Everyone wants to feel more relaxed and connected with their bodies, but how? And more importantly, when? Many people's busy schedules leave little time for lengthy meditation practices and when life is most stressful and meditation most needed, many of us dispense with quiet time first. "Reinventing the Meal" offers a new way to get mindful moments in-by centring these important and beneficial practices on mealtimes. At least three times a day, readers can practice the art of becoming present, mindful, and relaxed. This three course approach introduces strategies for practicing relaxation and breathing, moving forward into meditation techniques, and finally learning to eat mindfully. The book offers intriguing exercises, rituals, and meditations rooted in ancient and modern traditions that make mindful eating appealing and possible for anyone. The book also brings global awareness to eating practices and encourages readers to consider the source of their food.
