Maureen Whitehouse

According to Maureen Whitehouse, author of the best seller Soul-Full Eating: A (Delicious!) Path to Higher Consciousness, it’s possible to eat our way to enlightenment. Eating “soul-fully” is something that’s available to all of us, no matter our faith or philosophy. By being aware when we select, prepare and eat our food, we can radically increase our vibrancy, vitality, eco-awareness and connection to Spirit.

Join Maureen as she discusses a wide range of nutritional topics, including raw foods, macrobiotics, Ayurveda, acid-alkaline balancing, food combining, “living water,” weight-loss strategies and more. Come share insights, laughter and delicious raw food treats, as we discover how to give up guilt and to love (and eat) ourselves back to wholeness.

Mindful Living:

From Birth to Enlightenment

by Kristine Morris

The spiritual path calls seekers to be mindful of the grace and beauty, as well as the pain and suffering, present in even the most mundane human life. From birth to enlightenment, the human journey to wholeness need not be taken alone; it is best taken in the company of wise, loving, and inspiring companions such as the authors here included. Their books can help readers capture the magic, heal, and mend the broken places, and finally arrive at the most desired “peace that passes understanding.”

bookreview

I found this book captivating; I was expecting a cookbook of sorts but instead found a wonderful blend of nutritional handbook and spiritual guide. The author wants us to return to a time when eating food, the “most natural and innate part of existence” was “an enjoyable part of life” and not “an obstacle to surmount, a chore, or a situation to fear.”

The first step toward achieving this state of affairs is to change our mental approach toward selecting, preparing and consuming food.

The first section of the book addresses the ten key concepts of consciously changing the way we think about and choose food. Along with these changes will come a spiritual and emotional transformation that will affect all other areas of our lives. Whitehouse emphasizes that this transition must be gentle and gradual and leave us feeling fulfilled, not deprived. The author’s tone throughout the book is never preachy, and always infused with sympathy and understanding. She intersperses her own experiences and research into these subjects which helped her own personal transformation and which she hopes will help ours.

Each chapter in the second part of the book, Know Thy Food, “informs us about a different aspect of nutrition, such as the role of enzymes, genetically engineered foods, protein, dairy products, water etc. She also devotes chapters to the trouble with caffeine, sugar and salt intake. Whitehouse managed to very succinctly answer all my questions and doubts about water filtration, probiotics, organic products, and artificial sweeteners.

“Stepping Up To A New Plate, “ the final section of Soul-full Eating discusses different dietary practices such as juice fasting, eating raw food, ayurvedic, kosher, macrobiotic, food combining and others. Whitehouse also provides guidance to overcoming emotional eating, losing weight, and healing yourself with food. Each chapter ends with a thought to ponder and an exercise to put into practice what you learned and initiate change. She also provides resources and recipes when it’s called for.

This is a book you will return to again and again for inspiration. On every page, this author’s mission and vision is evident: “When you begin to see the entire world on your plate each and every time you eat – when you see how your choices impact you and the world – you automatically align with a deeper truth and commit to living it. Love yourself and everything you consume and then pass this awareness on, one blessed plate-full at a time, to another.”

What a wonderful way to begin a new year!

My son Cooper is six years and he is the pickiest eater ever! I have tried making fun recipes, different shapes out of food, etc etc. He would rather go to bed on an empty stomach than eat, or, if I am lucky enough to get him to try something, and he doesn’t like it, he gags on it and practically throws it up. What can I do?

Maureen Whitehouse:  LOVE HIM! Exactly the way he is… “picky” eating habits and all. What we focus on we get more of. If you begin to obsess about Cooper’s eating habits – he’ll subconsciously reinforce your perceptions of the way he eats and begin to eat less and less. What if instead, you offer him the same great, wholesome and creative food choices that it sounds like you already are, and then consciously add just one other key ingredient that you’re leaving out – complete acceptance. You’ll see very quickly that Cooper will pick up on your new unconditional acceptance of him and he’ll begin to gravitate towards the love you are subtly offering him along with the more tangible foods you put on his plate. To make it very simple, you can look at it this way; everything is either love, or a call for love… so what do you give your son if he is giving you a “call for love” via picky eating? Why, you offer him love of course! Once you accept him – JUST AS HE IS NOW. The happiness, connection and joy you both feel will spill over naturally into other ways of sharing… even meals! Relax – have fun at mealtime with Cooper and honor his unique eating style. He’ll grow and evolve through all of this quite naturally, just as you will, if you let love and not fear lead the way. And keep in mind, what we all live for, thrive on and crave the most in life is love! Also recommended read Soul-Full Eating: A (Delicious!)
