A mindful(ness) approach to beer

Mindfulness is a simple method of meditation that is gaining mainstream medical recognition as a demonstrable method of reducing stress, anxiety, depression and building well being and positive approaches to life. Most of the mindfulness exercises are practices which teach compassionate observation of thoughts feelings and sensations in the moment. Being mindful can heighten awareness of sensation.

With that in mind, how about trying this exercise for really appreciating your next pint - the Chocolate mindfulness meditation - substitute 'chocolate' with 'ale' and the characteristics of ale (bottle/glass feel and colour, beer pour, aroma, colour, head, etc. etc.)
