Nutrition and the Inner Sense of Giving – The spiritual meaning of food

Description

This book is less concerned with the effects of various nutrients on the body, but more with the effect that a sensitive awareness of food has on the soul. Its aim is to encourage readers to see nutrition in a spiritual context and to develop a sense for the inner nature of various foods. The first part of the book is concerned chiefly with the way we as human beings relate to our food and includes aspects such as the love and attentiveness with which we prepare our food, and the consciousness and gratitude with which we eat it. The central section contains descriptions of various different foods and their inner, spiritual qualities. The final part contains a series of lectures given by Heinz Grill about nutrition and spiritual development.
