Food Mood and Soul

"Every food we eat has a spiritual and energetic effect on the body, mind and on our soul. Becoming aware and working on it consciously makes a solid foundation to our Mind and Spirit".

In almost every culture, food has been playing a special physical and spiritual role, and with that, many rules have been made out. The Jewish tradition forbids eating pork, the Hindus forbid eating beef, and many Native American tribes prohibit eating foods that are not sacred. Conversely, there are spiritual foods that bestow the spiritual power. I believe food is itself a powerful medicine, when it comes to many problems in our body. The remedy always lies in what we take in, and what we leave out. Often, questioning on the choices of food, while craving, there is a small voice within each of us that knows the answer to our questions.
