Conscious Living With Chocolate
Written by founder and creator of Soul Fire Cocoa Genesis products – Grayle Harlequin (Dip. HM, Dip MA, Dip VK, Dip RM)
There are probably quite a few of us who have dreamed of the idea of a
healthy relationship to Chocolate, but how do we manifest that into real living?
Answer – Real inspection.
Take a moment to be still, and close your eyes.
Now consider “Chocolate”. What is Chocolate? What is your relationship
to Chocolate? What actually comes up for you when you consider it ? What are you thinking?
What are you feeling? What is being revealed to you about your relationship to Chocolate?
An array of emotions, desires, reactions and memories can arise out of considering this. GOOD! This is what is supposed to happen. Now, inspect these things that arise. Just simply observe them. It can range from guilt to complete and utter indulgence, even denial. Are you precious about it? Is it used for coping or comfort or consolation or even reward? Do you just simply love it? Is it something you crave? Why do you crave it? Are you “allergic” to it? Why? This is what needs to be inspected. This is what leads us to initiate a healthy relationship to Chocolate. You can do this for any food, or anything really.
If we “feed” all the emotions and desiring, we are literally feeding what the world in general amounts to today. We are just the smaller picture of a bigger picture.
So, what do you do with the guilt, the indulgence, etc ? You take a breath….and you let it go. You transcend it. It’s just a habit you have learnt because of whatever situation you are in. If you do this, you’ll be surprised how much clutter is removed from your relationship to everything, not just Chocolate. It’s like a whole political array of events that are removed, and what is left is….Free Energy for the real things in life.
Next in the inspection is, “how do I find good quality Chocolate?” or What is
good quality Chocolate ?
The best quality Chocolate is the Organic Raw Beans and Nibs themselves. Simply, eat those.
Food of the Gods, they call it. A Superfood that is highly nutritious and sustainable. Sounds
exciting, doesn’t it ? This is real unadulterated Chocolate, the best kind, and delicious, although, for some, it requires an acquired taste. It doesn’t have sugar, it
doesn’t have milk and all the additives that Blue Voodoos us into the hunger
for Chocolate…that we have just transcended.
Then there is Cocoa. This is the powder that is left after the Cocoa Butter has been removed. This can be made into a dark, bitter chocolate drink, or can be added to a Raw Chocolate cake/dessert to eat. Be inspired and creative.
So, the next best thing is Organic Dark Chocolate. Minimum 70%. This means
that the ingredients will read 70% Cocoa mass, Sugar, and perhaps Vanilla. It
could have a different type of sugar like Rapadura (dried cane juice which
holds all its glyconutrients), Agave (syrup tapped from a cactus plant with a
low GI), Xylitol, Coconut Sugar or Maple.
There should not be any more ingredients! Some say Lecithin (natural oily
preservative), but Chocolate can do without it.
It has to be Organic as Chocolate or Cacao is a fruit and one of the most highly sprayed fruits in the world of pesticides, insecticides and fungicides. Then, preferably Fair Trade, otherwise, it is susceptible to the energetics of child labour, slave market, poor working and poverty conditions of under-developed regions and countries where some crops are grown.
So, now you are on the right track nutritionally, and sticking with this, you may find
you desire less Chocolate but enjoy it better when you do have it. Our relationship
to it becomes more real and intimate for that matter. No seeking, and that feels so
good. More room for free energy.
Next is either going out and enjoying healthy Chocolate products or making them
yourself. Soul Fire Cocoa Genesis offers different chocolate products that are:
1.
Organic, Fair Trade and Raw.
2.
Free of Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Refined Sugars, Egg.
3.
Are Nutritionally based in consideration of recipes and food combining, so it is a more complete food than a quick chocolate fix.
4.
They are high in Minerals, Protein, Carbohydrates, Good Fats and Vitamins to support a more conscious and healthy diet.
This leads us to consider now a more nutritional, healthy, life supporting diet that includes Chocolate. This is what Conscious Living is about. Taking responsibility for our relationship to our Body or Temple for the Divine. Feed it what it requires to consciously be alive in a sustainable and healthy way.
The number one factor in diet to start with is Oxygen or the Breath. The body can be breathed if we can allow that. The ‘In’ breath to assimilate Life Current. The ‘Out’ breath to eliminate what is no longer required. The environment is interdependent on our ‘out’ breath, as we are on the environment for the ‘in’ breath.
With right Breath/Oxygen, we can then assimilate Water (Pure Clean Water). Over 90% of our body is fluid, requiring water to constantly purify it via assimilation and elimination.
Once breath and water is appropriately conductive in the body, we are ready to assimilate Minerals. When the body is released via the death process, and if the body is cremated, all that is left are various mineral salts, returned to the earth. It is very important to consider foods and Superfoods that are high in minerals and Ormus (see more on this on our conscious energy page).
When the minerals are appropriately balanced, we are ready to
assimilate proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which support our daily
life and energy systems, and then we can truly assimilate Vitamins.
Once this is all in balance and harmony, like an exquisite symphony,
we are then hormonally balanced. This is the body’s main
communication system for operating functionally on all levels. All of this ‘chemical’ balance is interrelated and interdependent, and therefore can be a point of stress when
unbalanced, or consciousness when balanced.
As the world around us doesn’t always reflect this balance required, it
is up to us to maintain a level of inspection and enquiry into
everything that is arising around us. In doing this, we can be a bright
shining being and we can really make a difference here on Earth, rather than going along with the rest of the unconscious gravity.
