Le Livre de la Vie Macrobiotique. George Ohsawa

The book that I present to you today is almost unknown to macrobiotic closer and their detractors. Yet would very much like each of the two formations of thought. Has not yet been translated in Italy and I hope that whoever owns the rights, I think it's Mario Pianesi, macrobiotic pioneer in Italy and creator of the circuit called A Macrobiotic Point ", soon it will available in our language.

Let's see why you should read a book that critics of the Macrobiotic Diet, those who say that it is a model food too close without concessions to foods that this discourages in everyday life. You must first take a step back and recall briefly the history of Ohsawa. This outlandish and exceptional Japanese scientist and humanist, would die as almost his entire family of around twenty, exterminate himself from a bad disease. He chose however to heal themselves with food and relied to a Japanese army doctor who taught him those macrobiotic principles that, then, Ohsawa himself would studied and thoroughly to bring them up in Europe. Used the macrobiotic closer only to heal and agguantata once again health and caused her to nudge, granted to eat sugary sweets, fruit, French cuisine, coffee, chocolate, whisky and wine Moscato is my favorite ... but with a great gift, worthy of his intelligence and creativity: …apparently not everyday... in fact two capital measures, in my opinion, the second the clarifies: and anyway I take these foods in the order of Yin/Yang.

First of all that is just a fattoide what the macrobiotic "prohibits" absolute certain foods such as coffee and sugar. All you can eat, as long as you are careful to preserve the consumption of which is less suitable for health to moments of occasional nature, periodicity, saltuarietà, infrequency.  Secondly, when you were eating more toxic than you should be careful to offset the force of yin (more cooling and expansive) with that of yang food (more heating and subsequent contractile function). What does it mean? I do a simple example. Mexicans, when drinking tequila boum boum (extreme yin), before you jot down the shottino, in the hollow of the hand between thumb and forefinger – a little salt (extreme yang). Popular wisdom. Wisdom "macrobiotic"!Everything here! To limit the damage of alcohol are at the same time a little salt. Try it, if they share, to explain this concept to a doctor, a dietician, a dietician: the concept that food there are vital forces that defy categorization Biochemistry and obtuse calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals!

If those who practice the macrobiotic, even after years and although he regained health, continue to choose to not taste "never ever" certain foods that in choosing foods are not recommended in everyday life, then these people, who respect and esteem must be attentive to the dangers of orthorexia! I do not wish to add more, because I know and many of them. The concept that I expressed it seems very clear even if some do not wish to share it.

 

The Tao of eating.

Grab bag really very effective advertising campaigns, get more masses of people who eat badly to use food supplements. This market is very flourishing and incremented in its turnover of over 10% a year in Italy.

We are told that they are vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats (i.e. macro-and micro-nutrients), the components of the foods that we are not the same foods as such: for example, what contains the carrot, not the carrot, and regardless of the fact that it can be frozen or less and more. Doctors, dieticians, nutritionists (science of nutrition), with their scientific approach to think only amount of the nutrients that the body (such as the machine for the petrol) may need (nor are agree among themselves on those amounts). These "scientists" of little importance that those nutritive substances, identified through a concept exclusively of food biochemistry, are ingested as part of a complete food itself (like the carrot) or as supplements. For these professionals of science, understood in the most negative way possible as the sole bearer of truth, the mutual relationship between these nutrients has no importance and is therefore irrelevant that vitamin C can be obtained by eating a carrot whole or swallowing a pill colored, those which pharmacies are located in front of your eyes in attractive boxessky-high prices, shelves which are in genuine TOTEM of "health". Nearly two billion euros of turnover last year and the famous "polase" from the counter becomes supplement! The quantity in grams of nutrient is everything, no matter how it is conveyed and where you are or where they come. This is the scientific-mechanistic vision that we are faced everywhere, in newspapers, on television, studies of "specialists", for cooks and chefs (when you care about, at least), and even to all types of slow foods which multiply under different names. No one among the foolish asks whether the word "Supplement" means since suffered a defeat for those who prescribes it and buys it. For those who swallow the losing battle is that relating to the food they eat and the type of supply adopted that, clearly, is not "integra" but lacking. Defeat for physicians, pharmacists and others who advise because implicitly admit not having been able to intervene with its customers in their salutogenesi, and then be required to cure diseases and to create the conditions of an acceptable health.

Scientific reductionist approach to nutrition sa consider only the biochemical components of food and not see other intangible factors, such as vegetable-quality animal food, its shape, color, aroma, taste, texture, the direction of growth, the climate or season of origin qualities , all of which are extraneous to judge the adequacy of what we put into the pot.

The Eastern mind instead, with his systemic approach, attaches great importance to all of these factors and the role that they play in their context, in their mutual relations and proportions as well as the nature originated them.

In carrot there are water, proteins, carbohydrates, iron, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, B vitamins, vitamin A, and, last but not least, fiber (hard part that you chew and does well in the intestine). Nature in its infinite wisdom (Tao) created the carrot as a system and has used the human body at a certain beneficial reaction when that Benedict vegetable is eaten in integral form. But if you do not ingest vitamin A carrot in pills, variously made from sugars and starches, our body will certainly surprise. What do you think? Do you agree? In fact, it was not created to metabolize a single element, which immediately begins to type question, i.e. a shortage. With the example of Annemarie Colbin, not finding the fibre, which is the chewing gum, the body will encourage the search for snacks outside meal to chew even when not hungry, with the result of a good fattening.

The scientific model reductionist and mechanistic (westernmost), which sees only the amount of nutrients, claims that are parties to determine the whole and that the cell is the supreme arbiter and the absolute master of the body. The mobile food remains the only compass to orient us in deciding how to eat.

Systemic conception (easternmost) follows the opposite road that sees all determine its parts; health is a condition of the entire body (not only living organism that composed) and "a healthy body is able to win a few diseased cells present within it."

The conclusion is that it promotes the salutogenesi nourishing ourselves with the whole foods instead of nourish individual cells with individual nutrients, as well the nonconformist.

 

Cooking classes.

In the collaboration of Amelia Gonzalez and Andrew Gilio- from 16.00 to 22.00including the dinner prepared together.Shared space is an opportunity for everyone to get closer, once more, a simple, healthy cuisine and in harmony with the body and spirit to discover its secrets. Natural cuisine which is based on the preparation of whole grains, vegetables and legumes, and pastry without the use of eggs, sugar, butter, milk and dairy products, in harmony with the seasons and in compliance with intolerances to foods and the protection of the natural environment and territory. A first theoretical part, to focus on some basic information and make us reflect on the importance of good food for health. A practice that will also become our pleasant convivial dinner to enjoy together and continue to learn, to ask questions and to reflect ... with their hands in the dough!  Participants will be equipped to dispense with the recipes of the meeting, and seasonal energy and will have to intervene in the laboratory with: apron and personal dishcloth, knife-cut vegetables (caddy-also available on the spot), headgear.

I Ching is woman!

The letter leaves no doubt that today we must all men and women, working more on the "femininity": in the direction of a more effective use of energy and strength yin typically feminine but present in varying degrees in each and very often neglected.

The I Ching is one of those tools that put us in touch with our feminine energy. The book of the Yin and the Yang, the feminine and masculine, is the definition which often summarizes the contents of the I Ching (more correctly: Yi Jing). In fact the trust and confidence in this book you acquire over time, make us discover that this summa of Chinese wisdom, is not given equal value to each of two cosmic principles: male female yin and yang. Wonder surprise us with the fact that strategies recommended yin are about twice, for those who want to carefully count, yang. Reflection on the different strategies proposed by the 64 hexagrams in the opera brings us inevitably conclude that it is in fact the great book of the Yin, the "feminine principle". As if the book tell us that, in most cases, the problems you face better with gentleness, patience, the acceptance and the yin, with non-reflective and impulsive attitude, which does not forcibly and aggression of knee-jerk reaction and primary, typically yang and male.

Western misconceptions, encouraged also by a certain part of Chinese history that has relegated women and women in positions of inferiority and subordination to men and men tend to associate values of positivity and negativity to yang in yin. In this way our society has unfortunately favorite constantly what is yang at the expense of what is yin and, among the many consequences, rational and scientific knowledge than intuitive and emotional. But in the human mind, as in the cosmos, the rational and intuitive, yang and the yin, the male and female, are complementary forces in which one of the two may be prevailing over the other but never alone. So what is favourable or positive or good cannot be contained in either the male or the female yin yang, because the focus is moved to the expression balance/imbalance dynamic of the two primal forces. In fact, when the Chinese are the Yin/Yang as negative/positive, quality and natural laws are inseparable and present in every phenomenon but not express value judgements on such elemental forces.

The I Ching is therefore a real sizigia because it represents the inner complementarity between every pair of opposites. Sizigia is the word frequented by c.g. Jung in deep psychology to delineate male female dynamics and consists of three elements: a) of the female controssessuale in man (soul) and the masculine in a woman (animus); b) experience that man has had in his life of women and women, starting with the mother, and vice versa the experience she had of man and men, beginning with the father; (c)) of the archetypal image of the masculine and feminine that each one is formed and which lies also in the collective unconscious.

The trigraph Kun (Earth), in the cosmogony of the I Ching, Yin is the full force of the Earth, and capable of supporting all forms of life. This is not simply something negative and passive, feminine, as today there is a tendency commonly believe and consider. This yin energy is, by contrast, enabling quality typically female acceptance, report availability, of nourishment. It is a vast energy, fruitful, tolerant like that of women. There are including all ability to nourish, support, adapt. There is a completion function. Then the soil that nourishes. Availability. La souplesse. The rest. Maturation. The internalization. Fidelity. The protection. With the doubling of Kun, the Hexagram No. 2 The Receptive. This is properly a "Momentum Receptive" (Faure-Javary) and not, as it defines ordinarily, something real, passive, stationary, static and wait. It is therefore activation of female typical characteristics: availability, souplesse, enable, adaptability to the conditions, etc. Features which, among other things, we all – who more and less – right brain hemisphere, analogue.

For these, as well as for other reasons, I believe that the book of Changes, the I Ching (Yi Jing), can be a valuable tool to help practitioners, psychologists and psychotherapists, as Jung, can provide a unique insight of the character.

The narrative that care.

The first study of Narrative Medicine on the web, so call now! An idea that is as old as the world and that today has fallen into ruin, because doctors don't listen more, write only recipes and they see little and nothing.

Thus was born the initiative for children Hospital of Florence Mayer, a hospital at the forefront in its genre. The tale of a real-time lab space open "live it All", an initiative established with the collaboration of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Mario Negri Institute, Asl 10 of Florence, the European Society for Health and Medical Sociology. The stated purpose is to talk about who is ill to seek to tell what it means to live with the disease today, in an era in which we have treatments once unthinkable, but where we must reckon with the fact that very often we, with our will and our courage, primarily responsible for combating the disease.

A time gathered in one person the curative, and the shaman, sorcerer, Greek and Chinese essay used to using the word, both the food, both the 47th pharmacon (herbs and medicinal plants). Even when I was a kid, I remember that the "family doctor", in the days when someone of his deception, was at home, she sat at the bedside of someone who wasn't well and recommending suitable foods, spoke and speak to give relief, prescribed medications. Was also a nice coffee with my parents and, after an hour, was via us all more refreshed, both the sick that the other components ' healthy ' family. Today is no longer the case. If you need your words will contact only those, if is a psychotherapist, or confessor, spiritual adviser or a, or more, but it will absolutely how you eat and how what you eat (poisons?) can also affect the therapeutic emotional path. If you need medication, today there is the doctor, but it is good to forget that with it you can swap if not words brisk strokes and thick; and it is useful, however, be careful that the amount of drugs that he assigns to the end of the meeting not turn into real poison. If you need to put order in the unregulated power supply that is slowly killing (we saw that the food is also poison) you can request an appointment to the nutritionist or dietician who, when, as happens in the vast majority of cases – is not another soft-killer (with diets-poison), advise you only what foods they prefer and how to eat to stay healthy, bypassing emotions and feelings.

 

 

 

Silences. Emily Dickinson.

When the poet Emily Dickinson died in 1886 at the age of fifty-five years, only very few people had seen in the last twenty years. It was withdrawn in its room of the House where he lived with his family. A strange behavior judged by the usual conformists who always existed and always will exist. Who ever you can withdraw in a State of incarceration if not bandits, sick, particular religious orders, silly people? But Dickinson, really wanted to hide or wanted to try something? In addition, rebel as it was? The poet is not included in the Orthodox world through channels that each of us tries to use to live the life that is touched. Quite The Contrary. The restriction of physical space, vital for her, he served as the works blindness in relation with ourselves (see Jorge Luis Borges, among many): closes the eyes outward and opens the inner life and soul. This restriction does not contracted the horizon of his mind that, on the contrary, he found himself projected into the world of emotions and feelings. The restriction was cathartic for you, because it took away from his eyes that we normally we veil our, we can see that unfortunately. It was a real traveler, as today you can't understand, when you do exotic travel and on the other side of the world without the soul of those travelling to, and used it to travel-travel not evolve.

I Ching: consultations and individual advice.

Weekly space I CHING (Yi Jing), for individual consultations. A service of "philosophical Counseling I Ching", by appointment by calling (see events). The space allows, with the advice of the "I Ching Reader", to ask a specific question on a problem of understanding and guidance that is at heart.

The following are some of the issues prospettatemi in philosophical counseling with the I Ching, which was "a house" thanks to the use of the I Ching.

The meetings have the duration of an hour. It is advisable to participate with the following text: I Ching, the book of changes by r. Wilhelm – Ed. Adelphi

Repair your trunk and dialogue, momentarily interrupted or never activated, between us and the situation, facendocene see the infinite variety of facets, which often escape ourselves because too much involved. How to determine the right strategy, intended as a way to organize the resources available at the time, and our universe, to make them work.

We are prophetic books, not so much because it provide in advance what will happen, but because capturing and narrate the current conditions in the presence of which, what will happen could not happen.

The I CHING is a book by ultra millennial wisdom, formerly used for divination, but today used as modern strategic instrument and valuable guidance, make decisions and get directions on how to act, most congenial at that time of life, and choices in difficult situations and complex.

Consult the I CHING helps us decide in every kind of situation: at work, in relationships, in business, in love, as well as on issues of life and existential doubts.

The answer to our question book offers us a report of configuration at the time, in relation to the universe, to ourselves and to others, putting ourselves in the face of clearly all elements and forces that interact in a situation for which it was formulated the question.

Consult it under the guidance of an expert allows us to reach a elsewhere on the basis of our decision; the main task of a guide, in fact, is to guide us to a path that we chose us, consciously or unconscious, and not the Guide itself.

Conformism food – 2.

A reader of the blog wrote:

Mistermuller, your blog is full of stimuli and content that are in resonance with my hear ... it is rare that a man make a path like that and not let dismount from criticism or derision.

In these days where I it's hard to eat what I would prefer but I try to avoid what so hurt, you have no idea of teasing! Meanwhile they are visibly and abboffano "sluices" … but not never admit that their malaise depends on the type of power …Anyway, thanks! Me you are consoling))).

Cara a. thanks to you for the appreciation. Give me a chance, with stories, write something about those who tease us because we are in our way, we too different.

Those looking to eat using, in addition to the senses including taste mainly, also other criteria of self-regulation for the salutogenesi, scares the other, the so-called "normal"! Represents a danger to them and a challenge for those who professed (and believed to be) "omnivore" but omnivore is not, because I only ever eat, coffee and cappuccino & chandhi home coming with three or five teaspoons of sugar, meat, cheeses, cured meats, dairy products, uses heavy seasonings because good, and says that are all well and he knows many people long (but that we know of his illness or how really has always eaten?) that is not dead for too much sugar or too much meat. Ignoring so that what we should really not be give more years to our lives, but more life to our years, with fewer diseases and disorders and vitality. It's very rare to find someone who, rather than defend insulting in some way who eats unlike him, feels intrigued by different eating patterns. People are afraid to get no discussion and is conformist and arrogant at the same time when it comes to food. We Italians are born "learned" and we distribute tips and recipes to friends and acquaintances saying that we know how you put at the table. But in truth, what we know we learned from the hairdresser, in waiting rooms of the clinics, in the salons of friends, reading newspapers and journalists perfectly framed in the Matrix, witnessing terrible television broadcasts on the kitchen or on the diets.

Cook a perfect steak! step by step

Cook the perfect steak can be a challenge, even for the greatest chefs. This is because the steaks with small cuts of meat can dry out easily or cook too quickly so as to become dry or hard. We recommend using a plate or a pan for steaks flat steel.

Step 1 - Prepare the steaks * Take the meat, preferably fresh, and leave at room temperature for about 20 minutes * If using frozen meat, leave it overnight Defrost in the refrigerator and pull out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
Step 2 - Preheat the pan * Heat the pan or plate over high heat until the surface becomes very hot, I recommend not to smoke. * Take a brush dipped in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and brush the entire surface of steaks. * When you put the steak in the pan the "sizzle" will tell you if the pot is hot enough.
Step 3 - Cook to your liking * Cook on one side, without touching the steak for 3-4 minutes, then reduce the heat with a moderate heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes. * Turn the steak lightly with a pair of pliers

(- Caution Do not Pierce the steaks, the internal fluid will go away and do not cook the steak perfectly -), and cook for 6 minutes. (You can vary the cooking time so they decide whether to get a rare steak or well-done) * To test for doneness, gently press the steak with your fingertips. Blood to the flesh should feel soft and supple, the meat will be tougher, more will be cooked.

Step 4 - Rest steaks * Rest is as important as the cooking, as it allows the meat to have a uniform heat and moisture to develop its own. Remove the meat from the pan and place them in a bowl where you put the baking paper. Place the bowl with the meat in a warm place (oven that you brought to 130 ° and then off) for about 8 minutes.
Step 5 - Serve the steaks

The steak is served with sharp knives designed to cut cleanly through the meat. * Serve your steak on the hot dishes, or make available to the guests of soapstone plates to keep the meat warm. Guide to steak cooking times The times given here are only indicative and relate to a steak that is about 2.5 cm thick. Thicker steaks may require longer cooking times, and vice versa if the steaks are thinner. * In Blood: 1-2 minutes per side - rest for 6-8 minutes; * Slightly Blood: 2-2,5 minutes per side - rest for 5 minutes; Cooking * Average: 3 minutes per side - rest for 4 minutes * Well done: 4.5 minutes per side - rest for 1 minute.
