Everyone knows the importance of having a healthy and balanced diet. It is not only about organic preparations, nutrients, fruits and calories, but equally about the water we drink and the food we eat. These must have vibrations, which become a part of our system once consumed. They directly influence our thoughts, mood and sanskaras. 

The one who prepares the food must prepare it with divine feelings and should be energising the meal. This raises the meals and our vibrations. 

Do you eat nutritious food, watch calories, avoid junk, but still do you feel dull or fatigued? Have you thought about the fact that food and water absorb vibrations from their surroundings? 

Food’s vibrational energy is as important as its nutritional energy. The vibrations in our food influences our state of mind. It is important to choose a high energy diet and prepare each meal with a peaceful state of mind. 

Before we begin eating our meal, let us make it a practice to meditate for 30 seconds, offer gratitude and bless the meal before eating. We can also add our affirmations along with the blessings, like saying:

I am a happy being…

I have everything I need… 

Eat only food that has been prepared in a clean environment and eat it with a powerful state of mind. Just before every meal, withdraw from all distractions, remain peaceful and happy, and offer a prayer to thank God for having food in my plate. Offer gratitude to the people who have prepared it and served it so lovingly.

Even send out thoughts of gratitude to the farmer who has grown the food on his farm.  

Your thoughts and vibrations become a part of your every meal as also the water you drink. They get energised. Eat only what is healthy for your body; always prioritise health over taste. 

Once, taking energised food and water becomes a habit, you will experience good emotional health as well as physical health. While eating, remain focused on the meal before you and for those 10 to 15 minutes, eat in silence, without negative conversations and comments about the food. Respect the food and have a beautiful relationship with it. In this way, what you eat and drink will become sattvik. In other words, your food will become prasad and water will become amrit. 

By healing your mind and body, you will enjoy the benefits of perfect health.
