Raise Your Psychic Energy with Food

I have been tossing around the concept of whether or not to be a Vegetarian (and maybe even a Vegan) for months. Recently, I listened to Doreen Virtue talking with Lisa Williams on blogtalkradio.com. Doreen said that not all people are called to be Vegan. She said that if you require a very high vibration level, high enough to channel spirit like she does, you may want to consider it.

For me, my main reasons to stop eating meat are... 
(1) to raise my spiritual vibration to a higher level for a better connection to my Spirit Team, and 
(2) because I learned how bad raising meat for consumers is for our environment, and
(3) I disagree with the poor, abusive treatment of living animals.

My problem is that I've always been able to loose weight and maintain a healthy BMI by eating a low-carb diet with at least one-third protein per meal. Since cutting meat out of my diet 95% of the time, I've gained 15 pounds. So, now I'm trying to eat more fish and shellfish (still not perfect) to replace the mammals, plus adding more nuts and beans - and I'll let you know...

Why would meat lower your Psychic Energy?
My facebook friend, Michael Banuelos (who's a Vegan) reminded me that you can raise the energy of the food you eat through blessings and gratitude.
But, here are some other considerations:

• Animal protein might carry a negative energy because of how the animal was mistreated in the months and hours before you put it in your mouth, which you absorb.
• Animal protein is bad for our environment, producing more greenhouse gasses than automobiles.
• Animal protein may be polluted with hormones, antibiotics, and carcinogens.

Other foods that have a tendency to 
lower your Psychic Energy are:

• Processed Foods, especially those with flours, sugars, high sodium, (most "white foods") and chemical additives.
• High sugar foods
• 
• Alcoholic beverages.
• Some say cheesy, dairy foods can leave you feeling spiritually clogged.

Foods that raise your Psychic Energy, 
(your spiritual vibration) are:

• Raw, natural fruits and vegetables.
• Foods that have been blessed, given gratitude, and prayed over.
• Top Power-Foods, including almonds, barley, beans, blueberries, cabbage, garlic, kale, oats, pumpkin, salmon and Greek yogurt.
• Super-Foods highest in nutrient density:
• 

We all know what the best for us foods are. 
Those are the same that will raise our Psychic Energy.

Here's a tip: 
If there is a certain food that makes you feel especially great, then try not eating for a few hours before your next session with your Spirit Team, except for that one food right before connecting. 
See if the spiritual communication is stronger and clearer.
