Eating is an essential part of all of our lives – we simply can’t escape it. How we choose to experience food is up to us as individuals. We can think of food as pure physical nourishment – to give us the calories we need to function – to move, speak, and think. Or, we can expand our vision to encompass eating as something that connects us to our inner and outer landscapes – our emotions, mind, environment, people, animals, plants, earth, water, planet, and universe.
It would seem that we are ripe for change – our food supply is becoming increasing tainted, our schedules more saturated, and our free time less available – how do we find meaning in our everyday lives?
"Our relationship to food and eating is symbolic of how we approach every- thing else in our lives."
One way is through the potential, power, and presence of every meal. By experiencing eating as more than just calories, you can find your way to personal growth and true fulfillment.
As you can already see, I am not your typical nutritionist. Although I’ve had much training in the scientific aspects of nutrition through my Master’s and Doctorate degrees, I have also been steeped in ancient medical and spiritual traditions such as yoga, Ayurveda, Native American healing, and energy medicine. I have taken the best of my scientific training and integrated it with an amalgam of ancient spirituality to create a unique approach to food, health, and healing.
The intention of this website and the Food and Spirit work is to help guide you to the place of the essential “I”s of the eating experience — Instinct, Intuition, Inspiration, and Information. On this site, I will connect with you through my blogs. I will let you know about newly-released books and products, as well as classes and workshops I’ll be offering. Feel free to dialogue with me about what you’d like to see more or less of by e-mailing me via my contact page.
I look forward to providing you with daily physical and spiritual nourishment, and leading you on a journey to inner and outer bliss with every bite you take!
Nourishing blessings,
Deanna
