Explains
how food imparts a living wisdom that is separate from the science of
nutrient values
• Offers an approach to diet from the perspective of ancient
peoples, who understood how the energetic qualities of food affect both
physical and spiritual health
• Includes a comprehensive catalog of the energetic properties
of myriad foods--from chicken, beef, and potatoes to garlic, avocados,
zucchini, and grapefruit
Food is more than simply fuel. It imparts a living wisdom that is
beyond the science and mechanics of calories, grams, and nutrient
values. Ancient peoples, through their relationships with the plants
and animals providing their food, understood that their food conveyed
the unique energetic qualities of its source, such as swiftness from
wild deer and groundedness from root vegetables. With the rise of
agribusiness and industrial food production, people have become
disconnected from the sources of their food and are no longer able to
register the subtle rhythms, harmony, and energies that food can
convey. This separation has thrown the basic human-food relationship
out of balance--to the detriment of human consciousness.
In Food
Energetics, Steve Gagné shows how to revitalize
our connection to food and remedy our physical and psychic imbalances
with the wisdom of food energetics. He provides a comprehensive catalog
of foods and their corresponding energetic properties and explains how
each food affects us at the deepest spiritual level. By demonstrating
how to plan meals that incorporate both dominant and compliant foods,
he shows how to provide truly healthy cuisine that nourishes the body
and the soul..
