The Eightfold Path to Mindful Eating
The Eightfold Path to Mindful Eating
How ancient Buddhist principles can help us bring a spirit of meditation into every meal
By Carmen Yuen

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."
