About the book Deep Tasting A Chocolate Lover's Guide to Meditation
Chocolate! A food of sacred origin, is too often consumed mindlessly in the modern world. Nutritionally superior to almost all foods touted for antioxidants, the indiscriminate and over consumption of chocolate counterproductively undermines health.
Deep Tasting: A Chocolate Lover's Guide to Meditation introduces the method of Chocolate Tasting Meditation™ or CTM™ . Chocolate, consumed mindfully, can improve our ability to taste and appreciate better quality, artisan chocolates. Supporting artisan, or craft, chocolate promotes sustainable agriculture, protects rainforests, the working conditions and livelihoods of farmers, and economic justice. Learn Deep Tasting through the guided tasting meditations found on this website and Dr. Peluso's book, Deep Tasting: A Chocolate Lover's Guide to Meditation. This book can open the doors to the spiritual practice of more traditional meditation and to sacred activism for those who wish to make this world a better place. But if your goal is simply to become a more discerning consumer of chocolate, the Deep Tasting techniques you will learn here will place you on the path to fully appreciate the world's finest, most highly rated chocolates as featured in Rev. R. M. Peluso Riffs on Chocolate blog, New Chocolate Tasting Meditations blog and the C-spot.com where Dr. Peluso has served as a reviewer since 2006.
