Last issue, I told you that your crops
ask you to thank those carrots and potatoes before you cut and
harvest them. In this issue, I want you to know that you can speak
to the food on your plate and actually change it for better or for
worse. Yes, you have the power to raise or lower the vibrancy of
your meal.
Here’s how. Do you recall that Dr. Emoto’s experiments in Japan
revealed changes in the structure of water? Emoto photographed the
crystalline shapes of water before and after external stimuli such
as music, thoughts, words, photographs, and prayer. His magnified
photos reveal water crystals of great beauty and symmetry following
positive stimuli like gratitude. By contrast, angry or sad emotions
(words, thoughts, or music) dramatically changed the water crystal
formation to a lackluster or contorted shape, or no geometric
pattern at all. (For more, see The Hidden Message in Water by
Dr. Masaru Emoto.)
Aha! If Dr. Emoto can change water, why can’t we change food? Food
is mostly water. So is our body. Of course, our thoughts and
feelings are constantly affecting not just water, but all kinds of
molecules around us, even rocks, wood, and atmosphere. Here is the
key: changing crystalline structure means changing vibrational
pattern.
Think about it: if we can raise our food’s vibrations, we accomplish
two things. First, we raise its quality, nourishment, vitality, and
energetic frequency. Second, as we digest this high-vibration food,
we actually raise our body vibrations. Now that is health care!
These are worthy goals, indeed, and easy to perform. Each of us can
raise vibrations around us and in us, because it is consciousness
that causes the changes. Every mealtime presents us with the
opportunity to raise or lower our food’s vibrations.
Imagine yourself sitting down to baked chicken, rice, steamed
broccoli and green salad. How will you magically raise the
vibrations of your dinner?
Try this. Spread your hands above the meal on your plate. Inhale and
savor the aromas of this food. Observe what life forms you have on
your plate—fowl, grain and vegetable. Imagine each growing vibrantly
in the sun. Thank each one for its gifts of nourishment, flesh and
life force. Realize that it had to die to give you life. It gave
freely. Acknowledge the sacred web of relationship. Rather than
rattle off words, take a moment to actually create the emotion. Feel
the gratitude start to flow.
Presto! You have performed magic on your meal. You
have just raised the vibrations of your food. Congratulations!
Call it prayer. Call it blessing. Call it the Emoto effect. Call it
the application of external stimulus. Call it a profound act of
transformation. Call it performing magic. No matter what you call
it, the secret to its effectiveness is the same: generate feelings
of celebration, thanks, appreciation, respect, acknowledgement or
gratitude; then aim them at your food.
You are honoring the plant and animal kingdoms for supporting your
every need. You are radiating wonder. As you build the vibration of
gratitude, you set the molecular structure of your dinner in motion
to smile back at you. Your love raises the vibration of your food.
What a tool to eliminate guilt! For those times when you’re stuck
eating low-quality food, no need to worry that it is not organic or
local. You simply become a magician. Apply your conscious
appreciation and — Presto! You make the plant and animal kingdoms
smile. You stimulate and re-form the molecules of your meal. You
digest and raise your body’s vibrations. You eat with joy. You feel
joy. Bravo!
Consciously gathered food. Conscious eating. No need to carry a wand
to exercise these powers of magic!
