From all my research what matters most is that you say thanks, or honor the life that sacrificed itself for you. This is mine... I receive this sustenance gratefully, appreciating all the forms of life that have offered themselves for my benefit. I ask that these life forms be given a better future incarnation. May my actions be beneficial and relieve suffering. May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. Feel free to use it our make your own up. Fastest way I know to raise your vibe is to go fully into your heart and balance your 5 elements. We are All made of the 5 elements, when they are out of balance so are we. When we get close to death the first element to dissolve is the earth and we can see this by how the elderly hunch, they can no longer stand up straight. I always look for the evidence and follow my heart.

Thanks for sharing. I have heard that as well before.
My understanding in connecting with the consciousness is also about gratitude to the all.
I find my best connect to heart there in gratitude and in giving find the most joy these days.
Many many things have become simply no longer important and by that I mean material things mostly.
I find that I do not want to spend much time with negative even tho I know I have to continue to help fight this battle.
I have also a magnetic pull to want to travel now just to see places that God created and I have really never cared to travel before.
Things change.

Angels Here... just wanted to say a huge "Thank you". I see how you bring people together and comfort. Thank you for your contribution to humanity. May you be as blessed as you make others feel. Thank you, from my heart to yours.
