How to energise food and drink?

[777]

Hi all.

Energising food and drink is something I've never done (or blessing as some call it). As I continue through my journey it's become very apparent to me that this is an extremely useful exercise to be doing for physical, mental and spiritual health. I've also found that during the eating process, gratitude in thought can really enhance the taste that you're experiencing quite dramatically!

Thus I have two questions for anyone knowledgeable about this subject:

* How does one energise/bless food and drink exactly? (I do accept following Bills' post in the Inelia thread that sincerity in meaning is of upmost importance).

* My family will get cross with me if I make some sort of ritual at the start of a meal, should I bless their food without their knowing, or should I try to encourage this?

Any help would be great!

This is a profound subject that deserves a lot of attention. Everyday, for most of us we eat and drink and pay little attention to the energetics of it. We hear the expression Ýou are what you eat' but how much of that do we really understand or bother with? Food and drink joins intimately with your body-mind, chemically and energetically, day in day out. How much more important can this be?

When I practiced Reiki I used to energise my meals before eating to remove negative energy and activate the nutritional content as much as possible. This is quite normal for Reiki practitioners. Now days, I have a more holistic view that encompasses the quality of life of the food itself, the energetics of the country or region it comes from, how it has been handled/processed/distributed before I eat it. And finally the way in which I experience food, the mood I'm in and the way I join with it is essential for health and wellbeing.

There is a lot of detail to unpack in that... Before adding more, Is that the way you want to go?

Hi 1159, thanks a lot for your response.

I'm kundalini reiki attuned and can readily feel the energy as it moves out of my palm chakras. I have never thought of using this to energise a meal, which strikes me as mighty dumb as I type this! Yes, this is certainly the way I'd like to go so any information would be great if you think you could help?!

Your holistic view of food is something in mind whenever I eat, but given the many stages of production and processing that food goes through I'm unsure how to combat any negative energy therein. Again, any pointers here would be great! You know, it never occured to me the mood I was in during eating, I feel very naive.

Thanks again.

Hello 777, you can guess some of the roads to go down here. Eating seasonally, organically and locally are the buzzwords that lead to good food energies naturally. If you eat a diet of poor quality junk food, be aware that this sort of 'food' is basically dead energetically, so you have a lot of work to do to raise the vibration. Let me wrap up some thoughts and I'll posts again soon.

Never underestimate the power of blessings! New experiments with water and beautiful crystals they form when blessed by anyone ~ in this recent case by a Monk can be found on YouTube. Many other tests and scientific evidence is coming forth now and reveal these wonders we didn't know before, so stay tuned into these great topics. Another study recently released was by John Hopkins University Hospital that revealed anything put into a microwave killed any nutritional value of whatever you place into these deadly life killing machines. They used water that was boiled normally compared to water heated up in a microwave and put each into a plant. The plant that srivelled and died used water from a microwave. The healthy one used water naturally boiled. They went way out on a limb and stated in this study that microwaved food caused cancer. I found this tidbit on Nesara International online who reprinted the study last week.

My life changed radically when I first heard about this fact from celestials. My family can't believe I won't eat things out of the microwave anymore. As far as blessing food goes. I came from a religious family who blesses anything not nailed down completely but I go even further having lived by myself for about 10 years (of bliss but don't tell anyone I said that ; ) I always have a habit of blessing all the food and the way I look at it ~ it's no secret to the universe, no one has to accept blessings but I always love to put them out there anyway just in case someone is up for it. Bless and cherish all the things you can find that will stand still for two seconds and your life becomes filled with so much love! Just feel really free to pass along the best and brightest you can muster up on a cold or cloudy day and before you realize it, it gets much brighter and sunnier and in my neck of the literal woods, it's a very sweet thing to be a part of at all times. Be blessed! Why? Because it's a great choice! And so it is.... Now I go back to my kittens ; ) xoxoxoxoxox

Thanks, Darla. Patricia Cori in her book "The Cosmos of Soul" also advises us not to use microwave.

Yes, as a reiki facilitator I use the energy for so many things....and also, for raising the vibration of food, water, the bach florals, the crystals, the vitamins...LOL I could keep on and on...

Never used the microwave...I have an electronic engineer in the family and he explained everybody why we should not use it...so nobody has one, not even to warm up soup !

Ps- A while ago, i was given a new reiki symbol, by a reiki Master, and it is specially for «clearing» the water from all the suff they put in it.

Darla, the humour and energy around your posts is an absolute joy to behold, you properly crack me up.......in a good way I mean! Now that you've put it in such a simple-that-I-should-have-got-it-bloomin-years-ago kind of way sign me up for Blessing-Fest!

Thank you.

Certainly agree with the part I've put in bold, although I tend to stay away from junk food these days. I'd love to get into a situation where I'm completely self-sufficient so the energy could be being poured into fruit and vegetables as it's nurtured aswell as during preparation and eating.

I checked out your website, very informative and professional. Looking forward to your post and thanks for helping me.

The christian mudras for blessing - The sign of the cross is done on oneself, over the head of one or several people, houses, food and water etc...

The water is blessed, thus becoming the « Holy Water» :)

Reikians will recognize here several of those mudras that are used for the blessing. As one can observe , there is the joining of the tips of the fingers, just like in yoga pratice

In this video there is also a mudra for blessing the water ...LOL
Many of the mudras presented have medical applications, others are for meditation.
