Sahar’s Column Sounds Divine, by Sahar Huneidi

“ All information we take is inputted through our five senses, hearing, tasting, seeing, touching and smelling. Through those senses we compile a ‘data bank’ of experiences (whether good or bad), which when recalled, can sometimes be re-triggered awakening a multitude of emotions connected to them. When an experience is traumatic, our body mind system is thrown out of balance, and healing may be required to bring the mind and the body to a state of harmony once more. “

Books Cosmos in a Carrot: A Zen Guide to Eating Well by Carmen Yuen

Whether a meat eater, vegetarian or vegan, Yuen’s suggests “our patterns of consumption should be inspired by” balance and moderation, as well as individual needs… Peanuts and other nuts may be highly nutritious, but for those with food allergies, “they could be deadly.” Yuen emphasizes that “our bodies and metabolisms are unique, and our diets must reflect our needs.” Following the Buddhist philosophy known as the Middle Way allows us to “eat in a way that is best for us.”

Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton

All in all the Biology of Belief is one of the more informative and interesting books I’ve read. Biology coupling with Quantum physics could just be the beginning of a very enlightened society. Quantum Biology coupling with some intense and positive beliefs could take that same enlightened society and cause them to change the world and everyone, thing in it. It would be in violation of every moral fiber in my body not to recommend this book to others.

Waking the Global Heart by Anodea Judith, Ph.D. Waking the Global Heart is part history, part myth, part ecology and more. Judith explores where we’ve come from and where we are now in order to better understand where we are going. Her approach is based on Western history and values but only because as she says, those are the very values that pose the greatest threat to the world. As the author points out, we need to explore the underlying assumptions and beliefs that have led us to this critical stage.

Wellbeing & Healing Schools Are Stepping Up To A Healthier Plate

John Jay and other Katonah-Lewisboro schools have gone as far as substituting veggie frittatas and whole wheat veggie lasagna for hamburgers and French fries. John Jay’s cafeteria has also ditched processes foods, trans fats, and high fructose corn syrup. They have a salad bar with beans, nuts, and low fat dressings…Katonah-Lewisboro hired a chef from the Culinary Institute of America to help introduce the changes there. But few districts have done as much as this one. There are many interpretations of this federal mandate.

Thank you once more, for your positive feed back and support!
