Yin Yang Food - How to Eat In Harmony and satisfaction
Feng Shui is all about placement for balance, here I have applied the concept to the best food for balance. Whilst Feng Shui is used to ensure the environment reflects a balance of Yin & Yang, the food you consume can also balance your own Yin & Yang energy.
The theory of Yin and Yang can also apply to the food you eat. With food, Yin would generally be the milder flavors while Yang would be the bolder flavors. Nature reflects the essence of Yin & Yang, light and dark, hot and cold, stationary & moving are simple examples. But how does this apply to the food you enjoy? Are you aware that over processed food is often grey or even black? One well known soft drink is a classic example. It's life force began a long time ago with sparkling effervescent clear water and finished up as of black, manipulated, dead energy. You are what you eat.
Think about this before you consume. If you would like feel bright and happy, eat food that is colourful and light. If you would prefer to feel dull and exhausted, choose heavy, dark, modified, manipulated foods. Plastic is not fantastic. A golden rule I use is the more packaging, the more dead the food.
Here in Australia we have supermarkets spending millions of dollars on convincing us as "The Fresh Food People", when maybe 10% of their product appears fresh! Even then it's a joke- our apples for example spend six months in a coolroom before they get to the supermarket....now should they still be allowed to call themselves the fresh food people? I think not. Select carefully, buy food in season and as local as possible.
We here Flying Woks, Event Planning Melbourne, specialize in Asian catering so we have learned the traditional Chinese way of preparing and cooking fresh food. The Chinese generally buy their fruit and vegetables daily, not weekly like us westerners and if you go into a Chinese grocery you will notice the freshest vegetables, it makes our supermarkets look outright second rate.
Chinese recipes already take full use of this type of Feng Shui balance. For example a sweet and sour strong flavored pork dish would be served with plain rice; an example of Yin/Yang balanced.
Soft or delicate food with crunchy food is another example eg. Tofu dishes with chopped nuts or diced water chestnuts always balance these textural differences. A plate full of crunchy food could tire the mouth, while a plate full of soft food might not seem very fulfilling by itself.
Balance is very necessary in consuming food. At we always attempt to provide a range of at least three different colours of food per meal eg red chillies with green cabbage & orange baby carrot or beetroot with white fish & green spinach are simple visual examples of seeking balance through your diet.
Remember you are what you consume. Your eyes will tell you enough information about the food you are about to consume, if you are not enticed by it, why eat it? The food you consume can raise your spirit or kill your spirit.
And finally, eat in gratitude. I always try to take a moment to thank everybody involved in providing this meal to me, the farmers, the vegetables, the animals, even the sun, wind and rain. It all right then and there exists for my nourishment. Then Yin & Yang is naturally balanced.
