When physician Donald Morse of Temple University did research with female students, he asked them to meditate for 5 minutes before eating, then also to do mental arithmetic for 5 minutes before eating. When the students meditated, they produced 22% more of an enzyme in saliva called alpha-amylase, which helps you break down carbohydrates and B vitamins in food. This suggests that if you eat in a relaxed, mindful, present state of mind, you'll absorb more nutrients, and in this way, may improve health.

You are a mind/body/spirit energy field, and it is crucial to keep the body in tune with itself through exercise and nutrition. Spend just a few days eating an organic diet of vegetables and fruits while drinking distilled water (such as reverse osmosis) and you'll be amazed at how much more spiritually healthy you feel.

Perhaps refraining from junk food, tobacco, aspartame, saturated fats, processed foods, factory raised meats, and fluoride could be something to aim for come this new year. Praying over your food actually changes the molecular structure of the food molecules to allow for better digestion.

 "To receive the most subtle particles in the food, you must be fully conscious, wide awake, and full of love. If the entire system is ready to receive food in that perfect way, then the food is moved to pour out its hidden riches…when food opens itself, it gives you all that it has in the way of pure, divine energies."
 -O. M. Aivanbov

 "When we look at nutrition from a purely scientific point of view, there is no place for consciousness. And yet, consciousness could be one of the crucial determinants of the metabolism of food itself."
 ~ Deepak Chopra., M.D.

As much as we like to dedicate all of our energy on "enlightenment" and spirit well-being, remember that your body is the vessel of the soul. It is the vehicle in which your consciousness expresses itself. How can you expect to tune into spiritual energies when the bodily energies are completely disrupted? You are a mind/body/spirit energy field, and it is crucial to keep the body in tune with itself through exercise and nutrition.
