A Meditation on Mindful Eating
Вставка

- For so many of us food is a way to check out of the moment. While eating our awareness often travels behind us into the past or ahead of us into the future. We eat at our desk at lunch brilliantly multitasking and missing the doorway to nutrients. Food becomes social a link to other people rather than a link to the moment, to the wisdom of our body and its many signals and messages. What would it be like to imagine food as a doorway, not out of, but into the moment. What would it be like to imagine that the tastes and the textures of the food can become gentle tethers that bring us back to this precious moment. This 10-minute meditation is designed to help you practice mindful eating. Before you start, you'll need to gather something to eat such as an apple or another wholesome snack. As you practice this meditation, each bite will be a doorway to sensation and flavor that fills you up with presence.
This is such a beautiful video. When I find myself watching a show or reading and eating, I stop and put this on instead. Thank you for sharing 💝
Awesome meditation practice. I'm using in my classes on addictive binge eating.
This is such an amazing powerful meditation. I have this anxiety problem where if I eat my heart races but the second I zoned into this while I was eating my heart rate returned to normal and I was able to enjoy my food again thankyou♥️
Thank you for the meditation and the beautiful imagery. Blessing to you!
This is great thank you so much
What a voice! Perfect for guided meditation.
Thank you so much, Sister. As a BK student, I actually typed in 'eating in the avyakt state' but didn't find what I was looking for. I've really enjoyed the last 11 minutes and to hear you say Om Shanti at the end gave me total comfort! I'm about to prepare my (and Baba's) lunch so thank you, again.
Wonderful. Thank you very much for sharing.
this is amazing! I have eating anxiety and this helped SO much! thank you!
Hello. If you don't mind telling, what did you eating anxiety mean? I'm asking because I think it differs from person to person.
Hi, its more anxiety of illness/nausea, and it's hard to eat sometimes because I don't feel well, and then I don't feel well because I'm hungry, so it becomes a cycle of losing appetite and gaining it back, depending on my stress and anxiety levels. But in the end I know that I need to nourish my body so I always go back to meditation and calm myself enough to eat well!
@@celinemorneau I've been struggling with this for the past few years, what did you find helps you
@@eman8459 Hi, I am coming down from a panic attack right now and struggling with this. I definitely have to listen to a meditation when I feel this way. I usually wait until I feel calm enough to eat. I just reassure myself that I am nourishing my body and that this is a natural process that shouldn't be overthought. I know that I need to eat or I will feel worse; but when it seems too hard, I eat bland food like crackers, potatoes, or eggs. Right now I am in the process of calming myself and breathing deeply to truly feel that I feel hungry. Once my breathing is regulated, I will use this meditation (or any guided meditation that I like) to eat my yogurt and cereal I've prepared. Hope this helps! Here is a script I like to use as well: www.innerhealthstudio.com/anxiety-in-the-stomach.html
@@celinemorneau thanks so much sis I really appreciate it! Acupuncture is something that has been helping me out a lot but with this shelter in place order in my area its difficult to go as often as before. I definitely recommend it though, you can even possibly get it paid for through whatever health insurance you have. I hope you and your loved ones are doing okay during this time, it's a long process but I know we will feel better one day 💓
Very best mindful eating instructions
3:00 compassion breathwork 5:00 open eyes and mindful eat 8:00 2nd bite
Thank you thank you! I have an eating disorder and health issues that restrict certain foods so Ive been feeling very “out” of myself. Not connected. Scared. Confused. This I can tell, is going to be very helpful during my recovery! I can’t believe I didn’t look this up sooner! All in due time :)
This video helped save me before when i felt hopeless eating and even now. Thank you.
Thank you for the "Beautiful" Practice :)
Speaking about freedom and mind power; thanks to this video I am able to choose if I like the taste of something. Imagination is pure preasures power.
Thank you a whole lot for taking the time to make and upload this video.
This experience was heavenly euphoric.

Wow! Very insightful I'm not really into hinduisn but the intention the idea this meditation develops is great and incredibly useful🙏🙏🙏 thanks

This meditation will definitely make u vegan, how can u imagine where the food came from if it’s milk, cheese or meet lmaooo
I see milk as a gift. But i only buy from a local farm.
I catch my own fish, so I'm already very aware of the source.
How to have two and a half bites in over 10 minutes... - is this why monks are so skinny? :D
Great practice; I hope it helps people. But is this really mindfulness?
What about the mindfulness of who prepared the food? Who produced the food? How did the food get there? Was there suffering involved? Were agricultural workers mistreated? Did animals unnecessarily suffer? The video alluded to the food system but that was not involved in the guided meditation.
Also, where did the hunger really come from? Were you inundated with advertising? Did an actual, "separate" being in your microbiome send signals to your brain that you were hungry? If so, are "you" really hungry?
Mindfulness is not an ethically neutral performance enhancer. It should lead to wisdom and action to address the root causes of suffering--not just your own, but all beings.
I wish everyone good luck in their mindful eating journeys.
