Good food and your relation to it deserves to have your full presence.

The kitchen where I live is shared by eight other individuals. Although there are a few counters to prepare food on there is just one stove and one double sink. I didn't design this kitchen and I wouldn't design any kitchen the way this one is layed out. It has a door that people use instead of the front entrance, regardless of whether someone is in the kitchen preparing food or not. The kitchen is somewhat long and somewhat narrow. I have had many experiences of resistance and resentment toward most anyone coming in from or going out front of the house by walking through the kitchen, while I am working in it, instead of using the front entrance. Somehow I eventually learned to quiet my reactive emotions - knowing that I can't eat my food in an upset state.

When I do sit down to eat I always intend to have the most peaceful meal possible. To accomplish this I most often eat alone. For many years I have felt that my good food and my relation to it deserves to have my full presence. Whenever I have given my full undivided presence to my meals I have most often experienced a sense of being well nourished!

"Today, many people who find their inner balance disturbed by the hectic pace of their lives turn to yoga, Zen, Transcendental Meditation or various relaxation techniques in the hope of regaining their balance and getting back on an even keel. Now, I am not saying that these methods are not good, but I offer a far simpler and more effective exercise, and that is to learn to eat correctly."[1]
