Vegan Macrobiotic Diet And Healing
For Mind-Body Harmony and Health
A Vegan Macrobiotic Diet and Healing services helps illuminate a customized MAP to a healthy happy life. The term Macrobiotic, means long / great or large (macro) life (bios.) Believe it or not, what we eat can help us feel happy and energized, yet calm and more balanced and at peace. The right foods ~ consumed at the right times and appropriately prepared according to our individual condition, the season and our health goals as taught in macrobiotics ~ can help us restore our natural state of harmony.
Many people are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety, sleep disorders, digestive issues and autoimmune conditions. While there are several factors influencing our moods, digestion, and overall health, if we want to experience greater balance and vitality, dialing in the appropriate diet for our needs lays the foundation from which all other practices or healing builds.
Equally important is our mental attitude, our predominant thoughts and emotions, and how we manage stress and challenges that arise. Our beliefs ~ many of which we are not conscious of ~ can shut down our minds before we even consider making appropriate changes, not to mention adopting a vegan macrobiotic diet and lifestyle. Just hearing the word vegan triggers people these days!

According to Ayurvedic medicine and yogic philosophy, consuming a sattvic diet can increase energy while promoting a sense of inner calm and peace. Sattva refers to one of the three categories, or gunas (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas) which defines qualities found in all things, including foods. A sattvic diet primarily centers around fresh foods, especially fruits, vegetables and whole grains as they are the most harmoniously balanced. By contrast, rajasic foods are overstimulating, and tamasic foods induce inertia and laziness. (Here's a decent, simple article about sattvic diets on WebMD.)
A sattvic diet and lifestyle is similar to a vegan macrobiotic diet and lifestyle in many ways. The goal of both is to achieve a more sattvic or peaceful frame of mind, with harmony of mind, body and heart.
Don't let these seemingly strange words get in your way. Whatever challenges you may be facing, you have the power to elevate your life experience. A sattvic, or vegan macrobiotic diet and lifestyle ~ augmented with gentle, safe healing practices as needed ~ promotes greater flow, more peaceful, balanced energy and moods, greater clarity, and a lighter sense of being.

Vegan Great Life Diet and Healing Especially Benefits HSPs & Empaths!
I've dealt with anxiety and digestive issues much of my life, especially as an empathic, highly sensitive person (HSP). Actually, because of my awareness that being an HSP is a 'thing', I've become a magnet for other HSPs as well. (HSPs have a highly wired nervous system, and are easily overwhelmed, or overstimulated. Empaths tend to feel emotions and even physical symptoms of others as if they are their own.)
While some empaths and HSPs may adopt a more tamasic diet, unconsciously trying to dull their senses, heavy, rich, dead foods cloud the mind and cause one to feel heavy and sluggish. Contrarily, a more rajasic diet exacerbates anxiety! A vegan macrobiotic diet is more centering and balanced.
A vegan macrobiotic diet along with tools to overcome challenging emotions, combined with healing practices that are safe and gentle ~ such as my favorite Chinese 5-Element Energy Clearing and Energy Healing ~ helped me feel much more clear, balanced and at peace. Adjusting my diet and cooking methods also helped improve my digestion, so I can continue to enjoy the foods I love.
Whatever challenges you are facing, a vegan macrobiotic diet and/or any of my healing or coaching services may help.
Bottom line, the one thing in your power to change with your very next meal is to eat more plants!
Eat more plants, feel more peace, share more love!

How a Vegan Macrobiotic Diet and Healing Sessions Can Help
An old Chinese proverb states that, 'When there is flow, there is no pain. When there is pain, there is no flow.' This begs the question, where in your life are you lacking flow?
Wherever you most feel blocked is where we begin, whatever that may be.
According to a large body of evidence, we all benefit from incorporating a more plant-dominant diet. There are many health benefits including reducing inflammation, and helping minimize risk for many common diseases. (Grab a FREE copy of Powered by Plants, by my husband, Don to learn more.) Plant foods are more alkaline than animal foods, contrary to much disinformation that's circulating. Eating a nutrient, water, and fiber-rich plant-based diet is a safe, sustainable way to lose and keep off unwanted excess fat and body weight.
Energy Healing and Chinese 5-Element Energy Clearing Sessions can similarly enhance one's mental and physical health. These are safe, gentle practices that help you feel more calm, clear and at peace.
Wherever you may be experiencing either physical or emotional pain ~ or a lack of energy, financial flow, or joy ~ a vegan macrobiotic diet and any of my healing services can help you:
- improve your energy, moods and digestion
- Feel more mentally clear
- Reduce anxiety
- Improve confidence
- Feel empowered to make the right choices for your needs
- Learn how to discern between what you are experiencing and what you are picking up from others
- Live a more peaceful, harmonious, happy, healthy life
