This recording is about changing our eating habits.
Today we're going to put some food in front of ourselves and eat it slowly with awareness.
Please find a comfortable position,
Sitting down,
No need to close your eyes,
Breathing from your nose,
Relaxing.
You can play this recording at any time you're eating food.
Perhaps bring some food to the table,
Put the food in front of yourself.
Perhaps you're eating this food with a fork or a spoon.
Perhaps you eat it with your hand.
It could be big and small,
Sweet or sour,
Salty.
Just leave this food in front of you,
Look at it and say thank you.
Start breathing from your nose,
Bringing awareness into your life.
Appreciate the food.
We are now establishing new habits for eating food slowly with awareness.
Perhaps now we can take the food,
Perhaps a very small piece of the food and very slowly put it in our mouth.
Chew it slowly.
Taste it properly.
Is it sweet?
Is it sour?
Is it tasty?
Slowly,
Slowly you're going to chew your food.
Nowhere to go,
Nothing to do,
There's no rush.
As you swallow your food,
Put the food down on the plate,
Fork,
Spoon on the plate.
Allow four deep breaths from your nose before we are going to eat again.
Here we go,
This is the first time we're taking a deep breath from the nose.
The second one.
The third one.
And the fourth one.
Although we did four,
We can do more,
Perhaps ten,
Perhaps twenty.
There is no rush before we are going to eat again.
Leave your plate with the spoon or the fork and the food and do not eat for some time.
Now we can have a second bite of our food.
Again,
Slowly,
Slowly,
Cutting it slowly with awareness.
Chew it slowly.
Taste it properly.
Chew it very slowly.
Nowhere to go,
Nothing to do.
Eat with awareness.
This is a new way we're going to eat our food from now on.
Slowly,
Slowly,
With awareness,
Putting our food down,
Knife and fork,
On the plate,
Between each bite,
Having at least four breaths before our next bite.
Please do not watch any screens,
Just concentrate on your food.
If there are other people in the room and you're talking to them,
This is fine.
While you are eating.
Do not eat while you're listening to people.
Completely listen to what they've got to say.
While you are talking in a conversation at the food table,
Do not eat while you're talking.
Just talk.
Each time you're eating,
You're putting 100% attention on your food,
Eating it slowly with awareness.
This may be a little bit difficult to start with,
However,
In time,
You will get used to it in this way,
And you will be eating with so much joy in your life.
It is very important to be aware when you're full.
We're living in a Western society.
Food is everywhere.
There's always more food if you want it.
It is there.
Perhaps you can eat less.
Just eat a little bit.
It takes about 20 minutes for the body to feel full,
Not hungry.
And then you can stop.
Always leave some food on your plate.
Eat very slowly with awareness.
Universe,
Existence and source are here to help you.
You are here for a reason.
You can come back to this feeling you experience right now at any time,
Or you can play this recording again and again while you're eating until the habits will be established.
Eating slowly with awareness,
Tasting your food,
Putting your food,
Spoon and fork,
Down between each bite.
At least four breaths,
Perhaps more.
Establish these new habits.
And most important,
If you are not hungry,
Do not eat.
Just let it go.
Food is there.
You can always come back to it if you wish to.
Of course,
If you're hungry,
You can eat as much as you want.
As long as you're eating slowly,
Taking time between each bite.
At least four breaths,
Perhaps more.
We're going to do four breaths again now before we're going to say goodbye and thank you.
And the second one.
Third.
And fourth.
Pick up your food slowly.
Small piece is absolutely OK.
Put it in your mouth.
Taste it.
Chew it slowly.
Take your time.
There's nowhere to go,
Nothing to do.
Chew your food with awareness.
Plenty of time.
Perhaps now you can put your food down.
Knife and fork can go down.
Take your time now.
Taste the food.
Take a deep breath.
Breathe.
Relax.
Say thank you for having this food.
And we're going to be eating our food in this way from now on all the time.
Any meal,
Any food.
Slowly with awareness.
If you find yourself again coming back to your old habits,
Just play this recording again.
So simple.
Establishing new habits,
Eating in a different way will change the way we feel about food.
And many positive things will happen in our life,
Including losing weight,
Feeling better about ourselves and being in control of our food.
Thank you so much for listening and I welcome you to a new way of eating,
A new way of awareness.
Thank you.
