Cake Meditation

I love cake and at times like these, we all need cake. But we can't eat too much cake now, can we? So sometimes it's best to just imagine eating cake. That way when we do eat real cake it tastes even better! I hope this practice gives you a big smile that only a big cake can bring and a little calm.

Happy chomping!
Lots of love,
Andy

Okay,

Are you ready to eat some cake?

Excellent.

So to begin,

Let's take a deep breath in.

Breathe out and gently close your eyes.

Now,

With your eyes closed,

Imagine your favourite kind of cake.

It can be anything you like.

Now notice what shape it is.

What flavour is your cake?

And what does your cake smell like?

And if it has icing on it,

What's that icing like?

Now imagine that this is your birthday cake.

Put a candle on it or as many candles as you need.

Now take a deep breath in and blow your candles out.

Oh,

There's a few still lit.

Give it another go.

So a nice deep breath in and blow those candles out.

You did it.

Now it's almost time for the best bit.

Imagine cutting a big slice of your cake.

Very slowly.

Or if you're very hungry,

Make it snappy.

Now it's time for the best bit.

Are you ready?

Take that big slice.

Slowly bring it towards your mouth.

And then take a big bite.

And then continue to imagine eating your slice of cake.

Enjoy every bite until it's all finished.

Now it's time for the best bit.

Noticing the taste and the texture and how it feels to eat your favourite cake.

What's that?

You want another slice?

Okay,

Go on then.

I won't tell anyone.

Cut yourself another big slice of cake and then once again bring it to your mouth and take a big bite.

Enjoying every mouthful until it's all gone.

Now you must be full by now.

Let's take a deep breath in.

Breathe out.

And give a big smile that only a big cake can give you.

Then opening your eyes.

And that's the end of our cake meditation.

Well done.

Very fun

I had the biggest smile and started to giggle. Thank you 🎂

Great meditation, it made me laugh. I could actually taste the cake. Thank you for making me smile 🙏

This was soooo good! My 6yo son and I both loved it. You did just a good job leading this. It was so easy and fun and still full of mindfulness and breathing. So well done ❤️

Unexpected and fun! My thoughts took me to sharing my cake with family — and that was lovely!

Andy, that’s IT! The best meditation ever! I can’t stop smiling and giggling to myself. Thanks for my favorite cake, on a Wednesday morning, before breakfast!!

The adult in me says 'brilliant! The kid in me says 'yum'! They're both smiling 😃

Amazing! I needed that!
Who knew? Cake meditation - wow! Thank you 🙏🏽🍰

Haha! Brilliant. A slice of happiness right there! Fanks!

How delightful and quirky and sweet! Hoes rather well with tge one I have bookmarked “having coffee with me”… visualizing cake eating is so much kinder to my dlim hips than eating it!!! Tgank you for the lovely treat. By the way, mine was German Chocolate cake with deliciously thick and gooey frosting!!! Care for a slice?

Thank you!

Brilliant! Good fun meditation 😃 I need a coffee meditation now to go along with it 😂

Oh, that was great fun! My birthday was just a few days ago and my friend made me the most delicious carrot cake I’ve ever tasted. This was the perfect way to enjoy another piece without all the calories 🥰🙏😋🎂

I loved using imagery to describe and taste my cake. It was delicious 😋 thank you Andy.

So fun!!! Light and fluffy!

Best meditation ever

My kids LOVE this meditation - thank you! 🙏🏻🎂😌

A celebration is in order as I write this on the last day of this crazy year! 🎂 I must’ve missed the the part about this fun meditation being for kids. 😊 Loved it, Andy ... the idea is (literally) sweet, the soundtrack is fabulous, and I didn’t gain an ounce despite enjoying two slices of awesome carrot cake with buttercream frosting. Happy New Year! 🎊

My three year old loves this!

This is kind of funny! I made my Granny’s Crumble Cake yesterday, a rich yeast cake similar to brioche but with a sweet thickly crumbled topping - it takes around 5 hours to make, including the 2 rising stages, but so worth it… oh, the small!!! And the memories… Fantastic! Thank you for sharing! 😊
