Hello, this is an excellent post! It reminded me of when I was studying traditional Chinese medicine at the Neijing Caracas. Because the concept of Tao, which is essential to that tradition, insists that one must be aware of what one is doing in the instant and flow with it. The school where I studied emphasized on the concept of "dignifying the moment". When they told us about the adequate food and eating, they insisted a lot on the awareness that one must have of what we are eating and how we are eating it, that is, to taste, to chew as an act of conscious enjoyment.
