- Hold one of your hands out in front of you and close your eyes..
- Breathe slowly and evenly, breathing from your diaphragm.. Relax your
- mind, and don't worry if this doesn't work perfectly the first time..
- Now, in your outstretched hand, feel yourself holding a fruit.. Let it
- be any sort of fruit you like.. Hold the fruit there.. feel it in your
- hand, feel the weight, feel the texture.. Is it smooth and heavy, or
- light and rough, or something else? Imagine yourself peeling the fruit
- if it needs it, and taking a very small bite.. Taste the fruit, feel
- it in your mouth.. feel yourself eating the fruit.. Note the taste,
- note the consistancy.. swallow the piece you bit off and feel it slide
- down your throat.. Bring the rest of the fruit up to your nose.. Smell
- the fruit, notice every little detail about the fruit.. Now, slowly
- open your eyes, and see the fruit there in your hand.. See it as real,
- and take another bite.. Taste this bite as you tasted the last one..
- Finish eating the fruit, bite by bite, and when it's done, let the
- image vanish.. close your eyes, and then open them again.
