Balance Within

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with Accenture employees in their lovely Ice Blocks office.

I led them through some Breathwork, some shamanic drumming, a mindful eating meditation followed by a mindful eating experience where we used tomatoes from my garden and blueberries. They had no idea what they were in for and they were very receptive and appreciative.

In today’s fast-paced world we often rush through our meals without giving much thought to what we are putting in our bodies. What if we approached eating as a spiritual practice?

Mindful eating is being fully present and aware during meals - paying attention to the smells, tastes, textures and colors of our food as well as our own bodily sensations and emotions. It also involves slowing down and savoring each bite.

Benefits are increased gratitude, improved digestion, heightened awareness and treating your temple with the reverence it deserves. By approaching meals with awareness and gratitude we can cultivate a deeper connection to ourselves, each other, our food and the planet and world around us. 🌎💙💚
