Chakra Foods for Optimum Health                                      

Chakra Foods is loaded with wisdom, joy, and practicality…” ―Christiane Northrup, MD

Chakra Foods for Optimum Health A Guide to Foods That Can Improve Your Energy, Inspire Creative Changes, Open Your Heart, and Heal Body, Mind and Spirit by Deanna Minich, Ph.D., C.N.

Nutritionist and yoga practitioner Deanna Minich provides tools and insight as to how foods and ways we eat can heal, brighten, balance, and strengthen parts of us that need not only physical but spiritual nourishment in Chakra Foods for Optimum Health. The material for this book developed out of the author’s highly successful Nutrition for the Soul™ classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. She explains how the vibration of food can impact the energy of our being, emphasizing that the sheer bulk of food we eat provides not only physical matter to give the body energy, but also "an energy signature" to feed the subtle needs of the soul. Using the chakra energy system established by ancient Vedic texts, Chakra Foods for Optimum Health provides a hands-on guide to how to heal body, mind, and spirit through foods and eating. For example, someone feeling stuck in her life could turn to Chapter 5 and find a list of foods that promote healthy flow in the body, such as foods that carry the vibration of the color orange or specific dietary fats that encourage movement. For each chakra, specific affirmations and other practices are also offered, as are meal plans and recipes. Helpful questionnaires, lists, charts, and diagrams assist readers in easily pinpointing and diagnosing themselves and the various prescriptive options are all very clearly explained. With lots of useful sidebars, this book really is a treasure trove of energy medicine in the form of food ― truly food for the body, mind, and soul! Deanna Minich, Ph.D., C.N., is a dynamic nutrition educator, researcher, and counselor. Her Nutrition for the Soul™ workshop series has been taught at medical clinics in the Pacific Northwest, at The Evergreen State College and Bastyr University. Deanna holds a Master’s Degree in human nutrition and dietetics and a Ph.D. in medical sciences/human nutrition. For the past five years she has been the director of new technology at a well-known life sciences company.
