Conscious Eating by Gabriel Cousens
Conscious eating is being aware of how the food we eat effects our
body, emotions, mind and spirit.
This book advocates vegetarianism and conscious eating and presents a
wholeness approach to diet that explores the physical, spiritual, and
larger, planetary implications of our diet.
Gabriel Cousens is a trained physician who operates the Tree of Life
Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. Gabriel explores food and its relation
to health taking in consideration its effects on different levels: physical,
mental, and spiritual, as well as each persons individuality.
Gabriel Cousens tries to "Individualize the Diet" instead of
saying that there is one diet ideal for everyone. Dr. Cousens has adapted
the Indian health system of Ayurveda to vegan, raw food nutrition. The
chapter on vitamin B-12 will be of great interest to all vegans and raw-foodists.
Doubts about a vegetarian diets are dispelled.
The part on vegetarianism in world religions, and also the vegetarianism
of Jesus are also fascinating chapters included in this part of the book.
Part three is titled: "Transition to Vegetarianism," but is
also about transition to living foods and the reasons behind such a diet.
Gabriel outlines the best way to make this transition as easy as possible.
The transition is in four stages, from a meat and dairy based diet to
a vegan, raw food diet. The final stage of 95% living foods, a difficult
step for most people that can be made easier understanding the psychology
behind it. "Stage Four diet is more intense and more likely to be
successful for those who are mature and balanced in all areas of their
lives.
For most people, it requires several years of experience and self-experimentation
to become balanced and grounded with the full life-force power of this
diet." Other chapters of interest in this part include information
on pesticides in our food, and a list of the most sprayed fruits and vegetables.
The book also contain many raw-food recipes.
