Transformational nourishment is profoundly practical and experiential. Because we consume food so regularly, we have the opportunity to pay attention to our inner selves multiple times a day, every day, for many years. Let's estimate that on average people feed themselves something to eat or drink fifteen times a day, though in actuality I imagine this number is a lot higher. Over a period of ten years this translates to 54,750 opportunities to turn your attention inward and become aware of yourself.
