Prayer before eating

It’s been a while since I wanted to add family prayers at mealtime, but I couldn’t bring myself to the traditional method. Recently, this one came to me (I was resting with my son and had to get up to start writing it right away!). It is so fitting! I did other iterations of it that I stick on my medicine-making jars too, and one for water.

When eating, it is important to let our food know what we wish for it to do for us! Each of our cells listens and how the food will be processed by our body is altered by the instruction we give it. I could pull the scientific data about it, but truly, if you're on here, you most likely understand this already!

Place your hand over the food and put your whole intention into your words, hold hands with each other, or whatever you see fit.

Thank you so much for your abundance, for your willingness to nourish me and my family. May you remember your essence, the reason for your life and your spirit.

Please nourish our bodies and provide all your God-given nutrients and spiritual gifts to our organs, in a way that will renew them, and make us feel optimal in all the ways.

We are humbled by your willingness to share yourself with us and shall take care of you and yours as you care for us.

And so it is.
