Meditating with Fruit

It is so easy to meditate with a piece of fruit. It will only take about ten or fifteen minutes to do this type of meditation. First, choose a fruit that you like or a fruit you have never tasted before. Second, make sure it is easy to peel the fruit with your hands. Third, wash the piece of fruit. After you have chosen your fruit, you can begin to meditate.

If you chose a citrus fruit such as orange, tangerine, or clementine, you can begin by smelling the citrus scent of the fruit.  Peel your fruit with your hands if it is easy to peel it. In this way, you will feel a sense of calm by peeling the fruit with your hands. You will feel the texture of the fruit and the citrus scent relaxes the mind. After you have peeled the fruit, you can savor and eat the fruit slowly without being in a rush. 

In this way, you will appreciate the food that you eat. By using all your senses of touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste your mind will produce feel-good chemicals in the brain. Simply seeing the color of the fruit will open your appetite. You will be more thankful and more conscious of eating healthy. Here are more resources about meditating with fruit.
