Making Peace With The Body You Live In

This 10-day course is about challenging and changing your internal programming and learning how to spend more time in peace with your body. Whether you feel mild, moderate, or massive dissatisfaction with your body, this course is for you. Written by a psychotherapist and author who has been there herself, Andrea struggled for decades with severe body hatred and a life-threatening eating disorder. Join her as she helps you uncover the root causes of your body image issues and gently guides you along the path of making peace with the body you live in.

Lección 1: Begin & Go Within

In this first lesson, you will learn about the course concepts, as well as the instructor’s personal battles and successes with body image. The session will conclude with a brief mindfulness meditation to help you separate painful, unkind body image thoughts from actual, factual reality.

Lección 2: Revealing & Healing

This lesson will introduce you to “Dart in the Heart Moments.” These are those turning-points in time when something painful occurs and someone decides their body is somehow at fault and unacceptable. A deep journaling exercise will invite you to identify one of your Dart in the Heart Moments and a powerful visualization will then enable you to heal that wound.

Lección 3: Digging Deeper

This talk will help you gain a better understanding of the purpose and depth of body dissatisfaction. Practical examples are given to illustrate how body obsession distracts us from deeper issues and you will leave this talk armed with simple suggestions to take into your day to day life.

Lección 4: Body Apology

This lesson begins with a reading of the teacher’s personal body apology. Next is a gentle guided meditation where you can experience a body apology of your own. Walking you through various body parts, you will be guided to compassionately make amends to your body for all the ways the culture has led you and your body astray.

Lección 5: Body Appreciation

Our bodies work diligently for us, 24 hours a day. Sadly, far too many of us either forget to take the time to appreciate our bodies, think unkindly about our bodies, or get so busy we neglect to think about our bodies much at all. This lesson offers you the opportunity to give thanks and appreciation to the miraculous body you live in.

Lección 6: Heart To Heart With Parts

Every part of us, even our most angry and agonized, needs acceptance and compassion. In this lesson, you will be guided through an internal dialogue between the part of you that is dissatisfied with your body and the part of you that is pure wisdom and compassion.

Lección 7: Feel It To Heal It

Anyone who longs to change their body, does so because of how they think those changes will make them feel. In today’s lesson, we will skip right over the painful body judgements and utilize powerful experiential exercises that will enable you to experience the feelings you have been seeking.

Lección 8: Dispel The Spell

Today’s lesson begins with a talk about the massive cultural hypnotic spell that has been cast, highlighting the fact that this spell is programming rather than reality. The lesson concludes with a lovely visualization that will invite you to imagine your life without the bad body image spell.

Lección 9: Raise Your Gaze

Love is the most healing state of all. It’s all too easy not only to forget to send love to our bodies, but to actually send hate and dislike to our bodies instead. This lesson is a gentle guided meditation that will take you into your heart, allow you to fill up with the feeling of love, and view your body with that loving gaze.

Lección 10: A New Vow Now

In this final lesson, you will be invited to set an intention for the future by reciting several new vows. Every single time you see, feel, think or speak about your body, you will have another opportunity to renew those vows.

Reviews

Andrea really digs deep to the core eith her lessons, exercises and knowledge. She’s compassionate and soothing and very responsive. Thank you for this course.

Thank you Andrea for your wonderful course! I have already changed the way I view and think about my body. What stays with me most is the phrase, “my body is AMAZING !” 😊🙏

Such a loving and full time spent here. Thank you Andrea for your care and help.

Loved this course, so gentle, helpful and inspiring. Thank you 🧡

This was a very insightful course. I appreciated all the introspection it gave. I learned a great deal and have plenty of new tools going forward

The was a really helpful course. I look forward to revisiting it in the future. Also, your voice is very soothing. Reminds me a bit of actress Sherry Stringfield. 💜

This was really a great course. I am so appreciative of being able to take it. It’s a difficult challenge to retrain my brain, but this course has definitely helped me to move in that direction. I will be looking for the documentary it mentions. hopefully I will remember what the name of it is. If you could tell me where I could find it as well and on which net work that would be great. Thank you so much for this course. Have an amazing autumn . Namaste 🙏

This really help me to stop and consider how I was talking to myself about my body and yet I was still stuffing it with pain. I need to be kinder to myself and then go deeper within to heal. Thank you so much.

I recommend this course to anyone who has ever struggled with over eating or disordered eating.

Andrea, thank you so much for giving us all so much love and hope. Thank you for putting together this course. It was just what I needed to hear.

Thank you, Andrea, for the wonderful course. It was so very helpful. 🙏

What a great course! I am committed to going through it again because there were so many gems that I’m sure I’ll soak in fully, the second time. THANK YOU!

All of Andrea’s classes are creative, effective and warmly taught. I feel much better prepared to continue with the process of healing my body image challenges.
Thanks Andrea! Looking forward to your next offering

Andrea is very compassionate and well-organized. I highly recommend!

Gentle, soothing and really affective. I feel gently mpowered to love all of my body again. I feel more peace for myself than I have in a very long time. Thank you Andrea.

I’m replacing the critical voice in my head with Andrea’s until my own voice can grow strong enough to replace it. Like all her courses, this one urges the smallest steps forward into the light. So lovely. Thank you so much! 💚👏🏻🥰

Thank you, Andrea. Your course gave me some peace on my journey to self-acceptance. I find your approach and voice so soothing, and I love your practical advice and tools. I also LOVED “Getting over Overeating.”

I loved this course. It was just what I needed. I would highly recommend it. Self-love has to include love and acceptance of our bodies.

I took this course with a view of not being on friendly terms with my body because of chronic illness, and found it very helpful, thank you.

I have struggled with body image and ping ponged from one diet to another most of my adult life. I feel that I can continue to work on that now Thank you ❤️😊
