Chakra cleansing using food & diet
“Mom was right when she said eat your vegetables”, and now we know why!
As left-field as it may initially sound our unseen energy points – CHAKRAS – benefit from cleansing using the physical act of eating a variety of foods. Your body is the physical manifestation of what you consume. It may be a struggle to stop negative thoughts sounding your food choices, so let’s go for a body hack and change foods based on the rainbow. Why the rainbow? Because it has the same color spectrum as the chakras, and color has a specific frequency that helps to support the cleansing of that area of the body.
When you are feeling run down, low in confidence, overworked or defeated then reach for fruits and vegetables before sugar, caffeine, or processed foods. A top tip is to have the healthy food first, and then if you still need the less-healthy have it. After a day or two you will be amazed at how you become stronger and more determined in your desire for healthy foods. This is one way to raise your energetic vibration.
