Aboriginal shamans often cook for their students.
While they're cooking,
They will be infusing the food with love and blessings.
And probably they won't be doing that directly.
It's probably just kind of a given for them that they will be cooking with that kind of attitude.
So the result is that the magnificent energy goes into the food.
And it's believed that it enhances anyone who eats it.
Now we might be going pretty fast in this culture to pay attention to these subtleties.
But there's a real truth to them.
If you look at Dr.
Emoto's work,
He studied what happened to the molecular structure of water when people prayed over it,
Or if they were focusing on gratitude,
Or if they were focusing,
Say,
On hatred,
And there would be differences in the structure of the molecules.
That's how powerful we are.
So if we cook with love,
It's used as a food and is a gift to everybody who eats it.
So maybe I know we're moving really fast to pay attention to this sort of thing.
But maybe we can begin to cook this way,
To cook with love in our hearts.
And if we're not feeling good,
We can maybe put on some music or just consciously bless the food as we're cooking.
And sort of take inner steps to work with our own state of mind,
Knowing that this is a gift for our families or our friends,
Whoever we're cooking for.
The realness of it for me is I hardly ever eat fast food because I'm always tense.
It always makes me tense.
And I'm sure this is going to be a good time and I'm sure this is connected to this great focus on getting the food out fast and not a great focus on cooking with love and thinking about the people going to be eating it.
So the whole experience can be a bit of an exercise in alienation.
So I don't do that.
That's how real it is.
You know,
Female power,
Females take life in and transform and give.
It's just the example of pregnancy,
Taking in the sperm.
And with the egg,
There's a transformation that occurs and a new baby's born.
This is the way of female power.
And men also have access.
They have the woman inside them.
So anybody can learn how to live with enhanced inner power this way.
I just think it would bring more meaning and delight to our lives if we just slow down and paid a little more attention to our inner states.
OK.
Bless your heart.
