There would always be a numerous articles about watching what we eat and how to stay on our diet during the holiday season. But have we ever considered the amount and kind of food we take in constantly through our sense receptors?
We need to be very careful what food we take in through our eyes, ears, and nose, and what is ingested through what we touch and what touches us.
Whatever we take in through all our senses and gather from the external world ultimately flows into our intellect and our mind, where it is finally chewed and processed. We must be very careful what we ingest. These “foods” decide the fate of our lives; it does not matter whether we are a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, or eat fat, sugar or the latest trend diet.
The Unseen Vibration of the Food We Consume
What material food we eat is not the true decider. The true decider is what kind of vibrational “food” we are eating, chewing, interpreting, and translating in our minds. From a vibrational point of view, what is most important is what is continually coming to us through our senses that we accept in our mind as the ultimate truth.
Are we looking at it from a higher perspective or from a lower perspective? Whatever we hear, see, smell or touch comes to our mind with a completely different interpretation compared to other people who might be sitting in the same space.
When we participate in any conversation that is negative and frightening, we are fueling the fire of negativity through our ears and eyes and ultimately the energy given through our mind. Likewise, our positive inner conversation can ripple over from our mind to the environment and invariably reach the eyes and ears of those who are in our own frequency level of loving and healing thoughts.
We Can Collectively Change and Heal the World
We need to use our thoughts, speech, and smile to heal the world. It is the need of the hour! We have collectively done enough damage through our mindless talks and wrong emotional patterns. Let us heal each other!
Therefore, if we can gradually become more alert to the “food” we ingest through our senses, we can create a unique space in the mind. Then, the mind would be very free from unwanted clutter and unwanted situations. We can now confront troubles with more positive vibrations. If there are fewer environments inside of us that attract the negative, then we do not activate the negative inside of us anymore.
Transforming What We Consume into a Divine Gift
If our inner environment or climate is beautiful and peaceful then when a very difficult situation comes to us through our eyes or ears, we can look at it with our witnessing self. We can observe it, and become detached from it. Then we don’t become overly judgmental as if we are the ultimate judge who decides what is right or wrong.
Our interior world decides what our exterior world will be. If our world inside transforms gradually with daily practice of mindfulness, it will gradually change into a beautiful space. Life will be a celebration! Life will be completely different; something that is purely a Divine Gift, nothing but a Divine Gift to all of us.
The notion that our inner environment reflects in our outer world is a powerful reminder to cultivate positive thoughts and emotions.
The article raises an important point about the influence of our environment on our mental health. It’s not just about what we eat, but also about what we consume through our senses.
Indeed, the idea of sensory inputs as a form of ‘food’ is quite compelling. It broadens the scope of mindfulness to include all aspects of our sensory experiences.
I agree. This perspective encourages us to be more selective about what we allow into our inner world, thereby fostering a healthier mental environment.
The article’s call for collective healing through mindful speech and actions is timely. It underscores the importance of community in fostering mental wellness.
The idea of detaching from negative situations by observing them without judgment is a valuable technique. It can help in maintaining emotional equilibrium.
The article’s emphasis on mindfulness and positive vibrations as a means to heal the world is intriguing. It suggests a collective responsibility for our mental and emotional states.
The concept of ‘vibrational food’ and its impact on our mental state is thought-provoking. It offers a unique perspective on how our sensory inputs shape our inner world.
The transformation of our inner world into a ‘Divine Gift’ through mindfulness resonates deeply. It’s a holistic approach to achieving peace and harmony.
While the article offers an interesting viewpoint, it would be beneficial to see some empirical evidence supporting the impact of sensory ‘food’ on our mental well-being.
