Dear Goddess, One of the most remarkable experiences from last weekend's  Thich Nhat Hahn conference was the mindful eating exercise that was conducted by the monks  and nuns from  Plum Village, France.

We all ate mindfully together, all 300 plus of us. We ate quietly, although my friend Joel would sometimes whisper a wise crack or two in my ear.

We put a bite in our mouth, laid down the fork, and chewed 30 or more times. Then the next bite, laying down the fork, chewing and so on.

Joel and I touched base in the middle of the week, and we both have been eating mindfully in this way, ever since.

Making this one change in my life has been truly calming and inspirational.

Being mindful every time we eat spills over to every other area of our lives.

Today's Prayer Prescription? Eat mindfully.

Om  Peace Amen
