When I first started writing these articles about conscious eating, I asked for guidance about where to begin. After all, there is a vast array of information available.

Imagine my surprise when Spirit said, “Eat Light.”

Eat Light. Information from our soul can be quite literal. Eat Light, as in vital life energy. The closest foods that fit this definition, of course, are fresh, living foods, the closer to nature the better. You only have to harvest from your own garden to appreciate the living vibration that comes from the plant itself. We have been privileged to visually experience the light that radiates from fresh, live food through Kirlian photography.

You might contemplate on this subject in your meditations. Eat Light. When we eat fresh living food, we literally eat the light of the Sun. Notice, that Spirit did not get bogged down with the more physical aspects of diet choices. Spirit did not give me a big, long list of nutrients that must be included, or negative things to exclude. Spirit went right to the heart of the matter. Eat Light. We are, after all, made of Light.

Now, there are many ways to add Light to the body. We can practice certain meditations specifically focused on adding light. We can practice qigong; we can use Young Living essential oils, which have light energy in them; we can practice certain types of yoga and breathing exercises; and we can eat as much fresh raw fruits and vegetables as we can, including fresh juices.

During this time of monumental change, our bodies are literally becoming less dense as we prepare for the Shift. Everything we can do to assist this process makes our own transformation easier.

The second message I kept receiving was, “Eat clean food.” Well, of course, we aren’t going to eat dirty food, except for maybe Cajun Dirty Rice! I would naturally assume that this means to eat as organic as possible, staying away from pesticides, and all of the other toxic chemicals that are so prevalent now on our planet. However, as I contemplated on this message, I began to see a deeper meaning. I began to realize clean food is food that is clean in the body. Once again, we are led to fresh, raw, foods with high water content. The physical body, in good health and youthfulness, is over 70% water. We know to stay hydrated. Hydration is important to our well being. Fresh, living fruits and vegetables have the best water for us!

These are beautiful messages; and so simple and easy to follow. In this simplicity, however, is profound wisdom and guidance.

Let us shift direction and look at another way the soul provides messages. We can easily see from the above information what provides the body with the foundational foods for good health.

When we have something happen that causes a physical imbalance, it is a good bet our soul consciousness is trying to get our attention. If you are normally in good health and something happens that isn’t related to an accident, my first recommendation is to look at your food choices. Have you added or inadvertently deleted something from your diet?

Here is an example. A couple of years ago I woke up on the first of January raring to go exercise and get started on those New Year’s resolutions. As I hopped out of bed, I looked down to see that my knee was the size of a grapefruit. It didn’t hurt, per se, but as I tried to do extended walking, it would start to ache. I started using my natural remedies, sure I would be fine very soon. While this helped the immediate pain, I wasn’t solving the problem.

Two weeks later, finally, I sat down and started taking my own advice! I looked at my diet to see what was different. After a bit of analysis, I realized I had accidentally increased my omega 6 fatty acids and practically eliminated my omega 3 fatty acids. I immediately set about correcting this and within two days, my knee was healed.

Our food choices are foundational to the physical body. This is why we start there. Many, many solutions are found here. If this does not provide a solution, then we move to the next level, which includes the emotional components and our mental, and/or belief systems.

Our soul uses problems in the physical body and also our emotional states to get our attention and to tell us when we are off track. We, as individuals, have each set up our own system of internal communication. We have individually designed a system whereby our soul lets us know whether we are accomplishing our goals and growth for this lifetime, or whether we have taken a detour or, perhaps are stuck in a rut and not advancing in our purpose.

It is fairly simple to ask and receive information from the body itself and also to communicate with our own soul. There is a lovely book, “Soul Speak” by Julia Cannon that I really like and recommend for learning the process of communication and discovering what our issues are telling us, if you need such assistance. Julia has worked with her mother, Dolores Cannon, the well-known past life regression therapist, and her many hypnosis clients for many years and brings this expertise as well as her own guidance to the book.

I had the privilege to study with Dolores and know first hand how very simple healing can be if we but pay attention to the messages our souls are communicating. I was very saddened to hear that Dolores made her transition last October. She did amazing work during her lifetime with us and was a pioneer in the field of hypnosis and past life regression. Her many books will open your eyes to the many, many, different lives and expressions of conscious energy in the Universe.

Life is a joy to live and experience as we evolve in consciousness. Part of that evolution is our own development of our soul connection. As we learn to listen and create attunement with higher consciousness, life begins to mirror those states of light, expansion, harmony, beauty, and love.
