Is it SPIRITUAL to eat meat? Let’s GET REAL!

Ok. Let’s ask a few more questions.

What is “Spiritual” for you?
Whom are we referring to when asking such a question?
You? Me? That person over there?
What is meat? Where does it come from?
And who am I to address such an issue and feel confident enough to write about it?

We all know (consciously or unconsciously) that EVERYTHING in this world is a vibration, everything is energy, and everything has its own rhythm, its own pulse. Our body, our thoughts, our food, our activities, what we do, what we say, it is all a vibration. Basically we are walking, breathing clouds of light vibrating and pulsating at certain frequency at all times. That frequency changes: we get out of balance – it drops (WTF is wrong with me?); we are in harmony with what is – we run on high (Yeahhhhhh! Life is good!).

You know, no matter how different we might think we all are, in our deepest core, in our essence, we are all the same: we want to be healthy/happy/ abundant/in love with life. We have the same pulse, same red blood running through our veins and we share the same sacred cosmic pulse – our heart beat. It is VIBRATION.
This vibration is the language that we use when we have our communication with the Source/ Divine/ God, (once again consciously or unconsciously).

This vibration is the KEY to our understanding of what we want to know.
Even though we all aim for the same goal…. we have different paths to walk and different tools to use. We must learn to respect it.

Are you with me so far? What is ‘Spiritual’ for you? Your diet? Your choices? Your connectedness to the higher Source? Your vibration?

Get Real point 1.
You are a Spiritual being, learning how to be a human. We all are. I hope you are doing all you can to have as much fun with this learning process as I do.

Get real point 2.
Being Spiritual has nothing to do with what we eat. Food is a tool of learning, just like everything else. Our being SPIRITUAL has a lot to do with the choices that we make on our human journey and our connectedness to the Source /Divine/God.
Let me expand.
Some of us choose eating raw food. (It became a bit of trend)

Some of us love food so much that we just eat what we want without ever thinking about it. “That ice-cream tastes so good, who cares it is a ‘chemical bomb?”

Some of us are fanatics of super foods and cannot start the day without spirulina and other high vibrational food substances.

Some of us are vegans and feel very strongly about not ever ingesting ‘corpses’.
We believe in thriving on what Mother Nature has provided to us without contributing to already existing violence in this world.

Some of us courageously fight Monsanto and demand our rights to know where our so called food is coming from.

Some of us choose to quietly grow our own food, so we eat and drink whatever we grow with our love, whether it is a bunch of apples/greens from the garden, or fish from our lakes or animals from our field. We make our own wine from the grapes of our vineyards and we don’t give a damn about what others think. “It is LOVE that we eat and drink. We grew it with love and we receive it with love.”

Coming back to what where we started. If ‘everything is energy, everything has its own vibration’ then how do we view what we call meat?

Get real point 3.
Eating meat that has been brutally produced by our Food Industry has one kind of vibration. If you want to know what vibration I am referring to, please find a film called “Earthlings” and take a deep breath before embarking upon a great self-educational journey. May you feel the vibration of that energy and may you be changed by it forever.

Get real point 4.
Eating a clean chicken soup made by my grandma (or yours!) who lives in a little Ukrainian organic village is a different story. Why? She lives in Harmony with-and-off the Earth. Everything she loves, becomes love.
I will never forget the way those wise sky blue eyes looked at me when I was 7, rebelling and screaming at her for making the soup out of my little friend – baby chicken that I played with. Drying my tears, she said: “My angel. Everything works in harmony. Everything is an exchange of love. Everything wants to be of service. Your friend (baby chicken) was loved by you and me and he is happy to give you his love back. Receive it with gratitude and get well.”

It took me many years and many personal wars with my spiritual insights that I have so skillfully imposed upon myself before I actually got this profound wisdom of my magical yogi-like grandma.

The strongest influence on my being ‘spiritual’ and food connection came from the yogis or agori babas, as they are called. They live in the cemetery, wear nothing but ashes and eat with gratitude whatever appears in front of them. ‘It is sent by the Source/Divine/God. I have learned from them that
“Everything is a blessing. Everything is God.”

Some of us choose to live in Harmony with what IS, choose to accept other people’s journeys and honor the uniqueness of our sacred paths.

There is a point in our human growth and expanding awareness when it really does not matter what is appearing in front of us as food. What matters at this point is how we feel about it and what frequency we are operating on. How do we see it? Are we honoring what lives through us? Are we listening to our body or our spiritual egos telling us how we should be.

Who am I to say this? I am just like you, searching and looking for the answers that work for me.

I have been blessed to be born with a compromised immune system and to be unwell most of my life. It made me busy finding my own way to health and harmony. I have tried every diet there is, hoping each time it would be the answer. My sickness lead me to find all these magical tools of consciousness that are available to all of us. I came to see that awareness of food is only a beginning of our waking up to what is Real. I am a grateful, curious human being searching for the truth, my truth.

I believe in self- healing abilities of a human body. I believe in the power of the Source/Divine/God that is within all of us. We can heal ourselves by understanding what lives through us and honoring our paths. I believe in being unique and courageous, powerful and extraordinary. I believe in our right to find out what works for us and encouraging others to do the same. I am about to release a book on conscious eating, called “Chocolate Revolution” where i share the most precious discoveries i made on my own healing journey.

So, is it spiritual for you to eat meat?

You decide, beloved.
Know yourself and what works for you and that magical vehicle of yours, called body. Treat it with a healthy curiosity and respect. Choose conscious eating over any diet that seems to be fashionable or worked for someone else. Honor what lives through you and accept it with gratitude, so you can do it for others. Be conscious of your choices. Be aware what vibration you welcome into your space each time you make a choice. That is how we create harmony.

In the end of the day, it is Conscious Living as a Conscious Being that makes a difference to who we are .

It is not what we do with our body….. it is what we do with our mind and our heart…. that makes a difference to who we are and to the world we live in!

with much love and gratitude for spending time with me here,

The Asana of Love. How to work your Love ‘muscle’.

…… It is time to Love, to pay attention to everything around you, to read the book of Life as it has been written for all, it mentions all of us.

There is something written by Cosmos about You. Would you not want to know what it is?

If you are practicing yoga and know how to stand on your head and how to do all the bandhas and those gorgeous asanas, and still wonder why you are not feeling fulfilled and deeply satisfied…. perhaps it is time to take your practice to another level and learn the most graceful asana of all – the Asana of Love!

It is not the love that we know of, not the romantic love between two individuals who are lost in adoration of each other (that is awesome, really!), it is not even the love between a parent and a child. Neither it is the love that ends in the family. It is a bigger, vaster kind of love.
It is the Love that feels like this………..
.
“Did you remember at certain point that you and the person right next to you, and that guy that really pissed you off at the traffic lights, and that lady who smiled at you kindly, all the people you love and all those who challenge you are actually your sisters and brothers?

Did you have that strange feeling right in your chest (it is very overwhelming) when your Human Mind sees disasters and chaos, lack and imperfection, but your Cosmic heart feels harmony with all around you?

Did you ever feel while judging another, that you are actually judging yourself? As you are simply looking in the mirror.
Did you ever feel while fighting with another human fellow that what you want is the same thing they want – to be Loved, to be seen, to be recognized, acknowledged and accepted by others??
Did you ever have the tears of compassion rolling down your face? Because you just felt that we are all in the same ‘boat’ here – co creating our suffering, our pain, our personal disasters and sickness just for one reason only – to learn to Love……. To open ourselves to the true meaning of our existence; to become One, to reunite once again; to return to Innocence; to evolve back to the Truth; to translate ourselves into Light.

Did you ever feel that We are fingers of the same hand, drops of the same ocean, stars of the same sky!? No? Then you have a lot to learn about Love.”

We are talking this kind of LOVE. Love that is knowing, Love that is truth, the only truth worth searching for…..
if you want to feel it one fine day, here is a little tip on how to work your “love muscle”.

LOVE EXERCISE!

(These very simple techniques are given only as a suggestion for you to tap into your own vibration of love and to learn where you are in this magical energetic World. Please be kind to yourself, if you find these simple exercises hard to do.
The love muscle is just like any other muscle that you have, it needs time and practice. The rewards are the most astonishing changes in your daily experiences of life, like feeling profoundly loved and blissfully high… if you are happy to be where you are and feel you have nothing to change, feel free to skip the exercises).

– Today when you walk into a room, or find yourself anywhere, take a deep breath and just remember – The Only Reason why any Person enters your space is to feel loved by you.(Oh, you don’t have to jump on them and cover them with sloppy kisses:-)
Be kind and sensitive to them. Show them that you care!

– Imagine they are your favorite brother/sister. Imagine they saved your life or did something so kind and powerful that affected your path profoundly. They might have been, you just don’t remember.

– Be Present, Be attentive, be authentic. They need your Love to move on in their life, to feel better about this world, to take another step in their growth and you can contribute to that just by being aware of it, it is that simple.

It is a very easy thing to practice, start with a few people a day and then slowly grow from there; you will be surprised at the amount of fun and joy you will create around you.

This attitude lead me to have such awesome experiences with total strangers – on the airplane (not what your sweet-arrogant-you is thinking), in restaurants, on my trips to foreign countries.
People respond with such grace to feeling Loved, they open up and give you their best, they share their secrets and experiences, they unite with you on this deep invisible energetic level.

As a result you feel Loved too, the heart connection has been made, the Love vibration got activated, the mercaba body got to spin faster, creating more light in this world.

You have contributed to the most important event that takes place on our planet right now.
You have just fulfilled another part of your self – you have translated your human energy into the cosmic Light.
You are an alchemist; you are here to change the world.
Do it with Love!

How to have the best day EVER!

We all want to Live happily ever after, don’t we?
Who wants to be miserable and lack enthusiasm for life, right?

We want each day to be glorious and meaningful.
We want to LIVE, we want to SHINE…. unless we do not. In that case we would not be reading article like this and just swim in our self-created misery joyfully, feeding the negative stuff in our heads.

When we take responsibility for one day, just today, we create a Life we want to live.
Here are a few little guide lines for those who need a gentle reminder.
One step at a time.
One breath at a time.

– Smile at the person in the mirror.
“Hello, beautiful!”

– Take time to remember who you are and what the heck you are doing with you life.

– Recycle your sorrows.

– Treat yourself and others with kindness and never miss a chance to have a good laugh at yourself.

– Learn from cats – make yourself shamelessly comfortable everywhere you go.
Life is for enjoying.

– Don’t take anything seriously….. it is all an illusion anyway.

– Smile at strangers and do not care much about what they think.

– Vibrate at the highest frequency you can possibly master.

– Stay in your own Universe! You are the one in charge of it.

– Shine….. especially at those who are lost in the dark.

What are you waiting for? Do it:-)
You are here to LIVE.. You are here to SHINE.
with hugs,
Anna
