The Power of Red

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.   - Nikola Tesla

All is energy but in learning to recognize the world from an energy viewpoint, color and sound are the two easiest vibrations for most people to relate to. The sensation of color depends on the number of vibrations of light, just as the sound of a note depends on the vibrations emitting it. The variance is produced by the intensity of their energy frequencies. These make up the visible light spectrum. Any vibration beyond those we can see are known as ultra-violet.

Every living thing on the planet requires sunlight to grow and survive. Human beings are no exception.  Within the white light of the sun are seven different rates of vibration, we know as colors. Sunlight produces color in plants and that vibration is carried into the animal that eats the plant. These different color frequencies affect the well-being of the body, mind as well as our emotions and spirit.

The color RED anchors your connection to the physical world. It is essential in creating overall strength that supports the physical body. It stimulates. It represents passion, life, love, survival, family and tribe. It strengthens and awakens physical energy and will.  The physical organ that reflects this is the heart and blood. According to the Greek Law of Similar, red foods support the components of the Fire Element; a Chinese medicine term for heart, adrenal and blood.

Students of energy, familiar with vortexes of the human body, know that the color red is the vibration of the root chakra. It extends from the lower abdomen to about midpoint length of the thighs. Organs within its influence include the sexual organs, prostate, bladder and large intestine. Those organs are a long way from the heart yet; the root chakra energetically represents all the aspects of survival just as the heart does in the physical plane. The distance in the physical body seems extreme yet, the conceptual similarities of these two match. 

Recent science indicates that the lycopene in the skin of tomatoes is good for your heart, and that many red foods increase metabolic rates. The natural color of red radishes, red peppers (especially chilies), strawberries, cherries, pomegranate, raspberries, watermelon, red onion, red apples, red grapes as well as tomatoes and beets add vitality and strengthen the immune system.

If you find your life feeling out of balance in areas of finances, career, family or love relationships, try adding more red to your diet, wardrobe or environment.

Detoxing is Releasing

Society has taught us that lines and discoloration are part of aging, and to a degree they are. They are the hard-wire remnants of our histories. The affect of repeated thoughts, feelings and physical misdeeds is carried along the nervous system. It feeds each cell and eventually leave its affect with soft tissue. This weakens the integrity of tissue. The result is toxicity in joints, waste stored in cells, swelling and inflammation. When working with human tissue, nothing is ever permanent (except maybe a tattoo). Just as we can change our mind, these past remnants can be softened, lessened or sometimes erased.

On the physical level releasing the past comes from cleansing and detoxifying internal organs. One of the best ways to cleanse is with a fast. My favorite fast is my Detox Vegetable Soup. You’ll find the recipe on my website www.wisdompathway.com .This soup heals, strengthens and revitalizes. Excess weight is a result of a sluggish system and low vitality causing weakness in organ function. It only stands to reason that offering your body the cleanest and highest nutrition will allow the organs and tissues to release the old and return to homeostasis…perfect balance. A body in perfect balance finds its perfect form.

The ancient Greek followed a rule of thought that white fruits or vegetables clean the lymphatic system. You will  see that many of  vegetables included in my recipe are white, such as; turnips, onions cabbage and garlic. Cabbage alone outdoes broccoli in its level of calcium. Also listed very high on cabbage’s nutritional profile are the B vitamins: Niacin (B3), Riboflavin (B2)  and Thiamine (B1

These three B’s act to aid digestion, stabilize emotions, and relieve irritability and depression while aiding the entire nervous system. They are even more effective when combined with calcium and phosphorus. They help prevent constipation, edema and aid the urinary system. 

Curry is used as a common antiseptic in India and  turmeric is one of the  Ayurvedic  medicines. Curry’s anti-inflammatory properties have been shown in studies to promote neurological health. Incorporating curry leaves into your daily diet can also help with your weight loss plan. These leaves are known to flush out fat and toxins, thereby reducing fat deposits that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels.

In recent studies Turmeric has proven to slow the spread of breast and skin cancer into other areas of the body. It also  relieves Cystic Fibrosis  and Psoriasis. Practitioners of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese herbal medicine use turmeric to treat digestive disorders. It contains compounds that have been shown to ease pain. In helping to relieve these aliments it has to be cleansing, detoxing and releasing.
