Food For Thought

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Food For Thought.”

All food is prepared for the Supreme, never for oneself.
Be aware of the sacred nature of all food and maintain an attitude of reverence in the same way as the gardener.
Dedicate work to the Supreme.
Make the place of work as clean and as pleasant as you can.
Keep all the utensils in good order.
Try to choose a diet that builds harmony.
Maintain a flow of loving thought during the preparation of food, in whatever way you can.
However you think during the preparation will in essence be consumed.
Realize that the food you serve, both yourself and others, will contain your love in subtle form.

- Jack Santa Maria

The homework is to commit to preparing as much of your own food as you can for a week. Work to have loving energy as you prepare your food and imagine the nourishment that your cooking will provide. As you consume what you have made welcome the loving energy you instilled in the food and the nourishment it will provide.
Blessings,
