That Still Small Voice Within

 The still small voice that is within each and everyone of us is also known as our intuition, our sixth sense, our gut instinct. That sense, that something is intrinsically right or terribly wrong can be a delightful and powerful guiding light in our lives if we let it. People know when they follow their gut and things work out well. People have also experienced not following that whisper and things not going so good. So each and every one of us has had experiences of this, little spoken about, phenomenon.

When I teach people the principles of healing their problems around food and excess weight, one of the first things I give them is the  ''Am I Hungry?'' download / handout sheet. A simple process whereby you ask yourself every time you think about food or eating - Am I Hungry?  Thus you are enabling yourself to become more familiar with your hunger and fullness sensations, and knowing when you are going for food when full. Once aware that you are in fact physically full of food, but still want to, or crave to eat more, you can ask yourself - What feeling is this, what emotion is driving me towards food I do not physically need? Once you have your feeling or emotion you can then ask your self - Given the fact I feel this way what would I like to do now? Now this all important question directs you to your intuition or your ''still small voice within.'' The one that says for example: ''I need to go for a brisk walk to burn off some of this anger or beat the mattress with my fists.'' Another thought may be - ''All this restlessness I am feeling I sure would love to check out the on-line Yoga teach training, or find an energy healing course I like.'' Another emotion that you may have been suppressing by eating when full is your desire to write, or paint, or seek counselling around issues within your marriage. You may feel drawn to move house or change jobs. Any manner of ideas can come from that still small voice, but the idea can comes to you in answer to - Given the fact I feel this way what would I like to do now? (once it is a healthy answer) is the perfect antidote to the eating when full.

Integration

There is something about having healed a situation or trauma that empowers you.  Maybe you suffered from some abuse for example, a tone of voice or a manner that a parent had that triggers you to this day. If your spouse or a shop assistant or friend even, displays this same behaviour it can be very upsetting for you if you have not healed that original culprit. You may drink or overeat to numb the issue and carry on allowing that person to behave that way, you carry on being around that person never calling out that behaviour that may be rude or abusive to whatever degree. Either way you are  stuck in that situation with that person until you heal the original culprit, the parental behaviour that was your first experience or wounding of that kind.  So through giving up eating when full, drink etc and allowing yourself to be fully aware of how that behaviour makes you feel, if you feel it is abusive or rude or overstepping boundaries and even you may be dismissive of it a...

Awareness of the pattern

To give up any addiction successfully you do not have to abstain from the object of your addiction. In other words the first step in giving up any addiction (contrary to popular belief) is not about abstaining from the food when full, the drink or drugs, gambling etc.  The first step in to be AWARE of your pattern of behaviour.  That means you become aware of when the craving kicks in, and you become aware of your thoughts drifting towards indulging in the object of your addiction. You reach out for the glass of wine. You catch yourself arranging to have that cheesecake even though you are physically full. You reach for the cigarette or vape. This awareness then needs to be extended as it were, you need to be aware of how you are doing emotionally at that specific time the craving kicks in. In this awareness of how you feel emotionally comes the  ability to actually find an alternative means of coping with that emotional dilemma other than just suppressing / numbing it wi...

London

 At the end of another London trip I look back at the memories, sights, experiences and teachings with relish: Form the train to Richmond I see a large fox sitting on the sloping embankment staring towards the trains and I think of the ability to adapt to one's surroundings. The wild fox adapting to city life and thriving, after all, it really takes something to be able to live in London rent free. This tame landscape, moulded and shaped by human hand throughout the centuries. Beautiful iconic statues, fountains and buildings on lay lines of great power. Harrods, Fortnam and Mason etc. The lovely Indian family on the bus to Crouch End. The father answering his daughter's questions with kindness and genuine interest. The mother beaming with love for her child. My heart expanded witnessing such parental love. Again they adapted to being parents and devoting time and energy to their offspring. In contrast I moved train carriages when a father on the tube was trying to control his ...
