and so that you can hear and
feel when you are stressed and
would normally use food as
your only tool to de stress and
comfort the situation.
But first wouldn’t it be great
fun to suspend all of our beliefs
around food, what’s good,
bad, healthy, what he or she
thinks are the best superfoods
ever or the best diet for
everyone. We are all different
and we were all educated,
and brought up differently, how
to be with and around food,
our understanding of etiquette
and manners, and as we are all
different we want to be fulfilled
quite differently as well.
No one diet fits all. So then we
have to take responsibility for
ourselves, our health, our own
likes and dislikes, listen to what
our bodies tell us when we eat
something, or in a situation
that is difficult or extreme.
So
experimentation
and
discovering is what’s called for,
to go on an adventure with the
food and the mood you eat in.
I invite you to join me in June
2014 for a workshop I am jointly
running with this is mind.
950.00 Euros for an all inclusive
week to suspend your beliefs
around food, a two day juice
fast, an introduction to raw
food and as many experiences
with food that will get you to
discover for yourself what you
like and dislike and what you
want more of.
In daily life its common that
we don’t ask ourselves how
we feel at every turn, how did
that affect me, how did that
situation make me feel, so when
we get a chance for quiet time
we begin to feel. For most of us
that would be in the evening,
when we are alone, for me
when the children have gone
to bed. We are alone at last
and the body and heart are so
happy to get our full attention,

the information about the day
begins to literally flood in. There
is no volume control or speed
control its just a huge Woosh,
and its actually very difficult to
take it all in, overwhelming is a
good way to describe it. So to
slow down this stored reservoir
of information and feelings we
choose an addiction. One of
the safest is food, others are
drink, gambling, shopping, any
form of distraction that gets
you to relax and not feel the
situation. Workaholics are often
not aware that this too is part of
their addiction pattern.
The body wants to be heard
and if we don’t take time to
hear it then it will make us stop
and listen, accidents happen,
illnesses, viruses, burnouts and
situations out of our control will
manifest
Into our lives.
