sweets as prasad....

i recently had an episode of losing my consciousness after an intense meditative session. a close friend , also into various processes, shared a very fascinating insight with me. He was telling me that when we are in intense prayers or meditations, a lot of sugar gets burnt up in the energy rising and it is one reason there is a tradition of sweets being distributed as "prasad" in temples.

the physical body hence sometimes feels very tired after some intense processes in the inner world.
