A short Kabbalah-informed talk arguing that spiritual attitudes toward the body determine whether food and diet are 'blessed' and able to heal. The speaker claims healing begins before food: shame, self-judgment, and negative self-perception create an affinity with 'negative' energy in food and close the body's vessel for receiving the Creator's life-force, thereby opening susceptibility to viruses, bacteria, and disease.
What do the sages say with getting your body to heal? What is the spiritual cause of disease or being overweight? These questions have many answers and we will start with the most important. Most people are focused on what they are eating. Low carb, high protein, fewer calories, more control. But the truth is healing starts before the food. If you believe something is wrong with your body the diet won't be blessed. Food has a physical side which is connected to this lower world of negative energy and a spiritual side connected to the anti aging immortal force of the Creator. If you feel shame about your body, how you look and are trying to change who you are then because of affinity of form you are connecting to the negative side of food. In Kabbalah we understand the body as a vessel meant to receive light but when we carry judgment and resentment towards our own body we close that vessel and open a pathway to viruses, bacteria and disease.
