namaste roxy,
i have been a vegetarian for most of my adult life. i spent about a year eating only vegan foods- basically an experiment to see if i felt any healthier afterwards and found that my love for cheese won out over any strict dietary goals.
occasionally i will eat fish and once in a blue moon, (this winds up being like once every couple of years or so),
i eat some meat. i figure if i'm craving it that badly i must need it for some reason, and i dont believe in denying myself something i feel i need.
when i did my initial reiki cleansing i was physically unable to eat anything that wasnt raw. the cleansing period of 21 days where i spent eating trail mix thankfully ended and my appetite resumed. although i cant stand the sight of trail mix since then, i have been better about my eating. i will admit to cheese fries and strawberry milkshakes being my big weaknesses, though.
i do not like the energy associated with eating something that is dead. plus, i have seen live poultry crammed into cages like sardines. chickens living in their own feces and stepping on the dead bodies of other birds in the overcrowded cages. this is not something i wish to put into my body.
personally, i dont have a problem with eating the flesh of an animal for survival. if i were out in the desert i'd probably be hunting lizards and rattlesnakes. given the choices, though of all other things to eat in new york, meat would be my last possible choice.
i find i can focus better when i stick to a vegetarian diet. the mind seems calmer. perhaps this is only psychological? i dont know. either way, i am more comfortable not eating meat. it has been my way of life for nearly the past 20 years and for me, it works.
now, for some vegetarian haggis....
