peace infinite waters diving deep once
again breathing in that gorgeous prana
we’re out here in nature five big
lessons of being vegan after ten years I
don’t usually tell people I don’t eat
meat or dairy but whenever I do I always
get a lot of comments in the comment
section oh boy
can I get a hello every day I get a lot
of messages about food this makes me
hungry I received one from a woman who
said that she started out on this vegan
lifestyle and she stopped after three
months but she wanted to maintain it
could I offer her any insight I’ve got a
lot of meat eaters who watch this
channel I love you guys a whole lot of
vegetarians vegans raw foodists probably
people that don’t even eat I love you
guys because you know the one thing we
all have in common we are all human so
whenever I talk about food it’s not to
separate us it’s to unify us eating
foods that work for me have helped me
become my greatest version so what is
more important than being a vegan is
eating according to your body’s needs
that is the most important thing so
being a vegan does not make you more
spiritual than someone else it does not
make you better than someone else it’s
all about doing what feels right for you
the first lesson I have learnt or
benefit is that don’t do it because I’m
doing here how many times do we play
follow-the-leader
you probably see these celebrities right
now who have the perfect boy
figure and you say oh I want to do that
and then they tell you what they eat and
you try to copy it
big mistake when I first started back in
2005 it wasn’t because I wanted to look
good I could have done it for that but I
wouldn’t have continued you see I was
reading under my mentor Mikkel Ivanov
and what he said really hit a nerve
within me he talked about how energy was
transferred from animals into our
bloodstream and it really shook me to
the core because I said okay what can I
do about this he spoke about how peace
begins on your plate so I made a
conscious decision to say hmm let me see
if I could give it up and it wasn’t easy
because for the first few months I was
just like you going back and forth but I
had a higher ideal I could see what this
was doing I could make the connection
and that is the greatest benefit once
you make the connection but this is not
a trend veganism is a lifestyle when you
care about animals when you care about
all life-forms on the planet at the same
time you have to ask yourself why am I
doing this why you don’t have to do it
no one’s gonna judge you you’re not
gonna get any brownie points once I
started to ask myself that everything
made sense I’m doing it because it makes
me feel alive the second lesson I
learned was that you feel great it does
wonders for your health you get clearer
skin you’re eating more nutrient-dense
food more fruits more vegetables
acai blueberries avocados because of
that your digestion is improving
that means more frequent bowel movements
what else you feel more confident within
yourself I used to have a lot of panic
attacks oh yes you didn’t want to see me
I had a lot of anxiety and just eating a
more plant-based diet has empowered my
life in all kinds of ways it’s given me
so much strength mentally emotionally
and physically because right now I’m
bursting full of energy sometimes I just
want to jump up and say woohoo feels
good to be alive that’s what happens but
once again you have to do it in stages
this didn’t happen overnight it’s all
about taking one step at a time
sometimes I would just incorporate a
little bit of vegetables onto my plate
maybe some kale a little bit of
watercress do it in stages there is no
rush but most of all do what works for
you the third lesson I learn is that it
increases your discipline all of this
stuff around us we are eventually gonna
have to let go off so by me not eating
dairy or meat I am exercising the power
of letting go and it is so liberating
because you just feel every day not only
lighter because people ask me do you
fast I say yeah I do I’ve been fasting
since 2005 because I am giving up and it
wasn’t easy to let go of my mom’s
chicken do you know how hard that is
very hard don’t try it
but you feel better discipline you have
to learn how not to absorb other
people’s energy you have to learn not to
care about what other people think of
you yes we want to please people but you
have to be strong do you know the
hardest thing about being a vegan what
dealing with people who don’t care about
what you eat who don’t respect what you
eat when you have to go out and eat with
people and they’re laughing at you
calling you names you’ve got to be
strong enough to deal with it but you
will see the benefits because there are
so many amazing people living a similar
lifestyle to yourself so you become very
powerful indeed the fourth lesson was to
show more compassion forks over knives a
great documentary showing what is
actually happening to animals also
earthlings but just by me showing more
compassion to animals I am now showing
more compassion to myself on a daily
basis that is one of the biggest lessons
I’ve learned in being a vegan and once
again that’s just a label because it’s a
lifestyle it’s a state of mind
it opens your third-eye your crown
chakra because the crown chakra is all
about the interconnectedness between all
life-forms on the planet it is the
ending of separation and the beginning
of oneness and that is what this
lifestyle has taught me and yes we have
a lot of fun a whole lot of fun but also
in relationships ok
my ex is hi what happened when I was
becoming a vegan they were still eating
me and it caused a lot of problems
because once again when you are changing
your diet you are also changing who you
are interacting with on an intimate
level and that is one of the greatest
things and lessons I’ve learned in
relationships once we see we attract
what we are as we change the kinds of
people we meet also changes
so the last massive lesson and benefit
is that you get to build and share in
this amazing community which is
everywhere lots of people are eating
healthy are feeling great about
themselves and also you could start an
amazing relationship together with
someone who shares your vision your
passion about food you have to be
passionate about food and just by me
sharing my journey about how its cured
me of all kinds of little problems I’ve
met the most amazing people in the world
not that people that people who eat
plant-based foods are any different than
people who eat meat no but it’s about
realizing there is a common bond between
all of us
so whatever you eat I respect it because
I’m all about people being honest people
should know what you eat you should be
proud about your lifestyle so there you
have it I say love yourself 100%
whatever you eat it’s okay but just
remind yourself there are consequences
because if you eat me if you eat me I
said if you eat me I won’t be able to
say anything don’t do it okay we’re here
in nature love your body love your mind
love your spirit have a wonderful day
infinite waters diving deep once again
stay well stay healthy you
