Everyone of us eats and drinks, from the well-laden table of Nature,to nourish our body.
These foods are our source of energy. By energy, I am not referring to only the glucose and calories, but also to the indirect solar energy(prana) from the sun.
But what most of us do not realise is that we often do not fully activate and fully absorb those energies inherent in our foods. Apart from our habits of always reducing the energy contents of our foods by denaturing them through overcooking, adding harsh chemicals and over storage, we are also guilty of not activating them.
We humans with our spiritual inner core, are meant to be masters on this physical plane. We are supposed to influence every other things, living and non living in gross matter. In truth, our inner core, the spirit needs no physical nourishment to exist and function, but our physical bodies definitely need those nourishment as foods and drinks.
It is now fully established that the human spirit through mind and speech does influence every thing, especially our foods and water.
A Japanese scientist, a professor emeritus, Emoto Masaru , (July 22, 1943 – October 17, 2014) was an author, a researcher, photographer and an entrepreneur, whose works proof that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water .
Research continued over the years, and his early work explored his theory that water could react to positive thoughts and words, and that polluted water could be cleaned through prayer and positive visualisation.
He used high powered microscopes to observe the crystal structure of water, subjected to different speeches and thoughts, positive for some, negative for others. The conclusion was that the water subjected to positive words and thoughts formed crystals of exquisite designs, while those subjected to negative words and thoughts formed crystals of ugly designs.
Other researchers also worked on the effects of words and thoughts on prepared foods. In a particular case study, two plates of cooked rice were placed in different glass containers, and labelled A and B. The contents of glass A was subjected to positive speeches and thoughts like \’you are good\’, \’you are blessed\’, \’we love you\’.
Another group focused on the other glass B, bombarding it with negative words and thoughts such as \’you are cursed\’, \’you are useless\’, \’we hate you\’.
After about 10 days, the two plates of rice were brought out. The rice from glass A was found to be still fresh, as if it was just cooked the previous day. Meanwhile, the rice from glass B was found to be rotten beyond normal, all sorts of moulds and fungus were growing from it.
From those research works, we can deduce that our words and thoughts definitely have effects on our foods and water, either activating them to a higher energy vibration, or rendering them inactive or, and less active at a lower energy vibration.
So, the big question is: how do we activate our food and water before consuming them?
All we need to do is to be simply fully conscious prior to consuming them. We need to be filled with gratitude for being allowed to get the food from the reserves of Nature.
We also need to \’speak life\’ into the food or water. This may take the form of a formal prayer like \’The Grace\’, or any other similar prayers specific for starting a meal, or for those who do not use formal prayers, simply sparing a few seconds to focus positive thoughts on the food and water prior to eating or drinking.
Also, a very good way to be fully conscious and be in the present with the food is to eat slowly, chewing thoroughly, and actually taking one\’s time to fully savour the delicacy. This is why it is said that those who eat slowly get more benefits from their food compared with those who eat hurriedly.
Proper mastication helps the digestive enzymes to fully act on the foods, so that they may release all their inherent energy to the eater.
Whatever food you eat, eat it with full presence of mind, in gratitude, slowly and joyfully. By so doing, you are blessing and thereby activating the food, which will in turn bless and activate you.
