Mindful eating: Citation on prayer, quotes on eating and a prayer before a meal

 


According to Tyagi (2012). Prayers, Meditation, and Contemplation are the integral parts of spirituality, she states [1]: 

  • "Prayer is verbal communication to the divine. It involves praising and honoring the divine, confessing sins, sharing one’s thoughts and feelings, and requesting guidance and assistance. Meditation is about one-pointed concentration without involving any word or image. Its purpose is to first clear the mind of surface thoughts and feelings, then to attain higher spiritual states on the path to enlightenment. Contemplation is to focus the mind on a text, an image, or an idea. "

Quotes on eating

  • In the 21st century and beyond, eating healthy foods alone is no longer medicine. Eating habits are. ~ Christopher Oseh
  • Mindful eating is about awareness. When you eat mindfully, you slow down, pay attention to the food you're eating, and savour every bite. ~ Susan Albers 
  • Eating well is a form of self-respect ~ Molly LeGay
  • We do food every single day! Conscious Eating is a big step toward Conscious Living. Quality and Quantity of Food is directly related to our Health and state of mind. We can use food to help us recover from Stress and Disease. Not taking food seriously will eventually lead to Stress or/and Disease. ~  Natasa Pantovic Nuit, 

Here is a prayer before a meal [2]

Bestow thou blessings / O Supreme Soul / As we partake the meal /Bless the food / We're gonna eat. / Bless all the hands / that made it possible that / food gets served
***
O benevolent God / Bless all souls / to eat mindfully / with hearts filled with gratefulness / may all be satiated / may all be healed / Amen! Om Shanti Om!
