Note: this was an ongoing blog entry I started some time ago.
I’m starting a new color diet on Monday, January 29th, 2007. Some of you who know me may be thinking “what the heck?” when you read more about what this color diet is, but hear me out. I’m writing an entry about it because it’s pretty substantial, and we’ll find out if it’s any good or not. Therefore, this blog entry started long before it was published. I may start publishing somewhat into the project, or I may wait until the end.
The general idea is from Linda Goodman’s book “Linda Goodman’s Star Signs“. Linda Goodman is an interesting astrologer who wrote many good books some time ago. Some of her theories are a little out there (fairies, etc) but who knows; time may tell that she’s right on with those too. She’s considered one of the top astrologers of all time by those who agree with her.
According to Goodman, the “color diet” consists of getting one’s aura back in balance. She states that people who are underweght (the ’skinnies’) have too much red/yellow in their aura and the overweight people (the ‘plumpies’, me in this case) have too much blue/green in their aura. The plumpies are to work on re-balancing their aura to have less of a blue/green saturation and get more red/yellow/orange spectrum into their aura.
On the face of it, it does make some logical sense. Red/yellow indicates more activity, maybe a higher blood pressure, and a better metabolism by using more energy to convert the food we eat into usable energy. Blue and green, on the other hand, indicate to me a more sedentary style, or to just lay back and relax. Think about it - what do the fattest things on earth eat? Cows, whales, rhinos, elephants, etc… all eat greens, blues, and darkish foods. Bees, on the other hand, eat honey. Monkeys eat bananas.
So there are three primary concepts in changing your aura to have more red/yellow/gold in it - 1) daily color light therapy, 2) drinking solarized water, and 3) eating foods from the red/yellow/gold/orange spectrum and staying away from green/blue-based food. If you want more info about the specifics, I’d recommend buying the book. But this blog entry here is about my personal experience with the color diet. Read the massively extended entry for all the details.
