Why is a meditation podcast chatting with a cookbook author, you ask? It’s a great question. I have been paying a lot of attention to the practices in my day that support my well-being the most because I continue to hear from listeners (and experience myself) that we are doing our meditation practices and yet, we are still struggling. We still feel stress, anxiety or fear. And so, while this podcast will always honor meditation first and foremost, I want to also honor the other pieces that support our well-being. I was reminded recently that every culture:EatsSingsDancesCreates artTells stories about the starsIt is reconnecting with these inherent, innate pieces of us that create a sense of connection, belonging and well-being. So, we will start in the kitchen.Deborah Johnson is a home cook and author of the new cookbook, On Rising: Recipes and Rituals for Joyful Mornings. This gorgeous cookbook is an ode to mindful, joyful moments in the kitchen. It is an invitation to turn our daily meals into an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of the everyday and to reconnect with the sacred. In this conversation, we talk about:05:02 The Role of Cooking in Mindfulness and Wellbeing08:19 The Art of Presence in the Kitchen08:38 Deborah's Journey to Cookbook Authorship10:42 The Power of Presence and Connection in Cooking16:06 Reimagining the Kitchen as a Place of Joy29:51 The Healing Power of Storytelling Through Cooking54:25 A Mindful Eating MeditationAnd at the end, Deborah guides a mindful eating practice - so grab a snack, a cup of tea and join us at the table for today’s episode of The Mindful Minute. You can learn more about Deborah and check out her cookbook here:Website: <a href="http://www.deborahesjohnson.com/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;">www.deborahesjohnson.com</a>Instagram: @deborahesjohnsonYoutube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgHXyshzEKdTroNShdTwDKw" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgHXyshzEKdTroNShdTwDKw</a>And, for my Georgia listeners, I promised to share a link to the CSA I reference in today’s episode.
