As you serve food and place it on your plate, be mindful of fact that this will be nourishing your body. Whatever you choose to place on your plate will ultimately serve as fuel for your activities and contribute to your energy and wellness.

Now, take a bite of food you have served yourself. Chew slowly, and pay attention to flavor and texture of this bite. Feel food sliding down your throat, and consider how it will be digested by your system to create energy for your body. With each bite, notice sensation of chewing and swallowing. Savor taste. Swallow completely before taking another bite. As you take last bite, pay attention to fullness in your belly, and note satisfaction of completing a mindful meal.

Try eating mindfully during one meal a day for a week. For your regular, faster meals, notice when you find yourself eating without paying attention. Intentionally slow down so that you can enjoy that one bite before speeding up again. Doing this regularly will give you a much better understanding of what you are feeding your body—and how.

By becoming more mindful of our eating, we learn to pay attention to what feeds us, both literally and figuratively. Our food choices affect our wellness, and our approach to eating spills over into way we handle our work, our relationships, and our lives in general. We must learn to recognize patterns in our behavior in order to create more awareness and harmony.

Mindlessly chewing whatever we fork into our mouths is akin to ignoring our actions in general. With a few moments of daily mindful eating, you will develop a much greater awareness of your choices and their power over all aspects of your life.

The psychologist Abraham Maslow spoke about our human need for money, security, home — a sense of place, community and belongingness — our desire for love and appreciation, for expression of our creativity and our desire for self-actualization (becoming what we may be in this lifetime).

For most of us prospect of a start in a new location reinvigorates us.

I’d like to share with you my personal favorite definition of security. “Security is not a place of ideological stability but a direction inspired by curiosity.”

The teenage boy living in a rural Ohio community, of course, had no idea his dreams & travels and moves (which were business and family related), would turn out to be invisible threads leading to relocation/locational astrology and a new way to make life choices.

I wish you all best in your life choices. Consider relocation astrology if you feel stuck where you are currently living.

Joseph Campbell, great writer and lecturer told his audiences, “Your sacred place is where you find yourself again and again.”

Helping us find our best or sacred place to live, work, retire, and enjoy our lives as we desire to enjoy them is what relocation astrology is about. I suggest you look into it when facing or contemplating a major life change.

“Afoot and lighthearted I take to open road, healthy, free, and world before me. The long brown path before me treading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune, strong and content I travel open road.” --American poet Walt Whitman, The Open Road

Life, indeed, is quite a journey isn’t it? Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote: “To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.”

I’ve done traveling hopefully part. There is much to be said, I can tell you, for ARRIVING and getting SETTLED IN!
