brief introduction
1. Mindfulness diet is an informal mindfulness exercise in daily mindfulness practice.
2. Through the multi-dimensional exploration of things, we can improve the perception of food, thus improving the quality of diet.
Practice method
1. You can choose a special food, such as raisins, cranberries and medlar, as the object of your mindfulness diet exercise.
2. Suppose you choose raisins, first pick them up with your thumb and forefinger, close your eyes, take three deep breaths, find the feeling of breathing, and return to the present.
Now feel the existence of the objects within your reach, and imagine that you are an alien and have never seen such things.
You squeeze the friction with your fingers curiously and feel its hardness, size and texture. Then put it in front of your nose, smell it and feel the smell it gives off. It doesn't matter if it doesn't stink, it stinks, too.
Now hold it gently in front of your eyes, slowly open your eyes and curiously observe its shape, texture, luster and color.
6. Then gently put it in your mouth, don't chew it in a hurry, touch it with your tongue and feel its shape, hardness and texture.
7. Now start chewing slowly and consciously, and feel its taste on the tip of the tongue, sour, sweet, bitter and salty.
8. Spend some time on these tastes. When you are ready, slowly swallow it into your stomach and feel the process of things flowing from your mouth to your stomach through your esophagus.
