The vegetarian month

Yes, now we have November the vegetarian month. A month to think again what and how we eat. As it is a fact that the eating of meat has risen. Not so much in the western world but in many countries where it used not to be that much meat at the table. 
Well, we all know one reason is, that if your life standard has risen, you're going to eat more meat as this is called the rich peoples food. Sadly that brings us to more problems then we need. But there is also another reason why the eating of meat has risen. Rice has become more expensive and so meat has become cheaper. That's why more and more poor people eat meat instead of rice with vegetables. 
Now we know that meat is not the healthiest of food. It is not that dangerous as many may claim and most science study can't really show that it is a bigger danger then not eating meat. But the studies show quite clear which meat is healthy and which not and those is not meant to just choose the right animal it is the way we grow our flesh. 
We have meat farms all over the world and there are thousands of animals, staying and waiting, growing in high speed and getting antibiotics and steroids. They stand without having the freedom to move as they need. 
So bad food is the bad way we treat. That's one of the reason why this month was taken to open the awareness of eating meat. 
Above all the gas those animals give out, which is very much a part of the global warming, we destroy our nature and ourself- our health as we take unhealthy meat to us. As it is those speed meat needs a lot of salt and fat and other things to be tasty. Sadly those things are the second big danger to our lives. 
Those things makes us getting fat and having heart problems and so on, getting diabetes and stomach problems and cancer. As we also take more meat and forget the rest on the table. Many people have start eating just meat and losing the sight of vegetables, salads and fruits. Which makes it worse for the body- twice.  
But this month will also be here for asking how we treat our plants. There we do a lot wrong too as I already have written about it. 
Destroying our nature with the food industry is nothing new but can be avoided as we need to change some rules and habits. 
First those DIN Norms has to go away as we put more then half of the harvest to the garbage hill. What a waste and what a lie from the politics, the WMF and other big organizations that we need Gen manipulated food. We never needed that! 
So folks time to stand up and go on the streets and tell it to your government! 
With the food we throw away, it is said that we can feed the earth population three times!!!!!!!
Kinda much went wrong with the industrialization!
Starving people all over the world and then comes the church and tell us "bread instead of fireworks". What a hole phrase. What a shame! Just the church could pay for all the children of the world and then all religions have enough money to feed the people everywhere. But what do they do?! Some project to keep the rise on the table- useless projects. 
If they have the power, why not using it for just this and change the laws and rules in giving out food. Because they don't want it. Because they want money and not help. 
Well, there we have the devil! 
The same is of course for big companies and your ministers. Kings and Queens. They all could, but don't want. So we, the common people have to start getting up and showing them the mirror they always want to avoid. 
Another reason for the vegetarian month. 

Oh I hear you starting complaining right now- stop it! 
No one said it must be big from the beginning, start with little steps and get a feeling of what you are capable of. You will be surprised of how much you can do! Start with being aware of what you eat. Eat less meat and only from the local and a little farmer as this will have more fair and healthy living for the animals and if you are a man with empathy this is what you want.  Then look out where you're food is coming from- big farms or small ones. Do you really need every fruit all around the year? No! Buy those who are actually naturally ready to be eaten and not grown in far away countries or greenhouses. Buy only what you really will eat (because otherwise the risk you will throw the rest away is big) and think/remember about that cheapest food is mostly not always the healthy food. Make most of your meals by yourself and you will eat differently. Eat less as we all eat to much in the western world. Gather yourself around with people who thinks similar and try the same. In that way you'll feel stronger and more positive in your attitude. 
You don't have to be a vegan and avoid milk and eggs and cheese, but take less of them as this is also an industry with horrible side effects for the animals. 
Because let's be true, to change your food habits takes time and it has to start in your mind. And yes mankind would not have survived without starting eating meat, although no one can be for sure. And that an elephant does not need meat is typical vegan to show us that we don't need it, but there are other big animals who eat just meat as lions, crocodiles and those are one of the oldest race of earth. So find better reason to avoid meat! The same with taste- meat does not taste itself is a lie it taste and plants can taste awful and boring or nothing at all. So the reason lies in how we treat each other, or nature and ourself. The reason has to lie in your empathy and what future you want for mankind and as one can be  sure- too much meat makes us more aggressive as we need to be.  
But after all, all your body needs will contain in plants but read through a lot of literature and be critical as here we have on every side lobby politic working. 
Much listening to your inner voice will be needed in the end. 
I am pretty sure your way will go up and down and change in more then one way, but nevertheless- this month can give you the chance and the reason to start.

Chen Che Teahouse

If you visite Berlin, you maybe will take a walk around the Hackescher Markt. 
It became a well know hot spot now. Even late at night there are a lot of tourist there.
Although this area is nice but you know it's always a bit difficult to see it, when an area becomes very famous. It always has a danger of getting lost to the people who actually live in the town. 
But then, when you are there you get sure hungry on time after walking and shopping around. Well, there are a lot of restaurants you can go in, all quite expencive and not really the best in quality, but that's nothing new in the modern world on hot spots. I know only one exaption actually, but about that I will tell you later. But if you walk a bit up to another hot spot, the Kastanienallee or also called the Casting- allee, then you maybe walk on the side where a Jazz Club is and right after the entre, there it is in the backyard. First when you look up there you see like noodles hanging on the wall but right in front of you a lot of flowers too and a restaurant which you will like very much. It's vitnamese and not only the location is very nice and has also a little garden in the back too, where you can sitt and listen to birds and get the fresh food and soups and teas... 
All is made by the cook very well and the stuff is nice and you have no problem to talk to each other and because of the way how the location is made, it feels a bit like beeing in a film playing in that area of vitnam in the "good old times". Like that. Of cource, you have place for several people eating together, but best kind to dinner there is to be at maximum- four. Then you really can enjoy the time. 
You can chose from usually three or four day meals but also from a card. If you come after 3 in the afternoon, then I absolute recomend to take the calssic tea time choice, after main dinner. There you get tea, cakes on a plate, so very nice and sweet and good tasted. I always enjoy this "classic tea time". But there are also other sweets you can get after you hade your soup. And those soups by the way are not just a bit of food and the rest is whater. Oh no, you actually eat a lot for a very good price. So after all 5 stars from 5 from me. 
And here is the link to take a look at: 

the pic is from the facebook side.. I try to put more pics on this blog next days..

Smile- Mediation

So if I write about burn-out I should maybe write also about what you can do.
I think I did mention once or twice in my blogs to take five minute each day to enjoy something simple, or to give you each day a little present (and that does not mean to buy something... maybe but there is so much more..). Alright, but if you don't have the time for sport, yoga or an everyday walk in a park, then maybe mediation is your way. Those meditation can take 5, 10 or 20- 30 minutes... Sure in the beginning it won't be much more, or you are the one who can do so from the beginning. But for the rest, 5 minutes can feel like an hour.
Mostly it is good to start in a group of people but if you want to do it alone at home, then just know... there are no right or wrong, just find out how. And... it's absolutely normal if you lose the focus and start thinking what you should buy next day. Just make sure you get aware of that and then go back to what you wanna do- meditate. 
First- how you sit, or lay is up to you, no matter what they say... you should feel comfortable and this must be because you need to stay it that way a couple of minutes. But to be true, when you start with laying down, there is a high risk of sleeping at the end... But-again- if you lay down, then you should find a good CD where they lead you the way, so you can calm follow and rest. 
Otherwise, sitting on the ground or the chair you can start with watching yourself breathing- be aware how the air comes in and goes out. An easier way is to chant. The most popular is the "Om" which just means in easy words- you are ready. The sound of mantras has a deep frequency and it will help you much to calm down and also ease pain. To start with the "Om" is the most easiest way, then later if you are used to, then you can take mantras with more words and just look on youtube or in special stores and you'll find them and also the meanings of those or look on this side: 
" http://www.beyondsinging.com/de/interact/sing-along.html++/devotion/13/ "
This is a project Tina Turner is a part of and there you're on the right side. 
But as I did try a lot of different meditations I can recommend another one at least for the end of each meditation setting. The "Smile- Meditation". To be true in the beginning I was thinking that this is stupid, is just something people came up to make money or to make a  laugh stocking out of you. But like Julia Roberts in the film "Eat, Pray, Love", I started to smile next to each day after my meditation. To smile with my face, then with my mind, then heart and bladder, then with my lever and so on... It turns out that one day it was not only easy to do so in meditation, it also is now very easy in my everyday live, just to smile out of no reason. It's relaxing, feels good and no matter what people think- they surely mostly thinking nothing at all or just wonder why I seem to be happy. But all I actually do is relaxing my muscles and making my body bringing out and producing all the good things which your body needs to stay healthy. I mean we all know that smiling needs the most less muscles to get done. Easy, but we forgot and learned to use muscles to look unhappy without being aware that we can have it another way. So maybe you give it a try and smile and maybe one day you too just do.

with a big smile to you....

What can I eat after all the scandals?

Well, to be true... this question needs more then one post.... 
It seems you can't eat much at all if you look at the scandals we had when it's about your food or should I better say..our food... The daily need we have to get through... 
I mean is meat meat if there is sometimes no meat at all inside? Or what meat do we actually eat if we can't trust what we read? You remember all the horse meat in next to - it seems like that- everything we buy what has the name meat or beaf... 
Or as a vegetarian who loves fish we must look very close to what fish we still can eat 'cos we have fished out next to all we can catch in the ocean and we do it so loveless that it is a shame how we deal with animals... This shame goes on when you think about the fact that of all the cheese you eat and milk you want, the cows looks like something else but animal and then they have to give birth to calves after calves which get- I must say it- murder for there is no use for them... What a waste... And if this is not enough... much of what is produce for us will land at the end on the garbage heap. And not only the fish, the milk, the cheese, the beaf, also the honey, the apple, the salad, the bread, and so on.... We waste next to over 70% of our food into junk.... 
So do you still feel good? Yes? No?
I ask you this because you are going on buying all the "shit", ignoring the fact that it is crazy to buy seafood from china when you live in Germany or England or America... 
I ask you this, because i don't see anyone of you going on the streets and say: "STOP!"
Oh you mean some people do.. and you just can't afford a changing.
What a shame... How sad... 
I don't expect you to change from one second to another but don't you think you can buy a bit more aware? I mean look where the food is coming from and how it is made..... Try to by less industrial produced food and meals and make it your own way it takes the same time as to wait for the microwave to heat up your cheap food and believe me the cheap food is mostly more expensive then you think... Try it.. buy the things you need and start making your own meal and see that this won't cost much more and.. after a while you will feel more healthy and stronger... and maybe you see, it can be same cheap..
You don't think you can do?
Mmmh?
Then I am worry...
I worry about the fact that we have so much scandals and we see how bad we treat the animals and how much chemistry we use for our plants, although we never want this to be this way but then... I see all the people working for those companies and being so heartless and rude....
I worry about what does this do to our children... They already get weak with this and allergic and also stupid... 
I worry about that the politic is full of lobbyist 'cos there is no real change in the rules how to do it... how to deal with food... how to produce in a better way...
Just now it seems that the EU-commission is going to say yes to go on to subsidize the big industrial mass production, who care very less till nothing at all about the nature, animal feelings and rights or your health...
Well they do know in Brussels that you can go another way and more healthy way.. that this is possible and able to do and keep people in work... But saving the nature seems not to be something the big politic cares about... It's only the money... How weak must they be!
I worry about our future of health and happiness and that this means that so many people are slaves at the end for a longer time and no one really has forced them to be ....
I worry that to less people start the revolution for a better living and are aware in the way of living....
I worry about the question when is it enough for you out there to take finally action and be part of a future where we respect animals and plants again the way we should... 
I mean most of us remember what we've learned about this... 

Treat everything with LOVE and Respect and take only what you really need, but then also give to keep all in balance.....

So won't you think about it and start being more aware next time you buy something to eat..?

Well I try to send you my LOVE & LIGHT to be stronger and to see more clear and easier...
