“People throughout the world may look different or have a different religion, education, or position, but they are all the same. They are the people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.”
—Mother Teresa (via yogapractice)
“Not everyone makes time to pray, study the scriptures, or think about God each day, but most everyone makes time to eat. If our heart and mind are focused on experiencing food as a love note from God, eating becomes not only a way to nourish and love ourselves, but each meal becomes a time for enhanced spiritual awareness and gratitude to God. It becomes a way to directly experience a meaning of ‘give us this day our daily bread’. It provides a regular opportunity for the conscious eater to take the time to receive and read God’s love note, rather than toss it unconsciously into the garbage can of the stomach. Eating consciously is a way of opening one’s heart to God. It is a way to feel the Divine presence.”
—Gabriel Cousens, Conscious Eating (via dirtcrumbgoddess)
