Before eating

A Practice Before a Meal

Eat with gratitude and presence.

A meal is an opportunity to practice gratitude and to be nourished not only by food but by awareness.

The practice

Breathing in, I am grateful for this food.

Breathing out, I eat in a way that nourishes my body and the earth.
