Magical Exercise

During mealtime, use your imagination to visualise a specific thought.  Hold your hands over your plate or food and impress this thought into your food.  On every bite, visualise that you are eating this thought.  Do this for 7 to 10 days to strengthen your ability to control and direct the element of Earth.
