Healing Occurs On All Levels – Find What Works For You
Inner reflects outer, and the Microcosm mirrors the Macrocosm. If we wish to heal the planet, we must first Heal ourselves. Healing comes in many different forms. We each respond to different stimuli in different ways. Some respond especially well to scent, while others may be extremely sensitive to it. Some prefer therapeutic touch, while others prefer not to be touched at all. Some people are primarily visual; some are more auditory. The list goes on and on. The beauty of Healing is the variety of ways which are available. Find the one that suits you best! If we begin at the very basic level, it’s important to recognize the importance of Nutrition. Since everything is a form of energy, it only makes sense that you can maximize and make the...
Read MoreWhat to Eat…Or What NOT to Eat – That is The Question
Most of us aim to eat some what healthy right? Well, the very basics of Good Eating is knowing WHAT you’re eating! There’s a lot of Fake Food on the market – in fact, most of it these days can be called fake or ‘modified.’ From chemical pesticides and fertilizers to genetic alterations, it’s safe to say Modern Food is not what it was even just 100 years ago. And, with that change comes a ripple effect of other changes that affect our lifestyles and ultimately, our quality of life. We might be living longer, but the ailments that plague us in the long term are, for the most part, preventable. One of the most impactful ways to prevent disease is to pay attention to your diet.

You know you should be eating produce-dominated meals, but where do you find the time to prepare all those fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins? Our fast-paced lifestyles can make it seem like an ominous endeavor to get nourishing and delicious meals on the table on a daily basis. The biggest stumbling block is not having Healthy Food on hand when hunger strikes. One solution is to shop, chop, prep, and cook food in advance of meals, before you’re ready to reach for whatever processed, packaged, and preserved food is within easy reach. To get a running start for the week, set aside a four-hour block of time on Saturday or Sunday.

Read MoreYou Must Change Your Mind to Change Your Habits
Holistic Nutrition is key component for optimal health. Chef Rachel Albert shares some Whole Cooking wisdom with SWIHA! Are you ready to explore some healthier possibilities? Some people say they don’t like the taste of some of the foods I recommend––certain vegetables, fruits, or other things they are unaccustomed to eating. This can change. Your tastes aren’t engraved in stone. They are conditioned habits that can be changed with persistence. Although your mind may prefer processed foods, your body certainly does not! Your body prefers Whole Foods with real flavors that come with a high nutrient density. The effects of advertising and familial habits have put your mind out of harmony with your body. Your mind must be trained to accept natural...
