I have a dear friend who teaches NIA, a fusion of dance, martial arts and the healing arts. She speaks of dynamic ease--knowing the moves and doing them properly, with strength and confidence--yet with ease and relaxation. I have been thinking about this in relation to food and nutrition. Having the wisdom and knowledge about eating for health is very important. But if it is presented in a way that promotes fear or anxiety, or if someone feels stressed about everything they eat......even a "perfect" diet may not produce health. Toxic emotions and stress can undermine health as well as poor nutrition.
Eating with dynamic ease means having the wisdom and knowledge about nutrition, and acting on it--but with ease, calmness and non-judgment (toward self and others)-- understanding that you won't be perfect, but are striving to do your best. So relax.
