Mindfulness is an invitation to slow down – an opportunity to create a positive shift in brain chemistry that leads to physical and emotional health benefits. What better way to practice mindfulness than to savour a piece of chocolate in a full-sensory exercise? You will experience the sensuousness of mindful eating during this slow and pleasurable nibbling.

Robin Mallery wants you to slow down and eat chocolate! After 35 years in the healthcare industry, Robin has seen her share of health issues. In 2008, she founded HeartMatters to help people initiate personalised behaviour change in all aspects of physical and emotional health and well-being. Through practicing mindfulness, she helps clients create a positive shift in brain chemistry … and savour life.

In this meditation we use chocolate to anchor our thoughts on our present moment experience. Notice how much more you taste and enjoy the chocolate when you engage all of your senses while eating. Our senses help us to become present. Try this with other food a raisin works well. I like to make sure I mindfully eat as often as I can. As you can imagine this is a popular way to practise mindfulness!

This 5 min Ovio Noticing thoughts exercise allows us to observe our mind to increase our self-awareness.

This 7 minute Ovio Body Scan exercise helps train focus and attention. It is fundamental to any Mindfulness practise as all the elements of Mindfulness are experienced in this exercise. The non judgement, acceptance and self compassion. We learn to notice our present moment experience exactly as it is.
