This post delves into the spiritual and emotional significance of food cravings inspired by departed souls, observed over two decades of supporting clients through life transitions. Suzanne Toro shares how the deceased communicate through specific food desires, reflected in recipes like Pan-Crisped Potatoes with Tilapia & Cabbage Slaw, dedicated to a loved one named Sylvia. The post also explores cravings in children and pregnant mothers, linking them to past-life memories. Additionally, it highlights the cooling properties of rose hips, rooted in Ayurveda and TCM, and introduces organic, handmade summer wellness products like After Sun Body Balm and Hydromist. These offerings emphasize local, sustainable ingredients to balance the body and soul during summer’s heat.

During Winter, we are encouraged to release fear. The ultimate fear for most of humanity is ‘death’. During the Winter, the Hopi honor how Mother Nature releases the energy of death from the earth. The tradition is to let her rest and to be careful not to disturb her. Which would mean to not dig into, dance on, or break the earth. This is also in preparation for the spring seeds that will soon be planted.

Today, is in auspicious day for me…
As a young child, I was very aware of the cycle of life. I was cognisant of my relationship to birth and death. At the age of 5, I had a transcendental moment when I said to myself, “I am here again.” (I shared this story in the book I wrote, Bare Naked Bliss). In that moment, I came into awareness within my physical body as it was related to my soul’s journey. I sensed deeply that I had been here and apart of this world, prior to this life. Shortly after this moment, I had a deep awareness and yearning to know the day I was going to die. Not years prior but actually the day of or a few days before. This was inspired after watching a film about Sitting Bull (at the age of 7 or 8) and his contemplation of death prior to entering a battle. His ability to listen every morning at sunrise and approach the battle and death with stillness inspired me. These were deep thoughts for a young child and quite natural for an eternal being who wanted to sharpen her awareness and practices within the present moment (in or out of body). -
