How does one purge low vibration desires?

[APeacefulWarrior]

Before I eat the flesh of an animal I perform a brief ritual.
This involves a thanking of the animal, an explanation of the reason for the consumption, along with a blessing in the name of The One Infinite Creator.
I experience a sort of 'shiver', from the root chakra upwards.
My work in done.
I enjoy my meal.
You might want to try this out.

Thanks, Ashim, I'll try that. What is your 'reason for consumption,' generally? Nutrients/life force that cannot be obtained elsewhere? Or what.

Just jumping in here... I discovered a transcript from Q'uo awhile back where she directly addressed the meat-eating question and turning it into a spiritual experience. You might find it interesting.

I don't want to clutter up the thread too much since it's kind of off topic, but here's the highlight. There's a lot more in the full transcript, obviously.

And as the one known as J said, barring those choices, there is always the metaphysically correct choice of relating to the animal in that timeless condition which is called “metaphysical time” wherein all things occur simultaneously, so that you are able to contact any animal, before you eat it, no matter how abused or how slaughtered. And as you contact this animal, you express your love of this animal and your appreciation for all that the animal has gone through in order to give you its energy, its consciousness, such as it is, and its love, which is very real. So, in praise, prayer and thanksgiving you heal the division between you and the meat and the animal from which that meat came.

And as you do this to your meat, dancing with the meat, becoming one with the meat, you are in effect lifting that energy to the infinite Creator, blessing it and healing all that has gone before, for the animal and for you.
