Super Foods

'Organic, raw and super foods are the manna that help charge our light energy the most.  Eating the colours of the rainbow helps to feed our chakras rather than our stomachs and greed.  We don’t need to eat a lot, just need to eat wisely and fuel our bodies properly.  We wouldn’t dream of putting diesel into our unleaded cars or vice versa because we are aware of the consequences – yet we are encouraged to save our money or ‘indulge’ ourselves or our wallets to fuel the most precious engines we will ever own in this life-time with substandard, dead energy foods.
 
We truly ARE what we eat.
 
If we keep it organic, local, seasonal, fully charged, pure, and fresh we are not only soothed and nourished but our hearts become lifted and free us to step onto the path of right brained genius-like co-creation.Locally grown foods vibrate with the energy of the area we live in and help our energy to charge at the optimum and vibrate in tune.
Man-made plastic has no chance of resonating light and harmonious vibration, but hand crafted pure crystal can sing with pure vibrations and reflects pure light into rainbows.

 
When we exist on reheated, tinned, junk or over ripe and processed foods, and live lives tainted with negative energy states, we become like a plastic version of our true selves.  We starve our own lives and wisdom and become mutants higher selves, degenerating quickly and losing any chance of attaining our true powers.'  Excerpt from 'Light'
