Mindful Eating Raisin Exercise

Get some raisins and let's learn how to mindfully eat. You will never eat the same again. It was recorded for my book, The Mindfulness-Based Eating Solution, and my Eat for Life class.

I realize you have to pause the meditation if you're actually doing the exercise, but even without pausing to reflect and journal about it, I experienced a heightened awareness for my next meal!

Very good. New experiences.
Thank you.

I didn't know there are so many meditations on eating a raisin mindfully. Lacking raisins, I mindfully ate a plum.

Thank you...I think just slowing down while eating and observing consciously what we are putting into our mouths is a great exercise! What did your raisin say to you? Mine was rather quiet!

This came at a good time! I'm on a cruise and food is so plentiful that it's no longer as pleasurable as normal. Today I will slow down and be more mindful when eating-thank you!

What a great exercise! Given the "grab and go" eat on the run of our current society, not to mention the accompanying obesity epidemic, this exercise slows your eating and make a your savor your food. I will periodically try this exercise, especially when experiencing new foods or restaurants.

I chose a slightly different approach using raisins, red grapes and blueberries. Writing sometimes distracts me. Instead I simply compared the three fruits as I followed along. Thank you.

Great one.It made me aware of many joys of eating.Can't wait to try out other foods. This will help me to be in the moment and enjoy all. Thanks

I did this with blue berry and still perfect!
