Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 Hi Folks: I was interested to see Liz's comments and wanted to mention a couple of things about seasonal diet... in the winter, we tend to eat more canned and processed foods and our vegetables are more likely to be in the form of soups, etc. I know that personally this makes me feel sluggish, and I do a sort of " spring cleaning " with my diet every year to clear out the salt and preservatives (usually an all live food diet of steamed leafies and lots of water for a day or two... when I was young my mother made poke salid [it is sort of like spinach but boiled several times] for this purpose) The old folks used to do some sort of purge in the spring on a regular basis, which isn't done any more, and that might also contribute to problems in the bowel; and what is left in the bowel causes all sorts of systemic problems. They did it, and their food didn't have half the crap in it that ours does. I also did a reasonably ignorant thing last week, after watching a program about how red wine might help prevent stroke; I like wine, but typically not reds, especially dry reds... but, I figured, hey, if you are going to have a glass of wine occasionally, try the red. I did, and was rewarded with the nastiest headache I've had in years. It was obviously not stress or sinus related and didn't go away with energy or medication... only after tossing my half consumed glass of wine and having a night's sleep. So now I'm figuring, there's a good reason my taste buds reject red wine. I don't have the problems with most nitrates, such as preserved meats or cheeses, although, as I said, they make me feel sluggish, and that might be the fat content. I used to have migraines on a regular basis, " rebound " headaches that were reactionary to stressful situations, after the fact I'd end up in bed for a day hiding from all sensory input. That pattern eventually responded to meditation and self care with energy work. However, I imagine that it would be harder to clear your own system of toxins or allergens that cause headaches, so it would be better to either avoid them altogether or have someone handy who can do something like a magnetic unruffling to hurry them out of you.

Florrie Could the chronic sinusitis be related in any way with a food intolerance ? Check out http://www.foodcanmakeyouill.co.uk Our diets have changed dramatically since the industrial revolution and not every body has adapted well to the increase in grains in the diet. Not surprisingly there are an increasing number of people discovering their vague illnesses are related to intolerance to different foods. The increase in take away foods and preprepared stuff which rely heavily on grains is a contributing factor.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Crow, About the red wine thing. Many people are very sensitive to the amount of tannic acid in red wines, or the sulphates they use to preserve the grapes from mildew or mold. I enjoy red wine, but it usually leaves me with a nasty headache after two mouthfuls, if it has a lot of sulphates. I suspect it also mucks up our energy space, which makes working our energy (healing etc.) difficult or impossible to do. I am guessing here (any takers on this theory?) that that is one of the reason many masters of energy do not use alcohol in their system.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 LOL... Leslie... where did you get the idea that " masters of energy " don't use alcohol? I know several prominent energy field professionals (and I'm not a name dropper) who sample the vine, at least with dinner. Personally I do not believe it is a problem unless it is used excessively or the person has an addictive personality. Many abstain more from religious reasons, preference or allergy than actual need. Reiki actually is completely unimpeded by the behaviors of the person, although I imagine that the Reiki can make life rather uncomfortable for a person deeply into destructive behaviors. I've met some pretty pathological Reiki Masters over time... one of the reasons I've said that you can do Reiki with a cigar in one hand and a highball in the other. Some natural psychic healers and shamen seem to be equally flawed. Ability to channel energy does not always clear the pipes. I am reminded of Madam Blavatsky, the metaphysical doyen, who was obese and a heavy smoker. And lest we forget, Jesus is purported to have consumed wine (although the " good wine " they speak of in the Bible miracle at Cana was probably more like a nouveau wine or grape juice). There are a lot of people who do one thing or another. Consuming meat or not, consuming alcohol or not, consuming tobacco or not, consuming medication or not does not make a person more spiritual or more capable of channeling energy. It is more important, obviously, on a physical level, but even then, there are people who indulge without issue until they are 100. Of course it is important to " take care of the temple " , but one does not have to be an aescetic to do it ;-) Blessings, Crow " Look for Rainbows in the Darkness " >Leslie Waller <lekili > > >Re: Seasonal Diet >Thu, 18 Jan 2001 22:33:34 -0800 > >Crow, > >About the red wine thing.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Crow, <grin> From the few masters I have spoken to, they didn't drink, more from the pure body leads to clearer mind which leads to clearer focus sort of thing, rather than a religious theme. That's where I got the idea from. Leslie - " Caroline Abreu " <nrgbalance Friday, January 19, 2001 1:01 AM Re: Seasonal Diet > LOL...
