Pay Attention

"To discover what you really believe, pay attention to the way you act-and to what you do when things don't go the way you think they should.  Pay attention to what you value.  Pay attention to how, and on what you spend your time, your money.  Pay attention to the way you EAT." --Geneen Roth in Women Food and God

I made a commitment to paying close attention to what I eat without judgement, and really BEING present with the food as I'm eating.  Would you believe it?  An incredible book showed up as I was searching on the net for support in my experiment! It's called Life Style Without Food by Joachim M Werdin.  It's a free download on  http://inedia.info/.

WOW! Thank you, God! I feel freakin' excited about this book and the way JMW gently takes you through every possibility of inedia (non-eating)!  It gives me a feeling that this process could be very easeful.
 
On the chapter called "Conscious Eating", he takes you through seven practices of very detailed CE and explains the benefits.  One of the main concepts in the CE process is to FEEL EVERYTHING. No thinking. No judgements. No stories.  Just ALLOW the feelings to rise and BE PRESENT with them.  Conscious Eating gives your body exactly what it needs (Real Body Needs) in the right quantity and at the right time." p.104 LSWF

Just in reading the book, I've noticed myself shifting to a whole new level of awareness around eating.  I haven't even started practicing  the steps of Conscious Eating yet. Thank you, JMW.
