Waking Up From Your (Food) Patterns

Hello and Yay!  This class just popped into my head in the wee hours of the morning a couple days ago.  Seemed like a nudge from The Big Loving All.  So I’m following the energy and seeing if you would like to come look in a new way at food, your patterns and Who You Are. 

People are showing up lately who would really love some relief from their usual head trip about food.  Me too, for sure.  What I am finding absolutely most helpful is to look in a new direction. To look at who I am besides this food thing. To understand where this “food thing” comes from, to understand how to be with it and to start looking toward the Vaster, Deeper Christina.  We get used to staring at the same story so hard that nothing else seems to exist. But that doesn’t make it true.  It just makes it what we’re used to.

I am the whole FOREST of being, not only ever just one single blade of grass.  I’m exploring toward the power and being-ness of that forest, rather than mistake myself as only one tiny part of it. The Forest, in its loving entirety, holds all those elements within its spirit but is never only one element.  I hope you’ll come see how this gives me – gives us  – so much more freedom and relief than we may have been experiencing lately. Whether that be around food or anything else we’re struggling with.

I am smiling and quietly feeling how much I love and appreciate being in connection with you all. I hope you feel it too.  
Heart connected with you,

Is your struggle with food driving you bananas?! So many of us have a story we feel caught up in. We may feel helpless to repetitive thoughts and behaviors. No matter how long you’ve felt stuck, it’s not permanent and there is relief! Join us to see it differently, find ease and a enjoy a much lighter, friendlier way to relate to food, your body and LIFE itself!

Whether you binge, starve, restrict, obsess, are afraid of food, can’t get enough of food, use food for comfort, use hunger for control, eat junk and want to eat healthy, aren’t listening to your body, eat what’s convenient instead of what you want, can’t find a rhythm…. Whatever it is, our patterns may look different, but there are universal reasons why we get confused about food.

This workshop will focus on food-related patterns, but will shed huge light on ALL the repetitive stories and struggles in your life. What we will cover will benefit ANYONE stuck in a loop! In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll explore:

1. Why you get stuck in your food pattern.
2. What is the essential misunderstanding that it stands on?
3. Why Willpower and Trying the same strategy HARDER doesn’t work.
4. How to wake up from your patterns.

There will also be:
5. Ample opportunity for individual coaching about your specific challenges.
6. Guided meditation at the end to help anchor and integrate the information and insights in this workshop.

If you can’t attend the zoom meeting live, no worries! Everyone who registers/pays for this course will be sent a private YouTube link so that you may watch the recording at any time! Access to the video will also let you use the meditation as many times as you like so that you can re-ground and stay connected to the relief and freedom of the class.

You are MORE than your obsessive focus and repetitive thoughts! We’ll help pop you out of that world for awhile so you can see SO much more option and freedom than you realized was there!

New Things Are Coming…


It’s fall. You might be noticing some old things fall away.  That can be uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels excruciatingly uncomfortable!  CHANGE can be uncomfortable. There is, well, always, some uncomfortable change happening in the world. Right now seems extra. Some of the shift that we’re doing individually is pretty dang uncomfortable too. I feel it in my life, and I’m hearing about it from clients and friends. Sometimes that feels like nostalgia or wishing that things could go back to the way they were or just a general desire for comfort. For safety. For something ELSE to be happening besides what is actually happening right now!
 
I think what eases me is the knowing that change has to happen. Life Itself keeps growing, expanding and moving. That’s the natural, dependable way of it. Water finds a way.  Love finds a way. Beauty finds a way. Growth finds a way. To us, from our limited perspective, sometimes that growth feels like things are off-kilter. Like things are bad, wrong, shouldn’t be happening. But to Life, it’s necessary shift.  It’s natural.
 
WE are life.  YOU are life.  What is happening is for you. As Byron Katie says: Life is happening for you, not to you.  Could we see everything that is happening as a gift from Life?  What if we could embrace and welcome it? For me, even considering that changes my experience of it. 
 
It makes sense to me that I am part of life, not separate. And it makes sense that LIFE is going to change in ways that are necessary even though I might not understand it.
 
So would it help us to maybe relax into the river of shift?  Maybe relax and let the timing take care of itself?  Maybe we can stay open and wonder about what this thought, event, feeling or circumstance might be paving the way for. 

Maybe we can be tender, loving and even appreciative with ourselves as we walk through change.  We’ve been through a lot. And we’re doing incredibly well as we experience those sometimes sudden and other times slow fires of transformation.
 
Take a minute.  This is extraordinary. All the newness that has arrived from previous change is extraordinary. WE are extraordinary.
 
Want to celebrate with me? We can celebrate even as we might be crying.  We can celebrate the fullness together even as things fall away.  And what about even celebrating the falling away itself?
 
I’m sending some gentle love and blessings to you all this fall. In this time of change, our hearts are connected and I really feel that we are always held by Whatever It Is that changes everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So much love,
CB
