Diet and Kundalini.
I'm not going to lay down any strict rules about diet, because I think it
is different for individuals. Instead I'm going to offer you some
approximate guidelines, and teach you how to listen to your own body and
give it what it wants.
Dietary needs and food tolerances change as K. progresses. Some people
discover they can no longer eat meat, others who have been vegetarian for
years find they need to eat meat to stay grounded. Some find they can no
longer tolerate coffee or chocolate, or that they get cravings for foods
that never interested them before.
The spiritual changes of K. manifest physically, the Karmic cleansing my be
mirrored by a physical cleansing, a kind of "spiritual flu" as Goddess uses
your immune responses to clear toxins out of your body and evolve your
physical systems. Particularly your nervous system and the gastrointestinal
system are cleansed and completely rebuilt. You may get short term
allergies or find that some foods need to be deleted from your diet
permanently.
Your body knows what it needs, and what is not good for it. The body is
wise. I will teach you how to listen to your body.
DISCLAIMER: My advice is not meant to be a replacement for competent
medical care. I would encourage you to consider visiting a naturopath to
check the condition of your health and toxicity.
Sensitivity Testing.
There are many kinds of allergy tests available. Most of them involve
introducing the suspected allergen into the body's systems in some way, as
with a scratch test. There is also kinesiology testing, which checks the
body's strength when exposed to a suspected allergen, and vega-testing,
which checks the strength of the body's energy field when in proximity to
the allergen.
Your body has a built in allergy testing system that is easy to learn to
read. Your body does not need to consume a food to know how it will react
to that food. It will react if the allergen is within your energy field,
your aura. It is those reactions you read, to do this testing method.
I will explain how it works, then go into your kitchen or grocery and test
it for yourself. If you do it in a store I suggest you choose one that is
open late at night so you don't have folks staring at you breaking your
concentration.
First, as always, get grounded. When you are grounded, do an inner check on
your body to use as baseline. Notice any aches or pains, or strange
sensations. Particularly pay attention to the feel of your head, your gut
and heart.
When you have a good sense of how you are feeling, go into your Kitchen and
pick up any food object and hold it to your solar plexus. This puts it next
to a very sensitive part of your energy field. Your power chakra will
"read" the food and your body will have subtle reactions. Hold the
intention that you are examining the food and not the container, otherwise
a plastic allergy could give confusing results.
Pay attention to what you feel. The first sensation is the heart/gut yes or
no. That will be followed by other sensations to give you more information.
Does your body feel energized by the food or fatigued? If it feels
energized, is it a "nice" feeling or does it feel shaky like adrenaline or
stress?
How does your head feel?
Does the food make you feel dizzy or flushed?
Does it give you a twinge of headache? (white sugar does that to me.)
Does it make your head feel clearer?
How does your gut feel?
Does it feel good or does it feel heavy or acidic?
Does having the food near your solar plexus make your liver ache?
Your kidneys?
Your bowel or bladder?
Set the first food down out of your field, take a breath and put another
food to your solar plexus. Feel your body reacting. Do this with a number
of foods so you can compare how the different foods affect you. The
physical reactions will be subtle, not like a full blown allergy attack,
but your body will be very co-operative in showing you it's preferences if
you are paying attention.
Ask for additional information. If you are holding fresh fruit or herbs,
see if you can feel the pesticide content, the fertilizer. When you get
good at this, you will be able to detect pesticide on a banana at 10 paces.
You may also find that you get a different reaction in different seasons
and to the same food imported from different countries. Seasonal and local
is best.
When you get a good sense of how you react to food, move into your bathroom
and similarly find out what your body thinks of your soaps and
deodorants. When you are done testing, tell your body thank you and have
an intention of being complete with the exercise for the time being, so
your body does not continue to react to your environment.
Supplements.
I recommend a few important supplements for Kundalites. The process of
growing your body into a temple takes some feeding. Your nervous system is
made of fat: essential fatty acids like Vitamin E. The actions of your
nervous system are regulated by minerals and calcium. Proper feeding of
your nervous system can take a lot of the bumpiness out of K. The best
source of essential oils to feed your new nervous system is flax seed oil.
Flax seed oil promotes electrical conductivity in the body, which is
reduced by the north American diet of overheated oils and margarine. It is
a very electrically active and volatile oil, best fresh and raw. Flax seed
oil capsules are easy to find in any health food store, and not so
expensive. The oil is harder to find in bottles, but most organic food
stores carry it.
I have an excellent book., which I've lent to my neighbor: "Flax Oil As a
True Aid Against Arthritis Heart Infarction Cancer and Other Diseases."
It's by a German Doctor/Researcher, Dr. Johanna Budwig who was on the board
of health in Germany in the 50's that debated whether to allow artificially
hardened fats, and oils that had been preserved by heating onto grocery
shelves. Her vote: No! They passed anyway and that is why we have margarine
and Crisco.
Her research is pretty interesting: rats fed margarine or peanut butter
with oil added became sterile...she found that these fats cannot be
processed by the body, and so they are stored, as a coating around the
cells which reduces the electrical conductivity of the cells, so they get
mixed messages from the nerves.
Cellulite, is hard to get rid of because it is a storage place for these
toxic fats, which the body cannot release until some cleansing has taken
place.
Flax seed oil can fasten onto these fats and change their composition, so
the body can process them. Since K-fire travels your nervous system, it is
important to clean it up!
It is also a powerful antioxidant. Pack-a-day rats fed flax seed oil didn't
get lung cancer. Students given Flax seed oil didn't catch colds or
viruses. She was taking terminal cancer patients out of hospitals, and
effecting remarkable cures feeding fresh flax seed oil mixed with quark
cheese or cottage cheese.
Makes a very nice butter substitute. The oil binds to the calcium in the
cheese, and so both are made more effective. Tastier, too. Mix with
balsamic vinegar, herbs and a touch of maple syrup for a nutty salad
dressing. Calcium is also an essential supplement for Kundalites..
regulates moods.
WARNING! *****Do not cook with it!*****
Boiled flax seed oil is linseed oil which is a toxic substance used in
making paint and varnish. Poison.
Unless processed into capsules, the oil must be kept refrigerated. Some
folks assure freshness by grinding a few oz. of flax seed in the coffee
grinder and sprinkling it on salads and cold cereal.
The only oil which is higher than Flax in essential fatty acids, is hemp
seed. Cannabis seeds. The most perfect food for humans.
I'd also suggest a natural mineral supplement, such as kelp. Many
Kundalites sweat out a lot of toxins, and the minerals such as potassium
must be replaced. Some folks like blue-green algae, others find it too
toxic. I also sometimes use an organic vegetable broth.
A simple way to add minerals to your diet is to switch to demerra sugar
instead of using white sugar. Demerra sugar is very dark and smells of
molasses, it contains a much higher pottassium and mineral content than
more processed sugars. Do the sensitivity test with demerra sugar and white
sugar, you will feel the difference.
PMS tip for women: A spoonful of molasses will give you what your body is
craving when it wants chocolate. The other day I woke up dreaming of
chocolate so I made some molasses cookies that were mostly molasses,
cinnamon, raisins and oatmeal. Did the trick.
Also, replace your iodized salt with sea salt and consider switching from
coffee to a good brand of tea, such as Twinnings. Expensive tea tends to
have less pesticide than cheap tea. Use the sensitivity test to choose one
your body likes.
Some pesticides mimic hormones in the body so it is best to avoid them as
much as possible. K. tends to increase estrogen levels as it does it's work
so adding synthetic hormones via pesticides to your body could cause
imbalance.
Water
I cannot stress enough the importance of drinking plenty of water! There
are several reasons for this, the first being that you need it to detoxify.
When you are clearing your karma, you might often find you get muscle
twitches and feel a need to stretch periodically, you might even find
yourself spontaneously doing yoga. We call these affects "Kriyas" and they
can take many forms, including spontaneous laughter or chanting. This is
part of the mind-body connection.
The emotional baggage of Karma is often held as tightness in the muscles in
the body near the place where the memory is held in the nervous system.
When the emotional memory is surrendered, the muscle twitches as it comes
back into balance, and the tight spot relaxes releasing some lactic acid.
This is the same acid as makes your body feel stiff a day after heavy
exercise. If you drink lots of water before and after your meditations then
the water can wash the lactic acid from your system, before it can
re-crystallize at another location.
Water is very important to maintain your body's electrical conductivity.
K-fire does not move as smoothly in a dehydrated body. I find if I am doing
any kind of healing or energy work, I need to consume a lot of water. I
call it "hydro-electric" because it really seems like my body is
transmuting water into energy.
Blessing your food!
One thing that is almost universal to all religions is the idea of offering
thanks for food before eating it. It is a universal concept because it has
powerful effects. When you bless your food or offer thanks for it, it
changes the energy vibration of the food to make it more compatible with
your body. It also seems to change the food itself, I have tasted stale
watermelon freshening to sweetness in my mouth as I bless it, tasted water
becoming more sweet, the more I have charged it with energy. Food that has
been blessed digests more easily, feels lighter in your stomach and tastes
better! It has already become a part of you, before you eat it.
The blessing can be simple or complex. With water, I hold the bottle in my
hand and imagine it filling with light as I say "Thank you Goddess for this
water and for the thirst that makes it taste good." With food I can simply
say "Goddess Blessings on this food", or I'll do a more complex version of
thanking the Earth and the farmers and the animals, everyone and everything
that contributed to putting food on my plate.
My cooking tends to be very simple, but I am known as a very good cook
simply because I always bless food and give thanks for it while I'm
cooking, and my gratitude goes into the food to make it more tasty and
nourishing. Try it yourself!
Medicinals
For sore throats, wounds, etc. I use bee propolis, tree resin harvested by
bees, and used to make the hive a sterile environment. Hippocrates
prescribed it for ulcers.. it is anti viral, antibacterial, and hostile to
most fungi. It has an amazing healing effect on the respiratory system, and
is possibly a cure for the common cold. Clears sinus problems and sore
throat in minutes. If I am going to be doing a lot of singing I stick a
piece on the roof of my mouth to dissolve slowly.
Propolis is the reason beekeepers live so long... they tend to eat the
messy honey that is full of honeycomb, and end up eating lots of propolis.
I get it from a friend who is a beekeeper. He uses bee stings to medicate
his arthritis...
I dissolve it in alcohol and use it on cuts and scrapes. The alcohol
evaporates and leaves an antibacterial "skin" of tree sap over the wound,
which prevents infection and heals at lightspeed.. I think in this age of
antibiotic -proof bacteria, we will see a resurgence of popularity for
propolis.
Some folks are allergic, tho...especially those with bee or tree allergies.
Some folks find that the cleansing process and energy movements of K.
sometimes result in itchy rashes, and while flax seed oils helps to prevent
those, it is sometimes nice to have a topical solution. I use Nizoral
Dandruff shampoo as a body-scrub to kill the fungus that causes the rash.
On the back of the box it says:
SCIENTISTS HAVE RECENTLY confirmed that dandruff and associated dry scalp
can be caused by a microscopic fungus. This fungus occurs naturally on
everyone's skin. It is called pityrosporum ovale (pronounced
pity-row-spore-um oh-valley) Given the right conditions (periods of stress,
changes in diet or climate), the fungus can cause a mild infection at the
roots of the hair. Often, the result was an unpleasant flaking and itching.
Nizoral* doesn't use tars."
I suspect that most folks K. itches, are from the fungus getting overgrown.
Guess it likes K-fire. Perhaps it likes the detoxifying sweat..
Thank you, Goddess for clever scientists..
On the upside, tho, once K. really has cleansed your body, you will find
your need to bathe to smell good decreases. Some spiritual experiences are
accompanied with the scent of roses and sandalwood.
I used to make my slaves sort my laundry by smelling my clothes to see if
they were clean. It didn't work very well because my slaves thought my
dirty clothes smelled better than my clean ones.. I'd come in to find them
with their faces buried in my dirty laundry, getting intoxicated from the
sandalwood and old roses energy and pheromone cocktail lingering on my clothes.
