Hi all!
. We've started playing with doing 30 Days of an Abe food warm-up that follows, and posting about the process.
1. Here is the original thread, called "Earnestly seeking assistance with finding the quotes from Abraham concerning the food warm up."

3. Here is our countdown ticker! Anyone who wants to join in now, PLEASE DO, and keep your own internal ticker!
4. And most importantly, here is the process suggested by Abe:
From the Mexican Cruise, Jan 2008
Before you put yourself before the banquets where you’ll eat tonight, do your Vibrational Warm-up. Spend at least as much time as you’ll spend in the eating of the meal, and by that we mean, you’ll actually have a less than 15 minutes all added together where you are actually putting something in your mouth, chewing it and swallowing it. In other words it’s not a very long period of time even if you linger over a longer mealtime, usually.
Spend the 15 minutes of coming into alignment about food, before you put yourself in the place where you are actually eating the food, and if you would do that consistently for about 30 days, try it and begin to watch what happens.
This is the sort of self-dialogue that we would have about it:
"Tonight I am going to be in an environment where I will have many wonderful choices relative to food and I want to know that whatever I choose my body will be just fine about.
"I like understanding that I have a body of trillions of cells who are all experts at knowing their work in my body and I am so pleased that I don’t have to have a board meeting where I instruct each one of them what they need to do while I slumber or while I walk, in other words, I’m happy that my body knows what to do.
"And I am consciously aware that my intelligent body is maintaining and doing a good job of keeping me, in terms of physicality, where I want to be.
"So tonight I know that I’m going to be in an environment where I will have a lot of choices and I am looking forward to feeling the ease of the choices that are before me, understanding that there are no really wrong choices for me to make. That I have this resilient body, a body that understands everything about the content of the food that I’m going to be eating, that understands everything about converting the food that I’m going to be eating into the energy that I call my physicality.
"And it is pleasing to me to know that this is not something that I need to have concern about. I’ve got a body that knows what to do when I let it do it. So tonight I’m going to be aware and maybe different than I’ve been at other times that I’ve been eating.
"Each time that I feel myself tensing a little bit over a choice that I might be making, I’m going to just relax and say to myself 'there are no wrong choices here. There are no bad choices here. Everything that is possible here is within the comfort zone of my body in knowing what to do.'
"I know that as I’ve been living life, I have created a picture of the way I want to be, most important of the way I want to feel, most important of the vitality I want to live, also important the way I look, the way I move, the way my body continues to be, the way I feel in my clothes. All of this I’ve been putting into Vibrational Escrow and I feel confident that I’ve painted a picture that is complete and as I want it to be and I feel confident that my cells of my body, who are vibrational transmitting and receiving mechanisms, are fully aware of that image and are utterly compliant with it.
"So if I can resist my normal temptation to “freak out” over food, and instead I can replace that with an attitude of relaxing and confidence in my body’s ability to manage and know what to do, then this will be, it is my plan for this evening, the most delightful and delicious meal of my life experience.
"I like taking myself out of the management of the cells of my body, which I’ve never had any control over. I don’t understand metabolism, I don’t know what they do. I don’t understand the chemistry of my body, I’ve read all of those books and all of them are wrong, I don’t know about that, but my body knows and I trust my body.
"So these things I do know. I know that I have created a Vibrational Escrow and I know that I have a body that I can trust and I know that I’m going to be sitting before a delectable banquet and all things are going to be offered to me, and I know that all is well, relative to me and food. "
And if you would spend that much conversation with yourselves 2-3 times a day before your meals, you would bring yourself into alignment with your food. And you will become one of those that people will watch you and say “How in the world do you manage to live in a world of imbibing and consuming and maintaining?” and you say “Because I’ve turned it over to the aspects of my body that know what to do. I have gotten out of the way. I’m no longer trying to do things that I don’t understand and in the process messing up the energy balance or alignment of my being."
You see, it’s not big thoughts that create big things or big problems. It’s the day to day thoughts that you think.
"Because I’ve turned it over to the aspects of my body that know what to do!"
It should be a really good meal tonight!
Guest: It will be!
From the Mexican Cruise Abraham-Hicks workshop, Jan 2008
 
Let's be easy about all of this, and let it be fun! That's why I'm doing it. I want just to enjoy meals, eating, my body, LIFE! It's a pleasure to have all these people on a similar path! It's so exciting!
Welcome, all! Here we go!

Was just listening to a wonderful workshop and the point of telling a different story relating to every aspect of life was in the closing points.
In relating to this thread, as I prepare to eat and in many other times there will be a shift in this 30 days when I will stop myself in the middle or before telling a story and have the desire to tell the story of myself and my body and my system in a way that is slightly vibrationally changed and as this new story changes and the new belief systems are there a change must occur. It is law.

It's an amazing feeling to really appreciate and savour my food choices sans any judgement. Food tastes better! My love affair with me continues and I actually feel completely comfortable and beautiful in my own skin more and more each day!

Maureen!
That is so good! Totally worth the wait...
It actually brought tears to my eyes as I read it.
How's it going for you?
For me, I have some stuff with my body still left over, but I am listening to Abe right now, and continuing loving myself JUST THE WAY I AM.
I did some lovely Virtual Reality today, let me bask in that more.
I love everything we all bring to this!!!
xooxoxoox

[edited to add this, from my email to Tree]
I want to acknowledge myself for noticing that I was about to eat to feel better, and remembered "I only eat when I'm having downstream thoughts." and didn't!!!!! Just like CrazyDaisy the other day!
good for me!
and also, a pair of my exercise pants are almost falling off! I keep having to roll down the waistband of my pants to make them stay on, three different
pairs!!!!
this is a good sign.
YAY!
NB I also gave away an old pair of pants that felt tight when I put them on. I don't need that!!!
love to all

Well,I'm doing trying to be very downstream when I eat and although not always possible, things have been very good for me with food the last few days. I think it is a cumulative effect of this process starting to settle in a bit. My processing seems really improved.
How is everyone else doing out here?

I was surfing around Youtube tonight and came across a vid called "Life is a blessing". It turned out to be about the Jewish custom of saying a blessing before eating (blessings are also said for other reasons, but it was the food aspect that got my attention).
The concept is called "yehudi" which they translated as meaning "thanks" .. what's cool is that the feminine version of that is my Hebrew name 
The point of the vid is saying the blessings before food is a way of focusing the mind on what is about to be eaten and appreciating it and its Source. Although I knew of and have taken part in the custom, I'd never seen it in quite this way before.
Love
Isobel

I'm trying to decide where to go grab a bite and I thought of my warm up, so came here to freshen up with some quotes.
I am the only one here without a warmup buddy,lol.
It's lonely on the leading edge of foodwarmupdom.
 P.
That is really great Maureen.Thanks

Thank you Suncat, that is great. In thinking about this warmup I was wondering something. I've noticed that I've been doing quite well with this. My issues have been more of a processing nature and things seem great yet i've been forgetting my warmups lately.
I suppose as I was doing a lot of asking to my body, perhaps I'm just allowing now and the cells are responding? Just curious. More appreciation is always good though.
Blessings

Yes Phil - I noticed the Warmups peterring out for me too - but there is always consciousness now - I love your "take" that the Cells are responding now anyway - why wouldn't they? They are so intelligent - its how we feel isn't it - if you feel good - and if that feels good - It is So!!!!!
Love Suncat

Perfect timing Dynamita I just refreshed the page and there was your post.
I don't have a buddy either and I'm in the UK - want to hook up?

Wow - such big changes are happening for me since we started the Warmup. I had a busy period that I wasn't applying the Warmup every meal (and thats so positive here - cos I am not falling for the "You broke your diet/promise/committment pattern!)
In recent days I realise what I want for my body is really changing - forever its been thinness - no cellulite - feminine - firm
Now it seems to be more about how I feel - I want to feel light - I want my body to be Vibrationally Aligned to Wellbeing and Vitality. I want to be flexible and supple.I want to keep moving. I am not so bothered with how my body looks as long as I feel fantastic. That makes so much more sense to me, it feels personal at last - something I can feel rather than a picture. And that changing atttitude is affecting how I feel about Exercise too - I want to do it cos it feels good and it makes my body alive and awake - I feel happy when I move in a way that is about feeling good (rather than exercise, losing weight, firming and toning etc)
And I have had the funniest experiences with food - and looking forward to more. On reading that Abe says everything is alive - I decided to really make friends with my food - MAKE "THEM"Real! - - talking to biccys, interviewing tomatoes, complimenting muesli!!! It is fun and its really changing the energy even more around eating for me - so as well as Rampages I am Communing With My Food!!!! (i'll have to keep an eye out for passers-by - I must look pretty crazy!)
Oh - A Big WELL DONE to everyone here - I am so proud of you and so happy to be part of this!
Love Suncat
