The act of eating transforms light into consciousness. This idea was first presented to me at a recent garden talk by David Crow; but I think I've always known this wisdom on some level, especially because of my fascination with plants. The concept is that the energy of the sun and moon combines with the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) through plants to create food. We eat the food and that food, which is not us, becomes us, nourishing our body. The essence/qi/ojas/prana that is strengthened as a result of this nourishment supports our consciousness.
Think about that the next time you eat an apple!
Or a Big Mac. What kind of consciousness are you creating?

Yes! That's beautifully said.
as I sit at work eating salad while working! Starting with any kind of mindfulness would be a good place to begin! Well said Ryah :)
