Wow, Savitree. You’ve taken a complex scientific mechanism and turned it into a deeply human, cautionary, yet hopeful story. We can't always avoid the storm, but knowing that our cellular survival depends entirely on how fast we manually override and 'come back home' to presence is incredibly empowering.
Thank you and yes. We just need to keep coming back home instead of beating ourselves up. Or down regulating and calling that normal. These aren’t just wellness tools that we try and practice when we have time. They’re imperatives for a good life.
It was a difficult piece to write, so I appreciate your words that much more. 🙏
By warm lunch, are you asking literally which to make warm if I had to choose one? The answer would be both. Because of how much energy cold takes the body to process, and both meals leave a lot of day ahead of me to live, and I’d rather be in a lighter, clearer, calmer state for it. This question asks where I’m willing to pay the Negotiation Tax, and I’m not willing. You get to decide for yourself if you are. Experiment with it and listen to your body. Make sure your body signals are online first when you do. Many of us have sufficiently numbed to override them to get through the grind.
yes, that is my question. I hear what you're saying. I don't have a lot of breakfast recipes for warm foods and I usually alternate between oatmeal with hemp, flax, chia, walnuts or eggs with avocado or kimchi, but it's getting rather dull.
Soft boiled eggs or scrambled on a piece of sourdough with a light ghee spread with fresh black pepper. You can also do a bone broth or miso soup with some wakame or spinach. Add basmati rice or rolled oats for more substance. Heating up leftover soup or fish (grilled, no heavy sauce) from yesterdays lunch or dinner is always a nice option. Rice with kimchi and avocado wrapped in nori. Stewed apples with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon.

can only imagine how much of your heart went into writing this, Savitree. The vulnerability you poured into it is exactly why it resonates so deeply.
If I had to make a choice between a warm breakfast or a warm lunch, which one is going to be more beneficial?
