Our beloved Labrador (nicknamed "Hoover" by his rescuers) ate each meal like a starved vacuum cleaner, as if someone might take the food away from him! The opposite of "hoovering", mindfulness is a spiritual practice that allows slowing down to savor each flavor, texture and smell. This weeks "Healthy Snack Ideas" encourage attentive and nourishing mini-meals with which to practice mindfullness, another healing secret of food.
