Hildegard Von Bingen

Hildegard teaches the close link of mankind, nature and the universe. Various foods are grown seasonally and harvested seasonally. They grow on the earth within nature in the manner to feed us at a particular time. They compensate for the disequilibrium generated within the body before, during and after the weather changes seasons. The delicate balances of life forces are threatened and tampered with by genetically modified, or GM, foods that are serviced without proper growth or harvest times. The asymmetric look and balance of the food is now viewed as symmetric perfection or one dare not eat of it! This is the reason why various foods within a season are to be consumed at that particular time period. The time frame of seasonal foods can also regulate the physical bodies functions in disease and patterns of health. Hildegard von Bingen writes that spelt can be consumed all year, as well as the discovery of the healing power from coconut oil and products. Baking with both is another discovery, but the most important discovery to any baking is love and positive energy.For further reading please click on the following subject.

Returning to health requires moderation in food and drink, but also includes a simpler life style. Complicated life styles have been created by society. The perception of fear, perhaps, creates and/or compounds an already existing complicated life style. You can simplify a life style by many changes that occur without the creeping fear factor of incorporating a drastic change into the current life style. By not allowing the creeping fear factor to take over is when fear is converted into wisdom. This wisdom becomes the present moment and change occurs, since the perception has changed. Fear of the past and future no longer matter and then fear is eliminated within the change. The knowledge within the  present moment is all that exists. Fearing the consequences of any change does not allow for a change in ones perception. Wisdom leads to the ‘letting go’ of the past fears and positive implementations are easy to incorporate into the new life style. Simplicity within the life style is listening to the wisdom of the body in the present moment.

The following information is referenced from the book: Hildegard of Bingen’s Medicine, by Dr. Wighard Strehelow & Gottfried Hertzka, M.D. Please read the whole book and full descriptions for a wonderful learning experience.

The body in its wisdom recognizes new and unfamiliar food and drinks. This wisdom from within the body tries to eliminate toxins taken in. Returning to health requires moderation in all areas of life including simplicity within the current life style.
