Looking for the inspiration to meditate? Eating chocolate in the slow, focused way outlined below can help you learn to savor desert, making it less likely that you will eat quickly (eating quickly is often a sign of emotional eating) and can play a role in your meditation practice. Chocolate-tasting meditation uses the senses of taste and smell as sensory anchors or points of focus and can be used as an avenue for relaxation. Purposefully placing your focused attention on one activity as if that activity is the only thing happening in the world allows the mind to rest deeply, even in the midst of activity. If mental chatter or distraction arises while eating, simply go back to focusing on your touchstones/anchors.
