Light Body Fast
Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. (Albert Einstein)
Within the quest for health, vitality, and longevity lies the emergence of the light body - this can be the impetus or the result of a high vibration, raw food diet, or fruitarian lifestyle. If this is your focus it can be inspiring to learn the different qualities and energies of food - the color that corresponds to the organ, gland, or chakra - the energy the food creates when it merges with your physical and energetic self.
The Light Body Fast Detox Model is one of consuming 100% raw fruits, greens, 'veggie fruits,' and some colorful, high frequency vegetables such as beet, carrot, radish, and so on. Interspersed with this diet of raw fruits, greens, and a few vegetables are phases of fasting and intermittent fasting with juice and/or water. This model is powerfully alkalizing, highly electrical, and spiritually charged. This high frequency diet is intended to detoxify, awaken, and regenerate your physical and energetic bodies, from your chakras into your cellular structure. This is the diet lucid dreams, meditation, and manifestation are made of.
'The brain and nervous centers of the body contain the highest energetic or electrical tissues we have. We find that fruits have the highest electrical energy of all the foods. Volt-ohm meters and electromagnetic meters can measure this energy. My own clinical studies have shown that fruits will regenerate brain and nerve tissue, whereas vegetables will not. I have found that, as a rule, fruits are brain and nerve foods as well as the cleaners of tissue. Vegetables are the builders, which are suited for muscle and skeletal tissue. Nuts and seeds are structural foods and are strengthening to the body as a whole. Let’s examine the electromagnetic energy of foods to further understand which foods are key to your regeneration and your vitality. Electromagnetic energy is rated in units called angstroms. The higher the quantity of angstroms a food gives off, the higher the energy of the food. When you eat foods picked fresh from nature, and eat them without cooking or processing them, the high electromagnetic energy of that food is transferred to your body and its cells. This is true with chemistry as well. Chemical compounds and structures are broken down by digestion, and the individual components or elements are then absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. From there they are carried to the liver and to individual cells for energy or restructuring, and the remaining byproducts are then excreted. There is a process called biological transmutation, where the body transforms one energy source into another. This process is not understood well in the health or medical fields. We are just beginning to see more of the picture from quantum physics. It is enough to say that through chemical (oxidation), parasitic, and enzyme action, life is constantly being transformed. According to physics, energy is always being changed—never created or destroyed. The following chart will give you some idea of the electrical output of various foods.
Angstroms and Energy
ENERGY OF HEALTHY FOODS
Fresh raw fruits 8000 to 10,000 angstroms
Vegetables (fresh, raw) 8000 to 9000 angstroms
Milk (fresh, raw) for children under two years of age only. 8500 angstroms
Vegetables (cooked) 4000 to 6500 angstroms
ENERGY OF TOXIC FOODS
Milk (pasteurized) 2000 angstroms
Cheese 1800 angstroms
Refined white flour 1500 angstroms
Cooked meats 0 angstroms
BODY FREQUENCIES
Human (average) 6500 angstroms
Cancer Patients (generally) 4875 angstroms
The importance of the information in this previous chart will become clear when you understand that as homosapiens we need at least 6000 to 7000 angstroms of systemic energy at all times to even begin to smile, no less to be happy and healthy. According to Christopher Bird in his book The Secret Life of Plants, at approximately 4500 to 5200 angstroms, you are more susceptible to cancer or other seriously degenerative issues. Fruits and vegetables that are frozen when fresh will resume the same level of radiation (electromagnetic energy) when defrosted. Refrigerated foods will slowly deteriorate. Bananas are one of the few, if only, fruits that increase in nutrition and sugars, and consequently in electromagnetic energy, after they have been picked unripe. One of the laws of physics in this universe is the law of balance— homeostasis. The lower the energy of the food you eat, the lower your systemic energy becomes. This creates hypoac-tive or underactive tissues. The more energetic the foods are that you eat, the more vibrant and healthy you become. As we increase the energy of the physical body, we lift ourselves up out of despair and disease. This opens the senses to a whole new world of understanding and health. The vitality you can achieve is indescribable; it can only be experienced. The body is a tremendous machine; fully aware of itself, with self-healing and cleaning mechanisms already built in. The body can get so healthy that you don’t even realize that you are using it. No aches, no pains, no weaknesses, only pure energy. If you wish to experience this pure energy you must consume pure energy. It’s that simple. Have vitality, have dynamic energy, have fun … go raw!' (Dr. Morse, Detox Miracle Sourcebook)

When you consume foods of varying spectrums of the rainbow you are ensuring you receive the wide variety of vital nutrition from the fruit and vegetable kingdom. You are also “feeding” your Chakras through the subtle energetics of differently colored food. The chakras have been known in Ayurveda for over 5,000 years as vortices of energy that energize and regulate the glands and organs associated with each one. For example, the root chakra (Muladhara) governs the ovaries and testes and is responsible for creation in its physical sense as well as governs the circulatory system, bones, legs, and feet. It is our grounding chakra, similar to the roots of a tree. While the color red nourishes the subtle body likewise foods that radiate a bright red color or exhibit other characteristics of grounding such as root vegetables and fruit that grows close to the ground. This is just one reason that we crave “heavier” foods, such as baked potatoes or beets when we are feeling too “high” at different levels of detox.
As our bodies become lighter through the purification process it is the subtle energetics of brightly colored fruits and vegetables that we crave, as we are becoming more and more tuned in to the concept of feeding ourselves energetically.
In Ayurveda and other forms of energy medicine, including Chinese Medicine, it is the energetic body that the physical structure is build upon. In both of these systems whenever an imbalance in detected in the physical body it is the spiritual body that is looked to for the source of this imbalance. Once the energetic block or imbalance has been addressed energy can move freely throughout the body and this free flow of chi, prana, universal life force is what supports the health of the organs, glands, tissues, and cells.
As you move up the chakra rainbow the elements become lighter. The root chakra being the element of earth, the second chakra being that of water, the third of fire, the fourth of air, the fifth of ether, and then the crown chakra which relates to Universal Life Force Energy embodies just that, the energy of source connection and does not have a designated element. Likewise, the foods related to the Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara are less physical in nature, and include juices, sunshine, and fresh air. This is the center that reflects the concept of fasting and quite perfectly as fasting is known to induce a tranquil “high” and feelings of spirituality and interconnection.

Chakras and the Rainbow Diet - from Gabriel Cousen's book, Spiritual Nutrition
'It is useful to think about the multi-colored rainbow diet from a phytonutrient point of view. In my book Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet, I correlate these colors with the chakras, beginning with red and the root chakra. Some of the phytonutrients that are associated with the red color are reservatrol, ellagic acid, and quercitin. These are found in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and cherries. For the color orange, we have the carotenes. They are found in mangoes, carrots, apricots, cantaloupe, peppers, squash, sweet potatoes, yams, and pumpkins. Yellow is limonene, found in lemons and other citrus fruits. And then comes green, which has the phytonutrients indole-3-carbinol (very important for preventing breast and prostate cancer), thiocyanates, zeaxanthin, sulforaphane, isothiocyanates, and lutein. Some of these, like zeaxanthin, are famous for protecting the eyes, and particularly for protecting against macular degeneration. The key food sources of these greens are arugula, cabbage, beet greens, collard greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, mustard greens, and watercress. The next is blue—blue is the throat chakra—and the associated phytonutrients are found in blueberries and bilberry. And then we have the third eye, which is more a combination of the purples and indigo, and includes the phytonutrient lycopene and the terpines. Foods containing these phytonutrients are grapes, strawberries, raspberries, and foods with a mixture of colors in between. And finally, the crown chakra is white, and the associated phytonutrients are the allylsulfides and quercitin. These are found in chives, leeks, scallions, garlic, onions, apples, cauliflower, and radishes.
The Concept of the Rainbow Diet:
The vibrations of food are first absorbed visually. The color and arrangement of food create a certain mental and physiological readiness. For example, depending on what foods are displayed, the content and concentration of our saliva changes. This is further augmented by our conscious responses to the aroma and taste of the food. Depending on what qualities of food we need, we become consciously and unconsciously drawn to the tastes, smells, and colors of the different foods. It is to the meaning of the colors of these foods that the Rainbow Diet awareness primarily addresses itself. The awareness of the Rainbow Diet starts with acceptance that all comes from God and is nourished by the God Force. This force has been described as OM, universal prana, universal consciousness, cosmic force, and virtual energy state. It is the primordial vibration from which all has been created. Everything, including our food, has a natural system of harmonics in relationship to this primordial vibration. In the Rainbow Diet system of harmonics, all foods have a vibrational alignment to the seven main chakras and their colors, and these colors reflect the spectrum of the rainbow.
Four Main Principles of the Rainbow DietHere are the four main principles of the Rainbow Diet:
1. Each food, according to its outer color, which is its reflecting surface, can be related to the specific color and energy of a particular chakra.
2. Different-color foods are specific for energizing, balancing, and healing their corresponding color-related chakras.
3. Each color food energizes, cleanses, builds, heals, and rebalances the glands, organs, and nerve centers associated with its color related
chakra.
4. The purpose of the Rainbow Diet is to help balance, on a regular daily cycle, each individual chakra, its associated organs, glands, and nerve plexus, and the chakra system as a whole.

If we think of plant food as condensed, colored sunlight, we can begin to get a better feeling for the concept of the Rainbow Diet. It does not apply to flesh foods, which primarily stimulate the first chakra. It also does not apply to the colors of junk, fast, frozen, microwaved, and irradiated foods. Red candy is not the same as a red apple. Food is the principal interface between us and Nature on the physical plane, and the colors of our foods are Nature’s message or clues about the energy and biomolecular content of the specific color foods she gives us. Through the new paradigm of Spiritual Nutrition, we have arrived at the concept that food is energy as well as material form. The color of food is key to the energy pattern of food and how its biomolecular nutrients will be bonded to specific cells and tissues in our bodies. The color of a food is its signature. As we become sensitive to Nature’s efforts to communicate to us through her beautiful colors, we begin to develop a sensitivity to the particular food colors we are drawn to on a specific day as a key to what food energies and nutrients we need to balance our body. The Rainbow Diet is an acknowledgment of Nature’s effort to communicate with us. It is also a way to use the meaning of this information in an organized fashion to benefit us regularly through our daily intake of food.
By putting foods of various colors over each chakra, the author was able to determine which colors were most enhancing for each chakra. A direct correspondence was found between the colors of foods and chakras – red foods for the red or base chakra, orange foods for the sexual or orange-colored chakra, and so on. Each food peaked in the intensity of the VAS response at its specific color-resonant chakra. The food also showed a positive VAS, although less marked, at the chakra above and below its specific resonant-colored chakra. This interesting finding supports earlier statements that the chakras are linked as a total system. It also suggests that foods of different shades will affect the system slightly differently. Additionally, the spectrum phenomenon is more general rather than limited to the exact frequency of the basic color for each chakra. Because the author was already testing with the concepts of the Rainbow Diet in his mind and enough research has been done to suggest that even in double-blind studies the minds of the subject and the experimenter can affect the outcome, one cannot say that the VAS approach proves the Rainbow Diet concept, but it does give us some support for the intuitive “rightness” of the approach. It also supplies the reader with another major tool for understanding the relationship between our food and our bodies so that we can develop our own individualized diet.
Different color foods act specifically to energize and balance their particular color-coded chakras. By eating the Rainbow Diet in a patterned way, as described in the next section, we see a regular harmonic balancing of all the chakras as one system. Color healing of chakras and their related systems is not a new approach. It was used in the Golden Age of Greece, in the healing temples of Light and Color at Heliopolis, as well as in ancient Egypt, China, and India.1 In the United States, Dr. Edwin Babbitt’s book, The Principles of Light and Color,2 and the more recent classic work by Dr. John Ott, Health and Light,3 have laid a general foundation for the principles of color therapy in this country. Dr. Wurtman’s research in beaming orange into a rabbit’s eyes showed stimulation of the rabbit’s ovarian function, which is connected to the orange second chakra. For centuries, color treatment has been done through different vehicles of light transport, including water charged with sunlight through a colored filter, direct sunlight or other light source treatment through a colored filter on the body or into the eyes, use of colored metals or gems, and of course, colored foods. Color foods have been used for healing persons of different maladies. For example, red food is used for people with low vitality, which fits with low energy in the first chakra. Red foods are also used to treat people with anemia or a deficiency in the blood vitality. This too is associated with the first chakra.
In the Rainbow Diet, however, the focus is not on color therapy as a treatment for disease, but as a natural way through our daily diets to balance and tonify the body, the individual chakras, and the chakra system as a unit. It is for maintenance of health on all levels. That each food relates to a specific chakra in terms of energizing, healing, cleansing, building, and rebalancing the glands, organs, and nerve centers associated with that chakra is different from chakra healing with colored lights, which is primarily an energizing and balancing effect. For example, rose hips, which are red and therefore particularly important to the first chakra, are high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is important for building and maintaining the connective tissue we need for locomotion, heart muscle tone, ligament function, blood vessel integrity, and adrenal function. The adrenals, which energize our fight or flight response, have the highest amount of vitamin C in the body. Our muscle system supplies the locomotion for survival. The first chakra, red in color, is linked to these survival organ and gland systems. Another example is leafy greens, which are coded for the heart chakra. They are high in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which are very important for heart function. (Gabriel Cousins)
