Challenges exist ...

We are all born with an inbuilt sense of eating in the right way, which helps us maintain a healthy, fairly constant weight. That sense is felt in the body and it “whispers” to us when to eat, what to eat and when we are satiated.

For many of us that sense is lost at some point or gradually, over the years. Instead, we start listening to the mind.

But the mind is not in tune with our naturalness and balance. Instead, it functions by programs or patterns we learned as children:

• patterns around eating habits (for example, if our mother constantly insists that we finish our plate, we learn to always do, even when we are beyond satiation; if we followed strict meal hours, we may continue, as adults, to eat before we are hungry, or postpone eating until we are too hungry to be mindful about what we eat).

• patterns around using food for something other than nourishment: as solace, a reward, a way of managing stress etc.

In addition, our disconnect from the body is aggravated by the speed of our lives, the overload of information and the distractions caused by mobile phones, tablets or the TV.

... to be solved:

Working with the subconscious is a powerful way to restore the lost connection with the body, that sense that we need for healthy, balanced and deeply enjoyable eating.

In these sessions, with the support of medical hypnosis, self-hypnosis and meditation:

• We will bring light to the patterns you have around food, thus creating the opportunity for them to dissolve and clear the way to the body-connection.

• We will find alternative ways to deal with the issues that the overeating is compensating for (e.g. dealing with stress in a more skillful way).

• We will awaken and strengthen the connection with the body and its sense for proper nourishment.

Reconnected with our natural sense of healthy eating, we start to easily recognise when our body needs nourishment, how much and in which amount. The body weight, then naturally drops to its healthy, optimal level and is supported to stay there.
