I learned the most I ever learned about Nourishment from my near death experience(s) - (should we do another podcast on this?) Death will teach you about the preciousness of life. It will show, and not tell us about the richness of each moment. The pleasure of living in a body on this planet. The absolute gift that is a strawberry, and the absolute privilege of seeing what the body is capable of.

I've seen miracles in my life. People who were ill get better, children with autism begin talking, radical shalom bayis, and people who were paralyzed begin walking. I've seen miracles like the sun rising yet again another day, miracles like real friendship, miracles like rupture and repair, miracles like someone (me) recognizing where I was in my own way and moving. I've seen miracles that are "mundane" unless I am aware of looking for God’s hand in everything and God’s face in everyone. I've seen magical things. Epic transformations. Extraordinary moments. (I believe it's because I believe in them that I get to see them so often. I believe it's a part of my mission to Be and See Possibility.)

But by far, the greatest reason that I believe in miracles is the way I now nourish myself. From autoimmune responses, to starving myself, coming from where I come from - the way I nourish myself now, the way I take care of my inflammatory thoughts, the way I love myself, the way I've regained sovereignty with Hashem over something I've outsourced, that is radical, revealed miracles to me like none other.

The healing that has come from this quiet nourishment, from the relentless commitment, from the deep self honesty with Love, from love love love itself, from plugging only into Hashem has been extraordinary.

I share this open miracle here because I want you to know... in my NDE I chose Life... but it's each moment by moment choice that co-creates the life I live. You do not need to die to let each present moment and a new choice rise up with it. You do not need to die to choose to live, to nourish yourself with love, to dismantle what you have learned before, calm the inflammation of the unkind thoughts and love yourself through fullness and energy stewardship.

Love, Rivky
