Food as Energy: Aligning Diet with the Rays of Consciousness
The foods we consume not only impact our physical health but also influence our emotional, mental, and spiritual states. Each Ray of Consciousness, aligned with different energetic centers, can be supported by intentional dietary choices that promote balance, energetic flow, and spiritual alignment. By understanding how food interacts with these rays, individuals can make conscious decisions that nurture their body and soul, fostering holistic well-being and alignment with universal and planetary energy systems.
