Opening and Closing Food Prayer
Opening Food Prayer
“Humans are the highest form of life on Earth, but we still have to eat.
If you do not want to take a plant’s life how would you survive?
The lower life forms exist to help us to preserve our species,
but you should not kill without purpose or deliberately slaughter animals.
You should respect the Ten Thousand Things.”

Congealing (closing) Food Prayer
“If your stomach is not very good at digesting food
and you cannot really eat very much,
you will not even have four ounces of power.
First of all you will have to change your internal balance.
Once your internal functions are harmonized
and you can ingest food regularly,
you can start regaining your external strength.
As soon as you have built up really huge muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger,
you stop weight lifting,
begin to transform your muscles,
and put that power into your tendons, your fascia and your organs.
Therefore it returns.
In the end you will have stored up incredible internal strength,
but no one will notice
because the body from the outside will seem sort of skinny.
You will appear to be just like a normal person.
This is the progression of the holistic way of internal and external strength.”
