Chakra Healing Through Your Food
In today’s climate of fighting through a global pandemic that’s still raging in some places, it’s important to not only keep your body physically healthy but spiritually healthy.
I find myself being more intentional with what I’m putting in my body. Especially since I fought the virus off from March to April. Once I was well enough to get back on my feet, I knew I needed to heal my chakras after being thrown so far off base. All of the colors of each chakra correspond to the food that helps to stimulate them.
So here’s a few chakra healing foods to help you get centered!
The Root Chakra:
It’s literally your base or root of your body. The Root Chakra is connected to financial independence, money matters & of course, food. The foods you want to eat to stimulate this chakra would be foods that are crimson or red in color. Here are a few:
Beets
Strawberries
Tomatoes
Chilies
The Sacral Chakra:
It’s right above your root chakra & it deals with your creativity, sexuality, & reproduction. It’s the emotional center for abundance, well-being, & pleasure. The foods that stimulate this specific chakra are:
Orange
Papaya
Mango
Pumpkin
Cantaloupe
Honey
The Solar Plexus Chakra:
This chakra is linked to your feelings of willpower, self-esteem, the ability to exercise control & confidence.
The foods for this specific chakra most are yellow. Here’s just a few:
Banana
Pineapple
Apricots
Yogurt
Corn
Whole Grains
Cheese
The Heart Chakra:
The Heart Chakra is probably the most important of all of these. Let’s be honest, what’s in our heart is often reflected physically. The Heart Chakra is most associated with kindness, joy, inner peace, & compassion. So what we’re eating to nurture our heart & bodies is so important. Here’s a few heart foods to get you realigned:
Broccoli
Kale
Lettuce
Sprouts
Tofu
Brown Rice
Lentils
The Throat Chakra:
The Throat Chakra is probably 1b when it comes to importance of having balance. Just like it’s important to be intentional to what you’re giving your heart & absorbing, your words are also important. This chakra is specifically associated with communication. Your words can cut like a knife or be as gentle as a breeze. Here’s some foods to help with your words:
Blueberries
Blackberries
Kelp
Dragonfruit
Wheatgrass
Ginseng
Mushroom
The Third Eye Chakra:
*Rubs between my eye brows for other worldly vision* The lovely Third Eye. The all seeing eye as I like to call it. This chakra is impertinent when it comes to ideas, intuition, visualizations & perspectives. You are essentially seeing the big picture of situations. Personally speaking, my third eye hasn’t steered me wrong yet. This is the chakra that tells you the vibes are off. Listen to it. Here are some superfoods to activate & realign this chakra:
Grapes
Eggplant
Black Currants
Purple Carrots
Purple Lettuce
The Crown Chakra:
This is the seventh & final chakra. The Crown. The literal top of your head. It took me two years into my yoga practice to activate my crown chakra. I did a handstand in class & my consciousness has been elevating since. That was 2017. Your Crown Chakra deals with your spiritual awakening, consciousness, inner wisdom, ability to be present, & seeking enlightenment. The only foods you need to activate this chakra are:
Prayer
Meditation
Water
Aside from what I normally say about drinking water & minding your business, I’ll leave you with this, protect your energy. That includes feeding it properly. The way you take care of your body is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
