When it comes to weight loss we tend to think of it as a problem that needs to be solved, and one that is serious and potentially fraught. What if this was not the case? What if relaxing and relying on the innate wisdom that is within each of us was part of the solution?… The post Q&A 33 – How does relaxation aid weight loss? appeared first on Alexandra Amor.

One of Sharon Crabbe’s most profound insights was that we don’t ever need fixing because we can never be broken. She now applies this understanding in her work with children, adults, and horses and recognizes that our strength often lies in our willingness to be vulnerable.

Traditionally we look at food cravings and the drive to overeat as a problem, something to be fixed and overcome. What if we’ve misunderstood the message cravings are trying to send us? And what if they’re actually trying to help us?

Our state of mind can affect those around us, including our pets.

When we start a new diet or eating plan we often have success for the first few days. Why is that? And why does that success quickly fade away?

Experiencing anxiety and panic attacks can often lead us to do more (and more) to try to manage and control them. Lily Sais found herself in exactly this situation – working with children as a school psychologist while suffering in silence about her own anxiety.

When we don’t understand the nature of Thought, our thinking can (innocently) be fearful, to greater or lesser degrees. This, in turn, causes us to need to comfort and distract ourselves with unwanted habits like overeating. Alternatively, when we learn about the nature of Thought our unwanted habits become unnecessary and fall away. You can… The post Q&A 30 – Is fear making us fat? appeared first on Alexandra Amor.

Even when we’re experiencing stress and overwhelm there’s far less for us to do than we sometimes imagine.

Vivienne… The post What Stress Is Telling Us with Vivienne Edgecombe appeared first on Alexandra Amor.

This is part 2 of our conversation about whether or not relapse is a thing. In part 1 I left out an important part of the discussion, so this episode addresses the idea that when ‘relapses’ happen we can view the feelings we’re having to help us get back on course.

What if we humans are designed so perfectly that every feeling we have comes from a place of love? This is the question that Juliet Fay and I explore during our conversation, as well as looking at control and what it may have to tell us, and much more.

What’s really going on when we ‘fall off the wagon’? When we revert to the behaviour associated with an unwanted habit like overeating should we refer to that as a relapse? Or is it something else? Something less scary, less serious, and more natural. Listen to Part 2 of this episode here.

Coach Chana Studley had a personal and difficult experience with chronic pain after three violent muggings.

Then a friend introduced her to the Three Principles, which explore the role thought plays in our experience of life. That… The post Relief from Chronic Pain with Chana Studley appeared first on Alexandra Amor.

Why do we fail so often at diets? The answer may surprise you: it has to do with what and how much you’re thinking and how diets exacerbate that thinking problem, rather than relieve it.

Mason Suehs used to deal with anxiety and a gnawing sense that he was broken by using drugs. This, of course, led to some poor decisions and eventually to two stints in jail. However during his second period of incarceration he took a class offered by Anna Debenham and the Insight Alliance that pointed towards… The post Finding Freedom in Prison with Mason Suehs appeared first on Alexandra Amor.

When we experience feelings of anxiety and urgency do we need to dig into the past to figure out where they started in order to deal with and resolve them?

So often we believe we have unwanted habits like overeating because of the circumstances of our lives. We innocently believe that we’re trying to escape from old feelings (maybe even trauma) by doing our unwanted habit. What if that’s not the case? What if the only problem lives between our ears?
