Fermented foods are one of the basic foods we used to have long before refrigeration became the norm. Refrigeration keeps the foods from spoiling. Fermentation preserve the foods and at the same time increase its nutritional value. One of the best fermented food is milk kefir, your indispensable health drink.

Probiotics - kefir

There are about 100 trillion microorganisms in the typical persons intestines. These microorganisms are commonly known as intestinal flora but the proper name is "intestinal microbiota" as flora refers to the plant world. The natural foods folks use the term probiotics, a word that was coined to be the opposite of antibiotics!

Bacteria make up most of this intestinal flora of which there are about 500 species and plus some fungi and protozoa. The relationship between the flora and the individual is mutual symbiotic relationship.

You can live without any flora in your gut but you won’t be very healthy. Some of the functions of the flora provides are:
1. Fermenting carbohydrates.
2. Preventing the growth of other harmful species of bacteria, molds, etc..
3. Training the immune system.
4. Producing vitamins.
5. Producing hormones.

Kefir

The probiotic food that I prefer most is “kefir”, and we eat it in our home nearly every day, usually in with our muesli or a breakfast smoothie. Kefir is a bacterial culture made up of an assortment of creamcolored cauliflower-like things. It is a scoby, (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast), producing a rich assortment of about 35 types of friendly probiotic bacteria and yeasts. The original grains are more than 5000 years old originating either from the Caucasian Mountains or monasteries in Tibet. The nomadic peoples of the Caucasus region mixed cow, goat or sheep’s milk with kefir grains in a leather bag and hung it in the sun in the doorway of the tent. It was regularly touched by everyone passing in and out, to keep the milk and the grains mixed.

The kefir grains ferment the milk at normal room temperatures turning it into a rich assortment of beneficial probiotics. The beneficial kefir is strained from the grains and can be used in smoothies, in place of yogurt or just consumed as it is. It is recommended that you consume half a cup to a full cup a day. The grains grow and multiply; ours double in size every 14 to 21 days. The excess grains can be given to friends or even eaten.

In ancient times in the Caucasus, the grains were known as the “Grains of the Prophet” and prized as much as the family jewels. They were jealously guarded. It was considered to have magical properties and strict religious law forbade it being given to non-believers. Kefir means “good feeling” in Turkish.

When Russia took control of the Caucasus, Russian doctors saw first hand the successful use of kefir inthe treatment of tuberculosis, intestinal and chronic diseases. Although Russians working in Caucasuswere able to occasionally drink kefir, kefir grains were impossible to get. A quantity of it was “stolen” by a Russian woman called Irina in the pay of the Russian doctors. She used her charms to seduce a local prince and returned to Russia with a single cup of grains in 1908. It became part of the healing modality of Russian medicine for all kinds digestive and stomach problems and other illnesses. It is thought that most of the current strains around the world originate from that single cup of grains.

Consuming kefir has many benefits. It has been found to be an effective immune stimulant and antimicrobial against a wide variety of harmful bacteria. Kefir has been used to treat metabolic disorders, atherosclerosis, allergic disease, tuberculosis, cancer and other gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS. It is also associated with longevity. Kefir contains has an abundance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. These include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B2, and B12, vitamin K, A and D. It also contains the amino acid L-tryptophan that helps sleeplessness.

Many of us have difficulty digesting milk (lactose intolerance). The sugar in milk is very sticky and can cause mucus and other digestive problems. Having the kefir grains pre-digest the milk and turn it into a form that is more easily absorbed by the body, without the usual problems, is a wonderful way to consume milk.

Kefir is available either from friends or from suppliers in your country. Just search the Internet for a supplier and you can have a small pouch of the grains, with full instructions, sent to you by mail. The tradition is that you cannot purchase the grains as they were a gift from the Gods and are precious living beings. They are normally passed on with love and best wishes for good health. Any payment you make is a symbolic gift and designed to cover the cost of care and shipping.

It is very easy to make at home, and it is best home made as you can choose the best ingredient available. This is for your own consumption!

I use kefir in making my smoothies. But many don’t recommend blending kefir as it would kill most of the beneficial bacteria in it. You may choose to make smoothies in a blender, and just add the kefir just before you drink it, you add the kefir gently and stir with a spoon.

Instructions

What you will need:
1. A glass jar with a lid. Choose a jar that is big enough for your needs.
2. A non-metal sieve/strainer with hole sizes between 2-5 mm.
3. A glass bowl with a rubber spatula.
4. Milk (cow, carabao, sheep, goat) preferably organic.

Making the kefir:
1. Wash the glass jar in hot soapy water and rinse well. Cleanliness is very important.
2. Place the kefir grains in the glass.
3. Fill with the milk but do not overfill. Leave about 10% of the contents of the jar free as kefir
gives off carbon dioxide and you need air above so it does not create too much pressure. The
ratio of grains to milk should be about 1:15-20
4. Put the lid on firmly but not too tightly.
5. Place in place out of sunlight or any direct heat but not a cold room. Near the stove in the kitchen
works well but not too close. Ideal temperature is about 25C.
6. Twice a day gently relieve any pressure by loosening the lid and tightening again (air lock would be good if you have it). Swirl the mixture couple of times to keep it mixed.

Separating the Kefir

1. When the kefir is ready, all the milk will have coagulated around the grains. When you turn the
jar over there is no more milk – only coagulated kefir and whey (the watery part of the milk).
This will take about 48 hours. Put the sieve/strainer in the bowl and pour in the contents of the
jar into the sieve gently.
2. Allow the kefir to flow into the bowl with the grains remaining in the sieve.
3. Gently move the kefir grains with a clean rubber/silicone spatula to aid in the separation.
4. The separated kefir is now ready for use. Until use it can be stored in the fridge. The grains
remaining in the sieve are then used to make more kefir.
5. Wash the jar in which you made the kefir in with warm soapy water, and make more kefir as
explained above.
6. Use the kefir in smoothies, on cereals or just drink it plain!

Adjusting the strength.

The sourness of the kefir mixture can be altered by changing the length of time fermenting, changing the ratio of grains to milk, or the temperature. I prefer to keep to the 48-hour time frame and a constant temperature, changing only the amount of the grains in the jar. They multiply anyway and have to be reduced from time to time so this is normal thing to do.

1. If too sour then remove some of the grains and move the rubber band marker down so you use
less grains the next time. Each time you make the kefir remove any excess grains above the rubber bank marker. Store the excess in watered down milk in the fridge and passed it on to friends with love and best wishes for their health plus making sure you receive a small symbolic gift or payment in return.

2. If the taste is not sour enough, reduce the amount of milk until the amount the taste is too your
liking. Maintain this ratio as the grains multiply.

Dos and Don’ts!
1. Always treat the grains gently.
2. It is beneficial to wash the grains from time to time in cool water. Do not wash grains using
chlorinated water - use filtered or distilled water.
3. If you have too much kefir or are going on vacation, then store the grains in watered down milk
in the fridge. They may take a few days to get back into their rhythm.
4. You can store grains in your freezer indefinitely. Wrap the grains in some paper towel together
with a little dried milk powder and place in the freezer.
5. Cleanliness is very important.
6. Always pass excess grains onto friends.

High Vibrational Bodies and The Dogma of Belief Around Food

I am having a direct experience – through my own attention to healing my own body – of all the absolute untruths surrounding beliefs about what is actually healthy for the human body. People like to lump everyone in one category, one belief system, one way of being and then they judge, belittle and even shame those who don’t eat exactly the way they do.

In the spiritual circuits if you eat animal protein you are labeled “not highly evolved” or “low vibration”. Then if you go vegetarian – that’s not good enough for the Vegans. Vegans feel we should not eat any animal products which means no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no sea vegetables (because they are full of tiny animal life forms such as plankton and tiny crustaceans). Then if you go vegan that’s not good enough for the “Raw Foodies” because everything must be raw, uncooked, unpasteurized. Then if you are “super special” you can work really hard to go against the design of the human body and become a “breatharian” where you eat no food and oftentimes no water solely living on prana or life force – this is an extreme lifestyle indeed.

The truth is that everyone is different. No two bodies are the same, just like no two souls are the same. If you want to attain truth, you must find it “within yourself” and that means silencing all the egoic, dogmatic beliefs that have been projected onto you from others, which creates great confusion within your being to tune into YOUR own body to see what is healthy and appropriate for YOU.

The body speaks. We just don’t listen until we get sick and have to start paying attention to what our bodies need. By that time illness has manifested so strongly within us it will take extreme dedication and perseverance to heal ourselves – and that will require major lifestyle changes. The biggest issue many of us will face is releasing our beliefs about food and self denial. Ignorance and denial about our unhealthy lifestyles and refusing to create change leads to a slow su***de and it is also a reflection of our own lack of self love.

A high vibrational body is a body that is thriving. But lets not forget that we also have an emotional body, a mental body, a soul body and a spiritual body and it is the cumulation of these bodies that are a direct reflection of our vibrational frequencies. Our vibrational frequencies will be extremely low if we are eating an all raw food diet but we are allergic and unable to properly digest the raw foods we are eating – not to mention we are absolutely miserable with our new way of eating. In addition, if you are a raw foodie or vegan and you elevate yourself above others, pass judgment, belittle and project angry outburst towards others because they are eating foods you do not approve of – you are fully in your egoic consciousness. Your ego is trying to control others and you are not honoring other people’s free will to listen to “their” body to decide for themselves which foods are nourishing and life affirming for their souls journey while in a physical body.

These kind of egoic, controlling behaviors – forced upon others – will clog up our chakras and send us into a deep emotional and mental energetic tornado that will keep us from being able to access the love and wisdom from our souls and spiritual bodies. In addition, all the negativity we have created within ourselves will attract negative thought form energies to us that will feed off of our negative energies circulating in our energy fields. We live in a very parasitic, energetic, multidimensional environment – so it would behoove us to be very cautious of the kind of emotional and mental energies we are releasing and “feeding” to those energy forms externally of ourselves who love to stir up drama, chaos and arguments between humans so they can get fed. A very important question to ask ourselves is not “what are other people eating” but “WHAT AM I FEEDING IN THE ASTRAL REALMS OF MY BEING?”

Unless we are a doctor, teacher, nutritionist, health coach, healer or naturopath – who has clients coming to us asking for guidance – we should not be interfering in other people’s food choices outside of our own homes. Food and all the toxic things we ingest are wonderful learning tools and they provide very profound experiences for us to discover what supports our bodies or destroys them. What another person chooses to ingest and experience is none of our business!

As the planet increases in vibrational frequency, our bodies are becoming highly sensitive. We are being asked to really connect with our bodies and ground ourselves fully into the physical dimension so we can heal ourselves. If we are ungrounded, our root chakras will be unbalanced and we will have health problems. The root chakra is our foundational chakra and it needs our support. Ingesting healthy foods, connecting with our bodies and being fully present in the NOW moment of what is going on within our bodies will help us nurture our root chakras. If we are out of body all the time – not grounded into the present moment – we will be unconscious and completely unaware of the core sensations our bodies are sending us and we will also be unconscious of the foods and substances we ingest that are making us sick.

We are being called forth to purify, cleanse and only interact with those things that support our ascension journeys. We are being called to release old addictions, toxic foods, negative behavioral patterns and all things that do not enhance our LIGHT. Go within and really connect with your body. Start talking to it. Let your body know you are ready to support its ascension process and ask your body to send messages to you when you have ingested something it does not agree with. Every one of us – due to the modernization of our diets – have food/substance intolerances and sensitivities that need to be addressed. Begin the process of gaining food wisdom – not food dogma. The way is within – you are the key. Healer heal thyself.

Suggestions:

1. Eat as many living, raw, organic life force filled foods as you can. Educate yourself about GMO’s and the benefits of eating organic. Organic is the best choice because it is not a GMO food, nor does it have chemicals sprayed on them. GMO free labeled foods would be the next best option- but they most likely have been sprayed with excessive chemicals. Consider growing your own garden for the freshest safest foods.

2. Purchase a water filter that you can afford. Put loving words on your water bottles to infuse the water with positive vibrations. Bless it and drink lots of water. Water is the best detoxifier.

3. Have blood work done to check for parasites, candida overgrowth, hormone imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, liver and kidney function, cholesterol levels, inflammation levels etc… Also see what your blood type is and eat right for your blood type. Not everyone is meant to be a vegetarian and some people should not eat animal proteins. Eat right for your blood type – this IS a genetic factor. People who are born into a Hindu family have the genetics of a Hindu and therefore do best on a vegan diet.

4. Work with someone who can assist you with an herbal total body cleanse. This is a journey and could take many months to complete. Recommended cleanses: Liver, Kidney, Colon, Heavy Metal, Parasite (trust me you have parasites!), candida etc…

5. Get educated about juicing. The pasteurized juice we purchase in the store is not healthy for anyone. Purchase a juicer and make your own juice that is full of life force energy, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. All natural juice – consumed immediately after it has been prepared – is very healing and regenerative when you juice what is appropriate for your body. Juicing foods that your body has a reaction to is UNHEALTHY as it will create inflammation in your body.

6. Learn about food allergies and histamine levels in food. Currently, many people are having problems with their thyroid, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, depression, inability to sleep, histamine intolerance etc. These problems stem from naturally occurring chemicals in foods being released into our bodies that our bodies do not have appropriate enzyme production to break down – most likely from leaky gut syndrome due to a build up of toxic foods/GMO’s/toxic chemicals etc. A lot of the foods people are having reactions to are “healthy vegetarian foods” such as beans, soy, nuts, strawberries, pineapple, spinach, avocado, grains, eggplant, tomatoes, fermented foods including alcohol etc… Just because a food is healthy does not mean it is healthy for you.

7. Check with your doctor first and periodically engage in fasting. If you have major health problems perhaps a 7-day all raw food cleanse, a soup cleanse or a 3- day all natural juice cleanse would benefit you. If you are healthy, a 3 – day water fast or more is incredibly healing. Tune into yourself and do some research to see what would work best for you.

8. Chew your food. Chew until it becomes liquid, your body will spend less time trying to digest food and will have more energy to heal and repair other things in the body instead of spending all of its time digesting unchewed food. This is much harder than you think. Try it and see how often you have to force your throat to not swallow unchewed food. This is a very common, unhealthy behavioral pattern most people are unaware of that will require great effort and self awareness to correct.

9. Consider practicing “12 hour fasting” or “intermittent fasting.” When you wake up in the morning, count how many hours you slept and were without food. Perhaps 8? Then add 4 more hours onto that time period to make a 12 hour period where you have fasted and have only had water to drink. Then for the remaining 12 hours eat a healthy diet that is appropriate for you. 12 hours of fasting and 12 hours of healthy eating. This gives your body 12 hours everyday to spend its time healing, regenerating and repairing itself instead of digesting food.

10. Become aware of everything you put on and in your body. Eliminate as many toxic items as you can. Consider soaps, shampoos, lotions, sunscreen, toothpaste, makeup, deodorant, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning materials, pharmaceuticals, recreational drugs, sugars, salts, spices, caffeine, alcohol. Obviously, some things are easier to release than others. Sometimes a good cleaner is better than the natural ones but eliminate as many toxic items from your being as possible and use them in moderation if at all.

11. Become conscious of radiation from cell phones, computers, t.v.’s, microwaves, etc….we can’t escape these electromagnetic waves but we can reduce them. Baking Soda baths periodically are helpful at removing excess radiation from our bodies. Add 1 Cup of baking soda to your bath water.

12. Dry Brushing: Get a soft body brush and brush your skin towards your heart. This will remove dead cells from the body that clog our pores and block us from releasing toxins in our skin. Also, sit in a sauna several times a week to purge the skin of excessive histamine, toxins and fluid.

13. Don’t forget about your other bodies!

– EMOTIONAL BODY: Take care of your emotional body – process through your old pain and stop interacting with anything that generates an “unnecessary” negative emotional response in you. That might mean you need to limit or release Facebook, Twitter, T.V., News, Horror movies, people and places that don’t support you and your growth. Human egos and human shadows are everywhere and these aspects of ourselves have energies attached to them that need to get fed. These external energies that are attached to our egos will purposefully stir up drama….they are hungry and need food. If you do not have control over your emotional body it is best to stay away from these “carefully designed triggers” that will create vulnerability in you. Work on your own ego/shadow consciousness – allow others to be themselves so you can set yourself and them free. Stay focused on your own healing and release the need to get involved in human drama that is very prevalent in social media/tv etc.

– MENTAL BODY: Remain in control of your thoughts. Keep them focused on what you want. Don’t get absorbed about thinking about others and their problems – they are divine beings who are learning through their own soul lessons. Your point of power is in the here and now focused on your ability to do good in the world. Focus on your own shadows, growth, healing and transformation that you need to work on – the ego will try to distract you and get you to focus on others. This is a waste of your precious life force energy and will greatly distort your mental body – because in reality you can not change others. You can only change your self.

– SOUL BODY: Meditate. Spend time with your soul. Strengthen your relationship with your inner being. Call back your soul fragments. A high vibrational being is one who is in their power. If you have soul fragments that have broken off due to trauma or because you have been misbehaving and living in your ego – your soul has not wanted to experience that so portions of your soul will break away or fragment from your being. You need to retrieve your soul fragments so you can be whole and happy. Soul loss = lost power and lost energy. It also leaves holes in the aura where other energies can come in and take up residence. Soul retrieval is very important. You can go to a healer who can retrieve your soul parts and bring them back to you or you can start living a life in alignment with your soul and your soul fragments will slowly return to you when they feel safe. Everyday you can state: ” Creator, I ask for any soul fragments that I may have left somewhere else to please be removed from where they are – returned to your light for purification – and returned to me. I also ask for any soul fragments that are not mine that are in my energy fields to please be removed from me – returned to your light to be purified – and returned to who they belong to. Thank you, it is done.” This request must come from your heart and you also need to be doing your best to live from your soul and not from your ego.

–SPIRITUAL BODY: The only thing your spiritual body needs from you is for you to allow it to merge with your lower bodies – physical, emotional and mental – so these bodies can be purified and raise in vibrational frequency. This will require you to get real with yourself – to face the self and to have the desire to truly know the self. That means you must pull yourself out of denial. As we face God, we face the self. The ego will do everything it can to keep you from facing the self – so much so – it will have you completely consumed with other people’s lives and what they are doing. This is a distraction and it will keep you from focusing on the the things within your self that need to be healed because you are too busy focusing your attention externally of your self.

So as you can see – what we eat is just a portion of what creates good health and a high vibration. I don’t focus on what people should eat because that is a highly cultural, genetic and free will choice that is up to each soul to decide what is appropriate for their unique body and their unique living environments. Some of the most grounded, spiritually connected, animal loving, profoundly healing people in the world are the Reindeer people in Siberia. They are way beyond us in vibrational frequency and live totally aligned with nature and the spiritual dimensions. They raise, herd, live with and eat reindeers…they use all of the animal with great respect and appreciation in order to sustain themselves in the blistering cold climates they live in. They would most likely laugh at the ridiculous dogmatic beliefs us “modern people” have created such as “you must be a vegetarian or a vegan in order to be a high vibrational spiritual being” or “you don’t love animals if you eat them” (I guess that means people who eat plants don’t love trees, plants, the Earth or flowers either?) If we are open, we can learn a lot from the reindeer shamans. They deeply respect all life including their own needs for survival and they do not go against the laws of creation – they work with them. They listen to their own intuition and that of Spirit to guide them and they eat what they need in order to sustain their lives.
