 We are entering (actually, we have already entered) an age, where science and nature are revealing to us that everything is vibrating energy and that we are undeniably interconnected whether it is through the water we drink, the air we breathe or the thoughts we think—especially when some of us have the same exact thought at the same exact time.
Clearly the recent popularity of 'The Secret' and older movies like 'What the Bleep Do You Know?' reflects our growing collective willingness to accept these universal truths which certainly benefit our ability to cultivate and maintain Our well-being. Expanding this 'new' understanding of interconnection to our inner and outer worlds makes it possible to consider our longing for sweetness in a new way.
Most often it's not sugar that we crave, but the experience of sweetness that we want - whether from kindness, from chocolate, from maintaining our integrity, from a perfectly ripe peach, from an authentic connection with another or from truly accepting ourselves (as bitter and unacceptible as we might feel). This desire for sweetness and pleasure can be very slippery, and it's easy to get confused and reach for something sweet outside of us which offers, at best, a quick fix and only deepens the biochemical confusion.
After having eaten enough 'sugar,' our bodies begin to think that it's really some form of sugar that we want instead of the invisible inner experience, so we get creative - consuming carbohydrates (disguised sugar), alcohol (fermented sugar), which begins to energetically and biochemically alter our bodies and our brains — which has its own story and implications.
Nevertheless I believe it's some experience of sweetness that we hunger for like joy, connection, even ecstasy, because deep within everything we see, sense and feel is that frequency of ecstastic interconnectedness with sweetness being one thread to it. Since our brain can't tell the slippery difference between the sweetness of a piece of chocolate, a warm embrace, or total self-acceptance, the ease of eating sweetness becomes the choice many make.
A way to tap into that invisible sweetness is to do something that allows both you AND your body to experience it - like a chocolatey embrace. Wink. Truly taking care of yourself and your body not only offers sweetness but also restores wellbeing. It is the practice of cultivating this 'inner sugar' that is the most important ingredient in our gRAWnola. Our gRAWnola 'elves' not only grind dates and soak nuts, but they are trained masters in cultivating the energy of sweetness within themselves and infuse it through their hands into the gRAWnola.
I am not saying that eating our gRAWnola will help you accept yourself, but it will certainly nourish you and provide you with some extra energy to dream and imagine.... and potentially discover who you are. How sweet would that be!
