Chakra Healing with Food

Chakra Healing with Food

When your chakras are out of balance or blocked, certain foods can help you to support your chakras to bring them to health.

Food can help you heal your chakras. Food has specific vibrations according to its colour and the way it grows. These two qualities relate to the properties of the chakras. By eating food with similar colours or properties than the chakras, you can give your body that same vibration of energy to heal and support your chakras. 

Chakra healing with food is a journey you need to embrace to bring long term balance to your mental and physical health. You can make eating fun and colourful.

Your body needs a variety of food to work at its best. When your body is healthy, your mind can expand, your emotions will be calmer, and you will be less reactive. You will create the space in your mind and body to be your true self.


Food Energy for Chakra Healing

Everything around has a unique vibration, including you and the food you eat. Food has three types of energy, also known as Prana, positive energy, negative energy and zero energy.

A positive energy food or positive pranic food is the one that gives you the energy to live. This food nourishes your body and mind.

Fresh fruit and vegetables have the highest amount of energy. When these fruit and vegetables are grown organically, free of chemicals and pesticides, they have a high vibration of energy that can nourish your body. 

A negative energy food or negative pranic food is the one that takes energy from you. This type of food is generally processed; it requires a lot of energy to be absorbed and provides a minimum amount of nutrients. 

A zero-energy food or neutral pranic food is the one that doesn’t take, nor give you energy. There are only a couple of foods with this quality: potatoes and tomatoes. The fact that they have zero energy doesn’t mean you can eat lots of them. If you overeat them, you will become sluggish.

Your stomach digests the food and sends the energy wherever is needed in your body, or it stores that energy if your body doesn’t need it at the time.

The energy of food gets transformed by your digestive system. The more variety of nutrients you give to your body, the easier it is for your body to keep it in balance. 


Food for Chakra Healing

Food can help you to support, balance, and heal one or all of your chakras. When your chakras are in harmony, you can enjoy good health of body and mind.

When your chakras are balanced, and your body is nourished, your energy field is shining bright—things in your life flow with ease. The energy you project is pleasant, and people want to be around you. Your relationships improve, and you have mental clarity and alertness. You are aware of your emotions and have the opportunity to act on them or not. 

Food has vibrations according to the way it grows and the colour it has. 

These two qualities relate to the properties of the chakras. By eating food with similar colours or properties to those of the chakras, you can give your body that same vibration of energy to heal and support your chakras.

By eating food that energises and balances your chakras, you can have better health. The colour of the chakras is like a rainbow. The colour of the rainbow is the first guidance you have when eating food for healing your chakras.
