Naomi,
So good to hear from you. I have actually been working with some people long distance with this program. Meeting weekly on the phone and I send the handouts by email.
I have been encouraged to write and maybe some day.
Good to feel your support. This program has helped to transform my own life and I learn so much every time I facilitate someone else. I am always the teacher and the student!
I hope all is well with you,
Jerrol

Nancy,
What a sweet surprise to hear from you. Nice to know we are connected through the CMBM. You are a testament to walking the healing path, to come face to face with your body and life and enter whole heartedly into doing whatever it takes to become and stay healthy.
I look forward to our paths crossing,
You are always in my heart,
Jerrol

Travis,
I know, the listening part is so essential and sometimes we have been so out of touch that we have lost our capacity to listen. For me, so often, it was because I did not want to listen to what was really going on, that I used food to escape. So listening is just like any skill, just has to be practiced. I find it is always helpful to begin with the mindfulness piece, the simple breathing and just being with the body. Food has always been a way to get out of the body, listening is a way to practice being in the body. So just breathing and asking… and being patient. Sometimes the answers come in something you hear, or some feeling in your body or just a knowing. I wonder how you will begin to know how your body communicates with you…then the next piece is acting on what you hear, it is a way of experimenting and then discovering what you find out.
Warmly,
Jerrol

Thank you! This seems like a very wise place to start. Where I have trouble is in, after the asking, the hearing, or receiving the information that is the jewel of the process. I am open to learning how….
