Everyone agrees about the importance of food, its quality and freshness. But how we eat is a matter of even greater importance. Most people spend their mealtimes chatting, gesticulating and squabbling, and in the middle of all this they occasionally put something in their mouth. They see nothing abnormal in this and believe that, no matter what the conditions, their organism will receive and distribute the elements necessary for its proper functioning. Well, this is not always the case: all kinds of liver, stomach and intestinal problems are caused by the conditions in which people eat. Someone will say: ‘But I have always had an excellent digestion!’ Good, but how long will it last? It is also important to know that food contains subtle forces and elements which you can only receive through conscious nutrition. These elements which belong to the etheric, astral and even the mental planes can help you improve your thoughts, your feelings and all aspects of your conduct. Yes, but only if you learn to eat consciously.
