Conscious Eating Practice

Conscious Eating gives your body exactly what it needs (Real Body Needs) in right quantity and at the right time. The following is a summary of the seven steps when you FEEL hungry:

1. Relax the mind and body and ask yourself,  "What is it?"...  Do not THINK about the reason, just FEEL the answer.  It is possible at this point the hunger will vanish and there is no RBN.  A picture or emotion may emerge, because blocked emotions or thinking mechanisms when they are pushed out, are first felt as hunger.  Feeding emotions put them back into the psyche.  Acknowledge the feeling and let it go.  Breathe through it.  BE present with it.
2. If you are still hungry, ask yourself what you want to eat.  Again, FEEL the answer.  Just imagine feeling it in your mouth and stomach.  Ask, "What is it?"...  Immerse yourself in any thoughts or pictures that emerge, allowing them to fully pass through you, as you FEEL them all over the mind and body.  After they are gone, they will never make you hungry again.
3. If you are still hungry, FEEL your every move as you prepare the food.  Ask the feeling again, "What is it?"
4. If you are still hungry, slowly bring a piece of food to your nose as you observe the slightest movement and body sensation.  As you smell the food ask again,  "What is it?"... only FEELING no thinking. If no emotion, picture, or thought appears, and hunger is still there, continue.
5. Bite the food.  Keep it in the mouth and FEEL, FEEL, FEEL...  OBSERVE, do NOT think! 
6. Very important.  Chew it for a long time.  Never less than three minutes.  The longer, the better.  Swallow ONLY when it has changed to liquid and changed the taste.  Again, FEEL, FEEL, FEEL...  OBSERVE, do NOT think! 
7. Proceed this way with every bite until you feel full. 

With CE you give the body what it needs, when it needs, and in the right amount.  You learn about yourself.  The intellect becomes more receptive to the voice of intuition, which gives you whatever you need.  

I have discovered much more pleasure with much less food because I'm not just gobbling it down.  I am amazed how just one time of practicing CE completely changed my relationship with food.  WOW!
