I know that too much sugar and caffeine are bad for you but I never really payed to much attention to it. I've been drinking cokes and eating sweets, meats, starches, etc. since I could eat. I'm aware this could hinder my progression towards energy development and activating and exercising my chakras. My question is how much? Is this something I can rectify in a short period of time? Will doing one of those juice diets to clear out the poisons from my body eliminate all the junk I've put into my body the last 30 to 35 years. I'm not overweight (in fact I'm very thin, 6'2'', 180 pounds) and I am not looking for a lose weight program. I was just wondering if there was a way I can clear out all the bad stuff in my body in a short period of time so that I can get on with energy development without any delays or anything in my body that can slow my progress.
I don't think it would be necessary to undo the last thirty-five years of your dietary life. Even if you eat lighter, with mostly veggies (and fish&fowl, though I don't eat fish&fowl) for three days, you should notice some positive results. Not to mention you'll just feel a lot better, and your immune system will benefit.
Don't worry about what you ate, instead worry about what you're going to eat. I've cut out refined sugar and fast food alltogether from my diet, and I feel very healthy, and rarely get sick, (and if at all, for a very short time).
Also, eating sugar or caffine at certain times makes some practices very hard, such as projection or lucid dreaming. There is the possibility, that they might make it harder to attain a trance state, or to sleep properly. I believe that no sugar and caffine 6 hours before practicing something like that will make a difference.
I certainly don't eat the perfect diet but I am slowing changing how I eat. I would definately suggest stop drinking cokes, which have no nutritional value what so ever, and start drinking more water. Water should be the main fluid you take in every day. Even just doing this alone will make you feel a lot better. You will probably be surprised, though it might take some getting use to since you are use to those sweet drinks. I do not think that caffeine is all that bad if taken in moderation and from more healthy sources like tea and coffee as opposed to cokes. I have to have a cup or two of coffee most mornings and a mocha every now and then.
Next I would suggest cutting out sugar. If you need to sweeten something use honey, which is much better for you. Sugar is not very good for you and if you are like most people in the USA you are eating way too much of it.
Cutting out meats from your diet and eating only fruits and vegetables will make you feel like a new person. I have done this and was impressed. Note the past tense there as I found it a difficult diet to maintain. But cutting back on your meating and eating more fruits and vegetables is easier and helps a lot. One of the main things about eating meat I have found is to try to cut out as much fat and greace as possible. That is a major part that will make you feel bad and disrupt your energy work.
As for diet effecting energy work, I do not think it is neccessary to have a good diet to do energy work, but I do think it does help to eat light and healthy. Eating a lot of heavy and unhealthy foods seem to decrease your ability to concentrate on your energy body.
I'm a natural empath and psychic. Most of my practice has been about learning how NOT to hear and how NOT to astral travel.
Caffeine radically reduces my psychic reception -- almost to the point of being manageable. Like a diabetic who's close friends know about insulin and small candy, my close friends know to get me a cup of coffee if we are in a heavily populated area and I get that increasing "deer in the headlights" look.
If somehow I overdo too much and expend too much psychic energy (like unintentionally putting my energy into healing a geographic area) sugar seems to haul me back from the brink but at a really bad ratio. It's like I get 1% genuine energy benefit out of the sugar. It's enough though, that I can then tap into the real source and right myself.
I rarely screw up enough to need to resort to sugar for energy help, but the caffeine crutch is nearly constant, especially when I have to be in intensely populated areas or need to focus on something extended in the material world -- say paperwork or numbers. Energetic focus or astral focus is never a problem.
I offer this info as a "flip side of the coin" to the question here about cleaning up diet.
I'm also looking for suggestions. The down side of caffeine and sugar in my life is too high a price to pay, but so far I have no other workable options.
Any suggestions, even if they seem silly, would be greatly appreciated.
Chimarae, have you tried working with shielding?
Quote from: Naiad780Chimarae, have you tried working with shielding?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried lots of different kinds of shielding with various levels of success.
What works best is to have gifted people around with tight energy packages.
Past that, shielding using malachite, black tourmaline, bloodstone, or lapis has helped alot but no one stone works all the time. For a couple of years, a dragon pendant someone gave me worked but over the course of a couple of months it's effectiveness just drifted away.
In recent years, I have had the best luck with learning to change my vibration so that I'm incompatible with the frequencies but whenever I get tired (coffee/sugar of course contribute once I start getting tired) I slip back. So I'm most defenseless when I need the most defense.
Did you have specific shielding in mind to suggest?
There are all sorts of shielding techniques you could try, but my recent discovery that works very well is one that sounds similar to what you have already tried when you said
Quote from: Chimerae

While doing a meditation, I felt the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed by other people's lives, or just traumatic stories you run into in everyday life. I had an unexpected vision of me fleeing up into the leaves of a walnut tree. Because the tree had a different frequency than the negative things that followed me, they left. Now in my daily life, I adjust myself to that frequency (I hope you understand because it's hard to explain!) and I'm ok. However, it IS difficult when you're tired, as you mentioned. So the next step might be to figure out what makes you tired. A simple lack of sleep? Certain people who drain you? Eating refined foods or not getting enough exercise? Past experiences that still bother you? A job that sucks up your energy? Etc.
One other thing to consider is that daily caffeine can seriously mess with your sleeping habits, causing you to be tired and then you're locked in a vicious cycle.
As for the dragon pendant that stopped working, perhaps it needs to be recharged with calming or shielding energy on a regular basis. A lot of charms work that way.

THANKS. For some reason this has real resonance. I don't understand it with my thinking mind, but most of the stuff that really works for me I don't understand with thoughts.
Somewhere in this tree description is a major key for me.
I really appreciate it.

It meant a lot to me, too. Funny how those images just pop up in meditations like that. Maybe you have a certain kind of tree you resonate with, too.

I feel the exactly the same way you do Kailaurius. And i'm only 17!!
I'm not overweight as well, infact im only like 145 lb and never thought anything of this until about a year ago and even got my blood drawn for a cholesteral test.
But yeah, we should definitly try to eat helathier. It will really help out in the long run
In reply to the orginal question - yes diet can have a big impact on energy work, and unfortunately it takes time to fully detox. I've been eating a high raw diet, (with intermittent fasting) for 8 years now, and still don't consider myself fully detoxed. Of course the process could be speeded up by eating all raw, with more fasts, but it's important not to overload the body's eliminative systems. A lifetime's worth of toxic accumulation won't disappear in a couple of weeks. For most people an all raw diet is difficult to stick to, but good results can be obtaned by just eating 50% or more raw food daily. Also, IMO, some relatively healthy cooked foods also provide a stable, 'grounding' energy to the body.
Anyone interested in physical detox might want to check out the numerous raw food sites that discuss the issue, although be warned, there are many contradictory (and often flat out wrong) ideas about our ideal diet!
Just try cutting back on the caffeine. Having it every now and then is great, it's tastier and feels better. Same with sugar probably...
Hmmm... I think that there is nothing wrong with sugar, body is designed to use it, and it's highly energetic. The worst thing in typical diet are artificial sweeteners. Aspartame/Nutrasweet is a dangerous neurotoxin, and most sugar-free products are sweetened with it.

Cacodemon, you are so right about the artificial sweetners. The only one I use is Stevia--I won't touch the others if I can avoid it.
You are right to an extent about regular sugar, but the problem with it is that here in America at least, refined sugar is in EVERYTHING, even in things that don't seem like they ought to have sugar in it. Therefore most of us end up with an overload of sugar, way more than our bodies are designed to handle. So it's not that sugar is bad, but more that so many of us consume it to excess.
...
Keep in mind that the danger here is over use.
I've been known to use alcohol and caffiene (not at the same time) in rituals to aid in thought/psychedelics.
Because I use them so infrequently (once every two months or something ridiculous like that) I don't need to use much and everyone's happy.
I also charge them with a cocktail of energies- so their potency is increased.
it's an all around good time.
I remember in American Gods Wednesday makes shadow eat stuff to restore his energy after doing 'things'...
I was a vegetarian for 7 years(lots of grains and salads) then switched to eating meat and lots of vegetables (salads,etc) the last year or two and leaving out the fruits and carbos (like all the anti carb diets now suggest). Recently I have started with home made Kefir and green tea and an apple before going to bed. I also drink a raw egg daily. I noticed that I am sharper mentally, less drowsy on my meat/raw food diet than when I was a heavy grain/potatatoes type of vegetarian.
Can anyone say if green tea (supposed to be healthier for brain) has a lot of caffeine compared with coffee, black tea or soft drinks (all of which I never touch)?
The effect on my Kundalini of all this God only knows.
From what I know green tea has much more caffeine than standard tea. But caffeine isn't really a health problem, even a cup of coffee is not a problem. I would never drink anything containing caffeine, this would cause sleep problems for me. And you are right about soft drinks, but they contain much more poisons than you think: nitric acid, aspratame, really bad quality water and many others.
Hi there,
I'm not trying to look for fight with those old-habit-based diets :) but maybe it's important writing down my experience here:
About 3 years ago I sat down and examined my dietary habits. I had been having some health-related problems, specially with stress and digestive system. I read all I could about nutrition and found out vegetarian diet as the most suitable for guys like us, who seek spiritual stuff and are ready to invest in recycling old bad habits.
Yes, I know the sweeter, saltier, crunchier, spicier and "animalier" the better, but my stomach and bowels showed me the opposite. And it is curious how sensitive you become to food when shifting to vegetarianism.
So my research has led me to the following conclusions:
-Sugar is not suitable for our bodies. When taking sugar our pancreas has to work doubly and a depletion of glucose in blood happens taking us to a weaker state in where we get more angry. It can be considered as a drug, because our brains, fed exclusively with sugar, tend to ask for more. This creates an endless loop in which our moods swing from good to bad humour.
-Caffeine is even worse because it stimulates the pancreas, so a sugared coffee depletes even more completely our blood stream, not to speak about the level of stress it raises in our brains making it being always speeded up.
-About meat, fish and eggs the only thing I could say is that it's a non ethical, non ecological and non healthy practice to use them as food. I'd read about this fact but my doubts were ever more evident when some months ago I read "The astral body" by Arthur Powell in which a more "universal" viewpoint is given. On the other hand, fats, waste and hormones found in fleshy food contribute to nerve deterioration and dullness (specially compared to an enlightened mind state).
-Carbonated drinks inevitably acidify blood which leads to bone loose because it is used to realcalinize the system. Not to speak about so many illnesses related with blood pH disorders.
-For every signal our brains send to our bowels they send ten signals to our brains in response. This leads us to the new theory of second brain in intestines and a third one in the penis, which distributes along our bodies our intelligence centres. This way, in the same grade we take care of our main brain so we should take also of the secondary ones.
The overall results about applying a clean veg diet are: a more calmed down and settled down mind, a healthier body, a more energetic brain, a lighter bowel, and so on.
Best regards.

You are wrong about meat and fish. Eating standard amounts of meat helps build muscle mass, and is perfectly healthy. Human body is designed in such way that we are omnivores, and we should eat both meat and vegetables. But you are right, eating meat IS unethical, and that's why I am vegetarian. Of course I've started being vegetarian when I was 17, and it would be really bad decision to do it earlier. But what's the ethical problem with eggs?
None. The only eggs used for eating are duds that wouldn't have hatched into chicks anyway, except for the odd bad egg with a malformed bloody fetus in it that you occasionally get.
Anti-carb diets are pathetic and stupid.

Yuck!
I would never buy eggs in shop, in commercial farms chickens are feed with antibotics and many other things that are harmful for human's health, and all those substances are in the eggs too. The best way is to get eggs from your own farm, this is only way to be sure of their quality.
I don't have a farm. I just have to bear it until I can build a farm with a roof garden and solar panels and stuff.
Even then, I'm sure they'll all get polluted somehow, so I'm in no rush.
Organically produced eggs bought from a shop are better than the factory farmed variety, if you can't keep your own hens.

Dear veg fellow:
I'm afraid I don't agree with you.
Our bodies are full of contradictions which who know why they're there, but one thing is sure: our bowels are not omnivorous but clearly vegetarian. If you analyze what's the length of an omnivorous' bowel you'll see it is extremely short. Why this design?, because meat based digestions cause a highly acidic wastes which must be expelled from the digestive track before hurting it. Acid related illnesses are widespread in our society due to this fact: digestive intolerance, gout, premature aging, some cancers, and the like. A brief analysis of other cultures shows us that high vegetable and low animal-source food composed diets are healthier, as it is Japanese diet or yogic one. Japanese people know well what foods to add to their daily meals in order to alkalize them (e.g. seaweeds...). So although our teeth are carnivorous our bowels are vegetarian.
About muscle building you already know proteins are in veg food, specially nuts, legumes and some other special foods (as brewer's yeast). All those ads on TV exciting people to consume meat, eggs and milk to build muscle and bone is just a market trick to sell as much product as they can.
Maybe you should also read about meat's influence on the astral body. Buddha said right this: if you want to attain enlightment you'll have to give up eating animals, even milk.
And about your question on eggs the only thing I can say is: would you eat your mothers ovules?, don't you see unethical to jail hens in precarious conditions and cut their picks to just only produce eggs?.
Best regards.

I don't have enough information to argue about our digestion system, and that's true that carnivores have much shorter bowels, so you are probably right about that.

Ovules don't have nearly anything to do with eggs, if you don't believe, check the structure of egg, and compare it to ovule. And what do you mean by jailing hens? On my farm they walk on 500m2 of my backyard, and seem to be really happy of their life. Hen can't live longer than 1 year in cage, but these on my farm live more 3 years and only one died.
And could you explain what means "cut their picks"? My english is bad, and I haven't found this in english dictionary.

Your hens are fortunate but in most places that's a condition not fulfilled. Industry-related egg production use to put hens in little cages from where they take out their heads just to eat some chemical fodder. Lights are also controlled to alter their reality conception and make them produce more.
Quote

Sorry, maybe my babylon translator is not so accurate as it should. By "pick" I meant the "mouth" of the hen. Being jailed they get nervous and can be hurt by themselves or by others with their sharp "picks", so they are removed (just the tip). As you can see they become production machines.
Animals will suffer whether or not we eat them. I do think it is cruel, and I feel guilty about distancing myself from this death.
This is why I'd like to go deer hunting with a spear sometime. Rending the flesh of the animals first hand should give me a taste of whether or not I deserve to eat meat.
As for milk, no one suffers from that, all animals drink it at birth, what's wrong about suckling from the proverbial teats of other creatures? Milk has healthy qualities, even after one is mature enough not to need it. Why should we abstain when we can cause the creatures to produce more than needed for their calves? It would go to waste otherwise.
Thing is, our appendix has become redundant, which usually would digest the cellulose walls in plant cells. Most plant matter we eat goes straight through us, although it still acts as a "fibrous" part of our diet, cleaning the digestive system as it passes through.

Now I understand. When I was a child the hens were property of my grandmother. She is a human only from biological point of view. From psychological point of view she's a horrible creature getting pleasure from cruelly tormenting people and animals. She loved to broke bones in hen's wings, she cut their beaks sometimes even with the part of their tongues, and of course killed them in such place so the other hens would see it. And you know what's most horrible part? The cut off head of hen opened and closed it's mouth continuously for a few seconds trying to scream, and I've seen this when I've been 7 years old. The rest of hen flapped it's wings and moved for about 5 minutes. WITHOUT A HEAD! We don't let her do anything like this now, because her husband is dead now, and she has no way to decide about anything. We don't cut hens beaks now, because they don't attack eachother and are very peaceful animals.
Owch... I'm glad my grandma's had arthritis as long as I can remember...

Yea, animals will suffer anyway. But you're not watching the big picture: you're not an animal, or at least no so beasty. I mean you can choose between killing an animal or respecting it; an animal doesn't have an enough developed mind to reason that. We're here talking about astral worlds and spiritual beings but lots go on thinking in an earthly manner.
Without entering in so deep dissertations I'll answer you about milk. When we are babies are bodies are prepared to digest our mum's milk. If I'm not wrong there's a gland called "timmus" located in the chest and which secretes special substances to break down milk. As we grow older its functioning slows down. At 20 our body just can't digest it so digestive process gets longer in time and bacterial equilibrium breaks in the bowels. Why?, because a half digested milk is the perfect medium in which grow harmful bacteria. If you add to this a warm and humid environment you can conclude that a glass of milk is a little bomb.
Greetings.

I know you're not questioning my knowledge. What I mean is that basically everyform of an egg is a protochild, be human or animal. From my viewpoint is an aberration to consume eggs of anykind. That remembers me a snake stealing eggs from a bird, or a primeval guy trying to be stronger dining their enemy's hearths.
Logically thought, an egg, the sperm and all life-creating related cells must have some kind of special quality. Don't missunderstand me, this is not a sermon or antiabortion movement, but if we are so concerned with "energies" and energy work it is logical to conclude that a liver cell is quite differente from an ovule cell.

Well, our grandparents have a completely different point of view. My ones knew starvation when they suffered the spanish civil war. Everything was good for eating and no animal was safe from being beheaded. If you see this theatre since childhood it is more likely you're going to mimic this behaviour later with no moral problem.
I've been investigating diets for 10 years. After a lot of tests on my own body my inferences have led me to veganism. If you read about diet and spirituality (i.e. buddhism, essenes, yoga, new age) you'll discover they all advice veganism or lactovegetarianism in order to achieve some kind of spiritual progress.
Regards.

Ovule cell is like any other even from metaphysical point of view. It is only like a computer program until it starts dividing, then it become an organism. And remember that ovule cell is less than .001% of egg. The rest was designed to be used as food.

My other grandparents(parents of my mother) also knew what hunger was. They had to hunt/kill animals, but it was never a pleasure for them, it was necessary in order to survive. They didn't had nearly any education, but they had compassion, and real feelings. The problem I've mentioned before is something bigger. My grandmother(from father's side) seems to get some kind of pleasure from killing animals. She hasn't got any compassion, and
this scares me.

Well, I'm not a mystic or the like and don't even know if I could be considered a spiritual guy despite my efforts to order my riotous head but one thing is clear for me: a liver-cell can reproduce itself and build up an another entire liver, a fecundated ovule can reproduce itself and build up a whole human being. So there must be a difference between one and the other
In taoist yoga is described in detail the importance of sex energies and sex-related cells to use their energy in the same way it is used in NEW system.
It is said that 10 drops of water are needed to create a drop of blood and 1000 drops of blood to create a drop of sperm (don't remember well the quantities, I've told by heart).
And about food, for sure the 99,9% of an egg is just food, but food for the development of the ovule. Eggs are put outside so they need a cover to mature, ovules use the opposite strategy but inside, in the womb. It is as if giants hens would eat caged female human's wombs. Appalling.

Human wombs are part of body, and chicken eggs are not, human womb provides only suspension and enviroment required by the ovule. The differences are so big that the analogy fails.
I'm 18, does this mean I should drink all the milk I can for the next two years? Once I'm 20 no more milk... nooooooo.
