Food is made up of energy—and so are we. In fact everything is made up of energy.

What Are High Vibrational Foods?

If you think about matter, everything has a frequency and vibration—including food. As we take nourishment into our bodies, we benefit from the energy of the food we ingest. Wouldn’t it make sense to choose foods of the highest quality and vibration? By eating these high vibrational foods, you take in their essence and boost your own energy naturally.
High vibrational foods are those that contain a great deal of life force energy of their own. Foods that are grown in a natural, healthy environment with plenty of sunshine and pure water have higher frequencies than processed or junk foods. Fresh foods also have greater vibratory energy than those that have been packaged or altered in any way (pasteurized, homogenized, frozen, etc.).
How the food is prepared and served also influences their energetic frequencies. If a meal is made with love and gratitude it not only tastes better, is resonates with greater power.
Organic food grown in optimal conditions with the absence of chemical pesticides can develop very high vibrations. If you can purchase (or better yet—grow) the following goods as organic you should do so: Apples, Celery, Strawberries, Peaches, Spinach, Nectarines, Grapes, Sweet bell peppers, Potatoes, Blueberries, Lettuce, Kale/collard greens (the “dirty dozen”, these are said to have the highest amounts of pesticides in them). If that’s not possible then the next best thing is to wash your fruits and vegetables thoroughly using 3 percent or food grade hydrogen peroxide. You can put some in a dark spray bottle and spray your produce, then rinse in water. It will help remove pesticides and bacteria that can contribute to low vibrations and ill health.

EAT FOODS THAT INCREASE VITALITY AND REDUCE STRESS
• Organically grown foods
• Fruits freshly picked from trees
• Locally grown foods
• In season
• Pure water

AVOID “FOODS” THAT DECREASE VITALITY AND INCREASE STRESS
• Genetically modified
• Irradiated
• Cooked in a microwave oven
• Refined (white flour, white rice). Processed (all junk food; most snack foods)
• High glycemic. These sugary, starchy foods affect blood sugar levels and weight management
• Hydrogenated (margarine; vegetable shortening, lard)
• Containing additives (chemicals and hormones), preservatives or color dyes
• Artificial sweeteners—all of them
• Coffee whiteners
• Canned

Don’t forget that “You are what you eat”!

Scott Sampson, author, museum curator and actor, plays the character Dr. Scott in the popular PBS series Dinosaur Train. In his new book, How to Raise a Wild Child, Sampson says children are losing touch with nature and it's having an adverse effect on their health.

Tips for getting children out in nature:

1. Storytelling
Storytelling is a wonderful way to convince them to be outdoors. Especially if you share stories from your own youth being outside.

2. Stop the "helicopter parenting"
Let kids have some space. Sit on the periphery, let kids run their own play and only zoom in when necessary — which shouldn't be very often.

3. Stop structuring playtime
From homework to music lessons, a child's life is already too structured. Sampson believes the one time they should have the opportunity to be free of schedules should be during playtime.

4. Lose the screen
The average kid spends 7 to 10 hours a day looking at screens and less than 7 minutes playing outdoors. That's 90% less than what their parents did when they were children.
Sampson invites you to take the 30 x 3 Nature Challenge. Commit to getting your kids out in nature for a minimum of 30 minutes 3 times a week.

5. Nature is everywhere.
Living in an apartment or industrial area should not be an excuse for parents. He says the most important thing is to make sure children don't get overly comfortable on the couch.
“Don't worry about dirt and scrapes. Clothes and bodies can be washed. Cuts heal. Nature connection is a contact sport, and both kids and nature can take it."

"It’s Not What You’ve Got!" – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ($3.99) by Oceanhouse Media is a book that will challenge kids to think about money, abundance and the things that are most important in life. Money is discussed throughout the story, with the premise of the things it can and cannot do in our lives. The message is positive and will encourage kids to think about their own lives, what they want to be when they grow up and to be thankful for the many things they already have. There are questions presented in the book that stimulate thoughts and ideas about life, abundance and money.

“#8 - There is Plenty for Everyone, including You!
There’s a word called abundance –
Have you heard it before?
It means when it comes to life’s gifts,
There are always more."

It has a great message for adults too. No one is ever too old to hear a lesson about money.

Doctor Wayne W. Dyer, the author, believes that a child’s earliest thoughts and perceptions about money and abundance are those that will stick throughout their life.
