Burning Through Nutritional Mistakes
There is great value in having a strong digestive fire so that we won't be energetically physiologically offended This is the knowledge from energy science nutrition
Summer time, when the Pitta energy pattern is rich in the environment(hot quality), subtley decreases digestive fire so it is not such a good time to challenge ourselves with foods that are in the NO column as seen at foodsheal.com
On the other hand during cold weather, winter time, and in temperate climates , there is a tendency to turn our heat inwards to maintain the core body temperature, leading to stronger digestion
Understanding these concepts allows us to know when we can "get away" with challenging our digestive fire by taking in poor food combinations or those foods that we would normally stay away from
For example, Pitta Kapha(PK) would be best off not ingesting seafood but the winter time would be a good time for PK to do so on an infrequent basis especially if done with a churan
Or ingesting corn or tomato is not such a good selection for Pitta Vata(PV) but again during cold days, in temperate climates, or wintertime, such ingestion would work
Have you noticed your digestion better during seasons of the year? Do you see less symptoms of poor digestive fire during the winter? Have you ever used a churan to enhance digestive fire?

Matter Science And Mindbody Connection
From an energy science view, the mind and body are intimately spliced This is because both the mind and body are energy fields
The two can't be spliced together if one is a molecular field(body) and one is an energy field(mind) From a matter science medical model view it's just not possible to talk about the mindbody connection because we're talking water(mind) and oil(body)
But wait! There is some light happening in the matter science these days that are bringing this concept of mindbody into perspective and validates what the energy science medical model has been saying for thousands of years
The connection is coming about by understanding the plasticity of our genes and nervous system
We know that tumor suppressor genes can turn on and off by lifestyle choices that we make
We now know that new neurons are created with desire for change in habit
What causes these changes in our genes and neurons? Thoughts
Voila! A connection has been made We have a matter field that listens to what we say
Although this matter science medical mindbody concept will never be as sophisticated as the current energy science medical model of Vata Pitta and Kapha, it certainly establishes the concept
Is this of value for us from a nutritional view? Is it possible to "think" ourselves into healthy eating behaviors? Is it possible to think ourselves out of disease?

Champions Of The Family
I'd like to pose a question Why is it that families have different habits?
Some families stay up late at night; others tend to retire early Some families eat the biggest meal at noon while others eat late at night
Who establishes these patterns or habits of behavior?
As Tevye danced and sang in Fiddler, "Tradition"
It's family custom and these patterns are that which produce our approaches to health as we move along in life Habits that are established very early in our lives And I would suggest some that are not so good and others excellent
Doing nutrition in a different way requires a lifestyle change that the family may have to buy into
Since this kind of change is the hardest thing we do, at times we need others to help show us the way
I know in my own family the lifestyle choices that I choose around nutrition are not those that the rest of the family would choose but by and by through simple example, choices change
The key here is that the change resides in me No one else And I have no expectations of others
I believe that every family needs a champion who leads by example and serves as a nutritional visionary so to speak One who says quietly to herself, "I want better nutritional health for myself and for my family"
A simple thing like using a churan can be done No preaching, demanding, urging, coercion, cajoling "Just do it!," as the commercial says Leading by example, by action
Well then, what lifestyle choices are you interested in changing? Who authority says what the correct lifestyle changes are supposed to be? What source is available in the current matter science nutritional model?
May answer is that the deep energy sciences can give us some very well established understanding as to what those health guidelines should be

Balanced Kapha
Since Kapha, the energy pattern of stability, is closest to the matter field expression of the mindbody, it exhibits many qualities that we sense with touch, taste, and smell which are the grounding senses of our experience of the world
These qualities are heavy, cold, slow/dull, gross, oily, slimy/smooth, static, dense, liquid, cloudy, and soft
These grounding vibrational frequencies make this energy pattern in Nature express our need to be in the mindbody Due to this need we find great love when linking with balanced Kapha
If we hook up with balanced Kapha we find nourishment, love, kindness, compassion, strength, stamina, endurance
There is a comfort and calming that occurs around balanced Kapha and we are allured by its beauty, grace, and elegance
With such a grounding Nature, we find peace
I believe the expression in Nature of the balanced expression Vata, Pitta, and Kapha brings us great joy and happiness It is the way Nature meant us to express our beauty
When we experience the infinite creativity that Vata expresses through her mobility, the focus and intensity of Pitta, and the love, elegance, and grace of Kapha then we see ourselves as divine
So these energy patterns hold up the standard which we strive for in our search for balance
One of the ways we support our journey to balance is with energy science nutrition
Do you know anyone in your life who expresses the characteristics of the balanced Kapha? How do they make you feel when you're around them? Can you think of any celebrities or leaders that carry this balanced energy?

Balanced Pitta
Pitta is the energy of transformation and its qualities are hot, sharp/penetrating, light, mobile, liquid, and oily
Of the three energy patterns discussed, Pitta is the only pattern with the hot quality Heat transforms Sharp/penetrating helps with discrimination and seeing through problems
The lightness of Pitta is different than light of Vata(feather) because light here means illumination, shedding light on a subject; intensity here is a good word for Pitta Vata's light vibrational frequency is associated with playfulness and levity
The intensity of Pitta is not too intensive There is a great deal of warmth by hot vibrational frequency but not burning; it's not like a pit bull that won't let go There is an ease of the intensity Otherwise the intensity becomes rigidity
A fire is mobile as the flames dance and Pitta in balance is flexible in the mindbody; able to entertain different alternatives But the mobility of Pitta is different than that of Vata as well
The mobility or movement of energy causes us to notice things in our environment So the stock market moves up and it attracts our attention It is this aspect of Pitta's vibrational frequency of mobility that promotes survival and evolutionary behavior when in balance
So hook up with Pitta if you want to see through problems, guidance, nourish the best choices, have great wisdom, incredible intensity, highly focused, determined, and thorough
Pitta is a great change artist for himself and others(if they so choose) It is able to give good intellectual guidance well thought out. keen, and brilliant(light)
Do you know anyone in your life or celebrities who expresses the characteristics of the balanced Pitta? How do they make you feel when you're around them? Can you think of any celebrities or leaders that carry this balanced energy?
