The Work of Byron Katie
   




 

Horrible Food--Wonderful Food!
Healing the Love/Hate Relationship with Eating, Food, & Our Bodies—that Leads to Weight Gain & Loss, Anorexia, Bulimia, Exercise Addiction, Binge Eating, Dangerous Diets and Depression.

 
July 20 - September 7, 2012
Teleclass

Do you wonder why you ate so much without consciously feeling it until after a meal is over? Do you worry that some foods will hurt you if you eat them, or if you don’t eat them? Do you constantly return to thinking about when, where, how or if you’ll eat…and wonder how to stop your obsessive thinking, or how to fix your diet? Are you uncertain about what your stressful thoughts even ARE around food and eating, when it just seems you feel bad, scared, sad or hopeless?

And what about the endless thinking about losing weight. When, how long it will take, what your weight is at the moment, what it was like when you used to weigh less, how it will be when you weigh something different in the future…

There are so many approaches to eating and volumes of books written on how to eat, when to eat, where to eat, what to eat, what not to eat…and that’s not even taking into consideration our judgments about our bodies, what they weigh, how they’re operating, and if they’re attractive or good enough. Our relationship with food I find is a microcosm of how we view life, how fearful, how suspicious, how sad we may feel about getting it right. It relates to how we believe we don’t have enough of something, or that there is too much of something else, or whether we can really trust the flow of in and out like the tides, whether we can live with the unknown mystery of All That Is.

Join us for this teleclass to investigate with fresh eyes our concepts about eating and using energy in the form of food, and how we feel about the body and the variety of sizes we all have. There is wonderful power of healing in doing the Work in a group and witnessing the beliefs that rise out of other people’s minds.

About the Presenter


Grace B
Grace Bell, M.A., Certified Facilitator and Life Coach, has a private practice in northeast Seattle in-person and by phone, and works with people from all walks of life, with special care for concerns around love relationships and divorce, eating disorders and eating issues of all kinds, money, and cancer or other frightening diagnoses. She loves working with teens and older on eating anxiety.

Grace spent 10 years experiencing brutally painful beliefs resulting in bulimia, anorexia, bingeing, dieting and panic around body image and food. After some years of therapy and normalizing, and then finding The Work, she lives as someone whose relationship with food is constantly, amazingly peaceful.

This course can be taken privately for eight 1 hour phone sessions for $840 at the time of the participant’s preferred schedule. The private class is not eligible for BKI Certification Credits.

Here in The Work, I found a way to gently stop my battles with anyone or anything…even the most sad, horrifying, disgusting or irritating things…including the battles I have raged with me. Some examples of my most changed stories, ones that used to be a nightmare and now are exciting and joyful:
  • With food and eating I was bulimic, anorexic, loathing my body, obsessed….now I feel like I did when I was a little child, eating when hungry, stopping when full, delighted with everything and most importantly, not spending time thinking about food, my body, or my weight, ever.

  • With divorce and relationships, I was terrified, abandoned, anxious, full of rage….now I feel like my former husband is one of my best friends and people I dated were amazing teachers. I discovered I was set free, not abandoned.

  • With money, work and business I was living in hell, sure I wouldn’t have enough, went down to zero in the bank, and believed that working was like being in prison and running a business was embarrassing (having to market or get clients)…now I do what I love every single day, I love work and everyone I encounter, I watch money come and go and know it’s perfect in just those amounts.

  • With sexuality I believed there was so much danger and so much sweetness it was difficult to even talk about (kind of like food and eating)….now it’s a conversation I love and an adventure to investigate, without shame.

  • With parenting I had the deepest fears of inadequacy, anger at the chaos, rage at my children opposing me, terror of my children getting hurt or dying….now I see my experience of parenting is one of most amazing teachings of surrender, love, letting go, and setting others free to live their own lives.

  • With cancer, pain and death I choked up with fear, wondered why this planet had so much and seemed so crazy, hated that my father died so young….now I have my father’s voice with me every day (he is not dead), I had cancer and it brought strange and unexpected gifts, pain is always staying only very briefly, and although the planet still seems beyond comprehension, it is wondrous to behold.
I have a private practice in Seattle, Washington and I work with people individually, in teleclasses, and live workshops from all over the world in-person and via skype and phone.
