Find Your Soul Food. Because that DOESN’T mean eating the way you did when a kid. There’s way more to it. At least, there can be.
Find Your Soul Food because… Results can greatly improve your life. Ridiculously easy, getting those results!
Basically, you won’t just improve your relationship with food. You’ll upgrade your glow. And that’s just the start of describing how big a difference it can make, eating YOUR soul foods.
Imagine This
Yes, imagine that you’ve learned which are your personal Soul Foods. Maybe it’s two kinds, maybe three.
After you gain that self-knowledge… What can you do in order to benefit?
On occasion, you learn a new recipe from a cookbook. Or you’ll go out to a restaurant that serves one of your soul food cuisines.
Mostly though, all you do is add some simple ingredients to everyday meals. These send a definite signal to your mouth (and your soul).
Which kind of signal are you sending to your own Soul Expression for this lifetime, simply through choosing to eat the Soul Food way?
That’s my kind of eating! Ah!!!
As a result of eating your Soul Food regularly, what happens? You’re likely to gain definite benefits for your quality of life. (For specifics, keep reading.)
First, Though, What Does “Soul Food” Mean?
In Energy Spirituality™, Soul Food has a very specific meaning.
Before you were born, you made a Life Contract for this lifetime. Some aspects are for life, while mostly your life depends on you. How will you use of free will?
What’s for Life? Versus What Can You Change with Your Free Will?
Already you probably have a good idea. Should you have questions about that…
COMMENT below and ask.
You do know that this founder of Energy Spirituality will respond to just about any question you might ask.
Avail yourself of the opportunity. Up to you!
For Now, Suffice It to Say
Two or three kinds of Soul Food are hardwired into your soul expression.
- Which ones?
- Are those answers obvious? Hardly.
Here’s where a particular Energy Spirituality research specialty can make all the difference: Soul Food Aura Research.
More Specifically? Sure
If you’re like clients I’ve helped to “find your soul food,” guess what? Two, or maybe even three, different cuisines that would count as your personal soul food.
Yes, what’s meant here is a cuisine, or style of cookery. Such as:
- Indian food
- Peruvian food
- Persian food
- Chinese food
- Mexican food
Certain seasoning combos are the tipoff. Also, particular ingredients. (More on that to come, so you might wish to flag what you’ve just read.)
Once You Find Your Soul Food, What Changes?
Since I’ve been helping clients to find their own 2-3 kinds of soul food, they’ve had wonderful results.
For instance, benefits like these can happen:
- Greater mental clarity
- Waking up happier and staying happier
- Even, sometimes, weight loss
- Physically feeling more vigorous, more alive
- Accelerated personal development
- Spiritual awakening, and other accelerated progress toward Enlightenment
- More rapid evolution within Age of Awakening Enlightenment
To Be Clear, What Does NOT Count as Soul Food
By all means, COMMENT below and share your ideas about what does — or doesn’t — count as Soul Food.
For example: Ketchup? Mustard?
Hey remember how I’ve encouraged all you Blog-Buddies to COMMENT below? Making this blogpost highly interactive. As usual! COMMENT about anything related to this soul food topic.
So take some wild guesses. What do you think doesn’t count as Soul Food?
Is this an educational blog or what!
Best of All, Once You Have Learned about Your Personal Soul Food…
Following up Is So Easy
Once you know which are your personal Soul Foods:
Now, and for the rest of your life, you’ll know how to make yourself happier. Food-wise.
Regarding ways to follow up:
Restaurants. Once a year or so, you might go to a restaurant that specializes in that kind of cuisine.
Cookbooks are a brilliant resource. If you don’t know how to cook, maybe it’s time to learn. Otherwise, you might have a special someone in your life who’d be willing to cook for you. Tip: Start with a beginner’s cookbook for that style of cuisine. A good quality cookbook, with excellent reviews.
Ingredients and Seasonings. Because every cuisine has certain spices or herbs or vegetables or ingredients that are commonly used.
Condiments. Every cuisine has some. These can add instant Soul Food sparkle to your plate. Keep ’em in your refigerator and bring them out to sprinkle some joy into your breakfast oatmeal, etc.
What Happens DURING a Session to Find Your Soul Food?
These sessions work a little bit like Soul Thrill® Aura Research, except for the array of chakra databanks involved.
Definitely, expect an aura research session.
Rather than booking a session of Energy Spirituality ENERGY HEALING.
Or seeking help from Empath Empowerment® Coaching.
Or booking a session dedicated to Enlightenment Teaching.
Also unlike coming to me to learn Face Reading Secrets®. For instance, Soul Foods are not written in tiny script around each nostril. ;-)
PREPARING for a Session to Find Your Soul Food
Simply make a list of different types of possible Soul Foods. What think you?
After all, YOU are the expert on your human life. My expertise involves skills that I’ve cocreated for personal development, spiritual awakening, etc.
Sure, I might come up with suggestions, possibly. But let’s remember:
- Energy Spirituality sessions are nothing like a psychic reading.
- Nor are Energy Spirituality sessions anything like psychotherapy.
But you knew that, right? For instance, we’ll talk Human Talk. Rather than Energy Talk, Cosmic Talk, or Psychology Talk.
So have fun with making your list. Soul Food Aura Research is such an adventure.
Certain kinds of information come up that you’re unlikely to learn in any other kind of Energy Spirituality™ session.
More Questions that You Might Want to Ask
Perhaps some of you will COMMENT away with your own results, your own soul foods. Also, do you have stories to share about results from this kind of session? That could add a great deal to our Comment Conversation here.
All you you might choose to ask questions like these:
- How did Rose discover Soul FOOD Aura Research?
- What makes this different from Soul THRILL® Aura Research?
- Which resource helps you to evaluate the effect of different foods on your life?Would that be Soul FOOD Aura Research OR Soul THRILL® Aura Research?
- Suppose that you’re an empath? How can discovering your personal Soul Foods benefit you?
- How many personal sessions does it take to find your Soul Food?
As always, everybody, thanks for reading. I’m looking forward to our Comment Conversations about this spiritually delicious topic.
The feel-good kind of beliefs do feel good, but I think what you’re saying seems true.
It means we have to pay attention more to our lives and what we’re doing, otherwise we could possibly fool ourselves.
Or other people could fool us and waste our time, like if we were in a relationship with a pothead or something.
Past-life regression sessions sound so interesting, I hope to experience that some day!
I hope my angel team is not exhausted at my life review. :D
MADELINE, thank you for these wonderful reflections.
Your Comment #204 really did make me laugh out loud. Talk about the ultimate in consideration!
Besides, far as I know, astral beings, like members of your angel team, don’t get exhausted. Same with Divine Beings, like Kwan Yin.
If you don’t have a human-type body, or other animal type body, here at Earth School? Then you’re not going to get physically tired, right?
Thank you for answering my questions, Rose!
I’ve now found my soul foods, thanks to my session with you this past week! Re-reading this post and all the comments was fascinating. I’m really looking forward to making each of my soul foods part of my everyday life!
Easy to do, ANNE, between keeping condiments in your fridge, using a seasoning like “Peruvian Spice Blend,” getting a beginner-level cookbooks, and/or going out to restaurants that celebrate your soul food-type cuisine.
I loved that story about Sam and the Italian food research, Rose! (Comments #174-178).
I really absolutely love this kind of thing that happens with Energy Spirituality often. Sometimes in a more concentrated way, like in your Sam story.
You get to find out more about who you really are, and it’s NOT the thing you were afraid you were.
At least that’s how it is for me…. when I find out more of the truth of who I am, it’s someone I like, which is such a relief.
Delicious insights, JANICE H.
Especially I celebrate this part:
I would really like to understand my food cravings. Can soul food tell us anything about that?
If you eat your soul food does that cut down on cravings? I have such a sweet tooth. Is that because I have a sweet soul?
Joking or maybe not joking.
Soul food research is NOT going to solve that problem for you, CALIFORNIA GIRL. Sorry.
A session or two with a good nutritionist might be all you need to balance your diet for your particular system, given what lab tests show about possible imbalances.
Whichever types of food are recommended for you, in whichever amounts, that can be perfectly compatible with the added bonus of learning about your personal soul foods for this lifetime.
Once you know which two or three soul foods you have, eating that way is related to CUISINE, not necessarily ingredients at all.
Keep around some condiments, herbs, spices, oils, etc. related to each of these soul foods. Most meals, you’ll just add a bit of that kind of seasoning. No need to change everything else.
You know, the way some folks add ketchup to every meal. Or salsa with green tomatoes. Or mango chutney.
Find out what lights you up, aura-wise, related to soul food. Then you’ll be on your way.
Could barbecue sauce be my soul food?
All you need is one kind of soul food, right?
Good to hear from you, BUTCH. I’m glad you’re starting to think about soul food.
But barbecue sauce is not a cuisine, a style of food. Mostly, might I suggest…
Barbecue sauce is a delivery for sugar and salt, plus whatever other yummy-tasting flavor-enhancing chemicals have been included by the manufacturer.
* We can eat for sheer entertainment. (Maybe not so good for our health, long term.)
* Or we can eat for nutrition. (Smart, since how you eat today could impact your quality of life 20 years from now.)
Fortunately, we can eat our soul foods — including at least one relevant seasoning or ingredient or condiment every meal — and we can also make that meal NUTRITIOUS.
I feel divided about doing this kind of research with you. It sounds like it could be wonderful but I’m also worried about something.
I’m pretty sure that all my soul foods will be from Asia. I’m from Indiana and then what will I do?
I’m scared that I’ll fit in worse than ever. What if my friends invite me over for lunch and I have to say “I’m sorry, I don’t eat that. My soul foods are Chinese and Korean?”
If my hunch is right then my soul foods have a lot of rice and noodles, like just about every meal. But these are foods where, once I start eating them I can’t stop.
What if I don’t have enough willpower to eat my soul food?
I’d feel like I flunked out of being a spiritual person.
Oh, CRYSTAL, fear not.
First of all, any time you’re tempted to solve problems through “willpower,” know that’s a losing strategy.
Based in my experience with facilitating sessions of Energy Spirituality, there’s not such thing as “willpower.” There’s just pushing, shoving, forcing ourselves, and straining.
Although that kind of thing could bring short-term it has no significant connection to either your free WILL nor the appropriate use of POWER.
If you can’t stop eating noodles and rice, banish them from your home. (And if you live with others, ask them to support you in this way.)
For means that depends on noodles, rice, or pasta, you can learn to substitute foods that suit you better.
Personally, I love to substitute homemade broccoli sprouts. (Alfalfa sprouts could work fine too.) Folks use chopped, raw cauliflower. Or you could steam some cabbage just enough to be soft and sweet, then chop that fine.
As for your idea about which kinds of food are your soul food, meaning no disrespect, don’t expect that to be valid. When I facilitate sessions with soul food research, nearly always, my clients start off by researching cuisines that aren’t soul foods at all.
We still find soul foods, 2 or 3 per client. That’s the result of researching many ideas, mostly ideas that my clients come up with after letting go of their pet ideas that aren’t, actually, their soul foods.
Finally, guess what else I’ve found out about soul foods, CRYSTAL ANDERSON? Generally there will be one soul food per CONTINENT. It’s a big world, food-wise. It’s a bigger world than many of us think, when it comes to the great cuisines of the world.
I’m a vegetarian, okay. To me that counts as the ultimate soul food.
Do you do your research differently when somebody is a committed vegetarian?
GEORGE, thanks for asking.
Actually, “vegetarian” is not a kind of food. As you know since you’re a vegetarian!
You can eat with just about every cuisine in the world and not eat meat.
Only there is one thing I would do differently, toward the start of your Soul Food Aura Research:
Let’s begin by researching the kind of vegetarian you are right now.
Let’s research the impact of that on a range of your chakra databanks. You might be in for a big of a reality check.
But the point of food choices is not to feed your ideology, right?
Let’s find out which food choices help you to feel more alive, enjoy your love life more, accomplish more in career, grow in your emotional life. Soul Thrill® Aura Research and, also, Soul Food Aura Research can bring you a ton of useful information for a better life.
When I had my session with you about Soul Food, I found out which ones are mine. It was great.
For a couple months I was adding a few condiments like sauerkraut to my meals. It really did feel great.
After a while, though, I got bored with it. Booooring!
I stopped the whole thing. Do you blame me? I’ve gone back to my old ways.
GWENDOLYN, I think you’ve brought up a really important point. So, no, I don’t blame you one bit.
Maybe I can help you get back to eating your personal Soul Foods.
It’s time to learn a bit more about how cooking in each of these styles of cuisine.
Please, for now, choose your favorite among you three Soul Foods. Now, it’s time to learn more about how to cook in that style.
Find a cookbook for a beginner, cooking in that cuisine.
Amazon.com is really a good resource for that, because so much info is available to you about the various cookbooks being offered. Like, you might search there for “Indian food for beginners.”
Once a week, make a new recipe. Soon you’ll have a personal collection of dishes that aren’t boring to your palate.
Thanks for asking, GWENDOLYN.
Besides your having asked an important question, guess what? Because of you and other Blog-Buddies, we’ll likely cross a new comment conversation milestone in a week or so. :)
Interesting conversation here. Thank you Gwendolyn and Rose.
I still eat the way I was raised.
* Eggs, which I’m sick of.
* Hamburgers, which make me feel guilty.
* Frozen green beans, the only vegetable I can stand. I do cook them before I eat them!
My mother, God rest her soul, was a lousy cook.
I’m boring myself to death. Help.
Welcome to my blog, MICKEY.
Welcome to this comment conversation to all of you who have never learned much about to cook, as well as those of you who are still eating with the tastes of children under 10.
If you’re an adult, your tastebuds work quite differently from when you were younger.
It’s time you gave vegetables a chance, for crying out loud. Learning to prepare food so that it’s delicious is a SKILL, one that you can learn.
But you can start off easily by going to the produce section of your supermarket and finding yourself a new raw vegetable to have, once a week, say.
Discover carrots. Discover kinds of lettuce that aren’t iceberg.
Then buy a bottle of tasty salad dressing, until you’re brave enough to make dressing with good quality olive oil and vinegar.
Just, please, check the label of that brand of salad dressing. If you see sugar, or the equivalent, don’t buy it. Plenty of good products don’t include the equivalent of lollipops.
Currently, MICKEY and maybe some others, it’s time that you learn how to cook. Don’t think of this as an artsy hobby with no relevance to your life.
I believe that how you treat your body today, nutrition included, will shape a good deal of your quality of life 20 years from now.
Plenty of grownups have never learned how to cook.
But grownups who don’t want to live in the past — for instance, adults who still blame Mommy for how they eat — can definitely learn how to cook. Learn as much as you need to until you can give yourself food that’s delish by your standards.
Yes, sometimes I’ve offered that kind of help, though not lately.
Remember September 11, THE September 11, in America? I spent that whole day preparing to teach one of the classes I was offering for Fairfax County Adult Education, a series of basic How to Cook classes.
Given the events of that day, my class was cancelled.
Practical result, I had a house full of food and dishes that I’d prepared for my class that evening. No reimbursement for me…. Obviously, though, I got off easy.
MICKEY, I wish I could introduce you to the students who were in that multi-session class. Quite an assortment, but with one thing in common. They wanted to be able to make a bunch of meals… such as they’d actually find pleasant to eat.
Taking a cooking class can be an excellent way to develop skills. Maybe you’ll discover an adult education class in your neighborhood.
Sometimes newspapers have an annual list of the many cooking classes that will be available. Or use your pal, the Internet, to find local cooking classes that you can take.
A side benefit of these classes is that you might make some cooking buddies. Always aim to find new acquaintances wherever you go, perpetually adding to your friendship list.
Another excellent resource is to browse wisely and then invest in a cookbook. Either search on a cookbook designed for adult beginners or search on one of your soul food cuisines, again including words like “easy” or “beginner.” For instance, open up that last link provided and feast your imagination.
Every new dish that you learn how to cook, ever new food that appeals to your palate as an adult omnivore, every new friend that you make to share cooking with… all this can make a significant difference to your quality of life — and your health — for the rest of your life.
Be adventurous about healthy food, MICKEY and other Blog-Buddies who haven’t yet found your way into cooking. Explore just a little bit every week and soon a more delicious life will be yours.
Thanks for much for your methodical and informative response to my somewhat vague question [earlier], Rose.
You really got to the heart of what I was asking.
Indeed, I have benefitted from Soul Thrill Aura Research, specifically Soul Food Aura Research.
In that session, interesting information did emerge about a particular type of food and how it can support my spiritual growth and courage, related to past lives I lived in a particular country, likely involving spiritual growth and learning.
Later, I did have the opportunity to travel to that country, and I experienced several interesting things.
Some moments were imbued with awe and wonder and some moments I felt like “this feels familiar, like I’ve been here before.”
I didn’t “try” to feel these things, they were spontaneous experiences, and I found them personally meaningful and inspiring.
Still, upon reflection, I didn’t have a particular grand takeaway per se, nor did I think it was prudent to try to seek one out.
One important lesson I’ve learned from Energy Spirituality is to put my attention on my human life: seeking supernatural “signs” can be a fast track to a spiritual side trip.
Still, if there is a particular notion that sticks with me, and inspires me to this day, I would describe it as such:
I’ve had a long history as a soul.
I’ve had successful and unsuccessful lives.
Yet I’ve always learned and grown.
Indeed, even in lives when I’ve tried to achieve something meaningful and it didn’t “work,” and everything seemed like a failure, I don’t think I really failed, from the perspective of my spiritual growth.
Rather those hard learned lessons can help me in future lifetimes, with certain skills and abilities and potential. So that, in my life now, I can strive for success and growth and making my own mark on the world, knowing that spiritual growth and kind actions are never wasted.
And that, even if a civilization falls, and the righteous seem to rebuked (hmm, wonder why I’m thinking of this now), it does not constitute wasted efforts or some nihilistic destruction, not in a spiritual sense.
Because, if we want, as souls, we can come to earth again, give it another shot, and, perhaps, God, or man, willing, get closer to achieving what seemed to be thwarted before, and keep learning and growing and helping in the process.
This wonderful comment from MARK is loaded with wisdom, seems to me.
In the context of Soul Food Aura Research, his experience with going to the country of that cuisine . . . struck me as a useful example.
Some info about your long history as a soul can come out, indirectly, when you have Soul Food Aura Research.
