SAVOURING FOOD
Select a snack, or a meal, that you would like to eat.
Take a moment and enjoy how the food looks. Then enjoy the smell. How does it feel to the touch?
Begin to reflect on the many hands that were involved in bringing this food to your mouth—the farmer, the trucker, the grocer…
Eat your snack very slowly. First notice how you may be salivating before reaching for the food. Bring the food to your mouth, noticing when it crosses your lips. When you bite down, is there a splash of flavour? How does it feel when you begin to swallow?
Continue eating in this way, giving yourself full permission to enjoy the experience of eating, as if this were your very last meal.
When you are done, notice the “finish.” How do you feel in your body right now?
