Conscious Eating beats Unconscious Eating any day!.......2005-11-16

I'm a busy guy, no different than any of us stuck in this rat race we call modern life. My wife told me to listen to this "Conscious Eating" CD because she was worried about my eating habits. Basically, I practice the "grab 'n go" diet, which is basically to grab anything convenient and fast, and then eat it on the go. Yeah, I've gained weight, and my blood sugar keeps getting higher. If I'm not careful, my doc tells me I'm looking at adult onset diabetes, chronic hypertension, and general decrepitude. I figured I got nothing to lose, so I listened to the CD.

I was a little nervous at first, not because conscious eating smacked of new age mumbo jumbo, but because the last thing I tried with "conscious" in the title, "Conscious Cuisine" by Gary Neff, left me traumatized (see my review). The first "Conscious Eating" CD has a spoken introduction and 5 guided meditations on the principles and practice of conscious eating. The book that comes with the CDs also explains the ideas behind conscious eating, which apparently comes from Yokibics, a trademarked application of yogic and chakric principles towards mind/body/spirit health as developed by Gael Chiarella. Ms. Chiarella's voice is very soothing on the meditations, and I began to feel more centered and calm as she talked me through new ways of perceiving hunger, food, and my relationship to both.

After repeated listening of the first CD and thorough reading of the book, I sat down for my first meal as a conscious eater. I put on the second CD and filled the dining room with the soothing music of Silvia Nakkach to put me in the right mood. I prepared a very simple meal of mostly raw vegetables with some humus and pita bread. I picked up a sliver of carrot, felt its connection to me, and began to chew with more relaxation and gratitude than I have ever felt while eating or doing anything else, for that matter. I felt a warm glow as the full energy of that carrot spread within me and filled me with such pleasure and contentment that I began to weep with sheer joy. I ate a cauliflower floret and again found myself overwhelmed with feeling, causing more tears to stream down my face. I only managed to eat three more morsels during that meal, but felt more fulfilled and satisfied than from consuming any banquet or buffet.

My wife barely recognizes me now, not just from all the weight I have lost, but also from my newfound spiritual awakening. She cannot eat with me, however, as she finds my tears of joy and gratitude "weird and unseemly." I tell her I can't help myself, and that my reactions are purely spontaneous, but she continues to eat in a separate room from me. I don't mind. My new relationship with food consumes all my focus, so our arrangement works well.

Product Description

WHAT we eat is important but HOW we eat and how we live are just as essential to a healthy relationship with food. Eating well cannot be maintained in a chaotic, unfulfilled life. This CD offers four guided meditations for eating mindfully and for easing the stress and emotions that so often drive our overeating. With this CD you will be supported to slow down, tune in and nourish yourself through breathing, an attitude of self-compassion and savoring your meals. Mark Kelso's original heart-opening musical compositions enhance these profound meditations that listeners enjoy over and over again. The four meditations include: Two mindful eating meditations for listening to while eating: one extended, one abbreviated. One guided journalling meditation for exploring feelings and issues. One breathing meditation for easing tension and emotions. Alison Shore Gaines leads Mindful Eating and Cleansing Retreats at Omega Institute and Kripalu Center. Her training in Lifestyle Education, Holistic Nutrition, Gestalt Psychology, Yoga and Meditation blend with her wealth of life experience to create safe and sacred environments. Alison is especially known for her profound healing meditations. "Through Alison's wisdom, depth and gentleness, I have made a connection to myself and to food that is sacred and has changed me forever." A. Gardener, Business Coach "Alison has taught me how to empower myself in my choices with food and in life." T. Meredith, Homemaker "In Alison's guided experiences, I explore a realm inside myself in which I receive my own insight and compassion." S. Meredith, Actor, Teacher
