You’ve probably heard about The Law of Attraction. Since the film ‘The Secret’, the idea of being able to manifest things into your life using the power of the mind is quite a mainstream concept.
But you may not have come across the phrase ‘The Raw of Attraction’.
That’s because I just made it up 😉
It’s an idea that I’ve been pondering for several years now: it appears to me that the more fresh/raw/simple your diet is, the greater your ability to attract good stuff into your life.
Now, I’m conscious that you, dear reader, may either be shouting ‘YES, OF COURSE, THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE!’ at your computer right now, or you may be rolling your eyes and preparing to leave this website forever.
If you’re still here, hi there 🙂
According to Law of Attraction principles, ‘like attracts like’. So doesn’t it make sense that vibrant, healthy food would attract a vibrant world around you too?
How it actually works is a mystery to me.
But I have a few theories…
Maybe those lovely beneficial bacteria that thrive in a healthy body become more magical when fed fresh living foods.
Maybe a fresh diet free of any nasty junk food leads to a more positive emotional state of mind, meaning that we are more grateful for what we have and more likely to see the cup as ‘half-full’.
Maybe we just have more physical energy to get into action and make these things actually happen.
I don’t know. All I know is, as my diet becomes cleaner, fresher, and more minimalistic, my life just becomes more sparkly in general.
I have a theory that it might work something along the same lines of Feng Shui.
(Oh no… what was that… more eye rolling..? Bear with me)
Feng Shui principles state that if you de-clutter your living space and arrange things accordingly, then good things can flow into your life more easily.
(By the way, if you’re interested in de-cluttering – and who isn’t, at this time of year – keep an eye on my other site, www.cherrytherapies.com, as soon I will be writing about a cool practice I thought up which will get you de-cluttered in no time)
So de-cluttering takes care of your outside space.
But what about taking this principle a little further and clearing out your INSIDE space? Shouldn’t your lovely little bod get a bit of de-cluttering action too?
A simple, unprocessed, healthy diet allows the body to naturally cleanse and provides space for the digestive system to start working its magic so much more efficiently. When you bear in mind the ‘microcosm/macrocosm’ concept, who knows what other functions that digestive system serves?
New research is currently emerging about the ‘abdominal brain’ and the connection of the gut with the emotions. There must be so much more information that we just don’t know about those mysterious micro-organisms that reside inside us.
Ok, enough for now. Law of Attraction… Feng Shui…better finish this blog quick before I start talking about aliens or something…
If you’re feeling in the mood to Spring clean your life and let in a little more raw goodness, keep an eye out for my next newsletter (and if you’re not signed up, you can do it here), as I am currently putting together a little program to help you upgrade your diet – and it will be completely free!
So watch this (de-cluttered) space 😉

Hi Lisa,great to read your above thoughts on raw food and synchronicity,especially as its one of the subjects in life that facinate me the most.I spent eight years 100% raw and similarly to yourself I was left in no doubt that there is a connection between the raw diet and synchro.Of course ultimately it`s a mystery but I think that the raw food author Arnold Ehret`s formulae of V=P-O is not irrelevant to the connection,where V is vitality,P power and O obstruction.Although I`ve seen the documentary the secret im no scholar of the synchro literature.For myself it`s been more a case of learning through my own experience.for whats its worth apart from foods other things which have in my experience not an insignificant effect on synchro are:
-(Cold Turkey) ,by which I mean 100% abstention from all electronic media which contains video images and music.Yes I know it doesn`t sound much fun but the results never fail to amaze me.Also doing the work we love most, and meditation,cardiovascular exercise and the state of our friendships and general social activness are all significant factors.the Raw of Attraction would make a gold plated book title,one which I would love to read should you ever feel inclined to write it.Thanks for sharing your musings.
Hi Peter, great points! I love the thought of detoxing from technology, it’s just getting so hard nowadays to get away from it! Everywhere seems to have wifi these days, even remote spots. But for sure, switching off from all the tech and just getting away from it all seems like it would be so healing.
Hi Lisa, my 16 yr old daughter and I are from Canada and have been raw vegan for a few years now. A bit of a challenge living in Northern Ontario, but we made it through the winter. We are looking for a like minded community of raw vegan, conscious people and decided to check out Scotland and found you. Enjoyed your posts–especially since we are decluttering right now. I sometimes post recipes on my blog http://www.driftingseeds.wordpress.com if you would like to check it out.
Hi Robin, thanks for connecting! I hope summer comes around soon for you 😉
