I just returned from a trip from Colorado to Michigan. My flights took me through several airports in the Midwestern United States where I spent a few hours in between flights. Having a raw vegan diet, I know it is best to take food with me when I travel. I am also aware of the spiritual benefits that are derived from eating food that is sanctified by my own vibration, and not unconsciously prepared.

The vast majority of my fellow travelers in these middle-American airports appeared to be shockingly unhealthy. They were overweight and sick in a variety of ways; their bodies reflected the burdens of a toxic, world, overloaded with despair, separation and fear. I realized they were likely unaware of the subtle cultural and political forces that had beckoned them away from a natural, healthy life; exploiting their conditioned tendency to respond to everything but the eternal self.

Busy lives require a fully energized body and mind. What we eat can dramatically affect energy levels throughout the day. Here are ten foods you can eat to increase your energy.

1. Spirulina - Packed with 67% protein, Spirulina is a powerful energizer. It’s dark green color reveals the depth of its nutritional gifts. Spirulina increases energy and decreases appetite, making it a perfect food for weight management, detoxification and increased vitality. Mask its strong flavor by blending with fruit juice or smoothies.

2. Raw fruits and vegetables - Cooking these life-giving plants depletes their enzymes, units of life-force energy that sustain and renew the body. For better health, more mental clarity and an abundance of energy, eat a variety of raw fruits and vegetables every day.

3. Maca root - This plant from Peru has been used since ancient times to give vitality and long life. Maca helps the body adapt to stress and supports healthy hormone levels. Maca root powder can be added to smoothies and a variety of raw food recipes to deeply nourish and restore the body and the mind. (more…)

An excerpt from Living Light: The 21 Day Alchemical Regeneration Plan by Chavah Aima

I will show you the power of the Sacred Light. The Book of Purifying Fire

Alchemy is an ancient discipline of transformation that has much in common with the yoga philosophies of the East. These spiritual paths deal with the Life Force energy in its cosmic and personal forms. On the personal level the Life Force energy is responsible for the health of the physical body. When the Life Force leaves the body the result is death. When it is reduced or constricted, disease and illnesses set in. Consequently, in the beginning stages of alchemy the focus is on increasing this energy in order to clear obstructions from the body and heal physical imbalances. (more…)

Phase One: 3 Day Juice Fast

Over the course of one to two weeks, gradually reduce the amount of cooked food you eat each day. You may begin by eating only a large raw salad at midday or evening. Next, replace your morning meal with all fruit, followed by the addition of raw vegetables for the remaining meal. You may also drink fresh organic juices.

When you have eaten raw food solely for three days, substitute a glass of freshly juiced organic vegetable juice for the midday salad. The next day, have fruit juice in the morning, drink vegetable juice at midday, and have the raw salad at night. You can also eat a little raw fruit or vegetables between meal times if you feel the need. Finally, replace the evening salad with another glass of freshly juiced vegetable juice.

At this point, you can take three to five glasses of juice daily. It is recommended that the majority of juice be vegetable, with smaller amounts of fruit juice being taken in the morning. Don’t forget to continue drinking pure living water too! You may also drink organic herbal teas. Meditate as much as possible – this is important every day, but especially during any type of fasting.

When you have taken only juices for three days, you may return to a combination of juice and raw foods. If you choose to add cooked food to your diet, make at least 50% of your diet raw, living food. From this time on, choose one day a week as a juice fast day. (more…)
