Mindful Eating
with Ven. Jampa Sangmo
Sunday, April 28: 10:30am-12pm
When we eat mindfully, we involve all the senses by engaging our body and our mind. We utilize color, texture, smell, taste, and sound to nurture our experience. We learn to pay attention to what our body really needs and why. Through these practices of deepening our inner awareness of the body and mind, we learn to apply meditation and mindful eating into our daily lives. We can experience food as pleasure and nourishment while finding our right relationship to amount and quality in each moment. Mindful eating and living can nudge us beyond what we’re craving so that we wake up to why we’re craving it.
