Nourish yourself

 What does it mean to nourish yourself? How do you know if you are doing okay? 

On some level, whatever you do or do not do serves you in some way.  On another level, being conscious and making connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour enriches your life.  Which life changes do you wish to bring about?

Notice that as you know how balance and harmony feel, you are in position to truly help others help themselves.  When something does not feel right in your life, this also invites closer attention.  As you focus on the joy arising in what you do, and even when you do nothing, you notice the right thoughts and right choices come naturally.  You are what you eat and what you think about too.

"People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die." -Plato

"Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth." -Susan Taylor

Nourishment is a word that describes a true connection to any energy signature. If one has a true connection to their food, then they are nourished. If one eats organic food and enjoys it, it is said to be nourishing. If one eats an organic food, and it is deemed icky, it is no longer nourishing because the field of love generated through a connection of acceptance has not been obtained. If a child eats a hamburger and greasy fries and loves it, it is actually nourishing.

One is also then nourished by connecting to the object of one's attention. If one accepts what they see or feel, then they are soulfully nourished and tap into Love once more. This connection then sustains life. If no connection is made, then life is being drained. If one eats in depression, there is no nourishment in the occasion. One's battery then drains till it can be charged again by accepting the light.... the communication.... the spirit.... the message... in any given situation.

Bern, you astutely notice it is not what you do or eat that matters as much as you feel about it.

Hi Liara .. one question .. if one eats greasy fish and chips to nourish - ultimately that won't nourish anymore - even if you feel it will ...?

I love Plato's quote ... so so true - we need to rise above the naysayers or remove ourselves from their influence ... dirt - now I'll remember that differently ..

Thanks - Hilary
