Living Water

Without water there would be no life on this planet. Healthy water brings life and uplifts the spirit. Polluted water brings disease and misery. It too is a reflection of the planetary soul.

Why Organic, Natural Foods?

Wild-crafted foods (foods harvested from wild plants) have the highest nutritional content, with organic foods next, and conventionally grown foods last.

Organic foods have about twice the vitamin and mineral content as conventional foods.

Authentic food has to do with what we can do to add energy to food and soil, by Love and devotion in its production. This allows us to absorb the highest energy from our food, which is the main way we derive energy from the planet.  

The Purpose of Diet

• Aid our spiritual unfolding in the context of the Six Foundations.
• Increase our ability to assimilate, store, conduct, and transmit the cosmic, heightened, evolutionary energies now being generated on our planet and the intensified energy released by our own spiritual development, so that these energies either activate and increase our energy potential for the Kundalini awakening or further support the already awakened Kundalini that acts as a spiritualizing force in our body-mind-spirit complex.
• Maintain, purify, and honor the body as the physical aspect of the spirit and as the temple for the spirit in a way that keeps our minds clear and our bodies physically able to cope with the demands of the spiritual process of Whole Person Enlightenment.
• Balance our individual chakras, balance the chakras as a whole system, and directly aid our meditation process.
• Use the process of developing an individualized diet for spiritual life, which we call the art of Spiritual Nutrition, as a spiritual practice in itself.
• Honor and enhance our food as a main interface between
