Dark Chocolate Sinful Meditation - Yum!

Dark Chocolate Meditation

in New Ideas

We all LOVE chocolate, don’t we?  Here is a yummy meditation technique to indulge in chocolate bliss! In the journey to “Know Thyself”, I consider this technique to be helpful to get some insight into how our mind works in relation to the sense of taste.  Why dark chocolate? I like dark chocolate because it contains low sugar and is the densest source of chocolate flavor. Regular chocolate is a fine alternative but it has to be a type of chocolate that you enjoy.

What You Need:

  • A piece of dark chocolate
  • A comfortable place

The Technique:

  • Have a piece of dark chocolate near you.
  • Sit comfortably in the meditation pose of your choice
  • Meditate for some time with eyes closed (remember, no thoughts, including the thought of chocolate during this time.) The state of mind shall become an observer after meditating.
  • Reach out for the piece of chocolate with your eyes closed and slowly slide it into your mouth and observe the immediate reactions.
  • Do not engage (or try to control) but observe how your tongue and senses react.
    The tongue naturally begins to brush the chocolate against the upper part of the mouth and you find yourself smiling as you begin to indulge.  =)
  • Go with the flow, not in a hurry. Take your own time to taste every bit of chocolate there is in that piece.
  • After you have enjoyed the treat, notice how your tongue begins to crave for more, it tastes its own self.  Your tongue is asking for more chocolate (Bad boy!).

Let’s call for a healthy mind hack here:

  • Take a deep breath, visualize a refrigerator
  • Open it and find all the chocolates you can think of.
  • Now start to open/break and eat them (as much as you want)

It’s ok if your jaw wants to move while you eat the chocolates.

…. And notice that you being able to taste them too =)

Now you know how to enjoy MORE with LESS chocolate!

    Man! Just tried it and I must tell you – its AWESOME!

    It was so amazing to observe the shallowness of human carving (in positive sense) and see, no experience, no be the one who knows where it comes from! It was so good to be at the boundary of non-physical and physical and see the difference. This techique is far more valuable than might might come to think – ITS SUPERB!!!

    For at the core of it is the basis of ture practice of 'Yog' and I love it!

    Thanks a lot Sid, your feedback is insightful and valuable, I am very happy to have shared this. The meditation prior to the awareness/observation is the key to deeper understanding in this technique. Don't you feel you know a tad bit more about yourself now? It was quite an experience for me when I first tried it. It will be nice to hear more feedback from others too. Once again, Thanks Siddy :)

    Hey Ram, (Don't I just love those words?)

    Yes indeed, I just don't know a bit more but a lot more about my vibrational nature it's relationship with the physical nature. Thanks so much for sharing.

    As you broadcast or emit the vibration of your intent to allow people to discover this wonderful experience, those who are seeking it will find this post and when they do, you will receive (may be in words or otherwise) but for sure you'll feel their appreciation for sharing this valuable process.

    And it has already begun, let's enjoy unfolding of it. XD

    I've been trying to do that, but the rich, deep flavor makes it so hard not to gobble it all down! If anything, with all of the new research out there, I try to take in more dark chocolate than any other kind. It's always been my fave anyway Smiling.
