  About the Practice

  Join us for our monthly online community mindfulness practice! Mindfulness cultivates attention and awareness of thoughts, feelings, and all the senses without judgment. It encourages curiosity and cultivates compassion, thus providing a foundation for mindful eating. 

  The Center for Mindful Eating is committed to developing a community that shares the common goal of increasing awareness and compassion. We want to create a protected time and space where you can start a mindfulness practice, or deepen your existing practice, in the company of like-minded people.

  SOBRE LA PRÁCTICA

  ¡Únete a nuestros encuentros virtuales de Práctica de Atención Plena y Compasión!

  El Centro para la Alimentación Consciente está comprometido con el desarrollo de una comunidad que comparte el objetivo común de cultivar al atención plena y compasión. Queremos crear un espacio y tiempo seguros donde puedas iniciar una práctica de atención plena, o profundizar en tu práctica actual, en compañía de personas de ideas afines.
  

  En el año 2023, vamos a hacer una serie de encuentros inspirados en las enseñanzas de Jack Kornfield y Tara Brach para integrar la práctica en nuestro día a día como un estilo de vida. 

  El camino hacia el cambio comienza al despertar al momento presente con conciencia. La práctica de la atención plena aborda un anhelo que todos compartimos; un deseo de estar centrado, de sentirnos como en casa con nosotros mismos y con los demás, de sentirnos cómodos en nuestra propia piel.

  Nuestra intención es la de apoyarte en el desarrollo de una práctica diaria para el cultivo de una mente en calma y apertura de corazón; una práctica que enriquecerá tu vida y la vida de todos los que toques.

  
  

  Cuando dejamos de tensarnos contra la vida,

  nos abrimos a una conciencia

  inmensamente grande y llena de amor.

  ~Tara Brach~

  About the Event

  In this participatory event Linn Thorstensson DipNT mNTOI will invite you to explore how giving us permission to eat foods, especially foods that you previously have forbidden or if you've had lots of food rules can change our relationship with food and eating.

  Together we will look at The Diet-Restrict-Binge Cycle, and how food rules can play a part in keeping this going and how permission can help get us out of it.

  We will explore common fears and beliefs around what might happen if you let go of food rules and restriction and we will talk about permission as an ongoing practice in our mindful eating journey.

  Attending live is highly recommended as this is an event that invites you to come with your own questions, lived experience and input.

  Learning Objectives
  

  • Discuss how giving ourselves unconditional permission to eat ALL foods have an impact on our relationship with food
  • The participants will learn how to apply this to their own lives going forward
  • The participants will be able to identify how having strict food rules and moving toward permission in their eating will impact their relationship with food.

  
  
  

  About the Presenter

  About the Event

  Teaching meditation practices that cultivate mindfulness and mindful eating requires time, training, and personal experience with what you are teaching. The ability to teach these practices well comes, to a great extent, from your own time on the cushion, on the yoga mat, and at the table.

  But if that time is not paired with wise and clear understanding, you will not be prepared to meaningfully discuss your clients’ experiences and lead them to greater compassion and clarity—to their own inner wisdom.

  Join Dr. Rossy for an informal discussion and practice session on the art of inquiry. Inquiry is the conversation between teacher and client that ensues after a formal practice period. It is in this dialogue that clients learn to explore their own minds and bodies through the lens of mindfulness teachings.

  In this session, you will be given instructions on inquiry, lead a meditation and inquiry with another participant, and have time for Q & A about the experience.

  
  

  Learning Objectives

  1. Identify the three layers of questions to ask during inquiry.

  2. List three teachings from Buddhism that inform your ability to conduct inquiry.

  3. Demonstrate your understanding of inquiry after leading a meditation practice.
