I am so grateful to have connected with "Spiritual Experience Tours" the best hosts of any that I have ever attended; very thorough and truly cares about everyone, so I will be sure to go to any of their events in the future. I really enjoyed myself and met some new friends that have made a dramatic impact on my life for the better!

This trip was truly a life changing experience for me. Words can not express the deep graditude I feel for the time I was able to share with my new friends in Cancun. I feel very blessed. We went to the Mayan Pyramids and I went swimming right there on the site. The purity felt within the water was the most elation I can ever recall feeling in this life. I could fill a book with my experiences, transformations, healings, connections, and syncronicities that took place during my week.

Bringing Light Energy into Your Meals

Bringing Light Energy into your Meals

By Gina O'Connor

Every religious tradition in the world emphasizes the importance of the sacred nature of food and how important the diet can be for spiritual adherents. Your existence is a Divine partnership with the Earth and your body needs to experience this connection in relationship. Thus, it is crucial to acknowledge and ground yourself into its support. In doing so, you will discover that your body has all the information you need about what to eat and how. Most people just do not tune in and ask. The result of allowing the separation from Earth is that you no longer feel what nourishes you.

The food you eat contains much energy. It carries vitamins and minerals, but it also carries the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. It carries the energies of the place it grew and how it was cared for. The food may carry the energy of the bees that helped to pollinate it, the birds as they flew by. It carries the energy of the colors. In all food there is a level of light. Food contains a light fiber energy which can be diminished by disrespect. And this disrespect can rob it of its strength anywhere along the line – in handling, processing, cooking, or eating. However, it is also true that light fiber energy, being more flexible than vitamins or proteins, can be restored to food by respecting it and treating it as sacred – by ritualizing the activities connected with it.

The key to eating is to respect and bring thankfulness and light into your food. Some religions say prayers before they eat or say “grace”. Grace is an appropriate word because it acknowledges the idea that it is through grace that we survive through our connection with the life essence supporting us and the food that sustains our bodies. The process of prayer or meditation while eating is also an expression of a feeling of thankfulness and union with your meal. While eating, one should slowly chew, taste, smell, listen, and feel mindfully the essence of your food and body. Place your feet on the floor and clear your mind. Tune and sense all of this working as an integral system of nourishment.

You may also choose to restore your food’s light properties and change its vibration by blessing its ingredients or growing some of it on your own and visualize light going in it to nourish it. You could even talk to your plants! Even if you just put in herbs that you grew, this can bring vitality to your meal. Processed and overcooked meal or food that has been handled with disrespect or cruelty is what kills your food and can affect your body and health. You can counteract the potential detriments by blessing your ingredients, growing your food or saying grace and energizing with positive vibrations. The practice of this will in turn, benefit your overall wellbeing and raise your vibrational frequency.

Here is one example of a food blessing:

Divine most powerful (insert individual preference) I ask that you bless the Water/Food that I hold between my hands and heal me completely, mind, body, heart and spirit.

I ask that the water/food be enriched with every vitamin, mineral, herb or homeopathic remedy or healing vibration that I may need to fill my being with, in order to restore me back to 100% full health both mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I ask that this Water/Food be empowered with an energy so great and so magical that it clears my cluttered mind of all disruptive thoughts and clears my body of all negativity and illness, helping me also to cut ties with the past and release me from anything and anyone that is stopping me from moving forward and upward onto a more joyful, satisfying and healthy lifestyle.

May this water/food be the most divine, sacred and blessed Water/Food that has ever existed on this earth plane and may it have a miraculous influence on me and on my life in general. I ACCEPT that I am being healed on all levels and that I DESERVE that healing!

I am at one with the divine source that surrounds me and I am free to express myself in which ever way I choose.

May this healing received be an example to others so that they too can gain the faith that I have found within me and progress as I am progressing, and may I as your instrument of divine healing go onto perform miracle after miracle in your name.

I Humbly Thank You.

Or a simple one is to hold your hand or hands palm down over the food. Think to yourself or say aloud,

“I raise this food to my vibration. Every cell in my body is programmed to use this food for normal, healthful functioning.”

Repeat three times. If you are sensitive to energies, you will feel the energy field change. Take a minute to let the energies shift whether you feel them or not.

Another one- This food is Brahma (God). The one who is eating is Brahma. The act of
eating is also Brahma".

Some other important tips:

Don't Overeat!

* Fill the stomach half-way with food
* One quarter with water
* Keep one quarter free for movement of air

You should have proper restraint over your food. Your food should be nutritious, but you must not eat too much.

I hope that this information brings you much healing, light and appreciation for the food and earth that sustains you. Namaste. [/size]
