Food is not the savior
Hear ye…. the Healthier Hormones community is kicking back into gear. Check out our Community Course if our conversation floats your boat.
Today we talk about food. How it is important, but it may lead to neurosis to place all our bets on food to be our Savior. Or a technique to save us. Or a certain yoga tradition. These things may help create the context for us to…to what? To experience Grace in the Space of our lives, perhaps. To find the trust that can begin to happen when we, as one participant shares, “allow…Life to happen.” We hear from participants of the Healthier Hormones course who have done this course for two years, and how it works in their lives. We talk about the value of environment, and how it can do some of our work for us if we give some attention to what flavor is created by it.
In this conversation Dr. Claudia Welch and I I talk about:
•Story of God showing Moses his backside….
