How to Eat: Mindfulness Essentials
Thich Naht Hanh (2008)
Eating is a chance to return to the present moment.
How to Eat is the second in Parallax’s series of how-to
titles by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. These friendly, pocket-sized
books contain several delightful illustrations by Jason DeAntonis, and
are appropriate for those practicing in any spiritual tradition and
all levels of familiarity with mindfulness practice.
How to Eat clearly and succinctly explains how you can
incorporate eating as a form of meditation. The book provides
practical advice on how to become truly nourished through the mindful
preparation, serving, eating, and cleaning up of food.
Eating a meal in mindfulness reveals that you are nourished by the whole universe. This awareness helps develop compassion and understanding, reminding practitioners that there are things they can do to help nourish people who are hungry and lonely.
How to Eat encourages moderation and taking time to truly savor what we eat. By doing so, you too can become healthier, more fully enjoy what you eat, and help reduce waste.
