Shelley Whizin's book "What Do You Bring To The Table: A Savory, Sensory, and Inspirational Guide to Living A Yummy Delicious Life", demonstrates how BEing conscious is one of the most essential lessons in life. As Founder of the Soul Diving Institute, Shelley guides you how to build awareness that what you bring to the table of life is always more important than what you get from it. Using brief Happy Mindful Meditations before cooking is a way to re-acquaint and connect with an Essence of yours, a mini "Soul Diving" which you then carry over to your food preparation. The energy of that Essence is key, since you are your own CEO (Chief Energy Officer).
