Macrobiotic ideas – what can macrobiotic practice bring to your life
Second old article written by me at 6th January 2008.
Today I am interested to write about macrobiotic topic.
This is one of my big interests. Maybe the biggest one.
Once you realise that everything in life is somehow connected, you can’t depart from your life the influence of the food you eat daily.
Everything is energy and you should treat everything in this world like this.
If you are working in this mind picture you are seing the world quite differently.
The food you eat is transformed to the pure energy.
The macrobiotic is talking about main two energies.
The macrobiotic is derived from the Taoism and its view on the life.
Sweet, sugar is yin energy. It’s one side of the coin, one extreme.
The other side is salt, yang energy.
If you are eating overly salty and sugary foods you are flying between these two extremes and it’s very hard to stop, to balance.
If you want to be very balanced you have to work with the middle spectrum of energies. Not too much yin or yang.
These energies do containt all the main macrobiotic foods and they are:
whole cereals (rice, oat, wheat, barley..)
vegetables (except tomato)
seaweeds
condiments like shoyu, tamari, miso
fruits (but only from your local teritory)
oats
If you eat these balanced foods and if you use balanced cooking styles you are eating slowly, chewing right, the result is very healthy body, balanced mind and your life completely is getting better.
I know it sounds too scifi to believe that such a simple thing like food can be so powerful.
The best thing is to try it yourself and decide later.
I like Steve Pavlina’s 30 day challenge.
You will pick something you want to try and do it for 30 days, without any pause. You have to be strong and stick with it for 30 days. Then you will decide.
Btw Pavlina is starting his raw food eating experiment now.
