Has anyone experienced any food intolerance or aversions ,the further along you go down your spiritual path?
This is an area I have focused on a lot for about eight years — monitoring what my body requires, but also learning more about diet and spirituality as I go.
I've been a vegetarian (which means no meat including seafood and CHICKEN, as some people think you still eat chicken...) for over 8 years. A few months back I stopped having dairy, and I felt that also helped me a great deal.
I feel my body can't do with wheat anymore, but I am yet to cut it out fully just yet.
I still eat eggs, as long as they are free range and organic. I do feel that eggs which are not grass fed, or organic, are not good for me.
Sugar has been my most recent focus, so trying not to have any at all, but I am aware it's in some of the foods I sometimes get.
The reason I become a vegetarian was based on some research I did. Back then I had just fallen onto my spiritual path (2008-2009). The rainbow diet is something I respect a lot; I read a book back then dedicated to the topic. My understanding showed me that the energy signature, really the spirit and consciousness, of more sentient beings such as animals, reside in the meat, including their emotions, so by consuming it you are taking on a part of them.
Basically, my conclusion back then, and I'm talking logically, not intuitively, was that meat generally caused your energy field — which is made up of the subtle bodies / auric layers, many energy centers closer to the physical body including the chakras, and the central energy lines — take on a range of energies that belonged to the animal you consumed. This was not at all good for your energy field for a range of reasons.
Studies have shown that people who eat red meat can generally become more aggressive over time, and I have seen this happen to people I know who have gone from being vegetarian to meat eating again. Research has been done in prisons where they took out meat from the diet, and suddenly there was a major drop in violence for inmates.
The point is, we know it’s a high possibility that eating meat can impact our emotions, but then what else can it do?
I also concluded back then that it lowers our immunity to a degree, but there are many things we can do in life to keep our immunity strong, so this wasn’t a huge factor. It was really more about the spiritual side for me, because of what it did to our energy. I became a vegetarian to help me with astral projection, as that was my passion. It did help I found, and helped me become much more focused in meditation. My health improved dramatically. I stopped getting sick for many years.
One could argue that plants can sense and feel, which they can, but you have to think about their stage in evolution in terms of how conscious they are, the situations they are in, what they take on, as in on a mental and emotional level, and so on. Usually a plant isn’t having such a range of experiences as an animal or person, as they are in a fixed position only going through the experiences that come to them.
As I went further along my path my intuitive side began to kick in and I started listening to my body more and more. A lot of what I had researched was feeling very accurate to me, but I began to pick up on more things that were going on based on my diet.
The way I look at this is that we are all unique. We all go through stages where we have to adjust our diet. For some people, meat is fine because they are at a level that requires it. For others, they need to stop eating it based on where they are at. The same goes for everything else.
There are exceptions here though, when you have a health condition that shows you need to stop consuming something, that’s really quite different to the stages I am referring to. So we could be lactose intolerant for example, but that may have nothing to do with where we are at on a vibrational and spiritual level.
As another example here, I think the blood type diet is very helpful, but, once you reach a certain stage in terms of your frequency and vibration, which is connected into your spirituality in different ways, then you will end up adjusting your diet otherwise your body will suffer in different ways, and this means stepping away from the guidelines of a blood type diet.
From a health perspective, if a person has cancer, or another major condition, it’s been proven that from changing to a vegan diet dramatically improves their health and immunity, and helps them heal. But a person will need to address the emotional connection to the condition as well, alongside that. That doesn’t mean they should keep on with the vegan diet forever, just until they have improved their health to a certain stage and overcome their condition. From then, they can begin adjusting their diet to be healthier, which may mean they still eat meat, but they are being more mindful of organic food, having less sugar, and so on.
So in conclusion we are all very different and are on different levels. There should never be any judgement around what a person decides to consume. It’s a complicated situation for some, as there are other things to consider, so it’s not always straightforward.
Recently I have been drawn back to seafood. I had a holographic balancing scan — which for those that are not familiar with the two groups I have run through transients, this software taps into your energy field and provides information about your state of being, including your health — and it has shown I need to take Omega 3. I have the choice to start eating seafood, or to take Omega 3, which could be fish oil based or algae based.
I personally don’t feel seafood is going to be a big issue for me, but I am very wary of where it comes from. I’m concerned with the radiation levels in the water, but also the levels of mercury. I am extra sensitive to radiation so I seem to have it impact me more than a lot of others. I recently came across an article talking about studies showing a dramatic increase in ocean mercury levels. So just from a basic health perspective, seafood is something I am just unsure of returning to, but it is certainly the healthiest flesh or meat you can eat from an energetic perspective.
I have ran into some tasty dairy free dark chocolate!
whether it is overcooked (usually when I went to do something else while dinner cooked
(some good fats are vital -I'll just eat more bliss balls!)
