blessings

Why bless your food or water? Across many cultures, this has long been a way to express gratitude and to offer your food or drink a positive intention.

These blessings can help you eat and drink more consciously throughout the day. They invite you to pause, to honor the water that nourishes you, the food that sustains and supports your body.

Dr Masaru Emoto taught that water has memory, that it absorbs and transmits the energy of words and prayers. All our food contains water. We are made of mostly water.

Water researcher Veda Austin says: “Water is rebellious, non-conformist, eternal, and otherworldly…
just look at the power infused in everything — it’s in every living being that has ever existed.”

Her words also confirmed for me that blessing each glass of water really does make a difference.
Austin writes: “Real, conscious, loving expression changes the structure of tap water — so dynamically, so wildly…that is the power of love and intention.”

So feel free to dive into this rich collection of blessings, for your drinking water and for the food that nourishes you.
