Serious Sweet Tooth

Q: Dear Karen

I receive my books today.  I am so excited I can't wait to start reading.  I was also happy and surprise that Susun sign all the books in my favorite color purple.  Thanks a bunch! oh one more thing I have a serious sweet tooth and I have to stop craving bad sugar. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

Many Blessings

A: Hello!  So wonderful... I will let Susun know you are pleased.

It is my feeling that all our cravings have a wonderful healthy source. Cravings for sweet are very basic and very healthy in my opinion.  I have found two sources of these.  For some it is from a need for protein.  For others a craving for sweet is a very basic craving for life and/or comfort.  Our first food is sweet, milk, as are our next, usually grains.  Of course in the face of so many refined sugars these no longer seem sweet to us.  Regardless I think our craving for sweet is our need for the nutrition that grains can provide.

With any craving, there can always be mental/emotional aspects to explore. In addition though I believe all cravings are directly connected with our innate wisdom and connection with our deep needs.  The trick I suppose is to find how to connect the craving with the food, or other thing, that satisfies it truly.
