Shifting to Better Eating

Those of us on the ascending path may not be surprised by the latest news about processed foods. Our bodies have been telling us about it for a while now. Headaches, body aches, stomach aches, low energy, constipation, diarrhea. Gradually (or suddenly) steering us toward a diet of eating lighter, preparing our meals from whole foods in their natural state with all the vitamins and minerals they were meant to have. Everyone’s body will have different requirements, but generally we are evolving toward a diet of less meat, more greens, some whole grains, fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables- all non-GMO and organic, and a little dairy which is fresh, organic, and non-homogenized. In essence, we are getting closer to our roots, which are deeply connected to the Earth.

We have a little half acre lot next door. It’s been vacant and weedy for over 20 years. It has tree stumps. It came up for sale shortly after we moved in 5 years ago, but more than I could afford. It came up for sale a couple more times, each time a little less but still too much. Last year, two lots on the other side of the road sold and I began to worry the lot next door would be next. I began to use what I knew of the Law of Attraction to bring the land under my care. When I walked my dogs past, I would say things like, “I am the steward of this land” and “this belongs to me, I am the caretaker of this land.” I envisioned making a perennial flower garden around the stumps and planting flowers in them. The land slopes downhill so I imagined using the land in a way that manages the water for our property and others. Last month, I had a vision in my sleep. It was a picture of a stump with a few high grasses around it. I had no clue what it meant. “Why am I seeing a stump?” I asked. Two days later I saw a for sale sign on the lot. I knew the realtor and just knew it was priced to sell and that it was going to go this time. It was and I put in a call that night saying that I wanted to make an offer. Two weeks later I became the steward of that land. There were moments things didn’t seem to be going smoothly and I wondered if I was doing the right thing, but then I remembered the picture of the stump and knew my Guides were reassuring me. They just know me so well, and give me the signs I need.

I’ve written several posts about using the Law of Attraction and this is one true life, recent example of how quickly one can manifest.

So how am I going to go forward with this surprising new project? Well, I’ve been reading up on contour gardening. Contour gardening is a way of planting with the contour of the land incorporating mini-swales next to garden beds that trap water so it can be utilized for the plants instead of running downhill and making a swampy mess. This system of terracing was used in ancient times by Aztec, Inca and Mayan tribes. My goal is to make use of the rainwater for berry bushes and will save my neighbors from too much runoff puddling their yards. In this way, I can produce more antioxidant rich food at home, organically, as part of my own landscaping.

It’s no coincidence that news about processed foods came out now. All over our beautiful planet right now, change is speeding up. More humans are waking up every day. Part of surviving and evolving through this time is detoxing. I’ve written several posts on clearing out and letting go of emotional baggage because our minds and spirit are quickly evolving. Now it is time to pay attention to our bodies because they are changing to house the greater light energy we are carrying. To help, we need to clean out toxins and put in healthier food. It’s not just the chemicals that are used during the processing, it’s that nutrition gets stripped out of processed foods. When we think back to how many years we’ve been eating processed foods, we get an idea there may be built up sludge in our bodies.

Give detoxifying some thought. There are plenty of trendy detox plans and diets out there. You’ll have to listen to your own body with assistance from your higher self to be guided to what you need. But here are a few simple natural suggestions are here to help you get started.

Drink lots of water. A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can help.
Drink green tea.
Colon detox. Use natural organic supplements such as senna tea or grape or prune juice. Then follow with natural organic fiber. It may take some time, but as your body adjusts to running more cleanly, things will become more regular.
Foot soak in water with a heavy splash of apple cider vinegar.
Give your organs a rest by fasting (only in moderation.)
Sweating releases toxins through the skin.
Take a bath with sea salt or Epsom salt.
