Another dive into the spirit, and our connection with ourselves.
Our relationship with food, and the way we eat, mirrors our feelings about love, anger, fear, meaning and God. I felt in many places that one could substitute food with any addiction - be it alcohol, drugs, or sex. The way we eat, when we eat, how we eat, what we eat, how we live with food in our lives, all say something about how we feel about ourselves.
Roth shares many stories from the workshops that she runs - all in all, I found many stories I could relate to, from my earlier years on earth - my struggles with accepting myself, or feeling accepted by others - my need to please others - I felt I could rewind my life film, and see how I acted about my insecurities through how I chose to eat.
When we learn the root cause of our behaviors, when we learn to express our feelings and what is happening for us emotionally, and when we learn to accept ourselves and these feelings, this gets us to the core of why we do what we do.
If you are on a journey into your spirit, I recommend you add this to your reading list.
