Healing Mind, Body, and Spirit by Heather Barrett Schauers

"The real purpose of attaining better physical health and longer life is not just the mere enjoyment of a pain and disease free existence, but a higher, divine purpose for which life was given to us. All endeavors toward attaining better health would be wasted efforts unless the healthy body is used as a worthy temple in which the spirit will dwell and be developed. The purpose of our lives is not just the building of beautiful bodies, but perfecting and refining our divine spirit and becoming more God-like. I wish to emphasize that there is a divine nature and purpose to all life, and that the real reason for achieving good health and building a strong, healthy body, is to prepare a way for our spiritual growth and perfection." --Paavo Airola

Vision of Mother Eve

By small and simple things, great things are brought to pass.

We recently took a trip down to St. George to explore and get some sunshine. We had so much fun at Pioneer Park and Sand Hollow Reservoir, small places I didn't know existed but were even more fun than Zion. Sometimes its the simple things that bring us most joy.
Like choosing to have a wise food mind. Though not easy, it's a simple way to safeguard health. Before our trip, I got up an hour earlier than the rest of my family to pack healthy snacks and lunches for the next two days. We enjoy eating out when we travel, and we bring a cooler with non-sugar, home made, whole food snacks for the car rides and picnics! It's part of how I provide and help provide for my family's needs.
Small and simple things like providing nutrient dense foods to my children helps in many larger ways for mental and physical health. Sound health leads to increased will power, patience, and happiness. This in turn leads to increased potential for spiritual strength.
I understand that there are healthy people who are not inclined to have more spiritual strength and stamina, and there are many unhealthy people who are spiritual warriors. However, I have learned that in order to serve in the ways God has asked me to serve, it is a whole lot easier to do so with faith and trust when I feel good mentally and physically. I have enough limitations without creating more through unwise eating choices!
Russel M. Nelson stated: "We need women who have a bedrock understanding of the doctrine of Christ and who will use that understanding to teach and help raise a sin-resistant generation. We need women who can detect deception in all of its forms. We need women who know how to access the power that God makes available to covenant keepers and who express their beliefs with confidence and charity. We need women who have the courage and vision of Mother Eve"  I wish to confidently share with all members of the church that in a world full of food corruptions, being wise about what we choose to eat matters! What we serve our family matters! While we have life guard it, protect it, value it by treating it with love.
Is it what 2016 will bring to you or what you will bring to 2016? This year resolve to have a Wise Food Mind! This book is my journey about fighting food corruptions, why it is so important, and how to incorporate food boundaries in a environment full of temptations.
I've attempted to share with as much charity and confidence as possible how you can change. Please share with your friends and family that there is a way to develop healthful eating habits for life. You can purchase Wise Food Mind at Amazon.com in book or kindle form.
