Читать книгу Chakra Foods for Optimum Health - Deanna M. Minich - Страница 38

Social eating is a charged event. Most often, especially around the holidays, people tell me that they are conflicted by social eating events. Sometimes, they teeter on the stressful decision of whether to attend a gathering because of the foods that may be served. They find it fearful to “challenge the tribe” aspects of eating by saying no to eating certain foods. Lydia relays that at a party, a brownie was thrust into her mouth by a family member before she could say no. Later that day, she ended up with a throbbing migraine, as chocolate was one of her trigger foods. She was bedridden for hours. Even though she knew that this outcome would occur, she was unable to find internal strength within her root chakra to trust her own instinct and body. Of course, I advocate various strategies for dealing with challenging social aspects, such as eating beforehand, calling ahead of time to find out what will be served, and finally, participating in the tribal preparation of a meal by bringing a dish! Potlucks are healthy root chakra events for all involved!
