maybe there is something to this live diet...

Last night I was very tired and wanting to go to sleep when I started feeling a vibration going through my limbs, like a sin curve, oscillating up and down, especially through my arms. It continued for a long time and when I breathed in deep, I found I could direct it somewhat. I could have played with it more, but I was really tired and wanting to get to sleep. It seems the kundalini energy, the chi, was moving. Finally it subsided for the most part. My body jerked a little.

It was so funny because I have been doing everything "wrong" lately. I overate a lot (almost thankfully, I don't feel ready to fly away, it helped with grounding in that moment). I haven't been doing consistent yoga, pranayama, or meditation, I was tired. I didn't particularly feel in the mood for a spiritual experience.

What had I been doing right? I have been doing all live foods for the past month, and have been vegetarian for eleven years. My heart felt open. I had been doing some circular motions to help with digestion due to overeating (though those movements are also said to move chi). It just shows that you can not make anything happen, you just have to be open and energies will move when they desire.

I have been making friends with excellent people all around the country. People who watch South Park and still take live food and blessings and ritual very seriously. I have learned a lot and hope to meet up with them again.

I am not in the mood for junk foods or drugs when I get home. Food is my health insurance and beauty routine. It doesn't need to be much else, besides nourishment. But it is a basic necessity.
