So why do we want to consume the pain (also on the hormonal level) from a
being that was tortured for whole his/hers life and then killed?
We have to ask ourselves:
How do I take care of my energy to be full of joy, love and peace?
Is my relationship nursing, loving and respectful, or do I take
advantage and exploit the environment around me? Is there any
pain - mental or physical?
Are you angry? Do you have anxieties? Are you tired and stressed
all the time? Are you ill in any manner or feel disconnected from your
feelings (and yourself)?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions - I recommend reflecting on the most
primal and basic level of our existence. Food.
You might think that a plant based diet / life style is based on limiting yourself.
I see it as empowering our own heart and mind, letting
go of learned wrong assumptions (you have to eat meat
to be strong, drink milk for healthy bones; animals are
there for us to be consumed...).
Now-days you can find a variety of plant based food products that can
imitate (if you need this) the memory of hot-dog or cheese cake. You
will find freedom and a new perception of your and others life. And
you will also be healthier!
And for all the feminists out there - I just have to share the thought from Sharon Gannon:
"Meat eating can be seen as a feminist issue, for if we believe in women's rights, we
cannot condone and support the way female animals are exploited for milk, eggs
and babies. If we feel that women should be treated fairly, then we must extend our
desire for women's liberation to all women regardless of race, religion, or species."
What we eat is important on the energy level - the spiritual energy connects us all on
the cellular level with Mother Earth. Lets Create nurturing, loving, respectful and
harmonious relationships with environment and lets protect all life.
Here’s a thought to ponder before we say goodbye:
"The way you do anything, is the way you do everything.’’
