We often think of food as fuel for our bodies. In modern diet culture, food is often discussed in terms of calories deposited and expended, treating the body like a bank account. But there is so much more to food preparation and eating that we miss as part of our fast-food culture. Food carries so much more than its nutritional value. Which raise the question how does food become a medicine?
Food is energy
“Concerning matters, we have all been wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. It doesn’t matter.”
~ Albert Einstein
Like any other substance in the universe, food is a vibration that reveals information to your body. In the cauliflower that you eat, you may find the energy of the farmer who grew it or the cook who prepared it. It is touched by the sun, wind, and the mood of the person who stacked the grocery store’s vegetable shelves.
The heart of the house
In many households today, the TV has replaced the hearth, and meals are often delivered or picked up on the way home from work. Considering food as energy infused with information, what do we lose when entrusting a stranger with our meals?
Emotional eating
Food has the power to transform your life not just in the simple way of eating healthy food but also in a much subtle way that is more connected to your mood and emotional state.
“Nothing is Permanent Except Change”
~ The Buddha
The word emotion comes from “motion” or movement. All emotions are energy and, as such, have vibrational frequencies that evolve and transform constantly. Every cell in your body resonates with the life force, influenced not only by your emotions but also by the emotions of those around you—people, plants, and animals.
The vibrational frequency of love is 528Hz, joy 540 Hz, and anger 150 Hz.
The secret ingredient
Now, let’s delve into the hidden element of home-cooked meals.
With the right intention, home-cooked meals possess the remarkable ability to transmute frustration and anger into peace and joy.
Could it be that many of us struggle with weight gain because the food we consume fails to satisfy not only our physical needs but also our emotional ones?
As an herbalist, I’ve learned that changing your mindset is crucial for any lifestyle change. Shifting your mindset alters your vibrational frequency, and your body adapts. Attempting to change your body, such as losing weight, without addressing your mindset may lead to a struggle against your own body.
Fighting your body is always a lost fight.
