“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”
—Hippocrates
All matter is a condensation of energy, as the great physicist Albert Einstein has shown us. Food matter is a beautiful example of how energy can condense and organize into a living structure. The energetic pattern of food is composed of elements from the earth, sun, air, water and ether. These elements come together in a unique way that gives food its particular vibrational state. The wisdom inherent in the cosmos fashioned food into energetic matrixes that sustain all forms of life.
Human experimentation with different foods throughout time has shown that certain foods can have profound healing effects. The vibrational energies in food can be consumed into our being and transform us. We literally are what we eat, if we think of eating as the process of taking in materials from the universe, such as through eating, breathing, drinking, and sun bathing. When we speak of vibrational healing with living food, what is implied is that we are being healed by the energy of food that retains its original vibrational makeup. Foods that have this original makeup are those like freshly picked fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs. If eaten in their living state (uncooked), these foods transmit a powerful vibrational force that interacts with our own vibrational field. In this way living foods have the potential to enliven our being and help restructure it in a way that is more in vibrational harmony.
Diseases
from the large to the small have been cured through consuming living food.
Even so called “incurable diseases” have been fully reversed
from the power of the vibrational force in living foods. Many other healing
modalities have been proven to cure “incurable diseases” as
well. Therefore, I invite us all to give up the notion of “incurable
diseases.”
There are many modern scientists and spiritualists who are working to deeply
understand how this living vibrational force is actually healing us. Many
living food advocates share the theory that the enzymes in living food,
which are often equated with its life-force or vibrational energy, literally
give more life force to each cell. This allows the cells to perform their
functions easier. Often cells can’t even perform all their normal
functions, such as the process of detoxification, because their energy has
been depleted by unhealthy life-style habits. Also, energy is often being
overly expended toward other functions such as digestion. Living food advocates
claim that the enzymes in living food not only help with digestion, but
release their potent energy into the cells to reenergize them. This gives
the body more vibrational energy to work with and allows it to perform any
healing that needs to take place.
This is the physical aspect of vibrational healing with living foods. There is another profound domain that living food works on too, which is the spiritual. Many living food practitioners such as Gabriel Cousens M.D. have shared that the vibrational force in live foods enhances and clears the energetic pathways of the body. In particular Dr. Cousens found that his kundalini was greatly assisted in awakening through eating living food. He says in his book Spiritual Nutrition (2005) that the light (vibration) in living foods resonates with the inner (spiritual) light and helps it to open and expand into all levels of being. Although he says you can’t eat your way to the Divine, he says that living food can certainly be a helpful tool.
Vibrational healing with living food is an exciting and cutting edge practice. Research all over the world is presently being conducted to deepen our knowledge of living foods’ healing powers. One of the most intriguing aspects of living foods to me is that while there is obviously a very mystical side to it with people’s experiences of its ability to transfer healing vibrations and assist in spiritual awakening, there is also a very grounded, practical and natural aspect to it, which is simply eating food as it has been presented to us by the earth. Eating an apple from a tree is simple and instinctual and yet within each bite of a living apple resides healing vibrations of the universe. Within each apple are not just vitamins and minerals, but vibrations of the earth, the sun, water, air, ether and of a mysterious light that is within all things.
