Retrieve How To Eat (Mindfulness Essentials, #2) Originated By Thich Nhat Hanh Document

second book in the series tells us how to eat through the practice of mindfulness, The author teaches us how to eat what is necessary and prevent overeating and obesity, He thus guides us to become a healthier version of ourselves,

The topic equally important as what we eat is how to reduce food waste, Millions of people are dying of hunger and poverty worldwide, So we should be grateful for our food and show respect to it by not wasting it,


My favorite three lines from this book,
“Dont chew your worries, your fear, or your anger, If you chew your planning and your anxiety, its difficult to feel grateful for each piece of food, Just chew your food. ”

“In this food I see clearly the presence of the entire universe supporting my existence, ”

“Your body is not just yours, It is a gift and a responsibility, ”




The author discusses some vital topics that will be useful for both the older and younger generation.
Neat little book with lots of information on how to eat more mindfully, I found myself interested in Faibka's a Litsy reader posts from this book, While this is presented from a Zen perspective, I did take away many useful tidbits on how to eat in a more meaningful way.
From grocery shopping to washing the dishes, Thich Nhat Hanh touches on every aspect of eating, It is a quick read, I give it/stars. “Enjoy being part of the Earth and eat in such a way that allows you to be aware that each bite is deepening your connection to the planet.
”

Musings on a vegetarian/vegan diet: “If you know that youre living in a way that makes a future possible for your planet, youll have joy.
”

This little book is full of little gems of wisdom and love, Reading Thich Nhat Hans musings on the practice of mindful eating, cooking and connecting with others during a meal has filled my heart with joy.
Thank you Thay, your presence was an incredible gift for this world, this mindfulness series is outstanding, this one amp sitelinkHow to Fight are my favorites, the illustrations are delightful amp the short meditations are inspiring, I really want to be more mindful in my eating, I do. Maybe I should try a little harder, We are made of ancestors, culture, food, air, and water, We are made of form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations and consciousness,

I love the mindfulness series,

: Well, I continue to crush on Thich Nhat Hanh, have you seen him in his little woolly hat cerute!
This is a lovely little book, which you could pop in your pocket and then take out and read something inspiring whenever needed.

It's all about mindfulness and mindful eating, it's about taking your time when you eat and appreciating your food, Also, 'Your body is not yours, It is a gift and a responsibility, ' which made me feel a little guilty as my body likes wine and is a little chubby,
Small collection of meditations on mindful eating, Resonated with me, to my surprise, Simple without being simplistic. By a Buddhist teacher, but almost entirely secular,

Favorite passage, from a page headed "Eating a String Bean":
"Don't chew your worries, your suffering, or your projects, That's not good for your health, Just chew the string bean, " I am a huge fan of Thich Nhat Hanh, His latest book, "How to eat," reminds me how important mindful eating is:

Eating is "a chance to return to the present moment and stop the rushing and the planning.
"

Eating is also "a chance to nourish our bodies and know that we are not destroying the Earth by doing so.
"

Basically I feel grateful before eating but easily forget to bei grateful after eating,

From now on, I will spend a moment being grateful for the food I had! Pretty calming book on mindful eating,nd in the series.
I guess as soon as one learns how to read,
One must read the 'Mindfulness Essentials' before starting to live,
Absolute essentials for life, This short little book can be knocked out in an hour or less, but that's not the proper way to read it! I read a few meditations at a time, set the book down, and then read a few more.
Some of the verses/prayers towards the end I wrote down in my notes, but I am definitely considering picking up this gem for my personal library.
"Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are",
The concept is very simple, but profound,

There arethings I love on this book:
The body is one of the most sensitive things, Stop rushing and planning to the future, All you need is truly present, Because when you eat in this way, not only are you physical nourished, You are also spritiually nourished,
Delicious food must be healthy food, Healthy is good, but healthy and not delicious isn't good either, You have to have both,
Washing dishes as if bathing a baby Buddha, kitchen altars, washing dishes as bathing the baby Buddha, seeing the cosmos in every bite thank you, A new outlook to transform my eating for the rest of my life, . “What shall I eat today” is a very deep question,

Every minute can be a holy, sacred minute, Where do you seek the spiritual You seek the spiritual in every ordinary thing that you do every day, Sweeping the floor, watering the vegetables, and washing the dishes become holy and sacred if mindfulness is there, With mindfulness and concentration, everything becomes spiritual,

When you eat in such a way that you can keep compassion alive in you, that is mindful eating,

May we find ways to live more simply in order to have more time and energy to change the system of injustice that exists in the world.


If I am incapable of washing dishes joyfully, if I want to finish them quickly so I can go and have dessert and a cup of tea, I will be equally incapable of doing these other things joyfully.
With the cup in my hands, I will be thinking about what to do next, and the fragrance and flavor of the tea, together with the pleasure of drinking it, will be lost.
I will always be dragged into the future, never able to live in the present moment, The time of dishwashing is as important as any other time,
Each page contains a distinct little paragraph/thought nugget, They were good, but I found them to be very repetitive after a while, Một cuốn sách ngắn và mỏng, nhưng hàm chứa sức mạnh nội tại lớn lao.


“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.
”

“Each time you look at a tangerine, you can see deeply into it, You can see everything in the universe in one tangerine, When you peel it and smell it, its wonderful, You can take your time eating a tangerine and be very happy, ”

“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos the trees, the clouds, everything, ”

Thông qua cuốn sách nhỏ này, mình học được rằng trong hạt cơm dẻo thơm mình ăn mỗi ngày, có vẻ đẹp của nắng, gió và nước tưới tắm mỗi ngày có giọt mồ hôi của một cộng đồng dân tộc và có sức góp của tổ tiên và dòng họ trong đó.
Mỗi lần nâng bát cơm đầy, niềm hạnh phúc trong mình trỗi dậy sâu sắc.



Heres where Im at with my mindfulness practice: I read this book while I ate my lunch at work, I know the practical reasons why mindfulness is important and what the benefits are, but the reality of practicing it is hard, Regardless, this was a sweet little volume with cute illustrations and some excellent thoughts on being present and mindful when you eat, when you cook, when you wash the dishes, and when you spend time with others at a meal.
