Eating Awareness
Drinking, drugs, food, even the internet, like so much of what we consume today, might throw us out of balance, making it a challenge to get off of the mouse wheel. Get on track, with mindful awareness. Be your awesome self, without the guilt.
Consuming mindfully means that we become aware of what we put in our bodies, our eyes, our ears, and minds so that we get good stuff that supports us and helps us to be strong and healthy. In life, much of what we consume either “pay rent” or does not. In fact, some of what we consume “destroys the house. Our program helps you to slow down and think about what, when, why, how and where?
The Work Mindfulness Eating Awareness Training (EAT) program was originally funded and supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to address mindless consumption, stress-related eating, disordered eating patterns, and obesity. Through the application of mindfulness meditation, we make a difference in how we relate to food and life. Our program is for anyone that might find that they need to practice more mindfulness around food, or desserts that cause them issues, either physically or psychologically. You can take this program with a group, or as an individual.
Informed by Judd Brewer, and Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), this work uses Dr. Jean Kristeller’s research program and principles of food intake regulation. This program employs mindfulness meditation, eating exercises, didactic instruction, and self-reflection to cultivate mindful awareness and a more balanced and positive relationship with eating and weight.
We offer the EAT program to individuals or groups that wish to commit themselves to transform their relationships with food. The 10-week program requires ongoing coaching. To get a feel for the program, we invite individuals or groups to start with a comprehensive 3-hour online program and follow it the ten modules. The EAT program is offered online or via our live face-to-face meetings to help you change the way you eat, savor, enjoy and thrive.
