[Patriarch]

I barely go to church but I say I will -- I bow my head right before I eat my meals.

I don't normally mind it. but my uncle be trying to pray in taco bell and shyt. Call me ungrateful but i ain't praying for no gawt damn taco bell.

There's a good point to be found in here: do the same people that bless their meals at the lunch/dinner table do the same when they're eating in the car? Do they bless snacks or cereal at breakfast?

 

[Ooh Marty]

Thanksgiving at my aunt's house was the WOAT.

We all gathered around and started doing this long ass prayer and one of my aunt's started crying. I open my eyes and see one of her tears drop into the salad.

That's why you don't do it and they do fool. Stop bytching about shyt.

I say a brief grace before I eat anything. Not some OD 5 minute monologue. Like 10 seconds or less.

 

[IronFist]

:thisguy: honestly dont understand the purpose of this.

 

[So UnThotful]

Samoan family gatherings are the worse man, the prayer will be 20 minutes long and they will thank everything from the folks and spoons to the godamn dog having a bone

 

[Wise]

I pray a lot, multiple times a day, but for some reason I always forget before I eat. I'm gonna try discipline myself more.

Do yall do this with every meal (i.e. breakfast, lunch, late snack)?

If you have digestion problems, such as cramps, bloating, or gas, meditation can help. When people think of meditation, they often imagine it as practiced in order to reach spiritual awareness or lead a peaceful and thoughtful life. While it is true that some practitioners of meditation aim for these goals, there are many other benefits; some benefits of meditation are physical, rather than spiritual or psychological.
One of the most immediate benefits of meditation is the reduction of anxiety and stress. Meditation can help digestion because it is one of the biological processes that is most affected when the body is under stress. Meditation also improves circulation and oxygenates the blood, which in turn sends oxygen to all of your organs, including the stomach and intestines.
By calming the mind and body, meditation takes us out of stress mode. In stress mode, we stop digesting food and give less energy to all of our bodily functions. If we are constantly stressed and tense, our digestion will be secondary to our body’s primary response to stress. Meditation is the way we can relax so that we can digest our food better.
While meditation cannot make up for an unhealthy diet, if your digestion problems are tied into stress or poor circulation, meditation can help. Meditation can also help you kick bad eating habits if they are causing the problem. When you meditate, you learn to focus the mind and use the breath to overcome obstacles and gain insight. In the process, you increase feelings of well-being and the ability to control your appetite.
You can improve your digestion and your life by using simple meditation techniques. Meditation is a safe, easy, drug-free way to keep your body healthy.
