Gratitude
What is Gratitude? How does it effect us? Another word for gratitude is thankfulness, so when we are thankful, we have gratitude. Do those words and/or feelings have an effect on our physical body? What about our emotions and our spirit? Some interesting research has been going on in
Dr. Emoto’s experiments have shown some dramatic effects on water with words and music. Since our bodies consist of 80-90% water, what effects do words and music have on us? What effect do you think we have on others as a result of our words and thoughts? Also, what effect do we have on food that is taken into our body by word and thoughts?
What effect do you think these words might have? “This is going to make me sick.” “This is going to make me fat.” “ This is not good for me.” “This is going to go right to my hips.” Verses. “This is good for me.” “I’m going to feel good after my meal.” “This food will make me healthy.” “This makes me feel strong.” “Thank you for such a wonderful meal.” “I love…”
How many of us pray before a meal or say grace? Is it a routine or do we really think about what we are saying? Our words have power. How do we affect our food by our words and thoughts? Some suggestions of gratitude might be to thank the food for providing the necessary nutrients to sustain our lives. Give gratitude for the health it will bring us. Bless the food so your body will be able to use what it needs to be strong and healthy. Bless our bodies to be able to assimilate and use the good things from the food we eat and to be able to eliminate any harmful parts of the food. If you are somewhere and can’t give gratitude and a blessing out loud, take a moment and do it in silence. Your food and you will be better off for it.
