| description | This article reflects on the practice of mindful eating, intrinsically tied to the concept of living well in the Misak Indigenous world. This approach emphasizes understanding eating as a sensory and spiritual connection with the land and the cyclical rhythms of the territory. The study explores the significance of chish mamik (clean food) as a pathway to spiritual alignment with pishintø waramik (living in harmony and balance). It also examines the impact of modern pressures, particularly the coloniality of consumption, which continuously disrupts various aspects of Indigenous life. In light of these challenges, the article advocates for a sentipensar (defined as an inseparability of feeling and thinking) approach to eating well and living well, grounded in parøsøtø (food autonomy) and the Misak worldview. This vision is developed through four spirals of inter-learning: mørøp (feeling), isup (thinking), aship (seeing), and marøp (practicing), aimed at integrating bodily well-being with the harmonious stewardship of the land and its cycles. |
