964.0. "Burning food and energy imbalances" by WHEEL::DONHAM (I'll see it when I believe it.) Tue Jan 24 1989 11:17

    
    I've been burning things for two days now. Food, I mean...last night
    it was brown rice (inedible), then popped corn (almost edible),
    and this morning I burned a bagel (charred but edible).
    
    What does this mean?
    
    (You can stop laughing now!)
    
    A few years ago someone explained to me that burning food indicated
    an excess of some sort of energy, but I can't remember if it was
    elemental fire, or yang, or coffee, or what. After I burned the
    popped corn last night I went through a long meditation on the elements
    to see if something was out of kilter, but all looked fine. I'm
    not ready to down a bottle of Yinnie's yet...an overdose of yin
    always gives me a headache. (Come to think of it, the same goes
    for gin...)
    
    Any ideas?

    It means that you liked the bagel best.

    Don't try to see more in it than is there. Burning food is usually
    caused by either impatience or a lack of attention. Pay more attention
    to what you're doing and turn the heat down. you should be all set.

    Oh...er...sorry...(;^).
    
    Perry - some really strange things have been happening to me too
    - as if life is putting inconveniences in my way.
    
    Perhaps there is a pattern here?  Anybody else notice anything?

    Next question, please.

I tend to get burns on my hands over a period of days when I have unexpressed 
rage as I cook.  I will accidentally touch the inside of the oven, the dish, 
the burners that are on...owie.  Some people see red; I see Mars.

This hasn't happened since I met John Mitchell.
:-}

Seriously, it hasn't happened in a little over a year.  I've found other ways 
to deal with anger.

     This statement was made by a wise person.  The excess energy is
     heat... in close proximity to the food... ;-)

     Actually, this has happened to me a few times in the past.  But,
     like Meredith, it is me that gets burned.  Almost always my brain
     figures out what I'm about to do, but can't get the message to
     to my hand quick enough (Remote node unreachable...) to stop the
     burning.  Every time it does happen, it is because I'm preoccupied
     or just plain rushing - you know, (zen talk -->) not living in the 
     'Now'...

    re: .all
    
    I'll remember to invite you all to my next dinner party...lessee,
    blackened filet of soul, sparkling whine...  ;^)
    
    A few hours after entering the base note, I became quite ill;
    temerature at 103.0 F and barely able to move. My spirit guide
    suggested that I stop trifling with fire and spend more time working
    with the other elements, and he gave me a cool drink and a section
    of his tail to eat. I'm much better after a few days of bed rest,
    though still a bit weak. I think that the food burning syndrome
    was just a manifestation of me being sick (wandering mind, etc.).

    did you really eat your spirit guides tail?? I think I've missed
    something in my esoteric education... B^)

    Gee, Mikie?, I thought that *all* spiritual transactions included
    a little tail... B^>
      
    My guide looks like a big salamander...he broke off the tip of his
    tail and gave it to me to eat, muttering something about fighting
    fire with fire. I started to shiver, then went through a sweat,
    and the fever broke.

Just to tie the ribbon on this topic, I haven't burned anything since
I recovered from the flu. Obviously my body was too busy getting sick 
to woory about food on the stove.
