The Spiritual Benefits of Raw Food
My intention when making the decision to explore a Raw Food lifestyle did not include having deep spiritual revelations, but that is exactly what happened. I chose to make the shift towards eating most or all Raw Living foods because I was in pain and was desperate for relief. My partner shared with me his positive experiences from eating a diet that consisted of foods that are unprocessed and uncooked. I was curious as to how that may benefit me and impact my overall state of health.
At the age of 47 I began to experience the effects of a life of disassociation from my body’s signals including my hunger signals that are supposed to tell me when I am full. In addition, years of substance use in the form of drugs, alcohol pharmaceutical antidepressants had begun to produce negative consequences in my life. I had unconsciously used substances to “have fun” and “get high” in order to numb myself from the life challenges. I rarely thought about the long term effects of my daily habits, including my food habits on my body. It wasn’t until I was quickly nearing age 50 when my body began to really speak to me in ways that I could not deny any longer through really painful symptoms. The symptoms that I was experiencing affected all aspects of my life including my relationships, work and ability to experience Joy. My main symptoms included inflammation, acne, fatigue, headaches, brain fog, joint pain, irregular menstrual cycles and severe indigestion. I would frequently experience intense gut pain after eating, especially later in the day.
As soon as I began to shift in my diet I noticed positive benefits. My skin quality improved and my acne disappeared. My energy increased and my mental clarity improved. The physical benefits were not the only ones that I began to experience. In addition I began to have very vivid prophetic visions about my future and deep subconscious awareness arose through my dreams. During my waking life I noticed that I was able to read people’s emotions and intentions better. I even began to sense what someone was about to say and make connections between what I was seeing and feeling. My overall sense of intuition rose dramatically. This benefit increased even more so when I started juicing and fasting for extended periods of time. My psychic abilities increased and I began to “know” things about people without them telling me first. This has been extremely helpful to me in my life and is a very fascinating benefit that I did not expect from shifting my food choices!
I have heard from others that live a Raw Food lifestyle and they report similar spiritual benefits from shifting the ways in which they consume nourishment. Overall this is a fascinating aspect of eating Raw Food and I believe will ultimately allow us to shift into extra sensory abilities that we don’t even yet know about.
