What are Living Foods?

What are Enzymes?
Enzymes assist in the assimilation and digestion of foods.  They are known to be the "Life-Force" and or "energy" of food.

Why are Enzymes Important?
Without enzymes we cannot feed our bodies... digest our proteins... assimilate our nutrients/vitamins/minerals to rejuvenate our body.  We may be eating a lot of food, however if its not living foods then we are starving our bodies.  If you eat food that is enzyme-less, your body will not have maximum utilization. This causes toxicity in the body.

Is there a difference between living foods and raw foods? Living and Raw foods both contain enzymes. With living foods, you'll find higher enzyme counts. Raw, unsprouted nuts contain enzymes in a "dormant" state. To activate the enzymes contained in almonds, for example, soak them in water for as little as 24 hours. Once the almonds begin to sprout, the enzymes become "active" and are then considered living.

All of the foods here are Raw Foods and we suggest that you activate them by soaking them.

Loving the Planet has a living foods line. Please check our front page for the list of products or contact us.  We are also going to be providing living foods to our local customers please contact us to discuss what living foods we can offer you.

What if the Earth was exactly in Divine Perfection?  In other words if there was nothing that we as humans could actually do that would change things to how they are suppose to be?  If everything was moving and being in absolute perfect harmony?  The Mother Earth has been estimated to have been around for 4.5 billion years.  Do we actually think that we are that powerful to be able to destroy it on such a level that she isn't capable of taking care of herself?  This idea has crossed my consciousness and I wanted to share some thoughts that I have been pondering within my own self.

This concept has inspired me to look at another approach of where I am making my choices for living sustainably on this planet.  As I have inquired into myself I had been discovering over time that some of my choices have been from fear of destroying the planet, there not being enough and therefore choosing to do things out of fear.

I am finding what feels right in my life through asking the the questions: how do I want to live on this planet that gives so generously to me everyday that honours a sustainable way of living?  What does this look like?  How does this feel?  These are all questions that have arisen in this self examination process.  By looking around me and paying attention to my environment and the actual nature of things it calls me to move into action.  What is happening in nature, with respect to the four seasons?  And how do the tides, ebb and flow?  How can I bring this innate wisdom into my own season, and what could that look like?  And how does my own ocean inside myself ebb and flow,?  What form does this take in my experience?  What would it look like to actually take all energies that move in this act of nature and be able to simutaneously move in harmony with it all, without thought, just natural intuitive motion?

I have been looking at Biomimicry here is the meaning taken from Wikipedia.

Biomimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is an ancient concept recently^[when?] returning to scientific thought that examines nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements— and emulates or takes inspiration from them to solve human problems sustainably. Scientific and engineering literature often uses the term Biomimetics for the process of understanding and applying biological principles to human designs. This includes biomaterials, biomechanics, biological systems composed of individuals of one species (e.g., schools, herds and swarms), or multispecies ensembles.

Some EXAMPLES of this in Nature taken from Wikipedia.

Researchers, for example, learn from and emulate termites' ability to maintain virtually constant temperature and humidity in their Sub-Saharan Africa homes despite an outside temperature that varies from 3 °C to 42 °C (35 °F to 104 °F). Project TERMES (Termite Emulation of Regulatory Mound Environments by Simulation) scanned a termite mound and created 3-D images of the mound structure, which revealed construction that may ultimately influence human building design. The Eastgate Centre, a mid-rise office complex in Harare, Zimbabwe, (highlighted in this Biomimicry Institute case-study) stays cool without air conditioning and uses only 10% of the energy of a conventional building its size.

Modeling echolocation in bats in darkness has led to a cane for the visually impaired. Research at the University of Leeds, in the UK, led to the UltraCane, a product formerly manufactured, marketed and sold by Sound Foresight Ltd.

Janine Benyus, a scientist and author, refers in her books to spiders that create web silk as strong as the Kevlar used in bulletproof vests. Engineers could use such a material—if it had a long enough rate of decay—for parachute lines , suspension bridge cables, artificial ligaments for medicine, and many other purposes.

Other research has proposed adhesive glue from mussels, solar cells made like leaves, bionic cars inspired by the boxfish, fabric that emulates shark skin, harvesting water from fog like a beetle, and more. Nature’s 100 Best is a compilation of the top hundred different innovations of animals, plants, and other organisms that have been researched and studied by the Biomimicry Institute.

In summary, I am actually taking the time to slow down and really examine what is happenings around me.  What do the falling leaves in fall teach me about my own true self?  What valuable message and lesson does this process share with me?  Which brings me to an experience I had last fall.  It is a piece that I wrote while staring at a huge oak tree outside a window at a friends place.

Here you stand naked before me

Your leaves have dropped

Into the womb of where you came.

You are rigid, bare and I sense you are cold.

You have quite some time before you will be fully clothed again.

What will you do all this time?

How will you be warm?

I am naked because....

I choose to surrender all that I am every year

I choose to feed the womb of where I came

I stand here naked – However not rigid but conscious

And yes I am bare,

I have nothing to distract me except to continue to notice my essence, my form, my many-ness, my all-ness – my me-ness

I may appear cold to you,

However, I am so complete that warmth is of me,

I am warm, therefore cold does not exist

Cold exists for those who create it.

I am warm.

As for this time

Time exists as a process, my process.

My deep devotion to my purpose, my commitment, me.

As this externalizes I am noticed as a presence for others,

They then take me into their journey

Many rest on me when they tire

Many crows come and gather to share their travels, stories and wisdom.

I have many guests who visit, they all use me for their own individual purpose and I hold strong in this.

This is how I am

How I be

Who I choose to be.

I will be in my process and continue to notice myself.

And one moment I will begin to have more of me – extensions of myself will begin to appear

My clothing as you suggest will come into full bloom and all of this will again be a new

And I will be with this in every moment

I will rejoice

I will celebrate

And I will stand in this part of me as I did in all the many parts of me.

All are so full

So rich

So me.

THANK YOU FOR READING, I invite you all to have a look at this in your life and ponder how you can move into a space of harmony in your life with all that is around you.

In loving gratitude,

DL

INSPIRED TO REMEMBER

FROM THE ANCIENT CULTURE OF THE MAYANS...

While living abroad in Guatemala I was invited to participate in a number of Mayan Ceremonies led by the Nana’s and the Tata’s.  I was  introduced to a Mayan Priestess whom assisted in a brief introduction to the 20 Nawales of the Mayan Calendar.  Then I began receiving messages to attend a Sacred Chocolate Ceremony with a Chocolate Shaman of which I did in Lake Atitlan.  And prior to the Chocolate Shaman my meditations and dreams were introducing me to what I made out as “CHOCOLATE THERAPY.” While attending the Chocolate Ceremony and witnessing the Chocolate Shaman work with the group as well as myself, I experienced an energy that said I was home.  My messages that followed described in great detail with visuals of the Chocolate Ceremonies and Work I would be doing with others.   I have had a heart connection with Cacao for over 4 years and when I went to Guatemala and walked amongst the Cacao forest I met the soul of the plant in a way that connected my spirit assistance to it.  If you find you are curious about this please do not hesitate to contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

What is Loving in Motion?

It is a Divine Practice to listen to the inner voice and language of your Spirit.  Allowing time for your unique song to come forth through the movement of your body.  And to allow for the voice of your spirit to call out through chanting, humming, growling, panting, singing, and all forms of creative expression.  To accept that you know exactly what to do to keep your body in harmony.  And to create a sacred space for this divine dance to come forth.  Loving in Motion is slow & fast movements, stretching, meditating, sitting in stillness with your body, recognizing the signs your body provides for you and working with these signs throughout your day in whatever forms your unique expression wants to take..

Loving the Planet supports those who want to find this unique and individual movement.  If you are curious to find out more please go here.
