The invitation for this week’s Unmanic Monday, is to unmanic your mouth (and eyes, and ears, and … you get where I am going)!
Do you eat for your body, practice food as medicine and support, or just eat according to what is available?
There are seven main Chakras or energy centers in our body, each being associated with a different color.
Ideally, we want our energy to be flowing freely through all the chakras or energy centers.
I invite you to observe the food you are putting into your body this week, and eat according to what your body is really craving.
First, identify the need, second, call on the food for help! Locate your need here in this moment, and what chakra center it is linked to:
More grounding, security, safety, abundance, money, adrenal support = ROOT.
More creativity, intimacy, clear feeling, intuition, patience, support with hips = SACRAL.
More self-esteem, courage, will power, inner knowing support, standing in the I AM, digestive support= SOLAR PLEXUS.
More connection, empathy, servitidue, self healing, relationship focus, breathing issues = HEART.
More self expression, spirit information, practicing faith, receiving spirit information, neck and shoulder tension, thyroid support = THROAT.
More outer perception, awareness, dream support, self-awareness, all seeing, brain support = THIRD EYE.
More hope, letting go of the old, higher consciousness, moving through ego, nervous system and brain support = CROWN CHAKRA.
Next, choose a food to include today and this week (you can come back to this as much as you would like). Always eat with intention:
ROOT = Cherries, red plums, watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes, red onion, red cabbage, red peppers, beets.
SACRAL = Peaches, papaya, oranges, apricots, mangos, carrots, orange peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkin.
SOLAR PLEXUS = Bananas, pineapples, lemons, yellow squash, yellow peppers, gold potatoes.
HEART = Arugula, avocado, honeydew melon, kiwi, green grapes, celery, cabbage, all green leafy veggies, cucumbers, asparagus, sprouts.
THROAT = While you can try something like blueberries, there are no foods in their natural state that vibrate to the frequency of a sky blue color. Foods with dark blue and purple pigments affect the third eye and crown vs. the throat. So what to do?? Drink water and hydrate! Clear fluids bring clear messaging!
THIRD EYE = Blueberries, blackberries, figs, plums, purple cabbage, purple potatoes, eggplant, prunes.
CROWN = The purple foods associated with the third eye above will help, and for this chakra - practice last weeks tip! Meditation!!
If you try this, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Eating according to chakra support is something I love to do, and include in all of my events!
Spend some time with me at Spirit Led - my upcoming retreat in Sedona. You FEEL the difference of how eating according to your chakras changes the game!
With love and gratitude,
Alara
