Ascension Symptoms

[Monica]

Hi Monica and others,

I also felt exactly this when I turned vegetarian. Much lighter. Almost if I couldn't stand first red meat, then white meat.

I now eat fish again, but ocasionally, but just because I live in a very cold climate. But I clearly feel the energetic state of food: first vegetables and fruits, then grains and pulses, then diary and eggs, then fish.

I guess its a balance of our energetic state. I could try eating only raw vegetables but its more energetic (and less "physical") that what my body is adjust to. So, at the moment, my diet is mostly diet with only a small portion of raw. But here (at the Arctic) we are also limited by food availability.

Sounds like you're doing great! Climate must be taken into consideration. There's no question that those living in a tropical or sub-tropical climate can have an easier time eating more raw fruits and veggies than someone living in the Arctic!

I notice that I want mostly raw vegan in the spring and summer, but a bit more cooked foods in the winter. I find soaked nuts and seeds, made into a nut milk with a bit of vanilla, organic honey and cinnamon, also seem to help satisfy that desire for something warm. (I posted the recipe on another thread, forgot which.)

I suspect that it's really the oils we need when it's cold. Not so much the protein, which can easily be obtained from vegetarian sources, but the oils, which help warm the body.

According to Chinese medicine, above-ground veggies and fruits are more 'cooling' whereas below-ground veggies, like carrots and potatoes, are more 'warming' energetically.

It makes sense: Nuts, seeds, and root veggies are harvested in the fall, and can last the whole winter if properly stored, whereas the cooling fruits, greens and other veggies are harvested in spring and summer.

My nut milk is very rich, with loads of warming, healthy oils. I can understand that someone living in the Arctic might need some fish, if they didn't have access to enough nuts and seeds. They need to get those oils somehow. If the person wishes to avoid fish, they might consider trying the nuts and seeds and see how they do with that.

I commend you for doing so well with your diet! I can only imagine that it must be difficult, living in such a cold climate.
