Eat mindfully - it will change your life

Eating is a universal process for humans; we all need to do it most days. But what happens when you start munching? Do you really taste the food? Or are you lost in your mind, rushing through on the way to a better future? Most of us only vaguely notice taste, unless it's amazing or awful. In between, we barely notice, we're much too busy thinking about something else. Learning to eat mindfully has some powerful benefits. You will notice, when you really taste food, that fresh, healthy food actually tastes better than processed sweet or fatty food. You will know when you are full and cravings for more (or for sugar) can become a part of your present moment, something to experience, not something to fight. But best of all, you will experience a deep sense of peace during meals, a feeling of groundedness that is vastly different to our usual anxious state. And how can we experience this? Simply sit, breathe and chew, nothing else is required. So get your knife and fork and join me at the table today for a session of mindful eating. Sit down, relax and let me show you how simple this practice can be.
