Cynthia – thank you for sharing your perspective about feeling and using the energy in your hands. I agree with your perspective on food. Sometimes I will “charge” the food I am preparing with prana and love, especially if I don’t have the luxury of or time for preparing it fresh. For example, I give my daughter heated leftovers from the previous evening’s dinner for her school lunch. I infuse it with love and intention that it will heal and nourish her body and let her know that she is loved.
