The stomach is our ground

 The psychological events and states are so connected to the stomach a giant feast or 1 liter of good calming tea can for an amount of time completely change the psychological state of a person. 

The stomach takes in matter and dissolves it. It takes the needed essential chemical compounds we need to survive. It is our connection to earth. 

The heart is connected to thinking in a way. Just think about something scary and anxiety inducing and you will see how your heartbeat changes in seconds. 

The ancient greeks reckoned the feelings and thoughts reside in the heart. Brain to them was just a machine to cool the body down. It was just a kind of AC one could say. 

Nowadays our view of brain changed a lot. We see it as the place our feelings, sensing and thoughts reside. As the key to our world. There is no need to argue with that and it shows us a lot of truth. 

But we should remember our heart as a connection to the sky and stomach as a connection to the earth. 

I'm writing it in a state I have reached after drinking hot coffee and eating two sweet pastries. I feel very grounded and slow, observant. I saw how what I eat and drink changes my mind almost immediately. 

Another thing is how everything we see and hear make us to start becoming in that way. Sister BK Shivani once said: "Can you filter out dirty water after you drank it? No, you can't and same goes with bad thoughts"

Of course we are still more powerful for it to completely change us be it anything we hear. But we need to remember that anything we see and hear changes us to its picutre and we start to become like it.
