Eating Part 20 - Parental Manipulation

 

EATING 

In this blog, i am looking at how i was as a parent in the way i manipulate my children to eat a certain kind of food which was part of the ideology of my guru at that time - forgiving myself and opening the door for correction.

Forgiving Myself

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to - as a parent, manipulate my children 

when they were young to become sentient vegetarian and bringing them to gatherings that only serve those kind of foods - believing that since i chose that way of eating, they should also eat the same kind of food i eat - which in a way is imposing on my body because i really did not look at all angles of eating and what it really means before i chose to have that diet - and also imposing on my children's bodies

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to wish and desire that the father of my kids also change his diet to the same diet i am in - not realizing that he  has a body with different health history and nutrient needs 

When and as i see myself manipulating people to eat food that i eat, i stop - i breathe. I realize that individuals have different body designs and as such they have to walk their food process and find out what food their body needs

I commit myself to allow others to open the door to their optimum expression and be here to cross-reference with but not control them

I commit myself to trust that life is here
