For adults and children,
mindful eating can be a
friendly introduction to
meditative practice.

• Yoga tradition advises remaining seated while eating.
• End your meal when you notice your hunger is gone. After
your meal, notice the physical sensations of satiety and the
gratitude that you have enough to eat.
My own life has benefited greatly from mindful eating. I
wish the same for you.
