We eat for the sake of eating, there are very few people who eat food and enjoy at the very moment. Almost many of us, eat food hurriedly, directly gulping food instead of enjoying its flavours. This results lack of mindfulness, even as people are not mindful while they eat, they are overeating, consuming more food than they need to be and people duffer from over weight. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO EAT.. We need to eat mindfully, like the the eating process of Monks are just like a session, where they eat plain rice everyday and try to identify different flavours in them. Although we eat food that are cooked with different spices and have different favours still we are not able to eat Mindfully. So this video is exactly about that.

4. Now lower the food to your lips. Notice how your hand and arm know exactly where to position it. Notice how the food feels in your hand or on your fork.
5. Take a bite, but don’t chew. Just let the food rest on your tongue. 6. Notice any thoughts, feelings or sensations as you let the food sit in your mouth for a moment. 7. Now begin to.
It means, for example, to consciously perceive the fragrance and the taste of the food, to value every bite and to chew for a long time. Anyone who has ever eaten mindfully knows how enriching this experience can be. You can taste your food more consciously and deeply, all the many flavor nuances. In short: You’ll enjoy the meal more. Take the time to identify every flavor with each bite, by thoroughly chewing your food.
Don’t take or think about your next fork-full until you have fully enjoyed the previous one. Slowing down and fully chewing helps your body digest nutrients more efficiently and helps your mind register every mouthful, reducing your chances of overeating. Savor Your Food.
Choose healthy, nourishing foods. Bringing mindfulness to your daily routines can have a simple, deeply calming effect over time. Here are some of my favorite ways to practice mindfulness that don’t involve meditation: 1. Slowing down and using a beautiful soap or body oil in the morning, inhaling the essential oils as you care for your skin is being mindful. 2.
But, if we slow down, you can give your body a chance to catch up to your brain and hear the signals to eat the right amount. Simple ways to slow down might just include follow many of your grandmother’s manners, like sitting down to eat, chewing each bite 25 times (or more), setting your fork down between bites, and all those old manners that are maybe not as pointless as they seemed. Being mindful and paying attention to the food you eat, while you are eating it, could help you eat healthier. Learn how to make every bite a meditation. Make Every Bite a Meditation If you want to put healthier eating habits on the menu.
Make meal preparation inclusive. It will naturally be less tempting to take your time cooking if you see it as one more thing you have to do before you get to decompress from your long day. If you have a family, get them involved in preparing.
Or invite your friends over to cook together. 3. Chew your food slowly. And enjoy the texture and the taste! You’ll be more satisfied with less food and more likely to notice other subtleties throughout the day.
4. Write down your top three priorities for the day, first thing in the morning. Especially before you check your email. Mindful eating, or mindfulness eating, is a food strategy that helps people enjoy food more.
Find out more about mindful eating here. When you eat mindfully, you slow down, pay attention to the food you’re eating, and savor every bite.” – Susan Albers “So often, even when we stop to say a blessing before a meal, we’re mentally preparing to spoon some pasta or potatoes onto our plates.

This mindful eating approach contains elements of Eastern mindfulness, cognitive factors, and DBT.
Here’s an exercise you can practice to help you get the idea of what mindfulness is all about: At your next meal or snack, slow yourself down and give the food your full attention.
A stroke has forced me to slow down, but my mind is stil in this go-go-go mode. So I’m doing yoga nidra now twice a day for half an hour, which is helpful and try to focus as much as I can on the present moment. My mantra is don’t worry, don’t hurry, be hippie. I see myself as a hippie in training.
Hey Gabrielle, this video is what I needed to see today! A lot is happening right now with my online Affiliate Marketing business and it is so overwhelming, but I am loving everything. I will apply these tips because I do not want to lose my momentum. I want to just go with it and at the same time be a bit careful with my decision making. Thanks for sharing this.
Gabby, you are speaking to my soul. Lots of healing and self love since I started listening to you. I have been sharing your online book to close friends as well as strangers that quickly became friends from all over the world
Oh I forget the most important thing I appreciate that I am alive and breathing it not always easy but I doing cause it god choice for me to be here and with me too I have to learn w How to slow with my eating always rushing thru it and it not good and I writing too I trying to keep a journal and I writing fast to get thru with it my thoughts run crazy and my writing is so bad also my thoughts r so fast at times so I trying to slow but it hard sometimes thanks agian much love Adeline aka chubrocks
I’m forced to slow down after having a stroke. I used to live a high speed life in a newsroom and I notice now under how much pressure I was every day. I need to slow down in order to recover, so I’m trying to be a hippie a few times a day. Drinking tea and doing alternate nostril breathing. I’m trying to create a better and happier life post stroke than pre stroke.
Don’t forget TALKING more slowly, too. I have been practicing that for a while; it’s great. It is grounding and gives you time to be more present and authentic with your words.
I am DEEPLY disturbed by you and others who still wish Hillary won the election even though all of you now know that she was accepting millions of dollars in exchange for political favors (that’s called a bribe, and her selling uranium to Russia, which is used to make nuclear missiles, is called treason) and the proof (read it on Wikileaks) that John Podesta and others in her inner ring were/are molesting children, and the use of children in satanic rituals that she and her inner circle participated in. Hillary said she’d always been for children and yet she is allowing those closest to her to sexually abuse children. How do you even say that you represent love, yet you uphold a woman that has faciliated and participated in the sexual abuse of children? That is being spiritually and morally corrupt, that is EVIL. I really want you to reply and explain yourself because you are telling people that molesting children is ok by supporting Hillary STILL. This is not a rhetorical question.
Love game of thrones… I think this would also allow people to appreciate food more and respect what is given to them. This will allow them to feel fulfillment
I remember hearing a quote, the more you have to do, the longer you need to meditate. We can all thrive, by centering ourselves and flowing gracefully with the gentle guidance that quietly whispers to us when we slow down enough to really listen. Love your teachings. Thank you
I so needed to hear this. I’m actually in bed really sick because I’m totally run down and exhusted from doing to much running around. I was born in a hurry and have been rushing and multitasking all my life. I do need to start slowing down. Thanks Gabby
I’ve been feeling like trying to not react neg. to people pushing my buttons. slowing down is what I was thinking would be positive for me so that I can choose to be calmer, and take care of me:)))
Some days I feel like I need to slow down but I haven’t dome anything extreme in my day but however I get frustration easily and I hate that so taking a breathe and essential oils seem to help me to relax and breathe in the smell.
I totally relate to what you are sharing. Great meals are often missed because our attention is not fully there while we are eating. Somehow, we diminish the experience of our senses and default to our minds as if that is what matters most. I very much appreciate how you slowed it down on this video to clarify what it takes to eat mindfully. Also, the 5 contemplations from Thich Nhat Hahn, they are precious. Thank you so much for sharing them and also expanding on them. I am deeply grateful for knowing you and receive the blessing bestowed upon you!
