### **Summary**

This week focuses on the theme of nourishment, specifically **discernment** as it relates to nourishing the body and spirit. It invites us to ask ourselves the question: “am I feeding the good parts of myself, or the bad?”.

The I Ching states that “_Words are a movement going from within outward. Food and drink are movements from without inward_”, and so we have the double relation of food for the body along with thoughts and words for the spirit. Turn your attention to giving yourself the best fuel possible this week. Cut out low quality ingredients, and thoughts which don’t serve you. Maybe this is a week to ignore the price tags at the grocery store and spoil yourself.
