Guided Mindful Eating Meditation Exercise

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s podcast is different from the usual format.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s a guided mindful eating practice.  There is no theme music. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To do this guided practice, you will need to be hungry and have something available to eat. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure it is a food you enjoy. It can be a cookie, piece of fruit, piece of chocolate, a few nuts, raisins, or some popcorn. Something like that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do it sitting down at a table where you have no distractions. Turn off the TV, keep your smart phone out of reach. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is best to do it by yourself or with someone else who is interested. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The point of this exercise is not that you’re going to eat this way whenever you eat. It is to give you the opportunity to experience food in a different way and to see  what you observe and learn from this experience.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you do the guided practice, be prepared to stop the recording as needed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re in Ditch the Diet Tribe, my free Facebook group,  I encourage you to share your mindful eating experience there. If you aren’t a member yet, you can request to join</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchthediettribe/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I strongly encourage you to practice eating consciously for the reasons I discussed in last week’s episode.</span></p>
