Eating for Your Chakras

A healthy throat chakra will communicate and express the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the other chakras through sound in a way that is authentic and true.

It is associated with the color blue. Kelp, blueberries and blue raspberries are foods that encourage balance in the throat chakra.

6^th Chakra: The Third Eye (Forehead) Chakra 

Physical Body: The third eye chakra belongs to the brain, face, nose and eyes. It’s responsible for hormone function and secretion through the pituitary gland and sleep/wake cycles. The third eye chakra controls the "perception" functions of the body through the brain, eyes, and neurotransmitters.

Emotional Body: The third eye chakra is our intuitive or psychic center. 

A healthy third eye chakra will create the path of internal visions and dreams, a heightened intuition with the realization of spiritual guidance and inspiration.

The color for this chakra is violet. Any foods of this color will help its function, such as purple potatoes, blackberries, blueberries, purple grapes, etc.

7^th Chakra: The Crown Chakra

Physical Body: The crown chakra can be associated with the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland located in the brain, but is related to the whole being. It is the master chakra.

Emotional Body: The crown chakra is our connection to our higher spirituality, our higher self.   

The crown chakra infuses the body with life force, allowing the entire individual to function as a divine creature. It oversees all the functions of the body through the central nervous system.

Foods like plum and eggplant can nourish this chakra. This chakra is different than the rest in one way: The crown chakra is in some ways more "spirit" than "matter." Therefore, the crown chakra thrives on the sustenance that comes from sunlight, air and love.
