomach pains or feeling of being too full. Sometimes in the past after I would eat something, I would feel pain or so sick (or full and bloated) and zapped of energy that I would have to lie down. Those outcomes were my body saying: 'I don't know what this is, how do I deal with it - HELP!' I snacked on some apple & walnuts (those two really do make such a lovely couple) before a nutrient rich salad for dinner. I've just found a recipe for raw apple & walnut cookies on Raw LouLou's blog so the dehydrator will be fired up again this weekend!
“Treat your body like a temple, not a woodshed. The mind and the body work together. Your body needs to be a good support system for the mind and the spirit. If you take good care of it, your body can take you wherever you want to go, with the power and the strength and energy and vitality you will need to get there.”
