My heart must have been needing the help because I have been craving spinach so much lately!
Absolutely. I hope if has made a difference.
Going to bookmark this for the next time I am having difficulties or feeling not quite right. Thank you.
It is great to keep referring to. I now look at my kids and if I see a continual behaviour that is not positive then I determine if maybe their chakras need a little care.
I’ve actually been craving mangoes and peaches lately which is interesting because I don’t currently eat any of the sacral chakra foods.
The sacral chakra is responsible for self-confidence and worthiness so maybe it’s your bodies way of saying you are doing an AWESOME job mumma bear … back yourself.
My comment vanished!!! Just want to say thanks for this- will be noting the foods down. I have a whole board on Pinterest for energy work and chakras and this post made the “healing foods” simple enough to action
I will head over to your Pinterest account Deb and check it out.
Such an interesting read Nat. This is perfect timing as I’ve been discovering more about chakras recently, particularly in relation to crystals and I’ve also found a great chakra cleansing meditation. #teamIBOT
