Compared to the infinite stream of love and bliss you’re open to with a single conscious breath, grasping for pleasure from food feels like begging for crumbs. 

I have forgotten this fact countless times, and I absolutely will continue to.

But when I feel the little nudge within me and I take that breath, it all comes flooding back.

Here, there is no need to seek pleasure from a moment with food (though eating with this conscious awareness is total magic). 

There is no need to change myself because I am already entirely whole and worthy. 

And there is no need to numb from my experience because I know I am so supported in being with it all. 

This is why I practise; so that I can more easily remember.

And this is why I share; to help you remember too.
