Kundalini Splendor

During the time of your Kundalini awakening process, your body--and especially your nervous system--is undergoing major changes. It will need all the support it can get as it adjusts to the new energies coming in. One of the areas you can utilize to aid in this process is by following a more careful diet, one that will enhance the function of your entire system

Last night I watched a very interesting program on PBS from Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a board certified physician who specializes in nutritional medicine. The information he presented was not necessarily new, but it reaffirmed some of the basics that we all need to review from time to time.

Essentially, his message was similar to what most of us already know--the road to health consists of eating more fruits and vegetables, less meat and carbohydrates. His view is that by improving our diets and thus our health, we will automatically loe weight until we reach the most desirable reading for us.

Dr. Fuhrman made a clear and convincing presentation explaining why a raw fruit/vegetable diet is a superior one. Certain ones of these in particular contain micronutrients not found in the macronutrient/high calorie foods most of us rely on. In particular he recommended the following (using the acronym "gombs":

g---greens--most important--"let the salad be the most important part of the meal"

o---onions---very high in micronutrients

m--mushrooms--a kind of "miracle food''--the top of his list

b---berries

s---seeds and nuts---put some in your salad for best results

He also praised beans and flax, and said to eat meat only once or twice a week

Cut out salt, sugar, dairy, and all processed foods

Some critics dispute his contentions as to the relation of this kind of diet and health and longevity, but many of his patients have lost huge amounts of weight and also have been cured of serious diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. He says that when one follows this regimen, one no longer feels hungry and thus the diet is much easier to stick with than other forms of diet.

Some people undergoing Kundalini awakening feel they need a heavier diet to "ground" them. Each person is different and has individual needs. You much always find what is right for you and act accordingly.

Fuhrman's website is http://www.drfuhrman.com The section called "library" has some very interesting articles.
His books are available through Amazon.
