Opening and Closing Food Prayer<\/span><\/h4>\n

Opening Food Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHumans are the highest form of life on Earth, but we still have to eat. <\/span>
\nIf you do not want to take a plant\u2019s life how would you survive? <\/span>
\nThe lower life forms exist to help us to preserve our species, <\/span>
\nbut you should not kill without purpose or deliberately slaughter animals. <\/span>
\nYou should respect the Ten Thousand Things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Congealing (closing) Food Prayer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf your stomach is not very good at digesting food <\/span>
\nand you cannot really eat very much, <\/span>
\nyou will not even have four ounces of power. <\/span>
\nFirst of all you will have to change your internal balance. <\/span>
\nOnce your internal functions are harmonized <\/span>
\nand you can ingest food regularly, <\/span>
\nyou can start regaining your external strength. <\/span>
\nAs soon as you have built up really huge muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger, <\/span>
\nyou stop weight lifting, <\/span>
\nbegin to transform your muscles, <\/span>
\nand put that power into your tendons, your fascia and your organs. <\/span>
\nTherefore it returns. <\/span>
\nIn the end you will have stored up incredible internal strength,<\/span>
\n but no one will notice <\/span>
\nbecause the body from the outside will seem sort of skinny. <\/span>
\nYou will appear to be just like a normal person. <\/span>
\nThis is the progression of the holistic way of internal and external strength.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
