Weight Loss and Meditation

Hello Gorgeous Soul,

I wanted to share a little story with you today about a little side effect I found, and so have many of my clients, when it comes to meditation and the effects it can have on your life but first let me give you some background.

Firstly I want to start out by saying this side effect wasn't the reason I started meditating.

Many of you know my story but for those of you that don't for now just know I began meditating for two main reasons...

Firstly Rheumatoid Arthritis at the time was controlling my life and body and it is accepted in the West that one of the biggest triggers for a flare up is stress. So I decided I needed to control my stress. Secondly mentally at this time I wasn't doing too well. My auto immune diseases were taking their toll on my mind as well as my body. I felt low, lost, and actually when I look back clearly clinically depressed.

But after a few months I started to notice another change in my body....I started to lose weight (and I never lost weight easily!)

I considered why this might be and through looking at my lifestyle I could see I was no longer relying on snacks, comfort food, glassess of wine to make me feel good.

You see I didn't feel the same unconscious desire to escape. I could just be with myself - whether I was happy, sad, angry, anxious - and I didn't have the same level of desire to run away from it or numb it out - because I was OK with it.

I had developed a larger capacity to hold the emotions and not run away from them.

So now when I am working with clients who desire to lose weight, this is the first area we work on as will power will only get you so far.

I so hope you have found this interesting and don't forget if you want support establish or deppening your meditation practice. JOIN US here in Insights to Awakening (themedicinewomancollective.com) before Early Bird Pricing expires TOMORROW
