Signs from the Universe: An Inspiring Conversation Between Lewis Howes and a Monk

Ever seek confirmation that you're on the right path? Maybe you hinge messages on the next song you hear, or stumble upon a relevant book passage that reassures you. Personally, I find solace in these small signs, appreciating the path I travel.

Whether it be finding a feather in an unusual location, a penny that seems to drop right in front of me, or a hummingbird fluttering within arms length, the Universe always seems to respond.

Such a "hit" came my way today while grocery shopping.

My food shopping routine - plug in an earbud and dive into a podcast. Why one earbud? Well, gosh, I also like to engage in conversations with other shoppers from time to time.

Today, my earbud companion was the insightful Lewis Howes, hosting a revered Buddhist monk. The topic revolved around how our dietary habits influence our energy levels - a concept familiar, yet utterly profound when narrated through the lens of a monk's mindfulness and intentional living.

Their discussion painted a compelling picture:

?Energy-Food Connection: Our body, like any machine, depends on the quality of fuel it receives. A diet rich in complex carbs, wholesome proteins, and healthy fats fuels sustained energy, while processed foods and sugars are catalysts for energy crashes. This was a testament to the vitality my plant-based diet gives me, as well as providing clarity and focus.

Mindful Eating: This is an invitation to be present at meals, savoring each bite, and attuning to our body's cues. I like to extend this mindfulness, pondering over the effort of all the people that went into getting my meal to my plate and expressing gratitude for a meal free from animal harm.

Common Nutritional Mistakes: The conversation highlighted typical missteps - skipping meals, caffeine overreliance, nutrient imbalance, consuming unhealthy foods - that can zap our energy.

The chat was not just enlightening but a gentle nudge to view food beyond sustenance, but also as a vital force nourishing our body and quality of life.

If increasing your awareness about food and delving deeper into mindful food choices and honoring your body through food, I recommend the NHA Virtual Conference taking place June 22 - 25th. You'll hear from some of the most amazing men and women who live an incredibly conscious life as a result of being plant-based.?

I'm particularly looking forward to Dr. Frank Sabatino's presentation. If you've had the opportunity to hear him as the host of the Health Science podcast, you know Dr. Sabatino beautifully intertwines the spiritual side of plant-based living.

I can assure you, his presentation will be well worth seeing.?
