This video is about deepening the connection to your body and understanding bodily sensations.

This video, in addition to helping you make sense of your bodily sensations, explores how to really start building trust with your body. Trusting your body is the essence of eating enlightenment.

The essence of eating enlightenment is you have it within you that your body can return to a natural way of eating that stops being eating and leads to you returning to your natural body weight.

In metaphorical terms, in eating enlightenment, we believe you have an inner light.

The first part of the video is about listening to the messages of your inner light, which are expressed through your bodily sensations.

The second half of the video is about protecting the inner light.

You might imagine a flame, a candle, on a windy day. If you do not shield, protect, and care for the candle, the flame will be blown out.

Body Connection Commentary:

Body connection

If you recall e, earlier on, Sasaidhat, one of the most powerful questions you could practice was asking what am I feeling right now?

AnThisable can help you explore where people feel different bodily sensations and moods.

Often, when we examine our emotions, we can become confused and not really know what we are feeling.

However, most people can feel their bodies, and even if they don’t know where precisely they are feeling and what option they are feeling, they can see if they are feeling neutral, unpleasant, or pleasant.

It’s great if you can feel the emotion in a specific part of your body, but it’s okay if you struggle with this. One powerful way you can practice feeling your feelings is to simply check in with your body and see if you’re feeling pleasant, neutral, or unpleasant.

And study your patterns for a few days… what we are doing here is building trust with your body.

Body Connection – Exposing Yourself To Light To Build Self-Confidence

See h, here’s how you build trust. It’s called exposure.

Exposure means that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

So, in eating enlightenment, sometimes the intensity of our feelings can overwhelm us.

However w, we realize that the more we expose ourselves to these feelings, The stronger we will become.

So here’s a practical example: you look under the hood and try to feel your emotions. You feel something in your gut b, but you’re unsure what.

And you know it’s unpleasant. You say you are feeling anxious.

This anxiety is very intense, and you want to eat, distract yourself, think about your to-do list… You want to do a thousand things, anything, but you feel this weird feeling in your gut.

Yet, you are exposing yourself by feeling your emotions in your gut. You are building your emotional resilience.

The next time this feeling arises in your gut, it will be more familiar, and because this feeling didn’t kill you last time, you will be less afraid of it.

This way, we learn to turn away from our feelings.

By not running away from our feelings, we grow in trust, strengthen ourselves, and strengthen our connection with our bodies.

This is how we connect to our inner light.

DeDeepakhopra also has some interesting thoughts on body connection. If you’re curious about his thoughts, click here to read his article.

But I won’t stop there. Our inner light is fragile. It sends messages to our bodies, like anxiety and our.

That’s your body telling you something.

That’s your inner light trying to get your attention. Aka … Body Connection

Body Connection and Protecting Your Inner Light

If we do not act a eed a and respect our body’s messages, the inter light will be extinguished.

Then we will binge eat, then we will disconnect and not live our best lives.

So, we must protect and care for the messages that we receive from our body and our inner light.

So, eating enlightenment makes us realize that to help another person truly, we have to be able to love and support ourselves.

Let’s be honester for a minute… Your relationships, children, friends, and family… don’t need a stressed-out depleted you. WhTheyeed a quality you.

Pause and think real quick; they need you to be present energetically.

They need you to be a source of love for yourself that radiates outwardly.

I grew up in a family where my parents were physically present but not emotionally present, and I know that physical presence is not the whole picture.

I grew up in a family where my parents were physically present but not emotionally present, and I know that physical presence is not the whole picture.

You need to be emotionally there in your relationships as well. So it would be best if you do it yourself first.

What would it mean for you to care for yourself like you do your children?

That’s what we’re asking you to lean into.

How do you take care of yourself and others?

If you need some help getting motivation to answer this question, I wrote a post here that should help you figure out the benefits of a healthy lifestyle while letting go of an unhealthy lifestyle.
