Courageous Eating: Creating a Divine Relationship with Your Food, Your Body and Your Health

Only a couple of days until we start our teleclasses again. When I held Courageous Eating this summer, those of us in the class were able to uncover major childhood scenarios and conditioned belief systems that contributed to our present struggles in treating our bodies with self-love and eating in a way that both offers us joy and health consistently. Our relationship with food can go back to the way our parents and siblings interacted with us around the dinner table: If we were not properly protected, allowed to be heard, listened to, embraced and encouraged to be magnificent, and this also played out at mealtime (our daily and life-sustaining ritual of feeding ourselves properly), then we learned at a young age that food was: Scary; anxiety-producing; something we could control when we could not control the words and actions of those closest to us. We could also treat ourselves poorly with food because that is the message we got; that we didn't deserve to be great. Food became a personality; our primary relationship; the one that took on the character traits of our other primary relationships. In order to shift this relationship with food, we need to deconstruct the old belief sytem and reconstruct one that holds food as our most intimate lover. How would you like your relationship with your most intimate lover to be?
I love the teleclass format: It enables participants to share freely without monitoring other people's physical responses. It's actually an amazing way to create intimacy and bonding without our egos, or "monkey minds," getting involved and making up stories. There is a real freedom of expression in hearing others share from their hearts and support each other fully without interpreting body language.
Tuesday night from 8:00 - 9:00 PM begins: Courageous Eating part I; Creating a Divine Relationship with Our Food, Our Bodies and Our Health. It's a 4 week series that takes place via dial-in conference call. Tuesdays for Women; Thursdays for Men.
Then on Wednesday night we start: Courageous Eating Part II; Food, Fitness & Focus, where we put concrete pratices into place on eating in a way that supports our mood and our health and integrating physical exercise into it.
