Detox Adventure: T-1
When I first read Matrix Energetics, I was intrigued by the idea of morphic fields, and how we interact with them in a way that shapes us, and we strengthen them. In particular, I recognized that there is a strong morphic field around how we are with food, weight and body image in this culture. The thoughts, beliefs and constructs about what we should and shouldn’t eat, how we should move, the standards of beauty are all a part of, and supported by the energy we add to the morphic field on a daily basis.
Really, what’s exciting to me is the idea that by being aware of all that, and shifting just a little, we can re-shape the morphic field and change the culture. Like a monkey inspired to wash a sweet potato on a remote island in the South Pacific. So, one of my intentions in changing the structures around food for a few days is to become aware of the thoughts, reactions, and beliefs that result from being outside my comfort zone.
“The Last Supper” is one of the games people play when engaging in the binge/deprivation cycle that is yo-yo dieting. It’s the last indulgent eating before the pattern of denial starts, the feast before the famine. As I’ve noticed experiencing hunger more frequently in the past few days, I’ve also noticed the part of me that’s afraid of the hunger to come. The part of me that wants to avoid discomfort. The part that wants a big ol’ burger and fries for lunch today.
It brings to mind the stories around set-points and metabolism and what happens in the yo-yo dieting cycle and God knows, I don’t want to reinforce that. Clever little gremlin.
My “last supper” is really lunch, as dinner the night before is part of the proscribed program. I have a standing lunch appointment with a group of people, and word is that a local brewpub is on the agenda. Great burgers and sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes! Right there on the menu to remind me what I am about: inspired by the clarity of my desires to shift my behavior, and by doing so, impact the morphic field.
Hmm… am I the monkey in this scenario? What’s your inner monkey noticing today that will allow the morphic field to shift?
