KAI ORA - Living Foods for Healing

Living Energy - Foods for Healing

You've probably heard or read that the old time Tohunga wouldn't eat or even touch cooked food. Also you may have heard that this was because they were extremely Tapu. What does that mean anyway? Simply put, they wished to remain in a high vibrational or spiritual state. Their own electro-magnetic fields were huge and powerful. Being in that state 24/7 allowed them to perform miracles or 'magic' to the western mind. Its only been in very recent years that science and technology has caught up enough to provide 'proof' of the assertions about the nature of matter that was the province of the Tohunga.

Why raw food?

All living things have fine electro-magnetic energy fields, measured in nano-amps. That's tiny, but crucial to life and health. All living things also ingest and emit light to a greater or lesser extent, dependant on their nature and state of health. Maori refer to that energy as MAURI - living energy, or life force.

Kirlian photography has now captured pictures of that energy, or the Light Bodies of various living things, like leaves as in the pic below. Even after a leaf is torn or cut its light body remains intact for a time. Some people have the natural ability to detect these fields through 'feel' - really their own energy systems that may be more sensitive through their hands, or bellies, and even eyes. Its rare, but a few are born with the ability to physically see auric energies and light bodies - I've only met one person who lives in that world all the time. The world he sees is different - so much so that when he talks about stuff that is normal to him he's always badly misunderstood because he's talking about things that don't exist to normal people's vision. But his world is beautiful. Its also an ability that can be learned or acquired.

 Here's the important thing - if you eat plant food raw you are eating its Mauri - its life force, and that is added directly to your own energy fields. Cooking and freezing foods destroys that living energy. Sure you'll still get some vitamins, some minerals, some nutrients, some calories from your fruits, vegetables and grains, but you'll be missing out on the most important part altogether - the living raw energy that your body craves. The stuff that fuels your superfine electro-magnetic fields that are essential to natural healing.

Mauri - Life Force, Living Energy

 You also start overloading your body right there with acidic dead matter that turns your body into a toxic dump if you kill your food first by cooking or freezing. Ever tried to grow a frozen pea? Did you know that fat cells are essential to your survival? They're the good guys that grab hold of all those acidic toxins and hold them safely away from where they can do damage - its true! Even cholesterol has a part to play in our survival. The plaque lining the walls of your arteries is actually stopping acids from chewing holes in them - I just read that in a friend's book 'The pH miracle for weight loss' by Dr Robert O Young. Its interesting stuff, but pretty gruesome when you find out about all the yeasts and moulds making themselves at home in our bodies and poisoning our blood - and you bet I've had experience with looking after people with poisoned blood from illness and infections. Its not pretty - poison blood, poison mind, poison tongue. Fortunately a good detox with juices, herbs and a change of diet can put things right quite quickly.

Personally I think McDonald's has been getting a bad rap. They're no worse than 90 per cent of the foods you'll find in the supermarket - processed, refined, denatured, added to, and generally poisoned with preservatives, additives, artificial colourings, artificial sweetening, and even artificial flavourings. And at least with Maccers you don't have to do the cooking! The fruit and vegetable sections aren't much better really because such a lot of it is harvested unripe. I also think the prices are a disgrace considering what a fantastic food growing climate we have here. If there's one in your city, try and get to a weekly farmer's market to stock up on fruit and veges. If you live in an area where there are market gardens and orchards try and get produce direct from the grower. If you don't have a vegetable garden and a couple of fruit trees handy in your neighbourhood, consider starting one. Its not too hard to do - I'll grab you a link to our Matakite Maori Natural Living page, and from there you'll be able to find some other groups and links to help you get started. And don't overlook gathering wild kai - puha, watercress, blackberries in season - even if you end up freezing them they'll still add great flavour to smoothies and things.

When I say that eating raw foods is the cure for what ails you, I'm serious. I've had some 30 years experience of using foods and juices for healing all sorts of conditions. Being tired and run down myself got me started. Just three days on raw foods had me bouncing with energy again, and that's something every young mother needs heaps of. Since then I've seen miracle results and the complete reversal of serious illnesses. The evidence is there, and if you can't believe in Maori Miracles that's ok, because the science is there too!

And no, you don't have to be stuck with rabbit food to eat raw - I'll talk about some easy ways to do it in future posts. In the meantime, rip into a bag of apples - they're cheap, and if your teeth aren't up to it, get the grater out, add some cinnamon and enjoy. If you want to start a detox, just munch on apples for a day. That'll give you a good start.
