“Send healing energy into your food. In China there’s a famous saying, “Eating is healing.” Mealtime is considered one of the best times to help balance the energy in the body.

When you sit down to eat, connect with the love energy in your heart, place your hand over your food, and say a prayer, silently or aloud. Thank the food.

Direct positive messages to enhance its energy, making it more beneficial for you. You can even direct your messages to purify the energy in less healthy foods or to address a particular health concern or issue.

Be specific in your prayer, such as, “This food is the best medicine for the pain in my lower back. After eating it, the pain will be completely gone.”
