  In recent scientific studies we understand better how a compassionate mind influences our brains, bodies and the way we relate to ourselves and food.
  

  
  

  In this two-part webinar series, we will discuss and experience different compassion-based meditation practices which nourish the heart qualities, both for health care professionals as their clients.

  
  

  These heart-full meditations will be offered as a home assignment after the first session and practiced on a daily basis throughout the following week.
  

  
  

  In part one of the series, we offer an introduction to heart-full-ness that will provide participants with a better understanding of these effective qualities, its history and benefits. In the second part of the series, there is time for sharing and an opportunity to learn from each other what they've noticed in the past week.

  
  

  The attendees have the chance to evaluate and discuss the heart-based meditations which were offered as a home assignment after the first session. In part 2, there will be further deepening of the compassion-based model for individuals with eating issues (working with resistance, self-criticism, shame, difficult emotions).

  ¿Alimentación Consciente o Dieta? En busca del Bienestar

  Muy a menudo se percibe la Alimentación Consciente (Mindful Eating) como una forma de dieta. E incluso se imparte en centros de adelgazamiento como una herramienta más de acompañamiento en la restricción alimenticia. La confusión que esto crea, e incluso el

  daño que puede hacer sobre la persona, nos ha llevado a elaborar un Posicionamiento desde el Centro para la Alimentación Consciente sobre el control del peso. Hablaremos sobre esto y sus consecuencias.

  
  

  Durante este encuentro queremos crear un espacio para el diálogo y la comprensión de la práctica de Alimentación Consciente y como esta difiere de una dieta restrictiva.  

  Las consecuencias a corto, medio y largo para la salud física y mental de la persona. Ahondaremos en las fuentes del bienestar con respecto a la Alimentación.

  
  

  Objetivos de aprendizaje:
  

  1. Definir ¿Qué es Alimentación Consciente?
     
  2. Reflexión sobre la diferencia con las dietas restrictivas
     
  3. Ahondaremos en las fuentes del Bienestar

  As concern about body size continues as a primary topic among those interested in health and well-being, it is essential that mindful eating teachers understand the role of mindful eating in supporting the internal regulation of a healthful weight. 

  
  

  Equally important is to recognize weight stigma, which is a driving factor for eating and weight struggles among many people. 

  
  

  This presentation will equip mindful eating teachers with understanding, knowledge and tools to help their clients move beyond the thin ideal to make eating choices that truly support their health and well-being.
