Healing with Colours of Food

Each food carries a vibration and each colour of the rainbow has its own frequency. For example, freshly picked vegetables from an organic garden have a different vibration that pesticide-laden cooked food.

When we eat this colourful, high frequency food we ingest positive energies into our body. There are seven primary colours in food that correspond to seven main energy centers or “chakras” in the body.

Each Chakra can be affected by specific emotional and psychological issues. These energy centres are connected to our nerves, hormones and emotions. Chakras are the link between energy and the physical body.

 

RED COLOUR CHAKRA – is located at the base of the spine and is a basic survival center in the body. Associated organs are adrenal glands, kidneys, bladder, legs and feet.

Feed your root chakra with red food:

Beets, red peppers, red radishes, tomatoes, red apples, strawberries, cherries, red grapes, and raspberries contain high amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C strengthens the adrenals colon, connective tissues and artery walls. Eating red food is also beneficial for people who have back pain, poor circulation, poor blood, are anaemic and are constantly cold.

 

Red food will give you confidence and well-being. If you are constantly tired, cold, depressed and with no energy than you are probably missing red from your food.

 

ORANGE COLOUR CHAKRA – is located in the pelvic (sacrum) area between the pubis and navel.

Associated organs are sacrum, lower part of the intestines, bladder and kidneys.

Feed your sacral chakra with orange food such as carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges, mangoes, papayas, apricots and peaches. Carrots are one of the best detoxifiers. They nourish the kidneys and liver and are rich in beta-carotene. Beta carotene prevents bladder, rectal, stomach and cervical cancer. Sweet potatoes are a kidney tonic and are rich in beta carotene. Oranges prevent bladder, rectal and stomach cancer and have a cleansing effect on the body. Mango is another delicious healthy fruit with lots of vitamin C, beta carotene, and pectin. Mangoes are used to treat kidney inflammation.

Orange is the colour of joy and wisdom, giving you physical energy and emotional strength

Eating orange food stimulates the appetite and aids digestion.

 

YELLOW COLOUR CHAKRA – is a solar plexus chakra located between the navel and the heart.

Associated organs are stomach, spleen, skin, pancreas, liver and gallbladder.

 

Feed your sacral chakra with yellow food.

Bananas, lemons, pineapples, yellow pepper, parsnips, cinnamon and grapefruits

contain fiber, vitamin C, pottasium, magnesium and pectin. Pineapple contains the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain which is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Banana is soothing for the stomach and helps balance intestinal flora. Cinammon is a digestive tonic, relieves gas and balances blood sugar.

 

Yellow is the colour of the sun and is the colour of happiness and cheerfulness.

Eating yellow food will help you focus and help you with concentration.
