Food Energywork Tech - Empathic Scanning
Find yourself impulse eating when you feel stressed, lonesome or bored?
Relying on those sweets to make you "feel better"? How long does that last?
This is a common problem, especially for people who are natural Psychic Empaths.
Empath? What this means is that you receive information about people, places, things, and events without any verbal or visual cues, by "feeling" them or "just knowing."
Sound familiar?
I am one. And if you're reading this, you probably are, too.
I grew up believing it was a curse, overwhelmed by others' emotions, thoughts, physical pains - it got to the point several times when I completely lost my identity in the people around me. I was depressed, scared, avoiding people and crowded places. I felt like an outcast imprisoned in my own body...
Know this: Being an Empath is actually a gift from Spirit (that we can all access) as it is the next level in the evolution of our ability to communicate as a species. #BK2YS
Here's where food comes in: I'd like to share a different perspective on how you, right now, have everything you need to turn the tide on your cravings - by honing your Empathic skill.
Last week we covered how stuffing your emotions with sweets is a symptom of spiritual imbalance, and how every time you eat, you do a form of energywork on your body.
So, if you are doing energywork, you might as well sharpen the saw with one surprisingly simple technique I call Empathic Scanning.
Performing Empathic Scanning
Print out or pull up two pictures, one of junk / fast food, and one of raw fruits and vegetables. Then do the following:
- Look at one of the pictures, and hold your right hand over it.
- Then close your eyes.
- With your eyes closed, feel/imagine what it would feel AFTER have eaten that food. FEELING THE AFTER IS THE KEY! Concentrate on sensations AFTER ingesting the food.
- Notice the sensations in your body (good, bad, neutral, salivating, bloating, energized, tired, light, heavy, etc.) Optional: Write your sensations down on a piece of paper to keep a record.
- Repeat for the other picture
Did you feel that?
Did you notice that there's a difference between initially seeing the image of the food, and how it feels after you've eaten it?
And also, did you feel how some pictures made you feel energized or even lighter, whereas other pictures made you feel tired or even bloated or ill?
This is one of the great powers of your Empathic sense - it can tell you ahead of time what the effect on your body will be if you take a certain action, such as eating food.
So, the next time you reach for any food, I encourage you to play with this technique - I personally have used it with great success in transitioning from LOVING meat and cheese to LOVING being Vegan!
I found that whenever I would feel the energy of those foods, I would feel lethargic and bloated - which is how my body actually responds when I do ingest those foods - and used those feelings to help motivate me to stop eating them.
You don't have to go vegan, but you need to listen to your body if are an emotional eater.
Extra Credit: Take this Tech to the Grocery Store and feel it out! You can use this for any decision actually - for example: feel into texting that person you miss versus calling them, and see which one raises your vibration. Go with the one that lifts you up.
Send me an email back, and let me know how it worked - or didn't - for you! 🙂
In Love and Light,
Victoria.
