The Eightfold Path to Mindful Eating

How ancient Buddhist principles can help us bring a spirit of meditation into every meal



By Carmen Yuen



Too many of us are mindless eaters, to the point that we barely notice what we shove into our mouths. It's nigh time to put down the Blackberry, turn off the TV, and eat--just eat. Taking inspiration from the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, these eight practical steps help us move from "scarfing on the go" to "dining in the now."
