Blueberry Meditation

This week  in class we did an experiential exercise with a dried blueberry.   A classic exploration in mindfulness, we each fully explored a dried blueberry with all of our senses and became completely engaged in the experience of slowly eating one blueberry.  All of us discovered how much we normally do not really notice.   By slowing everything down and really paying attention to all there was to the experience in consuming one little dried berry, we became much more observant and curious.
Paying attention and being in the moment is what we are exploring here... We are creating a foundation for being awake and aware.   We may also begin to notice our likes and dislikes popping up and how often we make judgements about what is good or bad, what is right or wrong.   We are observing all of this.   We are becoming more and more MINDFUL.
