"It's a New Day; It's a New Age": The Holistic Empire is stepping up and bringing you along! I want to thank my former partner Alan Berger for co-creating this Empire with me; everything in our intention was pure and full of love for humanity. I am so blessed to have shared that vision with another, in all its ecstasy, and now I bless Alan in all his present magical endeavors and commitments to the children of this world and to people of all cultures, as I know he blesses me in mine. We are all one. So, enjoy reading our earlier posts, as they came from high-level health and supreme love. Feel free to comment on those, too, as there's lots of "food for thought" in them.



So, as I look back on 3 years of being a raw foodist, and numerous years as a Health Counselor, what strikes me most in observing all humanity in our quest for health is really what brought me to this field all those years ago: People are suffering with their relationship to food! It's the emotional component that overrides everything else. Food, our most intimate partner, brings us pain and suffering. We can always talk about alkalizing our bodies, getting off of medications, eating raw or vegan or macro and on and on, but the piece that is most missing is a sense of freedom, peace and joy in our relationship with our food. Who loves their body???? I mean Really, Really loves their body and shows it??? Who only has a positive conversation running through their head when they pick up a piece of food that might not be on their daily food plan?? Please, please write me and let me know if you are one of those people, as my personal and professional experience has me put the number of you that might fall into that category in the single digits, if at all.

At a party last Saturday night, around the dessert table, I watched four women with a mixture of bodies, from slender to medium, all help themselves to the cakes while saying out loud, "I was positive I had decided I would not be eating dessert tonight. I really shouldn't be doing this." I want to ask you, readers, what message do you think we are offering our bodies, and ultimately our cells when we recite this mantra over food every single day? Give up? (please comment back)...I'll give you a hint: We not only digest our food, we digest the way in which we communicate our food to our bodies; "shouldn't, don't, bad, guilty, fat, wrong." This is the language with which we digest our food, and this is what get digested and assimilated into our cells.

Please comment back with your thoughts, as I am on a mission to teach you how to relate to your food like you would relate to and partner with your most intimate relationship. Imagine if food were your lover; your husband; your girlfriend, your spouse? How would you treat your relationship??
