A Free Guided Meditation with Chef Evan Rilling

Here's something nobody talks about:

You have a relationship with every single ingredient in your kitchen. You just haven’t been paying attention to it.
Think about it. You pick up an avocado, you squeeze it, you slice it, you eat it. Done. Next thing. You’ve done that hundreds of times and never once stopped to actually be with it. To notice its energy. To feel what it’s offering your body. To ask what it might want to communicate to you.
That sounds wild, right? Stay with me. Chef Evan Rilling has spent over a decade studying with indigenous elders, cooking for retreats around the world, and growing food and planting food forests in Bali and beyond. And one of the most powerful things he’s learned is this: ingredients are not just fuel. They’re living things with energy, wisdom, and something to teach you. And when you slow down enough to listen, the whole game changes.
How you eat changes. How you cook changes. How you feel in your body changes.
All from 12 minutes with a single ingredient.

The Practice

This isn’t a lecture. There’s nothing to study. You just need one ingredient (literally anything from your kitchen right now) and 12 minutes. Evan guides you through a simple sensory journey. You’ll breathe with it. Hold it to your heart. Really look at it.
Touch it like you’re discovering it for the first time. Smell it. Taste it. And at some point, you’ll be invited to listen to what it wants to tell you.
Sound like something a child would do? Good. That’s the point.
Rather than relying on outside advice about what to eat, you’ll begin to connect directly with your ingredients, learning how they work with your body and how to use them to create food that is nourishing and delicious.
We used to approach food with wonder. Somewhere along the way, food became a problem to solve (calories, macros, good foods, bad foods, guilt, restriction, repeat). This meditation takes you back to before all of that. Back to curiosity. Back to your senses. Back to your body.

What People Experience

This is a short practice, but it lands.
One man did this meditation and realized, completely on his own, that his daily cookie habit was over. Nobody told him to stop. He just felt it.
A woman chose a fish, connected with its spirit, and understood for the first time how it could nourish her body.
Other people have described it as the first time they’ve ever truly met an ingredient they’ve been cooking with for years.
12 minutes. One ingredient. Something shifts.

About Your Guide:
Chef evan rilling

Evan Rilling is a chef, cookbook author, surfer, artist, and musician from Ojai, California. He spent four years as the private chef for Will Smith and family, has cooked for health retreats on multiple continents, and founded Ulu Food Forest in Bali.

 

He’s also spent over a decade studying Native American healing traditions, and leads ceremonies with the permission of his elder.

 

All of that lives in how he relates to food. For Evan, cooking isn’t about following recipes. It’s a creative, spiritual, sensory practice. He calls his approach “freestyle kitchen” because that’s exactly what it is: intuitive, playful, connected.

 

He believes your relationship with food can change everything. This meditation is where that starts.

You've eaten a thousand meals on autopilot.
