Allowing Myself to be Fed

As I was doing a Whitehawk Transfigurative Movement process around an issue, I heard at the end of the session, "You are All that I Am. Allow yourself to be fed." 

Since it was well past breakfast time and I hadn't eaten, I chose to take a literal approach with this inspiration and prepared and enjoyed breakfast, allowing myself to be fed

Making this choice to the new focus of allowing myself to be fed changed how my physical body now responds to food. It gives my body permission to embrace the food beyond utilizing it for fuel and ending its hunger prompts. 

Allowing myself to be fed is not about being gluten-free, high carb, low carb, calorie counting, or any other current diet mode mechanics. It's about allowing myself to trust my body's precise wisdom when it tells me what it needs in the moment, what to do about it, and how best to benefit from it. It's me communicating with my body, knowing and trusting its wisdom, and then following through on its wisdom. 

Allowing myself to be fed is to trust my body to say "no" when making food choices not healthy for me at that particular time. Allowing myself to be fed engages me at deeper levels of trusting my Inner Wisdom.  When I allow myself to be fed, it feels sacred to me; eating comes to be holy.

When I allow myself to be fed, my only focus becomes enjoying the deliciousness of the food before me and feeling how nourishing it is. It ends the this-is-good-this-is-bad-don't-eat-that-eat-this-syndrome, which was a way that kept me distracted by believing the outside world's "food truths" instead of what my heart held true for me.  

Allowing myself to be fed, is a creative process, my creative process, allowing me to acknowledge a new Truth, allowing me to relinquish old disempowering messages I no longer choose to carry. I've discovered most desserts no longer hold any attraction for me. This eliminates fighting this or that craving (when we have cravings, it's because we are not allowing ourselves to be fed), and other mental and emotional gymnastics we've created around food.

This frees me to experience greater creative ways of indulging in life instead of indulging in    ___________(fill in the blank), thus creating guilt, shame and self-anger. When I allow myself to be fed I in turn have plenty to feed (share with) others

Writing about food was a great metaphor for exploring allowing myself to be fed. Here are a few topics to look at and ask yourself am I allowing myself to be fed: 

·  creative action

·  embracing and delighting in the new

·  close knit relationships

·  fun, playfulness, joy

·  plentiful cash flow

·  productive use of my time

It would be such a pleasure to hear at cristina@poweredbygenius.com how you allow yourself to be fed. 

Happy allowing yourself to be fed.
