Let food be your ally and dance with life.

  • Identify what foods are best for your body type

  • Connect with food as an instrument for your personal growth.
  • Get personalized advice on what foods may serve you best — and which to avoid.

What is Taoist Nutrition?

By observing Nature, the ancient Taoist sages developed systems to align what is inside (e.g. our bodies) with what is outside (e.g. the universe around us).
Through this process of becoming so harmonious with the Universe and its rhythms, they came to realise how much we all are Nature's own sons and daughters, with full rights to exist when and where we are, like the trees in the forest or the fish in the sea.

All of these creatures are not busy conquering the world, manipulating others or trying to rationalise all they can see or feel. They are simply, being trees, being fish, etc.

By reconnecting with a life that is aligned with the rhythms of the Universe (the seasons, day and night cycles, moon cycles, etc) we too can get closer to just being Human, allowing for the expression of the wonder of love, empathy, awe and kindness, as well as cognition, thought, social connectedness and introspection.

All of this is made easier if our biochemistry - namely through food - is supporting our human journeys rather than adding resistance, rigidity or inflammation.

My Taoist (aka Natural or 'Nowist') Nutrition sessions exist to draw you into the present moment, build a centered awareness and…

  • Embrace the patterns in your life right now and learn to dance with them, rather than forcing yourself on them (through opposition or neediness).
  • How to strengthen the patterns that nourish you.
  • How to reverse patterns that are unhelpful to your development

… through food, lifestyle, habits, thoughts, practices and even what language you use when you talk to others and, more importantly, how you talk to yourself.

"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
— attributed to Lao-Tse, a Taoist sage from 2,500 years ago.

This is the basis of all my work, which I offer to you in these sessions.

You will also benefit from my training in the down-to-earth, accessible food choice framework provided by the Five Element Theory of Classical Chinese Medicine, which I will gladly share as appropriate to your specific case.

Prevent burn-out according to this ancient Chinese concept

In Classical Chinese Medicine, the Three Treasures — which are the three most important aspects to cultivate if we are to achieve a state of radiant health — are called Jing (life force), Qi/Chi (energy) and Shen (our emotions or link to our higher purpose / spirit). To help better understand this, the image that is most commonly used is that of a burning pot of nourishing soup:

  • Qi/Chi is both the soup and the pot, that keeps it in place
  • Shen is the vapour arising from the pot, the subtle essence of the soup
  • And Jing is the fire that heats the pot

This means that, without a strong Jing, our burning life-force fire, we have no energy for our day-to-day body and mind functions (Qi) and certainly our management of emotions and link to our higher purpose (Shen) will be out of balance.

Extreme cases of depleted Jing is what in the West we call a state of burn-out.

What depletes the Jing?

In today’s world, arguably the most widespread ‘thief’ of Jing is stress. Stress eats away our energy (Qi) and when that is gone, we start using our Jing. Our deep reserves of precious vitality therefore become used up by negative emotions (anger, fear). People with wasted Jing will tend to be fatigued easily, have a tendency to be depressed and complain about difficulty sleeping while showing an apparent difficulty to overcome their lack of vitality.

Other aspects that classically deplete the Jing are, for women, childbirth and, for men, excessive sexual activity.

Can we rebuild our Jing?

Jing comes from two sources: pre-natal (the life force which we inherit from our ancestors) and post-natal (which we gather and build through our food and lifestyle).

Our pre-natal Jing - imagine it like a sort of bank account, inherited at birth - cannot be rebuilt according to ancient Chinese thought. It is a treasure that we should hold dearly and a reminder that Nature and our ancestors have given us the energy we need for our life purpose.

However, we live in a world that decisions away from our purpose are usually the easiest to make. So it is with no shame that we realise that we have ‘wasted’ away this energy. Most of us have, in some way or another, in the industrialised - and now digital - world.

Which leads us to the good news: post-natal Jing, which we build from the accumulation of everyday’s unused Qi / energy (basically the quality of what we breathe and eat minus the energy we spend), can be rebuilt through quality, deeply nourishing foods and a mindful, active and sustainable lifestyle.

How can we improve our Jing reserves?

In Classical Chinese Medicine, the idea of Jing is associated to the pre-world-as-we-know-it darkness, which is full of potential. This darkness is not the ‘night’ as opposed to the ‘day’, but rather the ‘night’ before there was something like ‘night/day’ (or yin/yang). Jing is seen as a seed in the deep darkness of the earth - waiting to experience night/day, winter/summer -, waiting to be a full plant and holding in itself all the ability and energy to do so. So in general, the Chinese held black foods as an effective source of Jing or tonics for the Kidneys, where Jing is believed to be stored.

In this way, Chinese doctors have been prescribing the use of herbs such as He Shou Wu and Rehmannia (both roots) as an effective source to replenish Jing.

Other foods to increase Jing include:

GOJI BERRIES
As a tea or porridge topping (soaked)

EGGS
Preferably pastured eggs that you can get from a local farm.

SESAME SEEDS
Preferably black, which you can lightly toast to extract its beneficial oils.

PINE NUTS
They are delicious as a porridge topping or just on their own, very lightly roasted.

To avoid a more permanent burn-out, it is a good idea to avoid a daily burn-out.

This is the notion that we should not take ourselves to extremes, that we can eat and live mindfully and deliberately make our positive choices. This will enable us to be in a state of mental clarity and physical agility, so as to make increasingly better decisions, as time goes by. If we do overextend ourselves, then we must make time for deep rest, avoiding the easy fix that coffee and other stimulants seem to offer. Alternatives to this include a soft walk in Nature, for example, noticing how energising this can be, or seeking to use other plants (instead of coffee beans!) that are know to provide greater vitality, without the inevitable crash a few hours later.

To avoid a more permanent burn-out, it is a good idea to avoid a daily burn-out.
This general approach will build our energy reserves, and we can recover from years of stress and therefore, more and more, become better able to cope with that same stress. By concentrating on building this life force of potential, life can be more intense and the days will be lived more fully and nights will provide deeper rest.

Here we can start a positive cycle, where this great inner fire is set to burn strong again (remember when we were children?), and hopefully our daily energy (Qi) and sense of higher purpose (Shen) can be in greater balance towards a state of radiant health. Far from burning-out, we seek to burn-bright.

Aisha Lewis3y

I have had health problems lately. My skin is dry and cracked. The cosmetics didn't work. Can your service improve my health?

330c9c41fbd04a80aaef01cd4340f9f23y

Definitely and you are correct, this is not a diet: it is about an approach to making better food choices that support you personally, depending on your body type, lifestyle and how you would like to feel. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Jess Rogers3y

Emotion Code for Anxiety Relief

🌙. Receive a 60 minute Emotion Code session for anxiety relief. This session will feel like you’ve gifted yourself with a bouquet of beautiful 🌺 flowers. You may have a feeling you can’t quite put your finger on that something is getting in the way of your success, your goals, and your dreams.

🌙. I want to help hold a safe space for you to go deep into your truth and your shadow to uncover what it is. This emotional clearing session is like shining a flashlight on your stuck emotions causing negative patterns, self sabotage, or fear of success. As we shine a light we create movement so we can let go of what we don’t want.

🌙. If we don’t process our old emotional wounds, when life throws curves at us, it is like having a wound on our body and throwing salt in it. It stings. Instead of ignoring that comment someone made, it brings us back to the time of the wound in the past even if we don’t realize it. Subconscious emotions are stored in our body and brain where they can bubble to the surface.

🌙. We will identify exactly what stuck emotions are getting in the way of you feeling calm and relaxed using the Emotion Code framework and clear those. We will also do a short guided exercise/meditation where I will send reiki to both your nervous system and any past events that need healing as well.

🌙. You are precious; treat yourself accordingly. You are worth taking the time to treat yourself to self-care. What can you take off your plate to make room for taking care of yourself and remembering your magic?

🌙. Our bodies are 55% water and we need plenty of pure, filtered water every day so please hydrate well before and during your session.

🌙. I will share what came up, what shifted, and how to do easy self care to keep your energy and emotions flowing and clear.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. Love, Sara
