Eating together is a perfect time to converse and catch up.  But eating alone is a perfect time to cultivate and experience silence.  Silence doesn’t mean no noise, it means no conversations, no distractions (no TV, computer, phone….).  Bring your attention and energy to a point of stillness and you create silence.

Eat in silence and you’ll find yourself at ease and peace.  You’ll also enjoy the food and eat less because you’ll be more aware when you are full.  So, how about eating in silence, not every meal, but maybe a meal a day (or a week).
