> “Food is magic. Its power over us is undeniable. From the sweet, rich lure of a freshly baked brownie to an exquisite steamed artichoke, food continues to seduce us.
Food is life. We can’t continue to live without its magic.
Food, however, also harbors energies. When we eat, our bodies absorb those energies, just as they absorb vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates, and other nutrients.
Though we may not be aware of any effect other than a sated appetite, the food has subtly changed us… Eating is merging with the earth. It is a life-affirming act. Ritually preparing and eating specific foods is an effective method of enhancing and improving our lives.”
TRY THIS:
Before your next meal, take a moment to breathe in its aroma, feel the warmth, and thank the Earth for her gifts 
Let your food nourish not just your body—but your spirit, too.
