TASTE
November 26, 2020
SUMMARY
In this spiritual conversation between “I” and ” AM,” reflection takes place regarding discomfort and duty in relation to the environment and the body. Through the sense of taste, a deeper connection between cellular intelligence and the emotional energy of food is explored. The need to find pleasure in responsibilities and to honor the body as a temple is emphasized. The conversation concludes with the central idea that pleasure is the true duty, as flavor is knowledge, inviting a spiritual transformation through conscious appreciation of life.
QUOTE
“Reclaim the taste for life, for it is the Universe’s only way to feel through you.”
EXERCISES:
-
Conscious Taste Meditation: Take a food you enjoy and eat it slowly. With each bite, focus on the sensations in your mouth, the flavors, textures, and how it feels to chew. Notice if any emotions or memories arise as you eat. This practice will help you be more present in the moment and appreciate food consciously.
-
Visualization of Balanced Pleasure and Duty: Close your eyes and visualize a situation where you are fulfilling your duty but also experiencing deep pleasure and satisfaction in what you do. Imagine how you would feel in that perfect balance between duty and pleasure. This visualization can help shift your perspective on responsibilities and find fulfillment in them.
-
Nature Connection Meditation: If you have the opportunity, spend time outdoors. Walk barefoot on the earth, hug a tree, or simply sit in silence in a natural setting. Connect with the energy of nature and observe how you feel. This can help you reconnect with the pleasure of being in touch with the natural world.
