Book excerpt: Nutrition and Health for Metaphysicians by Carol Stocking For sixteen years Carol Stocking experienced many health problems, some so severe as to threaten her life. When conventional medicine provided no relief she began studying nutrition and learned how food could provide health and an active spiritual life could provide healing. Encouraged, Stocking wrote Nutrition and Health for Metaphysicians to share her knowledge with all. Every physical part of the body is addressed; including the immune system, the cardiovascular system, the digestive track, and the brain. With nutrition as the base, Stocking provides clear tactics for treatment and healing. Detailed charts provide the reader a clear way to check on symptoms and determine a strategy. Stocking provides the science behind all recommendations and encouragement for the reader to take that important first step on the road to healing. Stocking does not reject all modern medicine – instead she encourages all readers to educate themselves and learn what works best for their unique body and soul. Just as important as our physical health is our spiritual health. By practicing forgiveness and living with positive energy, we can learn to live a whole life. Nutrition and Health for Metaphysicians is a clear, practical, and inspiring book on physical and spiritual health.

Download or read book The Metaphysical Diet written by B. R. Taylor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only recently has the three meal a day mentality become accepted as the norm. We are a generation overeating. Our habitual nature has been hijacked and steered in a sinister and unhealthy direction, in order to underpin and support a corporate system reliant on excessive consumption. Most diets fail because they focus on momentary solutions to deep rooted problems. This is the only book of its kind to explain the astrological and metaphysical mechanisms at play behind obesity, and how, without spending a fortune, one can learn to sow new seeds of health, wealth and happiness within the powerful mind of the subconscious.

Download or read book Nutritionism written by Gyorgy Scrinis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm, based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry, but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well.' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM, Nutritionist From the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol, to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats, our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified, yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods. Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality, while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products, and marketing them with nutritional and health claims. Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate, the battle between low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets, the limitations of dietary guidelines, and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific, social, and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition, and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality.

Download or read book Compendium of Metaphysics Iii written by Adriana Balthazar MD Ph.D. and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compendium of Metaphysics III deals with the process of development human beings undergo at all levels of their constitution (physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual) under the interplay of energetic elements such as focal centers of energy (chakras) and the generalized influence of energy coming from various cosmic rays of creation. Incarnated individuals move constantly among three states of consciousness: deep sleep, sleep with dreams and awake. Through spiritual evolution the person discovers or awakens to broader and higher states of consciousness: soul consciousness, cosmic consciousness, divine consciousness and total oneness consciousness. When we consciously and purposely work for our spiritual growth, we accelerate our development toward the manifestation of full human potential. This work must be done by focusing on the following points: learning metaphysics and acknowledging spirituality, self observation and analysis, reaching an accurate conclusion about our state of being, self correction and transformation at all levels, always counting with the help of spiritual beings, developing a permanent practice of spiritual disciplines, actual practice of all that has been learned and finally service to humanity. Our spiritual work results in a process of integration/unification of the different human vehicles, in a way that renders them responsive to the original spirit spark (Monad) through the energy of the soul. This is done through purification, discipline, prayers and meditation. Prayer is a call to and conversation with God. Meditation implies elevating our awareness to higher spiritual realms, beyond the restrictions of the intellectual mind.

Download or read book Spiritual Nutrition written by Gabriel Cousens, M.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we eat, can we feed the soul as well as the body? Can a diet have an impact on spirituality? Spiritual Nutrition empowers readers to develop personal diets that are appropriate to their lifestyles and spiritual practices. Drawing on 14 years of clinical experience and research, Dr. Gabriel Cousens discusses nutritional issues that can help answer these questions, including raw vs. cooked food; high vs. low protein; the concepts of assimilation and fasting; alkaline--acid balance; attitudes about food; nutrients, energy, and structure building. In addition, Cousens shares his new dietary system of "spiritual nutrition" that is based on the relationship that the color of the food has to corresponding colors of the human chakra system, hence, the "rainbow diet." For true nourishment, he strongly promotes the connection of diet to meditation, fellowship, wisdom, and love.

Download or read book The Metaphysics of Good and Evil written by David S. Oderberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metaphysics of Good and Evil is the first, full-length contemporary defence, from the perspective of analytic philosophy, of the Scholastic theory of good and evil – the theory of Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, and most medieval and Thomistic philosophers. Goodness is analysed as obedience to nature. Evil is analysed as the privation of goodness. Goodness, surprisingly, is found in the non-living world, but in the living world it takes on a special character. The book analyses various kinds of goodness, showing how they fit into the Scholastic theory. The privation theory of evil is given its most comprehensive contemporary defence, including an account of truthmakers for truths of privation and an analysis of how causation by privation should be understood. In the end, all evil is deviance – a departure from the goodness prescribed by a thing’s essential nature. Key Features: Offers a comprehensive defence of a venerable metaphysical theory, conducted using the concepts and methods of analytic philosophy. Revives a much neglected approach to the question of good and evil in their most general nature. Shows how Aristotelian-Thomistic theory has more than historical relevance to a fundamental philosophical issue, but can be applied in a way that is both defensible and yet accessible to the modern philosopher. Provides what, for the Scholastic philosopher, is arguably the only solid metaphysical foundation for a separate treatment of the origins of morality.

This book was released on 2006-08-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latin root of the English word culture ties together both worship and the tilling of the soil. In both interpretations the outcome is the same: a rightly-directed culture produces either a bountiful harvest or falls short of the mark, materially or spiritually.

Download or read book Metaphysics and the Good written by Samuel Newlands and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his philosophical career at Michigan, UCLA, Yale, and Oxford, Robert Merrihew Adams's wide-ranging contributions have deeply shaped the structure of debates in metaphysics, philosophy of religion, history of philosophy, and ethics. Metaphysics and the Good: Themes from the Philosophy of Robert Merrihew Adams provides, for the first time, a collection of original essays by leading philosophers dedicated to exploring many of the facets of Adams's thought, a philosophical outlook that combines Christian theism, neo-Platonism, moral realism, metaphysical idealism, and a commitment to both historical sensitivity and rigorous analytic engagement. Tied together by their aim of exploring, expanding, and experimenting with Adams's views, these eleven essays are coupled with an intellectual autobiography by Adams himself that was commissioned especially for this volume. As the introduction to the volume explains, the purpose of Metaphysics and the Good is to explore Adams's work in the very manner that he prescribes for understanding the ideas of others. By experimenting with Adams's conclusions, "pulling a string here to see what moves over there, so to speak", as Adams puts it, our authors throw into greater relief what makes Adams such an original and stimulating philosopher. In doing so, these essays contribute not only to the exploration of Adams's continuing interests, but they also advance original and important philosophical insights of their own.

Download or read book Methodology Metaphysics and the History of Science written by Robert S. Cohen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of papers that were presented (or nearly so!) to the Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science during the seventies fairly re presents some of the most disturbing issues of scientific knowledge in these years. To the distant observer, it may seem that the defense of rational standards, objective reference, methodical self-correction, even the distin guishing of the foolish from the sensible and the truth-seeking from the ideological, has nearly collapsed. In fact, the defense may be seen to have shifted; the knowledge business came under scrutiny decades ago and, indeed, from the time of Francis Bacon and even far earlier, the practicality of the discovery of knowledge was either hailed or lamented. So the defense may be founded on the premise that science may yet be liberating. In that case, the analysis of philosophical issues expands to embrace issues of social interest and social function, of instrumentality and arbitrary perspective, of biological constraints (upon knowledge as well as upon the species-wide behavior of human beings in other relationships too), of distortions due to explanatory metaphors and imposed categories, and of radical comparisons among the perspectives of different civilizations. Some of our contributors are frankly programmatic, showing how problems must be formulated afresh, how evasions must be identified and omissions rectified, but they do not reach their own completion.
