The act of eating is a deeply spiritual and sacred experience.
When you put food into your body, you are giving yourself life energy.
You
are taking something that was once living (animals and plants who have
given their lives for you) and transforming it into fuel to support
your life. You are taking a part of God Him/Herself into you (who are
also a part of God’s creation).
You are partaking of a great blessing that’s been bestowed on you.
While many people in the world are starving, you have abundant food!
Remember these things, and take time to be both grateful and conscious
every time you eat.
