Introduction to Our New Newsletter Series
I am adding a new monthly newsletter to FeelGoodFood.com. Rather than follow the calendar year and posting these newsletters at the first of each month, I thought it might be more fun to post the letters following an astrological time frame. There will be a wide range of topics dealing with mind, body and spirit, coordinating wellness topics with the vibration of our universe. Ancient man followed seasons rather than a specific time frame. Modern men and women have now come full circle. Perhaps it makes sense to marry the rhythms of the past with the technology of the future to deliver balance and wellness for today.
We are entering an exciting time for our planet and for humankind. Metaphysically speaking, as a planet we are moving from first, second and third chakra thought into fourth chakra beingness. The word chakra is a sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "circle", a center of force and consciousness located within the inner bodies of man. Nerve plexus, ganglia and glands corresponding to principle chakras are located in the physical body, situated along the spinal cord from the base into the cranial chamber. Seven principle chakras are commonly described, though many more exist. The fourth chakra is the energy center of the heart. Activating the fourth, or heart chakra, is the very message Jesus the Christ was teaching 2,000 years ago. Five hundred years earlier the Buddha taught us to open the sixth chakra correlating to our mind. When our mind is opened and driven by our heart, wonderful things start to happen. As Timothy Leary said, "thinking is the best way to travel". Thoughts, powered by our heart—it doesn't get much better than that! The evolution of mankind not only moves forward technologically, it also moves upward energetically.
As we move forward with our natural evolution, energetically our vibration can't help but increase. It makes sense that unless the organism housing our spirit's vibration isn't increased accordingly, dis-ease will occur. Everyone on this planet can sense we are on the verge of something big. I become excited as I look to the horizon of our future history. The universal law of attraction, quantum physics and the power of thought is becoming main stream. In the past this information was reserved for only an elite few. It is no accident that this information is being given to us now on a global level. Never before has high vibrational foods, beverages, thoughts and actions been more important. Einstein proved that the empty space around matter is not only greater, but is as important as the matter itself. Einstein stated, "It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
It is easy to feel powerless to change the policies of governments. However, passive resistance works, Gandhi toppled one of the greatest empires known to man by peacefully refusing to submit to unreasonable demands and injustices. He said, "There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever". In the words of Mother Teresa, "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." She also said, "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." It is the little things we do moment after moment that make the biggest difference. With every breath we take and every thought we make we are creating. Only we can choose what it is we are creating. The following are powerful words by Marianne Williamson, from A Return To Love, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
How can we expect others to change their behaviors when we do nothing to raise our own vibrational frequency. By doing so, we allow ourselves to transmute into something "powerful beyond measure". It is through our desire for peace that peace happens. It is through love of self that love of others happens. When we disrespect our own body how can we be expected to treat the planet or others with respect. Together we can heal the world. Let's create a victimless society, beginning with ourselves. I will leave you with one final quote from Mother Teresa, "Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
