CHOOSE WHOLE FOODS TO RETAIN YOUTHFUL VITALITY, GOOD HEALTH, WHILE MANIFESTING ABUNDANCE

Thy food will by thy remedy - Hippocrates

When you eat only live whole foods that are in a condition of high vibration your mind and body function in tune with nature and according to the laws of the Universe (including the Law of Attraction).

For the past several years there has been an emphasis on making  people aware that there are ways to maximize results of universal laws by using the power of intention and our thoughts to create abundance and the life of our dreams.  They left out one of the most important secrets to setting this principle into action and that is to practice the right dietary habits and consume food that will clear the nervous system and allow intention to project. Give your brain the right nutrients and you will be able to have a better memory, improved concentration and be more focused on your intentions.

Let's identify those foods and substances that interfere with or block the power of intention and the Law of Attraction as well as play havoc with your body and ruin your health.

The power of intention only works when you have a clear, healthy nervous system that's free from distortion and operating at a high vibration. Utilizing your power of intention is similar to  broadcasting a message from a radio tower, and your nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves, etc.) are the transmission tools.

A radio tower only works well when it has sufficient power and instruments that are in good condition. It also should not be clogged up with interfering signals or overriding disturbances. Your own nervous system has similar requirements. To function well, it must be free of distortion and operating at peak performance. The following items greatly interfere with healthy nervous system function and therefore reduce your power of intention:

Alcohol and drugs: All recreational drugs (including alcohol) impair healthy nervous system function. Clarity cannot be achieved while under the influence of nicotine, alcohol, meth or street drugs as well as many prescription drugs.

Caffeine: Even caffeine interferes with healthy nervous system function. The onslaught of daily stimulants leaves the body depleted of energy, unable to reach the level of vibration necessary to effectively broadcast intention to the Universe.

Processed foods: Processed foods not only lack the nutrition necessary for healthy nervous system function, they're also typically loaded with excitotoxins like MSG, aspartame and yeast extract. These substances damage the functioning of the nervous system, making any practice of theLaw of Attraction virtually impossible. Avoid toxic chemicals. Learn to read labels! If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it, inhale it or put it on your skin. Processed and prepared foods, personal care, and household products have many chemicals that are linked to a long list of chronic ailments. Dangerous chemicals to avoid in food: Propyl gallate, propylene glycol, BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, saccharin, aspartame, Acesulfame-K, artificial colorings, and MSG.

Processed sugar: Sugar greatly impacts the healthy functioning of the nervous system, and refined sugar alters and impairs brain function. All refined sugars should be avoided, including high-fructose corn syrup (the sweetener in sodas), dextrose, sucrose and others. Avoid white bread and refined grains, too, because they're very similar to sugars in the way they impact the nervous system.

Aspartame: This artificial chemical sweetener is extremely toxic and greatly impairs healthy nervous system function. This is partly because aspartame can chemically break down into trace amounts of formaldehyde, and formaldehyde is an extremely toxic nerve poison. Drinking aspartame is sort of like poisoning your brain with chemical preservatives. That's great if you're trying to embalm yourself, but not so good if you actually plan to use your brain for anything useful.

Fragrance products: These are not ingested, but inhaled or applied topically so they are in your blood stream within seconds. All fragrance products based on artificial chemicals impair the healthy functioning of the nervous system by dulling the senses and limiting sensory acuity. Achieving success with the power of intention requires eliminating ALL fragrance products from your life except pure organically grown essential oils. These include most shampoos, laundry detergents, dryer sheets, soaps, perfumes, cosmetics, deodorants, skin creams and other similar products. In each of these categories, there are many alternatives available such as natural products that are either fragrance-free or made from essential oil fragrances only. (See www.peggycarey.com). If you wish to find success in applying the Law of Attraction, it's crucial to get these artificial fragrance chemicals out of your life (and away from your nervous system).

Things that enhance the power of your intention

I also recommend organic live foods whenever possible to obtain what is needed to enhance your power of intention and increase your zest and energy for a long and healthy life.

Once you're free of the substances interfering with your power of intention, you can move on to enhancing your nervous system health with proper supportive substances. Here are the most important items to consider:

Raw foods: Nutrient rich raw foods really cleanse your nervous system and restore healthy brain function. Drinking living high vibration raw food juices on a regular basis (freshly made in your own blender or juicer, not processed) greatly enhances clarity and the power of intention. Most spiritual leaders around the world follow diets based at least in part on raw foods. Following an energizing high energy raw foods diet for just 30 days will dramatically clear your senses and turn you into a powerful broadcaster of intention.

Vegetarian foods: Avoiding or minimizing the consumption of meat and dairy products is also an important way to keep your system clear and lend power to your intention. Meat and dairy products stagnate the flow of energy throughout your mind and body, blocking the intention. To get the best results, go completely dairy free (except for raw, unprocessed milk, which qualifies
 as a raw food). If you are a meat eater, make several days a week meat free and on the other days, eat only clean organically grown meat that has been humanely raised and slaughtered. Eliminate all pork or products containing pork. Pigs are scavengers which means they are clean-up animals and eat all kinds of filth. The meat contains microrganisms that cannot be destroyed with the heat of cooking.

Microalgae and green grasses: These superfoods are nature’s gems full of vital force energy and  offer a two-fold benefit: They cleanse the liver (which purifies the blood and improves mental clarity) and they offer natural high-density nutrition from nature. You can choose from spirulina, chlorella, blue-green algae and the following grasses (many are good for juicing or sprouting):

Barley Grass: is rich in chlorophyll, which has antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties, and enzymes, which the body needs to perform a variety of important chemical reactions, including those that control the body's digestive processes. Enzymes also provide potent antioxidant effects and energy for cells. Green barley can contain thousands of active enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps to detoxify the body and maintain healthy joints. The juice from barley grass contains (per 100 grams) 11 times more calcium than cow's milk, five times more iron than spinach and seven times more vitamin C than oranges.

Alfalfa Grass: This is a protein-rich superfood that contains eight essential amino acids along with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and B12, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, chlorophyll and numerous trace elements.

Oat Grass: Like the other cereal grasses, oat grass contains beta-carotene, vitamins K and C, folic acid, calcium, iron, protein, fiber and B vitamins.

Wheat Grass: A balanced source of nutrition. It contains high levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, protein, enzymes, chlorophyll and mucopolysaccharides. Further, it's known to be highly alkalizing to the body and helps with detoxification.

Healthy oils: Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to the optimum performance of your brain. Consuming regular quantities of healthy oils and omega-3 fatty acids makes a huge difference in the power and strength of your brain fuction. Eat more  avocados, raw coconut oil and minimally processed plant-based oils. Fish oils especially cod liver oil can also  be supportive if you choose to eat fish-derived products. Flax seeds serve a similar purpose for those who are vegetarian.

Berries: Eat large quantities of fresh, raw berries to boost nervous system function and greatly enhance the power of your mental energy. Berries offer nervous system protection, and they also happen to protect against cancer, prevent eye disease, enhance memory and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Be sure to eat a variety of berries so you get all sorts of different colors: Black raspberries, blueberries, red raspberries, strawberries, acai, red currants, wolfberries, wild berries, etc.

Nuts and seeds: Nuts are quite possibly the "perfect" food: full of nutrition, satisfying and portable. They are full of  protein and their healthy monounsaturated fats are good for your heart as well as your brain. Scientific evidence suggests, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of some nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." Enjoy a variety of raw peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, or cashews. Some of the most nutritious and tasty seeds are sesame, sunflower pumpkin, and hemp.

Clean water: Hydration is crucial for good nervous system performance. Your brain needs to be fully hydrated so that the circuitry works well and it functions at optimum levels. Water is essential for concentration and mental alertness. It is next to impossible to engage in effective intention exercises when you're in a state of chronic dehydration (as most people are). Drinking plenty of pure water clears metabolic wastes and even lubricates the nerve cells throughout your body! So drink more clean alkaline water and you'll boost your results.

There are, of course, many other nutrients and natural substances that can enhance mental function and clarity. Thinking is a biochemical process so minerals are also critical to mental functioning and performance. Magnesium and manganese are needed for brain energy. Alkaline minerals such as sodium, potassium and calcium are important in the thinking process since they facilitate the transmission of messages. Everything from tropical fruits to organic garden greens provide a strong benefit in boosting the power of your intention enabling you to create the abundance you desire. There has never been a more accurate statement than YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
