Like Water For Chocolate Sparknotes

I had never really thought about it before, but I love the analogy. Water naturally flows to the lowest level. Whether it is draining down the gutters in the street or down a majestic waterfall, water flows down. According to the Tao we, as humans, can learn humility from the way water naturally flows.

When we begin to boast of an accomplishment, we are putting ourselves above others. To elevate ourselves in this way is not natural. It is as if our ego has taken charge of our divine spirit and made of point of letting others know we are better than them. If we were living like water we would keep moving forward not making a big production out of certain events in out lives.

Water is also patient. Over time it can wear out the densest material. Its flow is persistent as well as humble. Where we may give up when circumstances appear to be hopeless, water carries on. The ebb and flow of the tides creates new shorelines every moment. And its flow over riverbeds creates new dimensions in the hardest of stone over time.

Water remains flexible throughout turbulent weather. It freezes in the winter, thaws in the summer, and rises and falls in the form of precipitation. Water remains, only its form changes. If we used the natural ability to move with nature (like water), we would become more tuned into how to be, rather than what to do.

The more we connect to the universal divine energy, the easier life will become. When we reflect on the peaceful calm of a gentle lake our minds will naturally live in peace in that moment. When we let go of our accomplishments and possessions, realizing that they were not really ours to begin with, we will live with less anxiety.

When you try to grab a handful of water, it naturally slips through your fingers. Think of yourself this way-as a part of nature, and this infinite energy. Just like water, no one and no thing can contain you.

Meditate on this. Like water, allow your thoughts to flow to the deepest part of you. Do not try to control them, let them swim around naturally until they find their way.

This meditation can be like a spiritual healing offering inspiration in difficult times. Depression is a state created by ego-driven thoughts. If you lived like water depressed thinking would be a thing of the past.

Water nourishes everything it touches and gives without thinking. In this way, it gets what it needs, because the law of attraction supports its existence.

Water in its purest form expresses the power of love. You were surrounded by it in your mother's womb. And you replenish your body with it everyday. When you live at one with water and become settled into "going with the flow" you will think less, and be more.

There is great news for chocolate lovers...Chocolate is good for your health! Now, we are not talking here about a candy bar but about real chocolate, the kind that contains at least 71% of real cocoa. Something to remember when selecting chocolate is that the darker it is, the less sugar it contains and the better it is for you.

We are all aware of the emotional benefits of chocolate. By liberating endorphins in the body, chocolate provides us with feelings of comfort and wellbeing, energy and pleasure. Some surveyed women go as far a saying that they would prefer chocolate to sex! No wonder with such a texture, rich color and taste, chocolate is not only an aphrodisiac but also a pleasure for the senses. In addition, chocolate also contains serotonin and caffeine which both provide energy and promote good humor.

Pleasure aside, chocolate also holds beneficial health properties. Chocolate's complex chemical composition offers a variety of substances that the body needs to function properly and to prevent disease.

Chocolate enhances cardiovascular health. Like red wine, the phenols contained in dark chocolate help prevent coronary diseases. The British Medical Journal reports that a daily portion of 100 grams of dark chocolate reduces blood pressure and the occurrence of cardiovascular incidents by 21%. These phenols are also rich in antioxidants and they help neutralize free radicals produced by the body or absorbed thought cigarette smoke and other sources of pollution. Cocoa butter is already used in creams to heal scars and burns. No wonder pharmaceutical companies are now exploring the possibility of researching with chocolate to develop new medication to counter cancers and osteoporosis.

Chocolate does contain fats but these are unsaturated and contribute to reducing bad cholesterol and to increasing good cholesterol. Chocolate is also an excellent source of magnesium. Should it contain nuts, chocolate can become a great source phosphor and vegetable iron.

One of the many benefits of living in our time is that there is a plethora of organic and fair trade chocolates that are readily available to us in natural health food and grocery stores. The benefits of purchasing these types of chocolates abound but the most obvious are that they do not contain organochlorine pesticides that are usually used to treat traditional cocoa crops and that are harmful not only to the consumer but also to the field worker. Furthermore, purchasing fair trade chocolate ensures that the (healthier) worker can benefit from improved working and living conditions by receiving a fair salary for their work.

Like with everything however, chocolate must be consumed in good measure. Chocolate increases caloric intake and energy level. This can be good, provided these calories are burned. We might even change the saying to "Some chocolate everyday keeps the doctor away!"
