A big part of the Community for Conscious Living is coming together to create change. Doing the inner work so the change comes from within and inspires us to make a difference outside of ourselves – in our families, our communities and the world.
Our focus for October is on Eating Disorders. This is our CSO – Community Support Opportunity – for this month.
—
In the US alone, over 20 million women suffer from clinically significant eating disorders, and over 10 million men.
Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness -12 times higher than the death rate of ALL causes of death for females 15-24 years old. Without treatment, up to 20% of people with serious eating disorders die.
Aside from “clinically significant” disorders, over-eating, compulsive eating, poor eating habits affect our bodies and our planet in very strong ways. It certainly puts financial support into some evil pockets – organizations who put profits above caring for the planet and the health of the people.
It also gives us signals that tell us how we’re doing in relationship to ourselves and our spirit – how comfortable we are in our own skin, how much we accept and love ourselves, whether we feel safe on the planet, how trusting we are of the Divine.
Our relationships to food and our bodies can be a doorway to some of the deepest healing I’ve witnessed in clients and in myself.
There are so many messages being sent saying you’re not ok if you don’t look this way… It’s so subtle,I don’t think that most of us realize just how serious this issue is. And it’s time we do.
So, this month’s discussions and meditations will focus on relationship with body, food, being comfortable, loving, accepting of ourselves and our bodies as we are. We are okay and worthy of love and respect now – not when we get fixed. We are not broken.
You’re invited to join us Sunday mornings for the Community for Conscious Living weekly message and healing meditation.
Sunday at 10am US Eastern time / 7am US Pacific time
