Gut Instincts Podcast #4 - Sugar & Gut Microbes

Dia De Muertos..

Day of the dead.. What's up with that?

Well.. Essentially, the beliefs are that the children create alters.. gather items like flowers, candles and other offerings with prayer to their no longer living ancestors.. These offerings are meant to greet the energetic souls that are in the spirit realm that surrounds us. Pay them tribute.. Sending them positive energies and prayers. Since we are all energy.. These times are perfect to honor the flow of life and death that is the one divine energy being. The shift of " seasons " is the shift of life.

While the actual events and ceremonies have supposed to originated in Mexico.. I'm sure their are ideas that are similar to this all around the world.  That being said.. Growing up in the United States.. I've only been subjected to the western idea we call Halloween.. Oh yes.. 

This was one of my Favorites growing up.. and then proceeded to become an even greater favorite as i've grown.  Now that the truth behind all of these so-called Holidays are becoming clear.. It is up to us.. To shift. Alter and create the way we want to celebrate and pay tribute to our dead..

Remember.. Death.. Is just. The Beginning.

Yep.. I said it.. 

That being said !! Thanks for checking out the special Halloween Podcast..

This one is all about that.. SUGAR.. Yep.. You guessed it.. Perfect time to get into that little white powder.. We're going into why sugar is such a little devilish food substance that seems to have taken control of so many aspects of our lives.  Sugar is added in sauces, soups, dressings, granolas, cereals.. I mean.. EVERYWHERE.

There are literally.. 61 different Names.. That are labeled and used instead of " Sugar ".  http://www.sugarscience.org/hidden-in-plain-sight/#.WBc7S5MrJ24

But.. Do not worry !! As you learn and shift slowly.. so will the ideas and choices you make within life.  No need to run through your pantry and throw everything away.. Unless your like me.. then.. maybe you may just do that :)

That being said.. Enjoy this wonderful Celebration of Death.. For it is. the transformation of energy.. The true shift in consciousness. While you indulge in sweets this season just know.. As the ideas begin to shift within the mind.. so does the reality that we are experiencing.  Sugar alters your thinking.. Make sure those thoughts are of peace, love and abundance. 

Love, Light.. And Chocolate ;0
