#3 - Food?

Yes! I love this topic! My different mindsets do influence how and what I eat greatly. I have always had an aversion to meat because it's not in my nature to crave it or eat it. However as I grew older and I became more aware of other past lives besides my horse one it started to shift slightly. I was very uncomfortable with eating meats but I knew that it was good for me so I would try to get a forced "shift" of my dog past life so I could eat it and it worked! Now that I also have reconnected to other life of mine where I only ate meat and the urge for meat and specifically blood has become it's own urge too, occasionally. Everything that isn't horse-aligned still makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes though, if I stop to think about it, because it's my default. But I have learned to make space for other parts of myself too.

really interesting hearing your experiences ... ! do you have a preferred horse aligned food or is it just usual vegetarian options? 

Thank you! ^^ raw vegetables are definitely my main preference! I do have a lot of hay in my house because of my rabbits and I can’t help but wish I could digest it haha, I do crave to eat things like it. Also something interesting perhaps that I forgot to mention is that I can get really anxious about the idea of not having access to foods at all time. Even if I don’t eat it. Horses need to eat consistently or we can get serious stomach issues. That instinct doesn’t always mix well with my anxiety and I always eat something small right before bed too to ease my horse brain. I also tend to stray away from big meals during the day and prefer to space out my food intake in smaller portions.

that's very cool. im sort of the opposite, haha. i go long periods without eating even when hungry, but when i have access to food, ill eat way more than youd expect i could. i believe it has something to do with undead patience...

so it's interesting hearing about your instincts when my own are so sporadic!! thank you for answering.

hmm, i definitely love meat (unfortunately i cant eat a lot of red meat), but i'm not under the impression that it's due to what "species" i am if that makes sense. there are times yes where prey drive is very present but it's less the urge to eat meat and more the urge to hunt. i like meat how i like other things like salads and such. i didnt crave animal products more after awakening either. think im just a beast with a wide palate :p

as for how i eat... i definitely tend to tear into things and i like eating with my hands/paws when possible

i also experience the urge to hunt, though i dont because it is not necessary for me to. i do enjoy tracking from time to time, though.

its good to hear that you have a wide palate. do you think you could be a true omnivore, like bears?

thank you for answering!

Actually, yes. I occasionally feel like eating like a tamed cat or dog. I also like to rip into meat like some sort of predatory animal. I also sometimes eat lettuce like a giraffe and carrots like a rabbit.

i love ripping into meat. eating steak with hands is one of life's joys, haha.

thank you for answering.

Absolutely, yes. I eat a lotta fish and cephalopods. Sometimes chicken. I think it stems from me being some kind of Arctic cetacean. 

i love seafood. what is your favourite fish? i like tuna. though, shrimp are my favourite.

thank you for answering.

Not as much what I eat, since that's primarily influenced by my autism, but in the way of which I eat. I drag my food into a corner of the room, somewhere dark, mainly on the floor. And when I do eat, it's very fast and in small chunks. 

very cool to hear. im glad you have a space to eat.

thank you for answering.
