Snack Meditation Practice | guided meditation for children offered by Kaira Jewel

Our neighbor is going to hold the tray,

and we're going to serve our neighbor and our neighbor will bow and then take a piece of fruit.

It's just a way to be friendly to each other and also to appreciate the food.

We're going to start eating together.

Okay?

So even if you have it, you can just look at it and really look at it,

and ask yourself what is inside this piece of fruit or this biscuit?

How has it come to me?

How is it that it's here?

And what are all the things that are inside this biscuit, this fruit?

What colors do you see in this fruit?

Orange, yellow, white.

Uh huh.

Does anyone see something that looks juicy?

That's the water reflecting off of the.

Do you see the light?

The juice.

The juice inside.

How does the fruit feel in your hand?

Warm.

It's warm.

Cold.

I want you to notice as you're smelling it.

Is anything happening in your mouth?

Metabolism is rumblim, and I get saliva.

Yeah.

We're getting ready to eat.

Our body is saying I'm ready to eat.

Take off a little bit of the peel and see what changes in the fruit as you peel it.

Do you notice anything when you start to peel it?

Yeah.

And do you hear any noise that the fruit makes when you peel?

What do you hear?

Yeah, the sound of the peeling.

Okay, we can pay real attention.

Okay.

Now I want you to close your eyes and take a very small bite.

Just notice what happens.

Don't bite it yet.

Just let it be on the tip of your tongue.

So don't bite into it.

It's just sitting on your tongue.

Okay.

Just notice what's happening with the piece of fruit.

The little piece of fruit just resting on your tongue.

Where on your tongue do you taste it?

Just notice it.

And now you can keep your eyes closed and very slowly start to chew into the fruit.

Try to eat your biscuit in the same way.

See if you can close your eyes and really just let it sit on your tongue for a moment

before you start to chew.

Eat it as if you've never had a biscuit before.

What else do you see in the biscuit?

When people make it, they put love into it.

So when we eat it, we have to eat it with a lot of attention so that we can receive all that love.

Rain to help the plants grow.

Rain to help the plants grow.

Okay.

You have to look deeply.

You have to look with your special eyes.

There's rain, there's sun.

The sugar, there's cocoa beans.

What else?

Wheat.

Wheat.

Good.

What is the grain?

To make flour.

Good.
