“Food reveals our connection with the earth.
Each bite contains the life of the sun and the earth…..
We can see and taste the whole universe in a piece of bread!
Contemplating our food for a few seconds before eating,
and eating in mindfulness,
can bring us to much happiness.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“Mindful eating is about awareness.
When you eat mindfully,
you slow down,
pay attention to the food you’re eating,
and savor every bite.”
~ Susan Albers
“Mindful eating is a way
to become reacquainted
with the guidance of
our internal nutritionist.”
~ Jan Chozen Bays

Reblogged this on Lorraine's frilly freudian slip and commented:
We forget to be mindful in all things. Looking forward to her post on mindfulness eating.

I have tried this several times and then slip right back into mindless eating–LOL! Monks bless their food before they eat it. Eat slowly. Next thing I am eating while I am watching a youtube video. Great reminder.

I try, but I eat in front of the TV way too often.

I need to start doing this more than I do.Gratitude for those who planted and harvested and so forth. Gratitude to Mother Nature for covering the fields with sunshine and rain. So many thing to be grateful for.

Thich Nhat Hanh quotes rock! Definitely need to work on mindful eating. I’m good at it when I eat out or around other people, and awful when I’m on my own (which is the majority of the time).x

I forgot to say, I love the staging of the photograph! So well done. Like a still life painting. Ah . . .
