Description: In this pocket-size follow-up to her internationally popular Mindful Eating, pediatrician and Zen teacher Dr. Jan Chozen Bays offers twenty-three accessible exercises for bringing mindfulness to your relationship with food. Bring this little volume with you to work, to a restaurant, or anywhere you'd like a reminder to eat mindfully. Or use these practices to help bring awareness to your eating even if it's a quick bite between meetings or a snack in the car. Ranging from playful (treating yourself as your own mealtime guest) to the profound (learning to send loving-kindness to your body), these mindful eating experiments all convey Dr. Bays's warmth and humor, as well as her contagious confidence that mindfulness can be a source of nourishment to anyone. -- from publisher

Description

Eating should be a source of joy--not a cause of angst, stress, or calorie-counting. Jan Chozen Bays's book Mindful Eating- A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Fooddemonstrated the timeliness of that message in a world where our relationship with food is often negatively charged to the point where eating disorders are epidemic. Her approach ties together the latest science with Buddhist mindfulness techniques (she's an MD as well as a Zen teacher) in a way that's brought amazing results to folks who had no idea eating could be such a fulfilling and fun activity. With this little book, Jan now makes mindful eating even more accessible, providing simple exercises you can use anywhere in a small format you can keep in your pocket or purse to pull out for inspiration wherever you might be--any time you want to find a way to reconnect with eating as one of life's great joys.… (more)
