Satisfying Hunger

I recently led a 90-minute workshop in Atlanta titled "Satisfying Hunger: The Secret Your Body Wants To Tell You." (Click here for details on the program.) Here's a comment from one of the women who attended...

My experience at the workshop, after doing some of the belly-energizing exercises, was a delightful and delicious sense that I was completely filled with my Self.

The struggle or effort I continually put into "connecting" to myself was gone. The distance or gap I imagine to be present most of the time as I journey through daily living, vanished. The energy released from my belly filled me up — it filled in the gap — effortlessly.

What is most interesting and most exciting to me is that although I "know" that the gap isn't real, I still feel it most of the time. I've gotten used to it and tend to try to fill it with food — the image that comes to mind is throwing food into Tallulah Gorge. It's about that senseless and satisfying.

So, I'm excited about making these exercises/practice part of my daily routine. I love the feeling of being filled with Self. I think the belly work will be a crucial part of healing my relationship with Self. Again, thank you, thank you!!
