Love to you all. We wish
to speak with you today on how you may further
your connection with Mother Earth via your
dietary habits. We will not speak as much on
what to eat as how to eat. The purpose of this
is to connect more fully with Mother Earth
because when you do so, everyone benefits.
Although many have
forgotten what it means to be One with the
Earth, a part of you has not forgotten. This is
your physical body. Your mind may feel separate
but your body does not. Your body has all the
information you need about what to eat and how.
Most people just do not tune in and ask. The
result of allowing the separation from Earth is
that you no longer feel what nourishes you. Your
existence is a Divine partnership. If you think
of the Earth as an extension of your own body
and your own body as an extension of Mother
Earth you will begin to understand why this
partnership is so important.
Your body needs to
experience this connection as does your mind,
emotions, ego, etc. When you are cut off from
the full connection, not only is it difficult to
ground, but you lose the support (abundance) and
nourishment that comes from the connection.
Nourishment comes in so many ways beyond just
food. The same is true of abundance. Mother
Earth is able to support those of you who are
allowing yourselves to be supported by her.
Support cannot be forced.
Mother Earth is “designed”
to sustain life. Like all mothers, her essence
is to nourish and of course, she loves to be
loved in return. She has so much to offer but
that does not mean she does not need love in
return. All life “on” this planet requires love
to flourish. The includes the Earth herself.
Mother Earth does not measure who gives what and
respond in measure. She does not judge. She is
“home” and “home” is always there when you need
it.
When you eat in community
with the Earth, you are making home for
yourself. Home is a place where your needs are
easily met. A place where you feel comfortable,
loved and appreciated. Where you can be you.
This is the essence of home, its highest
archetype. You are fed, nourished and welcomed.
We will discuss food here, but food is symbolic
of being fed in many ways, as you will see.
The key to eating in
community with Mother Earth is feeling the
support system that is available for you. It is
one thing to know you are being supported and
another to feel it. Especially for many
lightworkers who really want to be somewhere
else. Lightworkers tend to be ungrounded by
memories of another place and time that seems a
lot easier and less threatening. Allowing
yourself to feel the support system will enable
you to fear less and thus nurture yourself more.
Food is one way of understanding the support
system. It is a common thread for human
existence and thus a currency that can be used
for healing.
The food you eat carries
many energies. It carries the vitamins and
minerals, yes, but it also carries the elements
of Earth, Air, Fire, Water. It carries the
energies of the place it grew. It carries the
love of the Devas of every company that
transported it. The love of the Souls who have
families much like yours who depend on that food
to financially support their families as well.
The food may carry the energy of the bees that
helped to pollinate it, the birds that
appreciated it as they flew by. It carries the
nourishment of the colors that it is. Colors
have healing energy specific to your chakras. We
could go on about the energies your food
carries, but we will not. You get the idea. We
do want to stress here that when we talk about
love energy in food, we are talking about a
level of light that transcends the politics of
the Earth plane.
The key to eating in
community with Mother Earth is recognizing that
when you eat, you are opening to the
interconnectedness and sacredness of all life.
Some religions say prayers before they eat. Some
will call those prayers “Grace.” We like the
word Grace because it is the Grace of the
interconnectedness that allows you to survive.
Without all the energies mentioned above, it
would be difficult to eat at all. This Grace
also extends to your human body. When you eat,
your body does not just process food for your
health. It also runs on the sacred
interconnectedness of all life. This supports
you in so many ways beyond vitamins and
minerals. This is the way your body helps you to
feel “home.” The way home is via community.
Especially in the 4th dimensional realities and
beyond that you are currently existing in. Since
your existence is One with the Earth, She
benefits from the community with you as you
become more conscious. Your bodies and hers are
One. You breathe and love and your heart beats
together.
We suggest that before you
eat, you allow yourself to acknowledge the state
of Grace, of sacred interconnectedness that
nourishes, supports and loves you. We do not
mean to create a list of people to thank, but
rather to feel how supported you are and in the
process, the love and gratitude will support
those who support you. Feel your heart and the
heart of Mother Earth beating in unison. Feel
your breath as One with all those whose breath
and labor went into bringing the food to you.
Hear the sounds of nature. Notice the joy in the
colors of your food. The crunchiness, the
sweetness. Be in anticipation with your body.
Make all of you a partner in the eating
experience. It is essential in doing this that
you be grounded. Before starting, place your
feet flat on the floor and clear your mind. Feel
the support of your chair underneath you. Feel
the Earth at your feet. Tune in to your body and
feel the weight of it. Sense all of you working
together as a system.
When you eat in this way,
the whole world eats with you. We are with you
as well, setting a place of joy at your table.
Eating in this way adds a new awareness, one
that benefits all, whether they are physically
sitting at the table with you or not. They may
as well be.
