PRANIC FOOD - MEANING, LIST & BENEFITS.
Before knowing about PRANIK FOOD, let us understand the meaning of the word PRANIK.
The word Pranik stems from the Sanskrit word "Prana" meaning "vital life force" which is an ancient science and art of healing that utilizes prana or Ki energy to heal the whole physical body. It also involves the manipulation of Ki and bioplasmic matter of the patient's body.
Living a PRANIK LYFESTYLE is about shifting your focus from nourishing your body with denser sources (food) to less dense sources (energy), all the while keeping in mind that food is not bad, you can enjoy food if you want to, but the abundance comes in knowing that you don't need it to survive.

If we look at the classification, what are the food that false under Positive Pranik Food , the list is bigger. If we look at the negative pranik list it is bit shorter, but unfortunately it may be be a list of all your favourite things too.
On top of the negative pranik list is garlic. Garlic is a very powerful medicine , but it's one thing to consume as a medicine , and it is a different thing to consume it as a daily food substance. It has many medicinal properties , in Ayurveda and Siddha, it is used in a very powerful way for specific ailments. But if your logic is , every day if you pop whatever medicine you can you will be healthy . In Ayurveda it is said that every leaf , every root found on this planet gas some medicinal quality, it's just that , only a few have learned how to use. Others we are yet to learn how to use. Otherwise, every one of them has some medicinal quality if we are willing to pay attention and learn how to use them.
So, now if you want to be healthy , what you do is, just go and eat as much leaf as possible and also take up few roots and eat it, you will be very healthy, that's not how it works. Something specific for a specific problem is different. Just generally consuming medicinal substances is a different game, isn't it ? Garlic is a very powerful medicine if properly used, daily consumption is NO, NO, because it plays on your nervous system big time. It is a very strong nervous stimulant. If you use garlic, your nervous system gets stimulated , anything that stimulates your nervous system holds you up for some time and then dumps you. Daily usage of nervous stimulants in any form will slowly get you into a place that you become insensitive to life, that you cannot experience.
Now , your holding dog is the ideal, because he is sensitive than you , his nervous system is far more sensitive than yours, because he can feel things and know things that you cannot know. Humans are a higher design than a dog, so we should be more sensitive than a dog.
The list therefore has - garlic, onion, asafoetida, green chilli or chilli peppers(hot), coffee, tea, all these are nervous stimulants. Once in a while if you drink, they have some benefits. But if it becomes a daily thing, slowly it dulls your nervous system , your ability to experience life is gone. We are looking at this dimension of the food mainly in terms of your sensitivity to life. Largely people are ego sensitive , they are not life sensitive, they can't feel life. For them, only their thought and emotions is life, because they can not feel life. If you walk into a forest, you can't feel the tree, that's why you call it a wood, you can't feel the creatures around you . Simply because, the sensitivity is gone , in so many ways - one thing is, just the modern life, television, the traffic, these constant reverberations, always something is buzzing, it has a very bad effect on the human system .
We humans are also a kind of reverberation. There must be space , to allow our reverberations to grow and spread. Now, these machines have such powerful reverberations that constantly something is going on, on top of it , what we cannot here, all these wifi and stuff, they are doing their own thing. In all this, there is no room for you to become life-sensitive. To just sit in a place and be able to experience the whole universe, takes a certain level of sensitivity. I am referring all these in context of nervous stimulant, you are lowering the possibility of experiencing life.
For example , if you touch a pot or glass of water , not everybody will feel the touch the same way, it depends on how your sensitive your system is. If you feel this, you can know many things, if you are willing . I am not against drinking coffee or tea ,what I want to clarify is , a cup of coffee should not determine the quality of your life. By choice you drink today, tomorrow you walk away, it's fine. But if it's a compulsion.... "if I do not drink your coffee, my day is ruined", then you have to do something about it. The only parameter is : are you moving towards freedom , or are you getting enslaved in some way, with just a cup of liquid?
Do everything by choice, there is no problem, if you do it by choice, then you know when to start , when to stop. If you do by compulsion , what you start , you cannot stop. It's not like you become a fanatic, "I don't eat this, I don't eat that, I eat this" , don't become a food fanatic, it's just that , eat by choice . Every meal must be by choice. Don't make food into a religion, it is not. It is a choice according to the need of this body, not according to social or cultural needs.
Other Negative pranic foods are those nervous stimulants, intoxicants.
Zero pranic foods are tomatoes, potatoes,
So, among positive foods , there are a few which are very positive - Ash gourd / Winter melon, fruits, vegetables, nuts, dry fruits, black pepper, honey is one substance on the planet whose chemical composition is very close to human blood , daily consumption of honey can do wonderful things to you, honey is an extremely good thing to eat especially if you have children at home, make hone culture part of your thing, it gives psychological stability, physical well-being, vitality, all these can be greatly enhanced simply by consuming daily honey. If you have excess fat in your body, drink honey with warm water, it breaks down the fat in the system. If you drink it with cold water, it will give you weight.
How you eat
is important, once you are human just do everything consciously. Eating should
also happen consciously , it is not the question of is this right, is this
wrong ? What is most suitable for the system that’s what you should eat.
Some of the top level athletes have shifted to vegetarian diet these days. Most of the martial art people are all 100% vegetarians. Their physical is quite incredible, Bruce Lee was a vegetarian, because the flexibility of the muscles will be lost with too much non-vegetarian food. Non-vegetarian food is mainly consumed because you need protein. Vegetarian cooked diet has low protein level , that is a one big mistake. You need only 3% protein for your body, almost every vegetable , every fruit if it’s eaten in its raw condition has the necessary protein that your body wants, when you cook it it’s not enough.
With non-vegetarian
food the protein content is too high . If you consume too much of protein it
causes cancer. Western countries have far more larger incidents of cancer than
in the eastern countries. One main reason is consumption of excessive protein
through non-vegetarian food.
So, somebody is doing better, not just because of their non-vegetarian food, a overall sense of well being has been created in the society ,the general living conditions have enhanced. How many of city children have even enough space to play , they are living in one, two or three room apartments. So, how can this grow up well and live for a long time with good health. When children play be active, they naturally eat well, grow well, their whole system is in a better condition. So, it is not just the food but there are many many conditions which are not there and the attitude also . Most parents are not physically active, it is quite normal to believe that the human shape is like this 👇
but human shape is not like this, it is like this 👇, it’s quite normal.
More than the 50-60% of the people are of different shape than what human being should be.
So, when you
are in that type of condition, your physical activity levels would be very low, so naturally the body will not last, long enough in a healthy way with
fitness. Very few men and women regularly either swim, or play a game, or run, or climb
a mountain, or do trekking or cycle, or
do any physical exercise. But if you eat proper vegetarian food , then you will
see your life gets greatly enhanced.
When we are reaching for survival, we could eat whatever we lay our hands on, but now that we choices then we have to chose what's best for our body. If we don't chose like this then we will some how live and go, all these things are relevant only for those people who are constantly striving how to better their life , how to perform little better, how to open up another dimension of life. If these concerns are there, then what kind of food or fuel you put into this machine is very very important.
