Can you pump up your chocolate with intention?
Gosh, I missed this article a few months ago!

http://www.jonathanfields.com/blog/can-you-pump-up-your-chocolate-with-the-power-of-intention/

Some double blind study they did on chocolate, of all things. I don't have the nerve (or time) to put it in Science.

Yes, it’s true, the right kind of chocolate, organic 70% dark, can actually make you not only smile, it can scavenge those nasty little free-radical critters from your body, enhance your mood, help you live longer and gain you lots of friends! But, now I’ve just learned…

There may be something pretty astonishing you can do to your sweet, brown love-morsels to make them even better for you.

You’re never gonna believe what it is. I didn’t when I first learned heard it. But then someone I respected greatly, someone bright and well-educated with a myth-busting bent sent me a copy of the research that seemed to prove the outrageous claims…

Eating chocolate pumped-up with good-intentions makes you feel better!

1. I want to be one of the experiment participants...
I don't care in which group I'm placed. I'll eat chocolate to benefit humanity!

:bounce:

Actually, this is really interesting. I wonder why they chose chocolate. Why not just a sugar pill?

Thanks, itsjustme. :)

5. probably can easily "charge" any dark chocolate
Intention, intention. I have a feeling there might be a wave of new scientific intention studies over the next decade.

I heard David Sereda interviewed, and he thought the answer to why cold fusion works in some laboratories and not in others is because of intention. He said it would cost a few million dollars to test, but would be worth it.

6. Another good reason to eat this 88% dark I've got here
:D

And to wind down from the latest anti-natural-remedy argument going on in, of all places, the Lounge.

8. wow. I should have looked at this sooner

I give my mother chocolate covered caramels for Christmas every year, her favorite. Maybe I'll send her intention covered caramels for Valentine's day. She could use a little sense of well-being.

This reminds me of the chocolates in the movie Chocolat.

I do all the cooking in my house. Maybe I should start infusing the family meal with intention? The holidays are a good time to start.

9. Yeah, you can bless it or/and run heart energy through it. That'd up its frequency.
Like that Japanese guy does with water.
