* Looking at the basics of macrobiotic eating

Choice determines the quality of your life and presents the opportunity to empower or enslave, create safety, offer challenge, and invite love or keep it distant. Because you are always making choices, recognizing the possibilities of choice is the first step toward creating a happier and healthier life. Through the risk of choice and the surrender to its trials and tribulations, you can uncover a primary and powerful tool for self-healing.
There are many paths to self-realization. Some paths seem to be direct routes; others follow more variation. However, like a vehicle you depend on to get you from place to place, your health carries you through life, fortifying you for challenges and providing you with resiliency to adapt to difficulties in order to pursue, undaunted, your journey.
