Food and Feeding….

Faith…what keeps me guided,Fitness..what keeps me moving..and FOOD....what keeps me nourished not just by its intake,but its preparation, being able to feed it to those who surround me…Hence flourished the idea of opening Cafe Kailash,where a mindful set of people could enjoy conscious movement,the power of meditation and my home cooked meals.

Not so long ago a person who brought up the topic of what to eat would be considered a Faddist..today more food notions are prevalent in our world ,as is the amount and variety of food, unlike many parts of the earth where getting one square meal is a miracle.

What does one do in a situation when one book asks you to eat by your blood type and another magazine asks you to go on a raw food diet….hmm???

all I would invite you to do is to listen to your body…it for  decisions of this kind that we should follow the frontal lobe of the brain and decisions like what to do with the path of your life listen to your gut..we often do the opposite.

Ask as yourself as you drive through a fast food chain is this taking me towards health and radiance so that my presence may benefit this world?if the answer is No..stay away,without a rigid plan of action involved …make your choices with an awareness and not an agenda and watch the choices become acts of joy rather than discipline.

Eat with tools that are inborn..instinct,logic and reasoning.After all it makes no sense to eat fat to lose it…..

with you on this journey

Namaste,hello,aloha

I haven’t disappeared…..just got busy in the mundane yet necessary things of life!Food…fitness….faith…to me they are all shades of the spectrum we call life….

Food….yes real healthy ,hearty,nourishing,natural food which includes the big bad carbohydrates and fats is an essential part of living a life of fitness…for Fitness is not about having a six-pack abdomen or the buxom of a Barbie doll,it is living a life which is present and aware,a life which benefits others as much as it benefits oneself and exercise which is mindful is an important part of that fitness…Faith…aaha…that is everything…faith in the universe,faith in absolute power of that absolute,faith in the power of love,faith in following your heart ,faith in yourself……..faith that food is not evil as it is made out to be..faith that mindful movement..be it a sweat dripping strength training session,a walk in the park,dancing in a sexy zumba class or a meditative yoga practice

…each one  is beneficial to some of us or all of us as long as we know that the reason behind fitness is not vanity alone but self-care and nurturing so we may live a life that has a purpose………so my loved ones get ready to move that body and soul!

love and infinite gratitude
