Nu School Nutrition : Setting the Mood

I have fun when I cook. It is my time to relax and have a spiritual connection with my food. I am 100% convinced that energy is transferable to water and food. Watch THIS and THIS. I want to emit positive vibrations while I cut my water filled veggies, or make my fresh carrot juice, or blend a green smoothie.

My thoughts and energy will positively or negatively charge my food. Energy is neither created nor destroyed...right Einstein? It makes sense that the energy I put into my thoughts or beliefs doesn't fall to the curb. It is transferred somewhere...maybe into my mango?

So to create a space of peace and love I have created a little cooking ritual. This is how I set the mood:

1. Totally clean my entire kitchen. This will allow me to relax and enjoy my space.
2. Light a candle or two. The light from the candle always brings peace.
3. Play relaxing music. As the ultimate mood setter, I highly recommend Pandora: Thievery Corporation.
4. Pop a bottle. For me it's: Organic Martenelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. For you, maybe a Belgian Ale
or a bottle of Moscato. The point is to Celebrate our Food and Life. I drink a whole $5 bottle of
sparkling cider in the hour or so that I cook :) even using a splash here and there to cook with.
5. Send thanks and love to the creator for providing the water and sunlight to grow these magical plants. Shower the food with good vibrations.
6.Cut all my veggies, slap chop my onions, mince my garlic, etc before I cook. I cut everything and
place it in bowls to make the experience as smooth as possible. I'm going to start doing this for my
classes now too.
6.Chef it up!
