Episode Details

We explore mindful eating through monastic stories, simple practices with raisins, chocolate and tea, and how intention changes what food does to our minds and bodies. Listeners share how mindfulness supports storytelling, therapy and daily meditation habits.

• monastic one‑meal practice and silent chewing
• food as energy, intention and ethics
• noticing hunger, craving and resistance
• raisin and chocolate exercises for savoring
• body signals, stuck energy and comfort choices
• tea as ceremony for presence and community
• integrating mindfulness with story work
• safe intensity, regulation and journalling
• daily practice momentum and therapeutic flow

“We actually are going to be offering tea ceremonies as uh free events in our community in the future, something that's near and dear to my heart”
