Emotional Eating & Ayurveda

Every food has a feeling state. Learn how to mindfully eat, for how you feel.

We are emotional beings. Sometimes what we need for balance in our heart-mind has nothing to do with the nutritional profile of a food.

Ayurveda, the living science of yoga, supports the digestion of physical, mental, and emotional excess or imbalances. Sometimes this means eating for how you feel. This isn't about unconsciously eating your emotions to numb your emotional pain―this is about making conscious choices to help you feel better in your heart-mind. (And maybe you do choose to eat the ice cream, but let it be a conscious choice―which can in fact cool your anger).  

Ayurveda believes we are all comprised of the 5 elements. It’s basic principle is that like increases like and that opposites balance. For example, if you are experiencing a lot of "light" or electric emotions such as anxiety, fear, stress, overwhelm a nice stew or bowl of roasted roots in curry may be the comfort and grounding you seek. A crunchy, light salad may actually exacerbate your emotions and leave a feeling of disatisfaction.

In this workshop we will discuss the principles of eating Ayurvedically to help us process and bring balance to our emotions. This is a step towards taking the shame out of emotional eating and how it can actually help us.
