Blessing Your Food
Creator of All that Is (God, Divine),
It is commanded that this food that I’m about to eat be
blessed back to when it was conceived into the present
and forward, and that it be blessed with the ability to be
absorbed and assimilated into my body to give me the
highest and best nutrition. May the source from which it
comes, be it animal or plant, be blessed and thanked for
giving me the energy of life. It is commanded that
everything that I eat be supercharged and that I become
strong from it. Thank you! It is done. It is done. It is
done. (then imagine the energy charging your food)

Self-Healing Methods and Tools to
Decrease Stress & Increase Health
These Healing tools:
• Reduce the stress response, helping you to go from Stress
Mode to Healing Mode
• Some of the most cutting edge energy healing support
tools available today
• The tools are scientifically validated – so you know they
really work!
• Fastest, safest self-healing tools that I recommend
Quick 1-minute Methods
1. Alternate Nostril Breathing
• Ancient yogic method
• Balances the Left and Right sides of the brain
• Start by breathing in through the left nostril (closing off
the right) and then breathing out through the right
(closing off the left)
• Then breathe in on the right (closing off the left nostril)
and breathe out on the left (closing off the right nostril)
• To RELAX the brain more, just breathe in through the
left and out through the right over and over again
• To ACTIVATE the brain more, just do the opposite
Quick 1-minute Methods
2. Awareness Exercise
• Place the tip of the tongue in the space behind your two
front teeth at the level of the gums
• Now, just pay attention to what this feels like:
• Is there a temperature difference?
• What is the difference in texture?
• What are the muscles in your tongue doing?
• Vary the pressure. What does it feel like now?
• What is your saliva doing?
• After about 1 minute – how does the rest of your body
feel?
