An ice cream has its unique frequency....Are you hungry for this ice cream?
Or not? If you are, a certain part of your body is requesting to attract
chemicals from this ice cream. If you don't have the appetite, your body
doesn't need any chemical from the ice cream. Your brain is most conductive
and serves as the middleman.
