A vegetarian of 12 years, my New Year's resolution was to try out veganism (hold the groaning, please and thank you). I ran to half price books, desperately searching for vegan-ish cookbooks, when I stumbled across this gem. I love it. Why? According to Ek Ong Kar Singh and Jacqueline Koay, food that is "lovingly prepared is charged with energy." Literally. All the recipes in this book are to be made using natural measurements-- cupped hands substitute for measuring cups, and pinches replace teaspoons. According to the cookbook, "locking the fingers of the hands in certain positions creates pathways that guide energy flow and reflexes to your brain." And it feels good.
Also, you're supposed to meditate on your food. Here's a recipe for healing water.
Fill a large glass jar with water and then prepare the affirmations:
Love, Light, Peace
Cosmic, Infinite, God
Healthy, Happy, Holy
Harmony, Balance, Alignment
Place the jar near you while meditating. When you finish hold it between your hands to transfer the powerful healing prana from your hands to the water. Use healing water in your cooking to enhance the energy.
I haven't tried this one yet. Seems awfully complicated for water...
