Hi, just wondering if you can give me information on energy healers that you know eat raw vegan food or just vegan food? I am a vegan and I try to be raw. Thanks!

I know Pamela Walker from pammie's raw candies is mostly raw vegan. I know Richard Gordon and David Wolfe are mostly raw vegan but do they charge for healings?

I'm mostly raw vegan. I've eased into this over the last few months so I'm a newbie. Why do you want info? And what info do you want?

Hi,

I do a high raw diet and have been doing this for approx. 5 years! I feel it is very helpful not only for health reasons but it also has a huge impact on my healing work and my ability to tap into Spirit.

Aloha!

I am also a vegan. I'm not completely raw, but I try to eat more food raw than cooked. I made this change to my diet long before I got into energy healing (I've been a vegan for about six years now), so I'm not sure how big a difference it has made in my ability to run energy, but it has definitely made a HUGE difference in my health and helped me cure several problems I used to have. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about my experience.

Hi Yuna,

'Body Electronics' people are really into the importance of combining nutritional therapy with energy work, they say that through a marriage of these two results like cartilage regeneration become a possibility. They all place a heavy emphasis on raw food however most are not vegetarian. Thomas Chavez is the exception, a raw food vegan practitioner, he might be worth looking into.

I just can't agree with the diet have an affect on the quality of the healing.

I have been vegan, raw and omnivorous. I have not had anyone say that the diet has been an over riding factor in over 40 years of doing healing work. While doing the work as a vegan, a raw foodist or a carnivore the quality of the healings have stayed consistent and the comments exactly the same.

If there is something to it, having gotten sessions from all of different diets from the people doing healing work, regardless of diet, I have noticed no observable difference in the results.

Perhaps there is something I am missing here but I have yet to have it proven to me one way or the other.

I have noticed that it is easier to feel lighter and more fluid as a raw foodist but that is a state that is achievable, it least in my experience with just a bit more focus, regardless of my diet.

Just my opinion.

Sorry I wasn't quite clear, the body electronics group place emphasis on the nutritional state of the recipient of the treatment, not the person giving the treatment. (They actually use acupressure as they aim to activate they patients healing energy rather than use their own). Their claim is that a well nourished person responds far better to an energy treatment than a poorly nourished one,to the extent of being able to regenerate cartilage, dissolve scar and calcified tissue and so on. I've experimented myself with taking large doses of vitamin C (in the region of 10 grams) and watching cuts on my hands disappear over the course of a day. So to me the combination of nutritional therapy and energy work (in whatever form) makes sense. My experience is very limited however, I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who has an opinion on this.

Regarding the connection between diet and the ability of the healer, it's a brilliant question isn't it. I'd love to think that by eating a certain type of food I could increase my healing potency. All the diets you mentioned are potentially healthy Alain, maybe abstaining from meat doesn't make different but do you think that a diet of exclusively junk food would have lowered your healing potential?

Just a couple thoughts,

on the recipient being helped with a healthier diet, I have heard it said that energy can be made into any substance or body tissue, and I think this makes sense from a quantum physics point of view since everything is supposedly made of energy. Now suppose that the body receiving energy is using that energy to form tissues and nutrients that it is short on and expel wastes and toxins in order to achieve its healing. Now suppose that the person is on a healthier-than-average diet, and lives a healthier-than-average lifestyle and therefore part of the job is already done, leaving less repair work to be done, does it not follow logically that, while energy healing is certainly possible whatever the recipient's diet, if there is a smaller job to be done, the job might be done more quickly and with fewer "healing crises?" Just a thought.
Also, perhaps diet has an effect for the recipient but not the practitioner because the energy is just flowing through the practitioner like a pipe, but is doing its actual work in the recipient? Then again, isn't it true that the practitioner receives a little healing while he is giving a treatment? Perhaps the diet of the practitioner affects the "side healing" that he receives, but not the quality of the energy itself?
Third, might diet effect frequency of spiritual experiences while running energy or perhaps effect the ease with which one learns to perceive energy?
Fourth, perhaps, as Mr. Corlett has pointed out, the difference made by the practitioner's diet on the quality of energy being sent is so small that only extreme variations in diet might make a noticeable difference (like going from an all junk food diet to a raw organic vegan diet).
Just some thoughts to stimulate conversation, I'd love to see everyone's comments on these.

I had another thought and wanted to share it:

Could it be that diet would make a difference for some practitioners, but not for others (i.e., perhaps some people are already very open to running energy and it runs strongly for them right away, while others energy channels/pathways are not very open and could benefit from a healthier diet to help the open to a greater flow?
To illustrate, some people are born with very strong genes and have good health automatically and can get away with not-so-healthy activities, while others are weaker genetically and need to live a healthier life in order to have the same level of health as a genetically stronger person. I myself am genetically about a 7 (on a scale of 1-10) and had numerous minor health problems growing up when I was living, eating, etc. the same things as the 10's around me, and I had health problems and they didn't. But when I started to live and eat and think in a much healthier way than them, my health improved and now I am healthier than most 10's I know, but I had to make up the extra 3 points with my lifestyle that they were given genetically at birth.

I think a diet that feels good to the individual is the most appropriate diet. At different times in my life, different diets have seemed more appropriate.

There are exceptions to any rule we make about diet. For example for one person having water with lemon juice in it finds it is cleansing and healing and wonderful. For another the same diet makes their stomach hurt and they are extremely uncomfortable.

Certainly we observe that a diet made up of potato chips and other fried foods, tends to make a person gain weight. Yet for another they seem fine. This list goes on and on.

When I think of diet, I often think of my grandmother who smoked till almost 80 then gave it up in a day because she started falling asleep with a cigarette in her hand. She drank alcohol from time to time occasionally to excess and had a zest for life. She ate a balanced diet but heavier towards meat. She lived to 102. Her sister lived the same and died by the time she was 30. Interesting eh?

While a "better" diet may certainly give you a tendency to overall better health, I think a good attitude and joy in your life are a stronger influencing factor.

My belief has since become: be happy, love one another and all things in moderation except when you change your mind.

Hi

I am a mostly raw vegan (about 70% raw)and have been for the last 11 years but I could not tell you whether this makes any difference to the quality of energy work that I practice. What i would say is, that the more careful about what you put into your body in the way of quality foods, the more sensitive your body's reactions become when ingesting things like medications or alchohol. I can feel even subtle changes to my diet in my body.

Now this does not mean that there is any difference to the quality of energy that is going through me, and I tend to agree with Alain that the emotional component is the key factor in determining health. I get sick when there is worry, emotional disturbance, or issues that I am not dealing appropriately with. You could say that I eat an excellent diet filled with raw fruit, nuts, raw and cooked veg,small amounts of cooked grains etc but the thing that prediposes me to any kind of phyical illness is unresolved emotional issues. I have tracked it again and again especially in the last few years since doing QT and there is a direct and unrefutable link between the state of my mind and the well being of my body and the quality of the energy work I am able to do. I am of the belief that if you continually work internally on your attitudes, joy of life, gratitude, trust, forgiveness and love and try and clear any emotional issues as quickly as possible, the more you will enjoy peace in your body.

It is this link between body and mind that continues to fascinate me and compel me to work more and more on emotional issues of my clients. A fascinating book on this subject is one I have mentioned before on this board somewhere, POWER VERSUS FORCE by David Hawkins, where he basically puts forward the idea that all thoughts of anger, pity,resentment,greed, unforgivingness,etc are immune depressing and the higher up the emotional vibrational scale you go the more immune enhancing our thoughts become. This ties in with findings from Dr Emoto and his experiments with water and much more of the latest research that is emerging on Psychological health.

A much more powerful reason now for me staying vegan is the food crisis that we find ourselves today in the world. A vegan diet, for me, is a contribution that I can give to future generations that will look back and question our land use programmes in order to maintain the kind of diet that supports heavy use of animal products. As a teacher I was reminded of this fact when teaching 6th graders about food chains and webs and about producers and consumers. The students could clearly see that the most important part of the food chain were our producers (those green plants that make their own fod through photosynthesis)

I seem to have gone off on a tangent - anyway that is my two cents worth after many years of contemplating!!!

Love
Wendy

I enjoyed your tangent Wendy. I'm sure others do too. Thank you. I'll check out the book Power Versus Force -- sounds interesting.

Lots of good points here! Yuna, remember that when doing QT, the practitioner is entraining to the Universal Lifeforce energy through breathing and sweeping, and that makes up for a lot! Moreover, there is a range of personalities of people who eat mostly raw food as well as a range of people who eat cooked food. Eating raw food means you eat raw food and are probably pretty healthy - and that's about the only thing you can tell!

I think you'd get a better feel for whether someone is a good match for you by giving them a call and talking to them and see if you like their vibe.
