Food is not transactional. Nourishing ourselves is not a simple calorie-in versus calorie-out equation. When we eat we’re not just feeding our physical form but also our emotional, energetic and spiritual selves (thank you to @nicolebeaudin for sparking this). If we view food from a perspective of input versus output, we lose our connection to our bodies. We begin to think of our bodies as external machines instead of as our sacred containers. We give our power away to external forces, be that the media, diet companies, food corporations, influencers, etc. As @lovesamwich at @fulbeing_collective states, “when capitalism gets into bed with wellness, it is no longer about truly living well, but it involves exploiting the body, over stimulating the mind, and forgetting the breath, all under the guise of health & fitness.” As we head into Thanksgiving week, let’s remember to slow down; to detach from the noise around us; and to truly, honestly listen to our bodies. #wellness #thanksgiving #health #embodiment #embodimentpractice
