This is a guided practice on mindful eating. Eating mindfully is a great opportunity to strengthen our practice with little to no extra time investment. It also helps us to bring mindfulness out into our daily lives.

In this episode I talk about the power of seeing mindfulness in the feminine, yin rather than yang, and then lead a short guided meditation.
