Day 9 (Late)

So day 9 is complete!

I just wanted to go over the Yoga Meal with you guys as a recap.  Your assignment is to try 1 of these a day and it will be really be helpful, but as some of you may have found out can be a touch difficult to accomplish.  The Yoga Meal is comprised of a few different steps starting with:

1.) Sit down.
2.) Avoid distractions, no TV, cell phone, reading materials ect.
3.) Pause before eating.  Some say grace, some express gratitude, some just use the time to acknowledge their food.
4.) 2 handfuls of food at a time.  Finish this, wait 3-5 minutes then grab 2 more handfuls.  This helps us truly discover where our 2/3-3/4 full feeling is at.
5.) Completely chew and swallow each bite before taking another one.
6.) No talking with food in your mouth
7.) Wait until your food is completely digested (2-6 hours) before having another meal.  The time is based off of what you ate and the individual who ate it.

Keep up your practice, and your meditations.

Good luck!
