๐ Mindful eating in 5 steps
Ed 61: Daily In-Pulse TL;DR I found my food delicious today! I practiced a small ritual that gave me even more joy. A simple 5 step mindful eating to bring a closer connection with your body.
Hey #fellowhighbrator, I am super fortunate to have a vegetarian diet since my birth. I have hardly eaten meat. My family has been vegetarian for generations. In India, vegetarianism is very common. How does it matter? This means low negative karma for me to process and heal. And of course, higher vibes! :) And yes, if you are ready to attract higher vibrations and positivity, give extreme importance to your plate.
Today, I had an enjoyable meal for lunch!
This wasnโt just due to the delicious taste. It was also due to a small ritual that I practiced.
This ritual has enhanced my eating experience to another level!
Food is possibly the most important aspect of your vibrations. The awake are quite aware of the importance of the food they consume.
It was very intuitive for me to practice this ritual that I call Mindful Eating.
Mindful eating is very similar to meditation, where you engage all your senses and channel your consciousness to the food-eating experience.
Here is how I went about with the mindful eating ritual:
I dedicated my time, cut down distractions, and put my focus solely on the food-eating experience.
I expressed gratitude for the food that is available to me. I gave my gratitude to planet Earth, the soil, water, the farmer who sowed the soil, the person who drove miles to bring this grain to my plate. Everything that I could relate to - I expressed my gratitude.
I witnessed the food with all my senses. How does it look like? What is its aroma? What is the taste of each and every texture of food? I consciously engaged all my senses to the food.
I then noticed the emotions after each and every bite. I felt happy. I felt fulfilled. I felt satisfied. My vibrations felt higher.
I then noticed my emotions after around an hour. I felt energetic, inspired, and hopeful.
This developed a very healthy relationship between food and my body. When you listen to your body, you can slowly start to identify if the food is good for you or not.
Here are some of the benefits that you will have with mindful eating:
Food will taste better as you experience multiple flavors in every morsel, which you missed otherwise
This enhances weight loss. As you start to feel full, your body will communicate when it has eaten enough. usually, the first burp is an indication that the food is sufficient
A sense of patience and calmness will spread over you, igniting the feeling of contentment and ease. You will feel you have taken a break from a hectic routine
Gradually, you will intuitively be directed to eating healthy and lighter food
You will develop a deep connection with your body as you will become attuned to your needs and desires
Slow down. Be present. And eat mindfully.
Itโs not just what you eat, but how you eat, that matters!

My journey to designing the 100 Day Life Project has already started. I have learned that a small peer learning group of six individuals is great to help you heal, stay accountable, and grow faster. Yesterday, I did shadow work as to how my program will โnot help youโ. I have been trying to shift the belief that my program might not help someone achieve transformation results. In the end, I realized itโs just a false narrative that I was repeating to myself so I donโt fail. I realized failure is just a little change in direction of the outcome that you desire. And I am slowly making my peace with it.
My walk today to nature was rad! I enjoyed the sunlight and enjoyed my feet on the grass. It truly feels alive! I am bringing more joy in my life by having a 100DaysofJoy challenge. For the next 100 days, I have decided to spend at least 10 minutes in one joyful activity that is to spend some time in Nature. I also found a low bench below this small tree. Here is my #Day14of100DaysofJoy picture:
See you tomorrow! Eat slow, mindfully, and #VibrateHigher
