Feeling Hungry

Bamboo

Starting to feel hungry
A subtle feeling
tugging at my attention
Half in my stomach ... half in my head.

Early stage hunger
brings with it
a clear, focused feeling
reminding me ...
I want to eat.

Wait too long
the clear, focused feeling
of gentle hunger
begins to gnaw;
my focus narrows
anxiousness awakens
wanting to eat becomes ...
needing to eat.

Meditation
early stage hunger
are companions ...
on the ‘razor’s edge’
the balance point
where care-free
becomes
care-full.

Eat small portions
when hunger
begins
to gently call
for my attention.

My body becomes lighter;
My mind remains clear;
Digestion vigorous.

Key Points

  • Pay attention to when you begin to feel hungry.
  • Notice how you feel after eating a light meal versus a heavy meal.
  • It’s better for digestion to eat several light meals throughout the day, rather than a few heavy ones.

    • Learn more about Healthy Eating—the Five Element Way: How to balance meals in a way that improves digestion; provides more energy; helps you sleep better and think more clearly; and generally feel better.
