Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi Lynda, What you experience here is not only common but ubiquitous. May I suggest to you a different interpretation of your own experience? Instead of holding that these foods made you feel protected, would you consider that they helped you avoid feeling most of what you would have felt if you had just stayed more fully present? In other words, you chose to eat foods that provided numbness, not protection. Of course, in numbness there can be the illusion of safety. But that is only through lack of connection with oneself. Hope this makes sense! Elchanan _____ Lynda lhmcmaken [lhmcmaken] Saturday, September 29, 2007 5:07 PM rawfood [Raw Food] emotion and raw hello all. I have been moving toward raw, fruit for a while now. and last week had a stressful week, not of my doing and no control, and I totally lost my desire for fruit and anything raw. It was a different awareness than I have ever had before. The food I ate, meat and carb, made me feel protected some how. physically different. I have not had this experience before. I understand now that i have to be in a different emotional space now to follow this diet. I would be interested in any thoughts on this. this was new to me. thanks. take care, lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
