“The outer situation is always a reflection of the collective inner situation.” – PEACE PILGRIM
Just the other day I happen to come across the quote above and it really touched me. It is not that I didn’t know that outer appearance was a result of what was going on inside, but I forget sometime to focus on the inside. When I first went raw I went because I was so sick I didn’t think there was much left to live for because I could hardly breathe. What I didn’t know was that not only was I in need of a change in diet, I was in need of some serious work on the inside.
Raw food is definitely a healing diet but also one that will help you clean up the mess on the inside. When I say inside I mean the holding of grudges, not being able to forgive, past hurts, stuffed emotions, and what ever else you choose to ignore in your life. Many of us have so much pain from the past that we that we can’t see it. Some of us have lived most of our lives in the dark. We are hurting and in pain.
If you want to truly succeed on any diet especially a healing diet like the raw food diet, it’s time to get real and honest. Allow the emotions you feel to flow, work through them. Raw Food can give your body what it needs to heal but you, you have to work through whatever you need to move forward with your life. We can no longer live in the past if you want to be happy.
Sometimes facing the truth or detoxing our emotions can be hard but when you allow yourself to do so, you are moving one step closer to your goal. It’s time to give up the hurt and start living a happy, loving and free life.
Some people say it is hard to go raw, but I believe it is hard for us to face the changes and things we need to face that are stuffed on the inside. Cooked food comforts those feelings, they stuff them and give you some since of hope and happiness which is only temporary.
Don’t you want to live to your highest and best potential? Don’t you want to be all you can be? Don’t you want to go after your passions in life? True beauty comes from within.
- Who can you forgive today to start the healing process?
- What can you do today to show yourself love?
These are great questions to ask yourself to get the healing process started.
