Welcome to this binge eating and healing relationship with food meditation.
Find a comfortable space where you can be sitting on the ground with your back straight but not rigid.
Or you can be sitting on a chair with your feet flat against the ground.
Or you can be simply laying down.
And now close your eyes.
And when you find a comfortable position,
Start slowly inhaling through your nose,
Holding the breath up for a second,
And exhaling through your mouth,
All the tension,
All the thoughts that don't serve you.
Just breathe out,
Exhale it all out.
Again,
Inhale slowly through your nose,
Hold it up for a second,
And then when you're ready,
Exhale all the air and the tension out through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Through your nose,
Hold it up for a second,
And exhale all the tension from your body.
Let go and soften your body.
Now,
Bring your attention to the top of your crown,
In the head area,
And relax this area.
Relax the head cavity,
Your jaw,
Relax your ears,
Your forehead,
Your eyes,
The space around your eyes,
Drop your jaw,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Relax your chest area,
Drop your shoulders down from your ears,
Relax your abdomen,
Choose to let go and feel the tension melting away from these areas.
Feel your body softening.
Inhale light,
And exhale all the tension from your body.
Again,
Inhale through your nose light,
And exhale all the tension,
Thoughts that don't serve you out through your mouth.
The following questions have the purpose of helping you become aware of possible limiting beliefs and fears in your system that may be preventing you from enjoying your relationship with food.
Enjoying,
Feeling pleasure,
Feeling safe around food.
You may become aware of maybe childhood memories,
Beliefs from parents,
Family members,
And so on.
This technique was originally created by Ramadashi from India with the purpose of connecting the person to the essence of the fear so that they can realize and understand that this fear is not real even though it may feel real and that they can release it if they choose to.
So now I'm going to leave some space for you to meditate on this.
Again,
Who is it that fears binging on food and why?
What is it that you feel is real?
What is it that you feel is real?
Now,
We're going to move on to the next question.
That is,
Who is it that fears not binging on food,
As in eating all the food at once in one sitting and why?
Again,
Who is it that fears not binging,
As in not eating all the food in one sitting and why?
What is it that you feel is real?
What is it that you feel is real?
Okay.
Now,
Come back slowly and keep in mind that you may also journal on these questions.
So you may feel that you have more time to meditate on these and to see what comes up for you.
Keep in mind that the more that you practice this meditation,
The more that you will become aware of fears and limiting beliefs in your system so that you can start enjoying your relationship with food and with the rest of your life as well.
So,
If we are not experiencing enough pleasure through activities during the day other than food,
Then this can lead to binging as well.
Also,
Empty calories,
Lack of nutrition,
Trying to control thyself.
Control,
When we try to control,
It means that there is subconscious fears and judgments going on.
Judgments from others also leads to binging when we don't set healthy boundaries around these.
Scarcity mindset also plays a part when we feel limited,
When we feel that we don't have enough or that we can't have enough,
Not accepting how we look.
So,
I'm going to guide you through a small meditation,
A mini meditation,
And connect to all the things that you appreciate about your body.
What does your body do for you on a daily basis?
Become aware.
And now,
Say thank you.
Thank you three times.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
And always remember that you can release emotions,
And you will be able to enjoy your relationship with food,
And enjoy your relationship with your body as well.
This is just part of the human evolution.
Imagine yourself feeling free,
Comfortable,
And safe in your own body.
Being present,
Inhale through your nose,
And exhale all the tension of your body through your mouth.
Soften your body.
Now,
Bring your attention,
Your awareness to the seat of your soul,
Your heart center.
You can place your hands there,
Or you can simply bring your awareness there.
And repeat the following affirmations.
I appreciate all the things that my body does for me on a daily basis.
Thank you.
It is okay to feel how I feel all the time.
I accept how I feel,
And I choose to accept how my body looks.
I am not my body.
I am my soul.
I love and accept myself exactly as I am right now.
Remember to keep your awareness in your heart center so these affirmations can integrate.
I forgive myself every time I feel guilt when I eat.
I completely and totally forgive myself.
I am enough exactly as I am.
I am good enough.
I am always supported by the universe.
I trust it.
I may eat later again if I feel it.
I have enough to eat and I am safe.
I am safe.
Inhale and exhale.
Now ask someone that you feel faith in.
Maybe angels of the highest light,
Your guides,
God,
Whoever you feel in your heart.
And ask for guidance in this moment.
And know that you are always being guided,
That you are always supported.
And that you always connect with the resources that you may need in each moment.
Trust.
When you are ready,
You may start wiggling the tips of your hands and your toes and coming back.
You may now open your eyes and stretch.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Thank you.
