Expert Profile: Evelyn Alexander

Expertise:  I can supplement your knowledge on health food and alternative remedies. I can help sift the chaff from the grain in the field of special diets, exercise plans and natural therapies. By looking at your diet, I can help you assess what you can change about your habits or what ailments and shortcomings you need to accept. I take a dynamic (energetic) approach to health and discomforts. The value of food does not lie in calories and molecular buiding blocks, but in life-force properties. I am not medically trained and I can only supplement professional (medical) opinions with affirmations, or critical points as intuited or based on personal experience. I have done 25 years of research (metaphysics and alternative medicine) and been an expert here for over eight years. Two great ills I can combat are ignorance and neglectfulness. In matters of healthy living I encourage discipline, respect and self-belief. My life-philosophy is fundamentally based on ANTHROPOSOPHY, which in a nut-shell, is a western metaphysical science and modern alchemical way of looking at the meaning of life. It is as pragmatic as the ancient Ayurvedic system, only tailored to modern, western man. It is not meant to replace, but complement reason and technology, to prevent the modern ills of scepticism, abstraction and consumerism. All the answers lie within you waiting for the right question. So, my advice to you will try to find a balance between practical tips and sensitive prompts to a new self-awareness.
My direct nutritional and health care experience stems from 25 years of vegetarianism, 15 years of bio-organic cooking and 10 years as a single mother of an Autistic boy. I have read widely on nutrition and (alternative) medicine. Aside 20 years of intense Anthroposophical studies I have worked on understanding and/or practiced in the following fields: Yoga, Astrology, Meditation, Tarot, Reiki, Taoist Five Element Theory, Colour/Painting Therapy (along the lines of Liane Collot d’Herbois), Herbology, Aromatherapy, Flower Essences, Crystals. I also am familiar with Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Shiatsu, Macrobiotics, Ortho-Molecular science, Touch For Health, Naturopathy, Music therapy, Eurthmy, various forms of Shamanism, Palmistry, Numeroloy, Kabbala, Angels and Elementals. Furthermore I have compared my own findings with a vast number of old and new philosophers and metaphysicians and writers on esoteric, paranormal and pscyho-terapeutic subjects. I take a notable interest in Rosicrucianism, Hermeticism, Alchemy, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Zen, Sufism, Vedanta, North American Shamanism and esoteric Chrisianity. I enjoy the imagery in mythology and fairy tales and find joy and peace in a love of flora and fauna. I am into a holistic life-style. I see congruity between a Higher World order and the microcosm of the human organism.

What do you like about this subject?  The body can be made into a temple or debased into a squat. The luxury and freedom of choice gives you a wide range of self-control, but can also very easily lead you astray and corrupt your purer nature. Our physical body helps us to discover what is temporary and worthless and everlasting and precious. In fact we eat to nourish our souls.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  We can only know what we love. Eating and knowing are closely related: we eat our heart out and like to devour our beloved. To savour is to know. It is key to make every bite and breath you take a part of your love affair with life. My ambition is to show nutritional awareness is a stepping stone to a higher consciousness available to all people.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The dynamics of health and disease test our endurance and patience. To opt for a healthy life-style is to take responsibility for yourself. It cultivates indpendence, creative thinking and true inner freedom.You eat to live and you cannot eat your way to Heaven but a diet ought to be a way of life. You can learn to use the physical as a monitor of spiritual progress.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  It is quintessential to love very much: every bite and breath you take needs to be part of your ongoing love affair with life. Our innate talents and imperfections are to teach us how to become “better” as compared to how ignorant and neglectful we were before. At the same time we must remain connected to a greater whole. Even modern man cannot hope to survive without the help of Mother Nature.
