Get Balanced, Get Blissed: Nourishment for the Body, Mind and Soul

 

By Lynne Goldberg

 

 

Chapter Excerpt

 

I couldn’t stand feeling so helpless as I watched someone I loved suffer. I also hated how confusing all the health advice was. People claimed that if we just stopped eating fat, carbs and whatever else was unfashionable at the time, we would be ok. I heard meditation was healthy too, but I didn’t know why. So of course, I didn’t really believe it.

As I dealt with my own issues of infertility, I can’t tell you how many times people told me if I would just relax, that it would work out—that my stress was causing my body to prevent conception.

So much advice, but so few facts. I had heard about holistic health, but I didn’t really know what it meant. What was this mind-body-soul thing that people were talking about? And what did I care about the environment as long as my own were safe and taken care of? Selfish, yes, but that’s how I really thought at the time. What did I understand about the importance of relationships and how they affect your health?

My mom and I were both out of balance in our lives. She had used food as a way to soothe herself. I used work to escape. She over-ate to the point that she became obese. I jumped on and off planes to escape from whatever I didn’t want to face. A meal for me was a Snickers bar or some crackers with half a bottle of wine, grabbed in a hurry from an airport kiosk. As long as I kept myself busy, I could keep from really feeling.

          But contrary to how it may feel at times, humans are designed to be in balance. Our bodies naturally and intuitively seek homeostasis whenever we get a little off-kilter. Think about it: when you go into a sauna, you start to sweat. Your body intuitively knows to cool itself. Our bodies are filled with that kind of inner wisdom, and tapping into that in order to regain our balance and bliss is what this book is all about. We are designed to enjoy ultimate health and happiness, so who’s to say we don’t get out there and reclaim our sass and spunk? It’s our God-given right!
