036. A Mindfulness Meditation for the Binge Eater

Hey Mama,

This week I’m mixing the podcast up a bit. Episode 36 brings you a tool to use when working on mindfulness and eating.

So...What am I sharing?

A meditation that you can use any time to work on mindfulness practices around food.

In this meditation, you’ll use your five basic senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. And you’ll slow down enough to actually taste your food and get present with it.

You’ll get to hone in on where your satisfaction level lies: Is it bite four, eight, or ten?

This is your own intuitive experience, and you get to decide. 

The best part of eating with your senses is that you’re slowing down the pace of your eating. When you sit down with your feet on the floor, so you’re grounded, you can give gratitude toward your food. You’ll come into the present moment and you’ll connect to your food and your body in a very meaningful way. 

When you’re present, you approach food with openness, curiosity, and a more intuitive experience that allows you to see and feel when you actually feel full. That actually enhances the enjoyment of the food. 

As you practice this over and over again, you’ll begin to realize that you can trust your body.

You can trust yourself.

And that has a ripple effect into all other aspects of your life! 💗

Xx
