The Most Magical, High-Vibrational Foods
a few years ago, I was going through a massive uplevel. I had recently exited a very traumatic relationship. Well, the relationship itself wasn’t so traumatic, but the breakup was. It left me desolate and desperate. I was completely broken and every bit of pain & shame I had ever experienced was fresh on my mind.
In a way, that breakup was almost like a little death for me.
I feel like I was reborn afterwards. Even though the year that followed was TOUGH, it laid the foundation for who I am today.
During that year, I experimented a lot. Not with drugs or same sex relationships, but with everything wellness & new age spirituality. I did more modalities of therapy than I can count, I learned hypnotism, I went to psychics, I started doing breathwork and expanding my meditation modalities, I became obsessed with astrology, I tried kundalini yoga and went on ayahuasca retreats.
A lot of the things that I experimented with during that phase fell off. I no longer see physics, do moon rituals, or go on plant medicine retreats.
But one thing that remained was thinking of the metaphysical energy of foods.
During that year, I remember Nicole Berri posting an IG story where she mentioned the metaphysical energy of foods. She said she loves to eat foods that are rich in chlorophyll because they have the sun’s energy transmuted into food (sorry if i butchered that, i’m sure she said it more eloquently).
Something about this struck me deep.
Ever since, i’ve been obsessed with the energetics of food, and how we can use food to alchemize our lives
I love thinking of everything as energy, and food is no exception. It is literal energy in that we use it to fuel our bodies, but it also holds a more mystical energetic value.
I know this sounds really fucking woo woo— and it is— but hear me out:
which do you think is more high vibe: some wheatgrass freshly harvested from the soil, or a package of chips that were made in a factory, have highly processed ingredients, and are in a highly processed package?
The Energetics
Exploring the mystical and metaphysical aspects of food can be a fascinating journey that delves into ancient traditions, cultural beliefs, and spiritual practices.
Many spiritual traditions believe that everything, including food, emits energy vibrations that can influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Some foods are thought to have higher vibrational frequencies, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, while processed or unhealthy foods may have lower vibrations. By consuming foods with higher vibrations, individuals seek to elevate their own energy and consciousness.
The process of preparing food is often viewed as a form of alchemy, where raw ingredients are transformed through cooking, fermentation, or other methods into nourishing meals that nurture the body and soul. In alchemical traditions, food preparation is imbued with intention, mindfulness, and sacredness, transforming the act of cooking into a spiritual practice that fosters healing and transformation.
One way I like to practice this is to always be mindful of the energy I bring during food preparation. Preparing food is an energy transmission, a form of alchemy. When we approach it with love & good intention, we infuse the foods with that energy.
The other way I like to practice this is by eating foods that I think have a high vibration.
The List
Here are the foods that i think are the most high-vibe & magical, and why:
