I keep my first body, the physical one, in good health and shape
feeding it with the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals
that the vegetable kingdom provides me with abundance and joy.
I
combine them with know-how and fantasy, because I know what I need and
where to find it, and I get light, tasty, and balanced recipes that
satisfy all my seven bodies, the dense, emotional, mental, sentimental,
cosmic, and consciousness ones.
Taking nourishment becomes then, in each moment, an act of gratitude and celebration.
I'm lacto-ovo
vegetarian because when a delicious cake, made of dairy products and
eggs, happens to be in front of my eyes and nose, I taste it with joy
and bliss.
I have also been vegan and raw food eating, during some
of the various stages of my life, and I chose to be relaxed and free to
move to the homes and restaurants of the world, without creating too
much troubles.
I found myself a vegetarian for ethical reasons,
because I love life and freedom; for humanitarian reasons, because there
is food for everyone; for environmental reasons, because I love all
forests; for physical reasons, to be healthy, fit, and positive; for
social reasons, to be kind with others; for aesthetical reasons, because
I like a living nature, and for metaphysical reasons, to keep my
vibration high and zeroing my karma.
I find proteins in legumes,
grains, seaweeds and their derivatives; carbohydrates in grains,
vegetables, roots, fruits and yeast; fats in seeds, nuts, and oils;
vitamins and minerals in salads, raw vegetables, fruits, and seaweeds.
I
carefully prepare my food from my heart; I cook it meditatively; I chew
it thoroughly; I wait at least three hours before taking another bite; I
satisfy my taste and palate with sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent,
astringent, hot, cold, soft, liquid, crispy and hard sensations and
tastes.
I tell my friends that when I eat the fruits of plants and
trees, vegetables that grow again, seeds that are cropped at the end of
their life cycle, I take just what exceeds, and there's much of it,
without burdening others' lives, in this case those of the vegetal
world. This way we are all happy: me, mother earth, and the universe,
because when one is happy, it means happiness is there and this is
universal.
I have vegetarian friends growing up their sons and
daughters in a conscious vegetarian way, at home and at school, and
these are in good physical, emotional and mental health, they are
beautiful, alive, and happy to be vegetarians.
More than that, at the moment, I don't know.
