Make Meditation Delicious

“Mindful eating” can sound a bit wholesome and boring, but slowing down and paying attention enhances the pleasure of the experience.

Why not give it a try? Start with something super easy-like meditatively eating a piece of chocolate! To do it, hold the chocolate in your hand.

Feel its weight. Think of all the people involved in growing, picking, processing, and shipping the beans, turning the beans into chocolate, and shipping the chocolate to your store.

Thank them. Now savor every facet of eating a tiny bite-the smell, the taste, the physiological response you feel in your body.

Keep giving your full attention to the act of eating until the chocolate is gone. What did you notice?
