As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, hold a freshly picked apple in your

hands. Before taking a bite, pause to reflect on its journey from tree to hand.

Slowly feel its weight and texture.

Sniff its fragrance the hint of late summer sunshine mixed with cool harvest air.

Bite gently. Let the sweetness spread. Notice the build of flavor: the crispness,

the subtle tartness, the earthiness of the skin.

Chew slowly, allowing each flavor layer to unfold and your body to register

fullness.

Finally, release a breath of gratitude, for the abundance of the season, the

nourishment on your plate, and the quiet invitation to rest and reflect.

Significance:

This practice centers you in the present. During the harvest season, nature

reminds us of both gratitude and the passage of time. Slowing down at meals

helps reconnect mind, body, and spirit turning ordinary eating into sacred

nourishment. Research suggests that paying full attention to eating can help

reduce unconscious impulses, facilitate emotional regulation, and promote

healthier choices. PubMed, seejph.com
