I took a day off from the blog yesterday; back to teaching on Tuesdays brought some needed hours of prep time. When I arrived home last night, I started to write, but instead watched Dr. Wayne Dyer on PBS. Time more than well spent.
You may have already heard of Dr. Dyer or be a long-time fan. His latest book, Wishes Fulfilled, was the basis for his talk last night. At the same time, I'm reading Understanding the Messages of Your Body by Jean Pierre Barral D.O. (a wonderful suggestion and a book loan from Melody). Both books talk about living intentionally. They both offer a great challenge to we humans.
Live in the present.
We're not very good at that.
Take a look at facebook posts; think back on the last 5 conversations you've had with friends, loved ones, co-workers, or even yourself--what percentage of those talks dealt with the past or the future? We're not living in the present very often at all, sadly. We obsess, relive, and rehash the past. We obsess, worry, and fume about the future.
And our organs are suffering for it. They carry our woes.
What does this have to do with anti-fungal eating? Everything. If we're only attending to what food goes into our bodies and not actively participating in what information goes into our body, we're not going to feel well. We'll still have stress, anxiety, headaches, stomach aches, high blood pressure--you name it.
So, for today, live in the present. Smell, taste, see, hear. Whenever the infamous "monkey mind" starts playing tricks on you by dragging up your past or tempting you to worry about the future...tell the monkey to go play some where else. You're on your Creator's time...in the present.
Peace.
