Mindful Eating and Inner Healing

• #11 Connecting Scattered Parts Grounding Practice - Part 3

  If you're looking to be in the best health of your life, cultivating a strong connection with the language of your body is paramount. By honing our ability to listen to the subtle whispers and cues of our physical and emotional selves, we empower ourselves to make informed decisions that support our overall well-being. Through the practice of connecting scattered parts, we lay the foundation for this profound dialogue with our bodies, enabling us to tap into our innate wisdom and intuition. Welcome to the third installment of our grounding series, where we delve into the art of reconnecting scattered parts to reclaim our inner balance, presence and connection with felt sense in the body. In this session, I invite you to join me in a beautiful guided practice. Picture yourself like a flock of birds suddenly startled into flight, their once harmonious grounded formation scattered across the sky. Similarly, parts of ourselves often feel fragmented amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. But just as those birds seek to realign and find their way back together, we too yearn for a sense of wholeness and alignment. Grab your headphones, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down and immerse yourself into this practice. Feel free to share this practice with anyone who may need it. It's a great tool to use when feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or in need of a moment to feel present and connected. Check out the show notes page HERE From my heart to yours Enjoy Larissa

• #9 The Power of Grounding and Why it's Crucial for Mind Body Connection - Part 1

  The Power of Grounding: Reclaiming Your Inner Wisdom Have you ever felt like you're floating through life, disconnected from your body and the world around you? You're just being pulled along in this endless sea of distractions and obligations. If so, you're definitely not alone. But what if I told you there is a way to anchor yourself amidst the chaos to find solace in the present moment and reclaim the connection to your inner wisdom, your inner compass, and individual sense of self? What is Grounding? Grounding is really coming into the body, feeling present in the body and being able to clearly identify sensations inside the body and sensations outside the body. It involves understanding the interoceptive and proprioceptive system, which help identify inner sensations and physical structure, respectively. Grounding is a state of being, akin to anchoring oneself firmly in the present moment and being rooted in a profound connection to the physical body and surrounding environment. The Benefits of Grounding Provides a stable foundation to navigate and balance stress, anxiousness, disconnection, overwhelm, burnout, physical and emotional pain, and more. Heightens awareness of sensations, emotions, and thoughts as they arise in the present moment. Allows for a deep sense of presence, inner stability, and alignment with yourself and intuition Grounding and Mindful Eating Mindful eating involves being present and engaged with the experience of eating, paying attention to taste, texture, aromas, fullness, and hunger cues.

  Today, we're diving deep into the delicious dilemma of why we often find ourselves succumbing to the siren call of indulgence, despite our best intentions to resist that extra cupcake, chocolate bar, or, in my case this week, the irresistible allure of grandma's ginger cake. We'll unravel the mysteries behind our seemingly insatiable cravings and explore the perplexing question: why is it so darn difficult to just say no and stick to it? We'll delve into the psychology of overindulgence, examining the H.A.L.T acronym to uncover the hidden motivations driving our behaviors when we know deep down that we'd rather exercise restraint. But here's the kicker: we'll also uncover why relying solely on willpower is like trying to paddle upstream without a paddle. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work in the long run. So buckle up, my fellow food enthusiasts, as we unravel the five reasons why we often find ourselves reaching for that extra bite when we know we shouldn't. Sure, it's easy to exercise control when we want to, but what about those moments when our appetites seem to have a mind of their own? That's where things get interesting. So grab your fork and let's dig in as we explore the intricate dance between mind, body, and food in the quest for mindful eating and inner healing. Welcome to the delicious dilemma.
