Blog 12 July 8 2014 - The energies of food spirit and prayer
Should one try to grow spiritual food?
Yes, of course. Mind, body and spirit all have to be fit for a person to be
whole. To feed one’s spirit with prayer
meditation and reflection brings one to higher state of consciousness and
peace. What does one do to feed the
physical body upon which the foundation is built to support for this life
energy. Nutrients are to the body what God and prayer are to the soul. To hold
space for the grace of spirit to move through and within us our tissues need to
be supported with living energies by foods that we eat.
On a continual basis
the vibrations of the human and planetary elements are radically changing and
it is not enough in today’s world to find the right nutritional approach or to
support the body with supplements and organic foods. One has to be aligned energetically with the
foods that they are about to eat in order to receive its healing qualities.
Foods carry with them vibrational energies that resonate with thoughts, emotions,
physical and spiritual states of being. They can either enhance, support or be
a detriment to one’s body and emotional state.
Everything from the quality,
color, texture, the way a food is prepared to the aroma all effects the way it
is received by the body and the spirit.
Food can create and heal illness.
It can bring on a euphoric state or depressed one. In many spiritual traditions food has become
sanctified as holy and a prayer is said before it is eaten. In Christianity, during the last supper,
Christ said to the disciples upon breaking bread with them, “Take this. This is
my body.” The blessing of the food is transformed from matter into spirit. That
same gift has been given to each and everyone of us to transform our food
energetically into spirit, but to do so one’s body and mind has to be in a
prayerful state.
When one finds oneself in this place, attachment to various
food changes. One may then seek true nourishment
as opposed to immediate fulfillment that is desired by the physical or emotional
hunger. That is not say that eating food for these reasons is wrong, on the
contrary, by eating in a prayerful state the spirit gets nourished which can
then support the energies needed to fulfill our basic needs and human desires. When working with emotional sustenance using
food sources the body utilizes most of the nutrients to heal itself of what has
been depleted of when one is out of balance of right consciousness. For example, during times one is under
extreme duress the majority of the nutrients will be absorbed by the energies
carried during the duress, leaving little to be absorbed by the blood
stream.
If one can bring awareness and
contemplation to the emotional body before eating it will effect changes of
receptivity before the food source is even digested. To then make a prayer blessing for the food
the person not only comes into right relationship with the food, but with
himself as well, making the union holy. To nourish oneself physically each
person’s body has different needs of food energies to support it on a daily
basis.
It is suggested that whole foods
such as vegetables, grains, fruits and a healthy source of protein fulfill the
demands for a healthy body. When one learns to listen to the needs of these tissues
a single source of food ingested at one time may be enough to support the life energies
moving through a person at a particular time. The way a person eats will then
become different. The amount a person
eats will also change. For example, when
one sits down to eat lunch and chooses a whole grain such a quinoa the healing
and nutritional properties of the grain may be enough to sustain the body until
supper. This can only happen with the
relationship to food becomes prayerful. I am not suggesting for everyone go out
and change their nutritional behaviors, everyone needs to nourish themselves
according to their own body needs.
Healthy food sources are the one thing that
will help us to maintain our physical wellbeing during this time on earth of change
and spiritual evolution. I am only
suggesting that you compassionately look at your relationship of the way you
nourish yourself on a slightly different level.
When in alignment with your meal the nutrients will then support you
mentally, physically emotionally and spiritually. Thus eat prayerfully and
enjoy the fruits of the earth. One has to remember we import in Nova Scotia
approximately 90% of our food. Where it
is grown determines the energy content. We have to be in balance with the energy
for our food. Thus, we have to eat
locally to be energetically balanced. This will the future changes. This will
enable your body, mind and spirit to be strong.
This is imperative for our province and nation to survive the future
changes.
Thank you.
