Episode notes
Start Meals With A Sharing Blessing
- Do a brief chant and dedicate a portion of your meal as an offering to cultivate loving-kindness and generosity before eating.
- Use this sharing intention to hold a compassionate mind toward all beings while you eat.
See Food As Elements In Motion
- Try examining food as composed of elements (earth, fire, air, water) to notice its changing qualities while you chew.
- Watching transformation of those elements helps detach from craving and see impermanence.
Track Every Sensation While Eating
- Be mindful of each physical sensation from reaching for food to swallowing, noting movement and touch in the present moment.
- Stop labeling tastes as good or bad and watch sensations arise and pass to reduce reactivity.
