Let's also talk about comfort eating. I'd say usually we comfort eat to mitigate some emotional stress we may be feeling - especially due to the intensity of life in the Matrix.

I've especially found that we tend to want to comfort eat when the body is producing a good deal of cortisol - released from the adrenal glands due to high stress and anxiety. A lot of empathic people get this, but also those with strong dragon energies. Personally I find that if I don't address the cortisol, it tends to get deposited in the stomach and then I need to consume something to placate it.

I'm not saying don't consume. I'm saying be careful what you do consume - or else if it's junk, these tends to build long term addictions and dependencies.

Firstly, it's essential to work on the stress - why do you get stressed out? What's the need for an outcome of the situation to go a particular way? Can you identify these reactivites as they happen and 'get inside the loop' with deep breathing?

Recognise that you may have adrenal burnout. Hence the importance of this reset and all the suggestions and points of focus in it. We'll get onto Breakthrough - how you get inside the loops of reactivity as they're happening, and open out through them.

Go for as much sustenance in nature as possible - deep breathing in nature. But if you do need to consume some soul food, make sure it's healthy, and plant based. Consume it slowly, consciously, enjoying every morsal. Make sure you work past self judgment in this regard - because that creates a blind spot of shame and guilt, that actually needs more feeding!

So develop your comfort foods, yes, but make sure they're healthy ones.

Where cortisol builds in the gut, we'll also need to look at breaking that down through the application of alkalising approaches - consuming apple cider vinegar before a meal; grapes, pears, cellery, kale and avocadoes with your meals.

What's your experience with comfort eating?

On Divinicus, this was a delectable Lemon Cheescake (make from cashews not cheese) which was totally mouth watering, filling and healthy...
