How to Improve Your Eating | A Monks Perspective

Eating is something that we need to deal with as long as we are alive. Since eating is so crucial to our survival and a practice that we must do daily, it's imperative that we develop a health and positive relationship to eating. Today, I share with you how we train our new monks when it comes to eating. I hope these 5 tips from the monastery can be helpful and applicable to you and your life. Enjoy! #monks #monk #mindfulness #eating
