Aside from some obvious spiritual differences, I think the principals he is expressing are consistent with what I've been discovering about my own body over the past two, going on three years.
Learn to deal with mental/emotional stress, eat what your body is starving for (various nutrients we've engineered right out of our food, creating a kind of "famine" in our bodies), and doing what he calls "follow your heart" - meaning, take hold of the life you WANT to live and live it. (Seems simple enough, but anything short of that is going to be another source of stress on the mind and body, to say nothing of the spirit!)
In conjuntion with this, I am very interested to learn more about "The Ultramind Solution" which seems to also be in keeping with many of the same principles, predominantly emphasizing learning what your body NEEDS and training your mind as well as properly FEEDING your "two brains" - caring for both your brain chemistry, and the ability of your body to properly absorb the nutrients it needs via the "2nd brain" - your gut - your intestines.

Both men are basically stating: Nourish your mind by nourishing your body by using your mind to listen to your body and re-train your appetites.....
Now that my health is out of "crisis mode" and well on the way to healing, it is time to tackle the body-memory that is still demanding to store energy as fat that it does not need!

Hi Leah,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're on the right path; we're so glad to read that you're feeling so much better both physically and emotionally, and that you're out of "crisis mode" when it comes to your overall health!
I (S) was fascinated by the 'success stories' on one of the websites about autism being helped by this too--it makes sense to me that if your body's freaking out, your mind might struggle too.
We love & miss you!

P.S. Enjoy the bread you're adding back in--I tend toward excess in that area; it's one of the hardest things for me to 'go easy on'! :)
