Mindful Tea Meditation
BY LYNN DEVRIES
We encourage you to find time to eat or drink your foods mindfully. Take a few deep breaths before eating to become calmer and set your intentions to not rush through your snack or meal. Eat slowly by chewing your food slowly. Pause and notice if you are full. The brain can take 20 minutes to notice your body if full. It can also be helpful to eat without distractions such as phones or television. Lynn is leading a mindful tea meditation for older kids and adults.
