The Healing Power of Raw food

13-Moon Date: Moon 10 Day 1

If we are currently facing disease or sickness or lethargy then we must take a serious look towards where we are getting the life force, or prana, to feed our bodies and our cells. We can start with analyzing what we put into our bodies. We must inspect the food we eat, the substances we drink, the medicine we take and what we breathe. In order to get more life force, or prana, we can begin to look at the food we eat and ask if it is healthy and life supporting, or if it is the opposite, and bringing us more death than life.

The foods with the most prana are plant based foods in their original, un-heated (uncooked) state because they are considered raw and alive. (Remember, ‘we are what we eat’.) Raw food includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, grains and legumes in sprouted form, seaweed, micro-algae (like spirulina), and fresh juices. These live foods (living foods) contain a wide range of vital life force nutrients (ie. vitamins, minerals, amino acids, oxygen) and live enzymes. The nutritional properties of live foods are essential to the proper maintenance of the human body. Raw food is easy to digest, and provides the maximum amount of energy, (prana) with minimal bodily effort, thus giving your immunity a fighting chance . Studies have shown that living foods have healing powers that can alleviate many illnesses such as low energy, allergies, digestive disorders, weak immune system, high cholesterol, candida, and weight problems. Research and real life experiences have also shown that a person can prevent the body’s healthy cells from turning into malignant cancerous cells by consuming mostly a raw food (organic) diet. Raw food has been shown time and time again to even begin to reverse certain diseases. Raw foods are much better for your body than cooked foods because heat changes the makeup of food. Processed food and foods that have been over heated, or heated in the microwave have lost all of their life force, and their beneficial enzymes are destroyed. The body then has to work harder and longer to process cooked foods to get any amount of energy from them. I have read that cooked food can lose up to 85%!! of its nutritional value, and when we are sick, we can not afford that sort of loss.

Affirm: I am healing my body. I am open to more healthy ways of living. I am feeling better with each breath i take.

Our most basic Nutrient

13-Moon Date: Moon 9 Day 28

Nutrition is what we feed to the cells of our body that support our life. When we think of nutrition we normally just think of the food we eat, but our food is not our only source of nutrition. When we think of feeding our cells, we can also think about a sanskrit term called prana.
Prana refers to the life-sustaining force of living beings and the vital energy of the Universe. The presence of prana is said to be what distinguishes a living body from a dead one. When a person (or any other living being) dies, the prana is thought to leave the body. So, we can think of prana as our ‘life force.’ This prana is our most basic nutrient. ‘Life force’, or prana,on the physical plane, comes from the live food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breath and the sunlight we absorb. We could say our prana comes from the earth, the water, the air and the fire. It is also said that there is one more source of prana and that is what we can call for now Spirit. (or God.) Some will say that Spirit is the ultimate source of nutrition. So, in beginning our healing process, it will be imperative for us to analyze and ask: from where are we receiving our prana?

Affirm: I am open to healing my body and my life. I know my cells are being nourished because I make choices that support my life force. I am feeling healthy today.

Understanding true Nutrition

13-Moon Date: Moon 9 Day 26
Blue Self-Existing Night

Simply put, when eating we choose to put something into our mouths for our bodies to process or assimilate. Assimilate is from the latin word for ‘to make similiar.’ When we eat or consume something, that substance is making us literally who we will be tomorrow. You’ve probably heard it said’ “you are what you eat.” Our food choices reflect our state of harmony with ourselves, our world and all of creation. Every food choice, or consumption choice, we make has an impact on the planet and on our communities. Viewing nutrition this way is part of a core understanding of what it means to live in an integrated, harmonious and peaceful life on this planet.

Affirm: I am healing myself more with each breath.  I make food choices that nourish my mind, body and soul.
