Mindfulness
meditation is a
contemplative practice of bringing your present-moment awareness to
everything that you do. Beginners and experienced meditators alike
often choose one activity, and use that as their "practice' rather than
trying to apply it to everything you do.
"As you are
washing the dishes,
imagine washing every dish as though
it was a newborn baby Buddha!"
- Thich Nhat
Hahn
Conscious
eating is the art of bringing mindfulness meditation to eating. Through
the exquisite process of self-observation, practiced on a regular
basis, it can lead to insights, self-awareness, self-acceptance and a
deeper understanding of your inner drives and motives. It can also lead
to natural weight loss, by uncovering the root causes of unconscious
over-eating. When you begin being
mindful during eating, you become aware of unconscious patterns in your
own mind.
Conscious
eating is a tool for recognising unconscious patterns in your mind.
Once you become aware of these patterns in your own mind, you can
change them. Changing these patterns and putting new patterns in place,
is what will change your approach to food, and eventually lead to
weight loss.
Many
diets fail because they only focus on the food itself, and not your
mind. Of course you will lose weight if you eat less, but if you don't
work on your mental attitude, if you don't understand what drove you to
overeat in the first place, you will only flip back to your old habits,
once the diet is done. The key to sustained health and weight loss lies
in a deeper understanding of your own mind.
Conscious Eating is an
invitation... to
really 'be' with your Self.
Through
continued mindfulness you discover the root causes of your own
unconscious overeating. Recognition of these patterns in yourself
allows for healing, and change. Once
you change these
patterns in your consciousness, you can choose a different approach to
your food, change your relationship with food, and your body begins to
regulate itself. It is
all about recognising and changing patterns in
your own mind. "I learned how to eat food consciously and I am benefiting greatly by
using this method. Up till now it was difficult for me to find time for
meditation in the morning.
Now, when I have my breakfast, by paying
attention to my food
I am aware of my physical and emotional
experience.
This mindfulness meditation refreshes me and makes me ready
for the day."

Conscious
Eating is not a fast weight-loss program.
It
takes courage to be with yourself in deeper ways. You have to be kind
to yourself and be committed to the process, as you uncover layer after
layer. As you go deeper you may discover old hurts that you have tried
to
'stuff down' by over eating. It is an ongoing process of
Self-discovery, and there really is no end to the journey.
When you begin
conscious eating, the first thing you notice will not be the
root cause: you have to be prepared to stay alert and keep going
deeper.
It is best to
not have weight loss as a goal but just to begin
from
the perspective of deepening your insight and
self-understanding,
that
way there is no attachment to outcome.
We all have learned
behaviour patterns around food.
If you have courage and are prepared to take steps to change, you can
change. You CAN change these behaviour patterns and alter your
relationship with food. When you do this, your body weight naturally
regulates itself.
Your Body Can Balance Itself
Although Conscious
Eating takes time, patience and effort it is still a
kind, gentle and natural way to restore balance to your body. Through
mindful
awareness you begin to recognize that your body really can balance
itself and heal. You can return to good health, provided you stay
committed, alert and responsive
to your body's needs.
Conscious
Eating is a committment to your own
Self-care.
It
is not about what
you eat, but how
you eat it.
You can continue
eating what you have always eaten, but if you eat with
mindfulness,
you
will begin changing, eating differently, with awareness, and your body
will begin to regulate itself. "I didn't realise how conscious eating can show you aspects of yourself which you
were not aware of. Ruth's teleclass is such a fascinating journey into you.
I highly recommend it."
- MW Edinburgh
Are you ready
to allow your body to return to a healthy
weight for you?
You never know what you will discover about
yourself.
If practiced
regularly as a mindfulness meditation, you will notice that the same
patterns often show up in other areas of your life too. Conscious
eating can take you beyond food into a deeper understanding of, and
appreciation for, your Self.
Some
benefits of conscious eating:
- discover the
root causes of unconscious overeating
- feel better in
yourself
- develop healthy eating patterns
- allow your body weight to regulate itself
naturally
- trust yourself and your body
- develop deeper self-understanding
Working with a coach can help you to develop
