Summary
Bringing balance into your life is so important. The key areas are the mind, body and of course spirit. I have found for myself that if I neglect one of these areas they have show up for me to bring them into balance.
In this episode, we're going to dive into the body and embracing some key areas to help keep it strong and healthy.
My guest this week has been on her own courageous journey to health. And she is here to share some amazing tips & tools and her new book with us.
Her name is Marcela Benson. And as she has taught conscious eating with Dr. Cousens, all around the world organizing week long intensives in Argentina, Peru, Brazil and Spain. She has studied superfood nutrition, either Vedic Science, Chinese tonic herbalism, Amazonian herbalism crystal and zero point energy healing, healing with gems and stones topical placements and application of quartz and vegan and raw nutrition at some of the top institutes in the world. All of these modalities and more are an integral part of the tool she uses, which is in her life's work and in her daily life.
She has recently given birth to an amazing new book called
Love, Peace and Vegetables which is the result of Marcela’s journey to realization, beginning as a child in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a mashup of Syrian and Israeli Jewish parentage, and the South American cosmopolitan upbringing of Buenos Aires, she was the embodiment of cross-cultural influences, embracing ritual, family and culture of all. But her family history and habits also marked her for something darker—obesity. At the age of twenty-five, she stood on a scale that showed her the terrible truth – she weighed 258 pounds
Love, Peace and Vegetables assembles what she learned, so that she can share and pass it along to the world. Embracing a spiritual approach to conscious living and total immersion into the Live Food Lifestyle, Marcela is an elegant ambassador for the life she espouses.
This incredible book, filled with arresting art, poetry, spiritual inspiration, pristine eating food prep instruction never before assembled in one place, gorgeous photography of luscious dishes worthy of Gourmet Magazine, and hundreds of yummy recipes that will entice the pallet—is a one-of-a-kind labor of love. And it is a guidebook for self-love and a manual for adding more love into the world.
