Essentials of Eating for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being
Deborah Kesten’s award-winning book, Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul, leads you to a healthier relationship to food and eating by drawing on ancient food wisdom from the world’s religions and cultural traditions. From Jewish dietary laws, the communion of Christianity, and Islam’s Halal guidelines to the food-based spiritual practices of Yoga, Buddhism, and Native American Indians, this practical guide shows you how to create a more satisfying relationship to food. To reveal insights into “invisible ingredients” you create when you prepare food, this pioneering book includes interviews with more than 45 scientists and spiritual teachers, as well as practical strategies for you to create your own “spiritual kitchen.”
