What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love that somehow contains the entire universe. Rumi
“I feel FAT!” This phrase (and the experience it’s expressing…) continues to take up too much space in too many women’s lives. Body image challenges and the disordered eating behaviors it drives affect every aspect of one’s well-being. Our culture is obsessed with weight, food, dieting and exercise even though 95% of the time this fear-based approach fails to create lasting peace and true health. Fighting with our bodies is ineffective at best, at worst Diet Drama keeps us from stepping into our power and living life to the fullest.
Oddly enough, you can hear women of all shapes and sizes state “I feel FAT.” That’s because body image goes way deeper than the scale and cellulite. I’ve yet to meet a women who’s found peace, health and empowerment through war with her body. What I have seen is painful body image starve women of happiness, energy, clarity, creativity and more. This has troubled me since I recovered myself so I’ve committed my work to changing it because I believe it changes the world.
If the women of the world were comfortable, the world would be a comfortable place. Samual Zinn
Body Karma Healing is my signature yoga-based program for making peace with your body, food and full creative power.
Though my unique 3 limbed PEACE Approach we address the roots of problematic/painful body image and diet drama by developing essential Soul Skills that move us from merely surviving to fully thriving:
Peaceful body image is…your birthright! Instead of “feeling FAT” (which is about way more than weight) you feel FREE. It’s relief from Body Karma: inherited fear, guilt and shame around our bodies and our “shakti”, the divine feminine creative force within us all. Peaceful body image is essential in healing the relationship with ourselves, food, movement and more. It’s the foundation of a happy, healthy, fulfilling life!
Eating & exercise Alignment is…honoring body wisdom to direct when, what, and how much to eat and move. It applies mindfulness of the body’s experience to inform our behavior so it lines up with overall well-being. This approach is weight neutral so that it can be guided internally by love vs externally by fear. This practice fosters sustainable lifestyle changes and liberates our prana (life force) to focus on what truly matters.
Creative Expression is…necessary to heal through layers of ego and happens naturally when we stop fighting with our bodies. The True Self shines through empowering us to action (karma) in living our dharma (cosmic purpose). Living our light is the greatest service (seva) we can offer the world. Plus, it’s FUN!
