It makes so much sense. These words ring so true to me. I am looking at the situation I am currently working on, and you're so right. (Why does it feel unnatural when it is our truth?) I will try your experiment and see what comes up for me. Thank you Jane for these wonderful and wise words.

We are programmed to live.....things that we perceive as threats our primitive brain tells us can kill us. Now, that is in the 'fight or flight' state of living. Primarily,we have to live in that state to survive. Otherwise the next bus that barrels toward us is going to kill us...if we don't scoot! However, most of daily living isn't 'fight or flight'. However our brains don't routinely segment what will kill us from what makes us uncomfortable. So "what's wrong with me' is our primitive brain saying, 'watch out'. Our higher level thinking is what we need to substitute - after we get out of harm's way, if in fact, it is real harm. It's helpful for me to know why when 6 people compliment me in a day and one says something unkind why I only remember the hurtful one. I'm staying out of harm's way in my primitive brain by recalling the one difficult person. However, since I am capable of higher thinking, I try to remember the compliments - after my initial response! My body is programmed to live. Isn't that wonderful?! http://www.emotionaleating.com/2011/08/what-is-wrong-with-me/#comment-70 Steve Funke Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:56:25 +0000 http://emotionaleating.com/?p=1852#comment-70 Hey Jane, Good thoughts. I sure don't see anything worn with you. Only what is right with you. Did you get your products yet? I suppose you have, but I would love for you to give me a call when it's good for you. Still doing your retreat this weekend I suppose, eh? I am in Vermont right now and will be heading back Salt Lake city way in a few days for the convention. Wanna come with me?

While I was there, I experienced many different emotions as I visited my childhood home and saw some friends. It was difficult for me as I began to realize in a very tangible way that all of my family members I loved are now gone. It was difficult to visit the cemetery, especially. I took it very slow while I was there, and I let myself feel the full range of emotions. I survived it! My friend Barbara opened her home to me and was a very nurturing influence during the trip. Her home is whimsical, with affirmations painted on the walls to remind visitors of the important things in life. We huddled in her basement filled to the brim with Christmas decorations, Barbie dolls, and all sorts of other interesting things, and just talked and talked. It was very healing, and also scary at times, to face some of my problems so openly. BodyWay sort of feels like that to me as well, and for the first time in my life I feel like I'm ready to tackle my eating issues and the negative foundation upon which they exist. Thank you, Lisa, for the great article, and keep writing!

For years, I have received your emails - remember when they were just texts? I hung on to one in particular, the one about honoring our wounds. I was so moved by it because it so closely described that "lack" I've felt for years. It explained my feelings and why I have them. I always seem to need to know the hows and whys of everything in life - I'm analytical to a fault. I printed it out and tucked it into a binder of information that I keep at my office, and every now and then I have taken it out to read again. I have enjoyed your new presentation format online, and have benefited from your free teleclasses. I decided to finally pay you for all of the wonderful advice and honor YOU for your special work. You have been generous with us, and I can tell that this works means so much to you. We all want to make a difference for someone in life, and I really appreciate your energy and concern for others struggling with eating disorders. I hope that you can help me overcome my lifelong eating problems, and I look forward to working with you and the others you've trained to assist. Your story is inspiring.

Thank you~ http://www.emotionaleating.com/2010/09/3-food-scenarios-the-great-hunger/#comment-65 Diana Allen • Eat to Evolve™ Fri, 19 Nov 2010 23:58:52 +0000 http://alivenessexperience.com/?p=989#comment-65 I love this post so much I'm linking to it on my website! These three scenarios are so common and so misunderstood. Instead of feeling bad about our "weakness" and our perceived need to escape through food, let's get into our bodies and learn to love ourselves! Thank you, Jane, for discovering and sharing so clearly these keys to healing food/body issues and finding the way back to inner peace and joy: our radiant true nature. ❤ http://www.emotionaleating.com/2010/09/3-food-scenarios-the-great-hunger/#comment-64 Mikhaila Stettler Mon, 20 Sep 2010 14:36:05 +0000 http://alivenessexperience.com/?p=989#comment-64 Great article, Jane. I love that you are emphasizing and validating a woman's natural way of being, her instinctive nature. Once women get that's their true power source, where all the energy and juice comes from, they'll gather the courage to return to themselves and refuse to shut down or disconnect anymore. http://www.emotionaleating.com/2010/09/3-food-scenarios-the-great-hunger/#comment-63 How will Satisfying the Great Hunger Help me with my Food? – Aliveness Experience Thu, 16 Sep 2010 21:23:43 +0000 http://alivenessexperience.com/?p=989#comment-63 [...] Food becomes our ally when we disconnect ourselves from the juicy, alive feminine place of love inside of ourselves.
