Exploring Esoteric Diets and Their Benefits

You know the saying, “You are what you eat.”. There is not a coincidence that those who are on a diet of foods with high amounts of trans fat and sugar, such as daily intake of fast food and other junk food, are low-vibrational and physically unhealthy. And those who stick to healthier diets tend to be healthier physically and are higher-vibrational such as being able to think clearly and more optimistically.

And if you desire to be more spiritual and deepen your connection with your Higher Self or the Source, consider adopting an esoteric diet. That does not mean you have to convert to veganism unless you want to, but there are some diets you will want to adopt so you can learn about the health benefits and how to incorporate esoteric principles into daily meal planning.

What Is an Esoteric Diet?

Esoteric eating is when you incorporate a balanced and healthy diet into your spiritual practices, as you stick to foods that nourish your mind, body, and soul. Any esoteric diet consists of wholesome, nutritious food to increase your vibration and connect with your Higher Self or the Source. There is more than one type of holistic diet if you want to stick to eating nutritional and high-vibrational foods to incorporate into your spiritual practice or for self-improvement.

There are several esoteric diets, but I will delve into raw food, Ayurveda, macrobiotics, and Mediterranean diets. Let’s review each diet and talk about they promote holistic well-being and how to incorporate esoteric principles into daily meal planning on any of these diets.

The Spiritual and Energetic Aspects of the Raw Food Diet

The raw food diet is plant-based and consists of nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits. It also consists of these foods not being cooked in temperatures higher than 118 F, which is 48 C. You also do not pasteurize or treat foods with pesticides or process them, but you can blend, juice, soak, sprout, and dehydrate food in this diet.

The raw food diet can be vegan for those who use it, but it does not have to be, as many who utilize it can consume raw fish, meat, eggs, and dairy. However, those who are not vegan and incorporate the raw food diet into their lives know how to ensure that essential animal byproducts and meat is clean without cooking, processing, or pasteurizing them.

The belief is that cooking, pasteurizing, or processing foods are not healthy as it ruins the natural enzymes in food that provide you with the life force. Those who incorporate the raw food diet into their lives find improved vitality: excellent weight management (or loss if that is what they choose), healing chronic conditions, and increased energy. And the foods help them with more mental clarity and positive thinking, which raises their vibration.

Unsurprisingly, those who want to create a spiritual life and improve their spiritual connection with their Higher Selves and Source would adopt a pure diet such as the raw one. You will find that your lifestyle changes for the better when you adopt any holistic diet, as you will spend more time grocery shopping and in the kitchen, and as your diet changes, you will incorporate more spiritual activities in your life, such as meditation and yoga.

The raw food diet may help you change your routine by carefully planning your meals as you develop a connection to the Source, which will help you incorporate other spiritual practices into your life. Now, look at another esoteric diet, the Ayurvedic diet, and see what is involved.

How The Ayurvedic Diet Can Benefit You

The Ayurvedic diet has been around for thousands of years, centering around Ayurvedic medicine from India and focusing on various energy points in your body which will make you healthier. The Ayurvedic diet is not a one-size-fits-all diet as it is all about the foods you should and should not eat based on your body type as it is meant to improve your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

In the Ayurvedic tradition, the universe consists of five elements: Prithvi is earth, Vayu is air, Teja is fire, Jala is water, and Askash is space. These elements form the three main physiological functions known as doshas. The dosha that controls your hunger, thirst, and temperate is the pitta dosha. Your movement and electrolyte balance is maintained by vata dosha, and your kapha dosha governs your joint function.

The Ayurvedic diet is there to help you find your dominant dosha, and you will eat the foods that nourish it while balancing the other two doshas. For example, you have a medium build if your predominant dosha is pitta, which consists of water and fire. You may be at risk for heart disease, digestive problems, hypertension, and being short-tempered and industrious. You will stick to foods that best support this dosha while balancing the other two.

Those with the vata dosha as the dominant one are known to be light-framed, energetic, and creative and may struggle with fatigue and anxiety if there is an…
