"The Sweet Spirit
Chocolatier Katrina Markoff makes a connection between the spirituality of yoga and her favorite gourmet truffles.

By Donna Freitas

Any chocolate lover can tell you stories of worshipping at its sweet, syrupy altar. Put before us in a moment of weakness, celebration, post-traumatic breakup, or following a decadent meal, it is useless to resist temptation. While famously excessive Bridget Jones has a penchant for imbibing large amounts of alcohol and far too many cigarettes, for many of us, chocolate is our sin of choice.

But what if we could reconcile this sweet indulgence with our spiritual lives? If, through eating a chocolate, we could enhance our spiritual practices? Might that shift our sense of chocolate from vice to transformative virtue?

Interesting? ;)
