Underlying Conditioning

Hi Everyone... in search of freedom from food issues.... YES!

Underlying conditioning, our programming so to speak, that drive us to hurt ourselves in our relationship with food are... ready...

1) Pride

2) Vanity

3) Fear

4) Abandoment

5) Neglect

What Are We Afraid Of ???????... Great Question!

I have found these beliefs to be the main program we all run off of in our moment to moment relationship with ourselves and food based out of our conditioning.

1) THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME...( self centered fear and false pride).

2) I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH... ( false pride.. false vanity, self centered fear)

3) IT'S GOING TO BE BAD. ... ( Self centered fear)

4) IT'S GOING TO HURT... ( self centered fear)

5). I AM GOING TO BE ALONE.. ( Self centered fear abandoment)


These are LIES... They completely destroy all emotional, physical, mental and spiritual experience of Freedom.

Now, fairly easily most of us have some ability to take in these ideas and think Ok all I have to do is not believe the lies. Yet I have found it is easier said or thought than created. By created I mean truly developing an experience of loving all food thoughts and bites of food you put in your mouth. This is the ultimate goal. Loving your relationship with yourself and food and feeling deeply free in that love.

At this time though, when thinking about eating, feelings about what you want to eat and or have eaten or not gotten to eat and or eating food comes chained with the five beliefs listed above....again

1) there is something wrong with me

2). I am not good enough

3) Its going to be bad.

4) its going to hurt.

5) I am going to be alone.


The insidiousness of this programing is so deep that for most of us with food issues it will not lessen without spiritual help. Hence I refer back to the first post. Sitting in stillness is the most efficient and effective action to reprogramming our belief system. AND it is noty effective if we are not physically sober from all alcohol, narcotics and marijuanna. Sitting in stillnes is the action of surrendering... a physical action... and it is my belief we have been given a body to work with and by working with our bodies so follows our mind, emotions and spirit. Then the Fearful, Prideful, Vain, Negelcted, Abandoned bricks can begin to fall apart. As they loosen, Freedom from food issues begins to grow .YEA!!!!!!
