The blessing of food is part of every spiritual tradition, from ancient to modern. The essence of food blessings is to help awaken us to both gratitude and awareness. Blessings help us to become become conscious of the sacred aspects of food and to the sacred aspects of life itself, including the sun, the moon and the rain. Food blessings are also a common form of spiritual and emotional nourishment because they have the power to fill us with a sense of humility, dignity, awe and wonder. Yet how often do we take the time to bless the food that we eat and the beverages that we drink? Or do we forgo that sacred time and space by mindlessly diving in, gulping it down, and taking it for granted? This teleconference is designed to help members learn about the beauty of gratitude and the ways in which it can help provide an opportunity to transform eating from a mundane activity into a holy, sacred activity.
