Thanksgiving Seen Through New Eyes

Filed under: Holidays — by Elaine Seiler @ 4:53 am

A holiday for ‘giving thanks’, a celebration of the harvest, an over-abundance of yummy food, the gathering of family and friends and the inevitable football on the television.  These words have traditionally, described, ‘Thanksgiving’ for me.  I thought this a rich and full description of this American holiday…until recently!  Now, it seems a rather narrow three-dimensional viewpoint….

As I expanded my awareness and looked at the Thanksgiving meal through ‘multi-dimensional’ eyeglasses that provide an energetic perspective, I saw a very different picture.    Everything, including the foods we eat, are made up of moving waves of energy, each of a faster or slower vibration, each easier or harder to digest depending on the speed of their frequency.

From that vantage point I still see a table laden with mouth-watering foods, but I now perceive the various vibrations, which make each of the foods I am about to eat.  They are oh-so-very-tempting, but together create much too rich a feast:

Turkey – delicious to eat, but dense and heavy to digest;

Sweet potato or yams – might appear to be a heavy starch, but they are actually of a much lighter frequency, much more digestible, in actuality a good foil for the dense turkey;

Cranberry – deep, dark, magenta, sober in color, light in frequency. It too is easier to digest than the turkey.

Let’s not forget the bread stuffing with pecans or chestnuts – another food of a heavy and dense vibration.

And, we can’t overlook that side table, overflowing with apple and pumpkin pies, cakes of all sorts, and whipped cream to top them off, each made up of its own range of frequencies.

My tummy yearns and groans simultaneously at the mere thought of what I am about to consume.  Alone or one or two foods in combination would provide an ample meal, but together, the dishes on offer create such a wide range of frequencies as to challenge even the strongest stomach.  These traditional Thanksgiving foods, so tempting to the palette, cause indigestion and sleepiness, not only because we tend to eat too much, but primarily because their rainbow of vibrations overwhelms the body and cannot be integrated.  Be fore-warned – rainbows are lovely to look at, but were never meant to be consumed, all at one sitting, and in large quantities.

I invite you to look at the foods on your thanksgiving plate with new eyes.  See not the foods you have traditionally loved, but rather the vibrations that comprise them.   Attempt, if you are willing, to sense/feel the frequencies of each as you are about to consume it.  Oh, yes, eat it and enjoy it.  I will be last one to suggest you forgo such a feast, but I suggest your new vision of the frequencies of those foods, may give you some new insights into the effect of the choices you make as you fill your plate.

Oh, by the way, are you aware of the energies all around you, in the house, in the room, at the table?  The energies of all the people present contribute to the vibrations and feelings present   Are they harmonious?  Are the expectations of those present resonant, creating a consensus reality of joy and happiness, or are there different expectations, different beliefs about how things should unfold, creating a subtle under-current of energetic disharmony?  If you tune in at this level, you may learn a lot about the environment of this holiday meal and why you feel as you do – great or miserable.

I wish you a happy and energetically harmonious Thanksgiving!

  1. Certainly a new and different way of looking at it. I like it. I’ll look and see what I receive and let you know how it works out for me. Should be interesting because I don’t have a home right now so ??? I do have much to be thankful for. I’ll e-mail you after Thanksgiving and let you know how it goes.

    I do wish you a joyful day. I’m happy to hear from you. Love Iris

  3. Hiya!! .!! Happy Thanksgiving!! :) :) :) :)
    Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and every year I like to get into the mood-extend the holiday, since it were-by reading “Thanksgiving novels.” For example, these stories are mostly about family and friends, about coming together to heal old hurts and showing thanks for the gift of love. .. .. ::
    Do You Think You’re Far better Off Today Than You Had been four Years Ago?

  4. There is no question in my mind that i am ‘far better off’. My eyes are open; my dimensional blinders have been removed. I see/sense/ know lots more than I did four years ago. My world has become so much richer. The metaphors, the messages I get from looking at my experiences have given me so many more insights into my life. Four years ago, i might have been upset that I had the beginning of a headache and was exhausted tonight as I left the music festival in Mullumbimby, NSW. AU. just a few hours ago. Now four years later, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I needed to leave the crowds, and the concert venues. I knew that as soon as I left, I would be able to recharge my very depleted energetic batteries and I would feel better. I trusted the symptoms would recede and they did. I believed that I was energetically ‘full up’. Personality Elaine could have and would have stayed for more; the performers were great. But energetic Elaine knew better. I knew I couldn’t stay. My reservoir of energy was depleted and had to be replenished. Energetic choices are often different than personality ones. They may be tough to make in the moment, but they always feel right , when I listen to that all-knowing inner voice.
