Such choices you have now compared to my village. Your world has become connected not only by your internet but also through the cuisine you can find walking through town. From all around your planet food, cultures and life can be experienced through your taste buds. Food is a celebration, a gift, a blessing from your Mother the Earth. Each day we try to connect to Spirit through prayer and meditation but let us not forget to enjoy life through the blessings of our food. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Let each morsel of food that enters our bodies be from God&#8217;s table, so that our bodies are cleansed and purified. So what would be on God&#8217;s table? Twinkies? Gas station $1.00 burrito? Mc Whopper? Or organic veggies, mom&#8217;s chocolate chip cookies, and a home cooked meal? What makes the food we eat good or bad? Each of us determines what is perfect for our bodies to eat. Some need meat, some do not. Some people need raw vegetables from the garden, and others need them cooked into a stew. No one way is perfect for all because we are all different in our needs and how our bodies function. What is important is to listen to your body for what it needs. When we become disconnected from ourselves we forget to eat or grab what is quick or less in-tune with what our bodies\u2019 desire. Quick meals, with no thought, lead to unhappy bodies and un-digested food. When we let our hearts choose the food we consume we allow God to join our meals and eating becomes less about refueling and more about loving what you&#8217;re eating. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Why does a meal prepared by someone we love taste so comforting compared to fast food? Even if the person preparing that food is yourself this meal is created with intention, focus and love. The thoughts and love being poured over the food becomes another ingredient. Food is life, so eat what fills you with passion, excitement, and wonder. Try cooking food with gratitude, love and passion and notice how others respond. When we think less of life or ourselves it is easy to side step food that loves us. When we eat of food prepared by someone in pain, fear, and frustration we include this energy into our collective self. Yes, you are what you eat. So what energy do you want to be? We soon find ourselves wanting more loving food, natural food, and meals prepared by those that love what they do. And when you choose foods prepared by a restaurant try small family run places that bring their love of life through their food. By eating food prepared by consciousness we can truly find our comfort food. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>We are challenged more now than ever to question not only who is preparing our food but also who and how our food is grown.\u00a0 When we, as a community of humans, allow others of less intention and unconsciousness to choose chemicals and unnatural ways to increase profit we are part of the problem.\u00a0 As we watch the insects die from the chemicals and toxins we too are suffering and consuming these toxins.\u00a0 We truly become what we eat.\u00a0 And as we rally to change these companies let us not forget to look at ourselves.\u00a0 It was from our own disconnected hearts that allowed the toxins and genetic plants to happen in the first place.\u00a0 As consumers you have the power to choose natural, consciously prepared and Eco-friendly grown products.\u00a0 And can choose to support your local farmers at the weekend markets or take a trip to a farm to buy fruits and veggies and see how these beautiful foods are created. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>I challenge you today to eat with me. Let us look at what you eat and decide if it\u2019s from God&#8217;s table. Is this meal what your body needs to be full of life or full of gas? Try to bring love into your meals, even if you do not know the intention of who prepared the food you can ask Spirit to bless your food so it rejuvenates your body. Look at food as a gift from Mother Earth and thank her for each meal. With love and gratitude food becomes life, and life will become filled with love and gratitude.
