“You can’t do mindfulness well or not well.”

Indeed, we could only choose between these two; to be mindful or not to be mindful. Thanks for this enlightening post, eh.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to find ‘Mindful Eating’ bloody annoying. I have just started a Mindfullness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook and one of the practices is to eat at least one meal mindfully each day. I just eat and I find it hard to be mindful – I don’t enjoy food preparation/cooking at all I find it totally unappealing, necessary I know, but unappealing all the same. Having said that I have noticed things during my practice about how I eat and what I do when I eat and I can genuinely appreciate how automatic some aspects of our lives have become. Oh well, practice is just that I suppose – maybe soon it will stop being practice and just be mindful!

What a great post. I wish I could get those around me to slow down too, I find the faster they are shovelling it in, the faster I am. Often I have to just close my eyes. Maybe a timer or something would work. Every 30 seconds everyone has to stop eating for 30 seconds and reflect.

I remember learning the “Five Reflections on food” while studying at the buddhist discussion centre in Upwey many years ago. Repeating these reflections before eating is a good way of bringing about mindfulness
1. This meal is the labour of countless beings. Let us accept this offering with gratitude.
2. This meal is taken to strengthen our exertions, for greed and opinion are strong. Let us deserve this offering.
3. This meal is taken to help us become clear and generous. Let us pay attention.
4. This meal is taken to nourish and sustain our practice. Let us be moderate.
5. This meal is taken to help all beings attain Buddha way. Let us practice wholeheartedly.
