(view spoiler)[The idea for the book originated in one of my lucidly instructive dreams, and when a student of mine echoed that this was a book I ought to write, I decided to listen. I sincerely believe that the premise of the book—vibrational mastery—a way of impacting the world for the better that we as individuals are creating moment by moment, could not be a more pressing topic to begin to understand.
As a practitioner of energy medicine who esteems all things culinary and the natural settings that provide so many sustaining choices, I've had a curiosity for some time about the growing divisiveness over what is declared 'healthy' eating, and certainly what is considered perfectly acceptable to eat, by so many. I view food as a metaphor for 'what we're willing to take in', and I mean that from an energetic perspective more so even, than a nutritive one. Coming at the issue from an energetic perspective brings with it the understanding that everything that is, is vibrational in nature. The quality of that vibration in our food, higher or lower, affects our health and well-being drastically, yet we too affect the quality of what we take in, based on the quality of our own vibration. How that energetic smorgasbord for better or worse arrives on our plates, has much to do with the history of its treatment and our level of awareness of what that treatment was. It most certainly includes plants, as much as it does the animals we consume. I hope that E.A.T. will be as much a righteousness-buster as it is a compassion-builder, and I hope that it will inspire readers to return to the knowledge of how nature works well, including how our own innate nature works—well before it's too late. Reconnection to the awareness that we are one with all that is, awaits. (hide spoiler)]
