We commune with the vibration of that which we consume.
We really are what we eat.
We can eat poison or we can eat medicine. We can eat dead food or we can eat living food. We can treat our bodies as living temples or as garbage disposals. May we choose wisely what vibrations we commune with and make space for food to serve us as God intended: as medicine.

Beyond consuming, when we open to receive, not only is consent present, but we enter the flow of reciprocity. Of giving and receiving at the same time. Giving medicine to ourselves, receiving the medicine into our bodies. Giving gratitude to Pachamama and receiving Her vibration into us. As we do our healing work, we are remembering that we are not separate from nature. Can the food we invite into our body temples assist us in this process? What we ingest affects our vibration. Eating foods closest to the source (Gaia) can assist us in remembering our own Source.
I’ve had the honor of preparing food for mindfulness and medicine retreats and I see how the food assists with the healing and integration. I also feel it in my own healing & integration. This is because having a clean inner body temple allows us to perceive reality more clearly, give from clear intention, and receive more fully. When our bodies are overloaded with food (information) and more dense and difficult to digest food, it is harder for us to feel clear and present. Making it harder for the medicine and lessons to land and settle into our systems. Thus making harder to integrate our work and keep going. We may become distracted and fatigued.
When treating food as medicine, we are showing respect for ourselves and the food. We show our body temple that it is worth keeping clean. We show the plants that we are so grateful for their generosity and intelligence. We cultivate deeper relationship with ourselves and the earth when we eat consciously. When we eat far from the earth, we are far from the earth. When we eat close to the earth, we are close to Her.
May we rest in our hearts as we cook with our hands as preparing food is a prayer. May we rest in our hearts and soften our bellies as we eat as eating is an intimate act of communion with nature and a sacred offering to our bodies.
