The Secret Ingredient of High Vibration Foods
Do you often feel lethargic or lack energy as the day progresses?
Did you know that your food impacts not just your health but your emotional well-being?
Eager to understand what food is best for you?
You can bring in a change by adding high vibration foods to your diet. But this isn’t just limited to the choice of food, but also how it is cooked and consumed. Let’s look at how you can increase the vibration of your existing food choices.
Conscious Cooking
You can increase the vibrations of food just by setting positive intentions and adding more consciousness to your cooking.
Food is your energy intake, which is taken in the form of nutrition and pure energy. It carries energy of the cook and the intention while cooking or serving the food. Here are three simple steps to cook high vibration foods:
- Set intention: Before you begin cooking, let go of your mental blockages at that particular moment. If you are very stressed or depressed, take a moment to pause and let go of all the negative emotions. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and reset or set the intention of health, love, and nourishment.
- Put what you want from your food: If you cook food with stress, chances are that you will pass on the feeling of being stressed to anyone who consumes the food. The impact of this stress varies and can depend on the energy and vibrations of the person consuming it. Add love, happiness, or health while cooking.
- Adopt mindful cooking: Instead of considering cooking as a regular chore, let yourself be fully absorbed in the process of preparing food. It is being in the moment while chopping the vegetables, adding spices, stirring, and every step of the preparation.
Pause Before Eating
Take a pause, and pay gratitude before you begin eating your food. Assimilate the information around the food you will consume- where it came from, who all are engaged in shipping the food to you, and who cooked the meal for you. Take a moment to pay gratitude to the universe or the divine, the people enabling access to your food, and the food itself to nourish you. Gratitude and love add high vibration to food as well as to you.
Mindful Eating
Avoid those lunch meetings at work, turn off the TV, and keep your phone aside while eating food. Mindful eating is focusing on what you are consuming, admiring it, and raising your vibrations. Here are some tips for practicing mindful eating:
- No conversation or happy conversation while eating: While eating food, you are not just consuming the nutrients but also the emotions and energies you are exposed to. Your thoughts convert to reality, and more rapidly so while eating. Avoid discussing issues at work or having ‘brainstorming’ sessions while eating food.
- Savor every bite: Enjoy every bite of your food by practicing mindfulness and being in the moment. Put your attention on your taste buds, how warm or cold the food is, and chew it thoroughly before you let it inside yourself.
- Stop eating when you are almost full: Mindful eating helps you slow down and focus more on the body and the hunger cues. It helps you realize when you are almost full, thus developing healthy eating habits
Conscious Choice of High Vibration Foods
Plant-based Food
High vibration foods are healthy raw food options with high nutritional intake and are easy to digest. Remove all processed and deep-fried/ overcooked meals, and rather adopt a plant-based diet to raise your vibrations.
- Ash Gourd: Drinking a glass of ash gourd juice gives you an enormous amount of positive energy and can also calm your nerves down. Numerous studies have shown that ash gourd detoxifies your kidneys, supports heart functioning, helps reduce weight, and benefits your skin and hair.
- Fruits: Delve into high vibration foods in the form of a refreshing fruit smoothie or juice. Easy to digest food option, you can replace your unhealthy snacking habits between meals with fruits. Adopting a fruit diet can make you visibly more active and support you in brainstorming or creative thinking.
- Dry fruits: Nuts, particularly groundnuts, are also one of the high vibration foods. Power-packed with the goodness of Vitamin E, magnesium, folate, healthy fats, proteins, and goodness of vitamins and minerals, groundnuts contribute to overall health and well-being.
- Sprouts: Sprouts present an excellent choice for a nourishing and high vibration breakfast. The process of sprouting activates enzymes that aid in the breakdown of starch, promoting optimal gut health.
- Honey and Jaggery: Honey is the best replacement for sugar. Rich in enzymes and antioxidants, it is considered to be easily digestible and provides a quick source of energy. Honey is also associated with various health benefits and is used in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties.

- Spices: Cook your food with energizing spices like turmeric, asafetida, and black pepper. An optimal way to add spices is gently sautéing them in olive oil or ghee over low heat, and then incorporating them into steamed vegetables, cooked grains, or soupy dals. Alternatively, you can sauté the spices in ghee or olive oil first and then add raw vegetables, grains, or dal, followed by water, allowing them to cook until tender.
Eat Local and seasonal food
Imagine if your body has to work more to digest certain food types. Local, organic, and seasonal food is easy to digest, making it a high vibration food. This is because the food grown locally includes the same proportion of the 5 elements of life as your body, making it easily digestible and the best fit for your consumption. Additionally, freshly harvested foods are believed to retain more vital energy and nutrients compared to those that have been stored or transported over long distances. Local foods are attuned to the natural cycles of the region, and their consumption is seen as a way to align oneself with the energy of the local ecosystem.
Multigrain diet
Multigrain foods offer a comprehensive nutritional profile, including essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It typically contains a mix of complex carbohydrates and fiber which helps in providing sustained energy release, preventing sudden spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels.
Replace your frozen, packed, or processed food with freshly cooked food
Fresh food offers a higher nutrient density as it retains more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to processed counterparts that may have undergone nutrient loss during storage or processing. Additionally, freshly cooked meals provide a delightful sensory experience with their vibrant flavors, aromas, and textures derived from the use of fresh herbs, spices, and seasonal produce.
