Okay,
Are you ready to eat some cake?
Excellent.
So to begin,
Let's take a deep breath in.
Breathe out and gently close your eyes.
Now,
With your eyes closed,
Imagine your favourite kind of cake.
It can be anything you like.
Now notice what shape it is.
What flavour is your cake?
And what does your cake smell like?
And if it has icing on it,
What's that icing like?
Now imagine that this is your birthday cake.
Put a candle on it or as many candles as you need.
Now take a deep breath in and blow your candles out.
Oh,
There's a few still lit.
Give it another go.
So a nice deep breath in and blow those candles out.
You did it.
Now it's almost time for the best bit.
Imagine cutting a big slice of your cake.
Very slowly.
Or if you're very hungry,
Make it snappy.
Now it's time for the best bit.
Are you ready?
Take that big slice.
Slowly bring it towards your mouth.
And then take a big bite.
And then continue to imagine eating your slice of cake.
Enjoy every bite until it's all finished.
Now it's time for the best bit.
Noticing the taste and the texture and how it feels to eat your favourite cake.
What's that?
You want another slice?
Okay,
Go on then.
I won't tell anyone.
Cut yourself another big slice of cake and then once again bring it to your mouth and take a big bite.
Enjoying every mouthful until it's all gone.
Now you must be full by now.
Let's take a deep breath in.
Breathe out.
And give a big smile that only a big cake can give you.
Then opening your eyes.
And that's the end of our cake meditation.
Well done.
