MINDFUL LIVING/CONSCIOUS EATING
Practical Skills That Nourish & Connect
This is a skill-building program to help you access your
inner resources to develop new, healthy responses to old habituated patterns.
Mindfulness can facilitate the exploration of your relationship to eating and
food and provide an opportunity to see more clearly the connection of body, mind
and heart. By bringing awareness to and through the senses you can become more
mindful of how, when, where what and why you eat.
Weight, diets and rules are not the focus in this
program. The focus is on gaining skills and
understanding that allow you to change your relationship
to food so that eating takes a balanced place alongside
other aspects of your life. The intention is for you to
feel more in control of your life and your eating, and
to fully enjoy both.

patterns and external cues that trigger cravings and
behaviors.
- Acquire skills to work with emotional reactions that
trigger you to eat.

emotions.
