Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul: Essentials of Eating for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being

Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul leads us back to a deeper and healthier relationship to eating by drawing on ancient food wisdom from the world's religions and cultures. From Jewish dietary laws and the communion of Christianity to the food-based spiritual practices of Islam, Hinduism, and the Japanese tea ceremony, among many others, author Deborah Kesten shows how to create a more satisfying, spiritually oriented approach to food.
Also includes cutting-edge scientific research on the life-giving properties of food, and fascinating insights from more than 45 scientists and spiritual teachers, including Jon Kabat-Zinn and Larry Dossey, to focus our attention on how to prepare both food and your state of mind so that you are nourished optimally.
