Never do a quick, half-hearted prayer over your food.
Stop and observe your plate. Become conscious of what it is bringing youโproteins, fats, or carbs. The simpler, the better.
As gratitude lifts you, you become ready to transform your meal into soul substance.
This is genuine prayer. Now give thanks in humility, and do not look at any electronic device as you eat slowly. If your attention drifts even once from this part of your day, you have forgotten the sacredness of the moment.
Spiritualize the food. That is part of what you are here to do.
