Meditation for weight loss, eating disorders & mindfulness

Published on November 7, 2019 – Last Updated on April 26, 2022

Food is as essential to life as water and breathing. Most of our socialization is either organized around food or, at the very least, food plays a big part in most human gatherings. Meditation for weight loss and eating disorders can help you maintain a healthy eating habit.

Perhaps due to our zeal for eating, obesity and eating disorders both reveal our relationship with food needs quite a bit of awareness and healing.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association, about 10 million people in the United States suffer from both anorexia and bulimia. In addition, millions more binge or have some other variation of an eating disorder. According to the Association, eating disorders have the highest death rate of all mental illnesses, so they should be addressed seriously.

In addition to its nutritional power, food holds a lot of EMOTIONAL energy. And if we lack self-awareness, it’s easy to confuse the longing for a hug or affection with the hope for a slice of cake or a bowl of macaroni and cheese. This is called “comfort eating” or “emotional eating,” and it’s an attempt to feed relational hunger with sweet or high-carb food to satiate, numb, or sedate emotional hunger. 

In these states, food is treated like a companion that can comfort and console when it may seem no one else is showing care. Eating disorders are complicated, and the following audio meditations will help you get to the core of the habits you’ve formed around food and the perceptions you’ve developed around body image.

Manage eating disorders with meditation & mindfulness

• Beat Anorexia meditation -A distorted body image combined with low self-esteem fuels an irrational fear of gaining weight and resistance to eating. Food is not the enemy, of course. However, an anorexic mind needs the truth of that, and that is precisely what our audio meditation delivers.
• Weight loss hypnosis.
• Beat Bulimia meditation- A pattern of binging, followed by purging or vomiting. A pattern of binging, followed by purging or vomiting, is hidden behind great secrecy and shame. These, in turn, become additional burdens on top of the disorder itself.
• Decrease Your Appetite meditation -Tempting food cravings and the desire to overeat or eat past fullness can sabotage even the strongest will. But you can win by managing your appetite from within.
• Eat Slowly meditation – ‘Slow’ is not a popular place for anything these days, but it is the ideal place for eating. Just taking time to chew thoroughly is a great start.
• Stop Emotional Eating – Depression and hunger are not the same things, but sadness often triggers an emotional eater’s appetite.
• Exercise Motivation – Being sedentary is a habit that can be replaced with activity and exercise. Getting the habit started is the challenge, and that’s exactly what this audio meditation does!
• Control Your Sweet Tooth  – Behind cravings for sweet things may be: (1) parasites; and/or (2) addiction to sugar. Either way, health requires you to be in control and regulate your sugar intake.
• Get The Body You Want – Including your subconscious mind in your body’s transformation is one of the most effective steps to ensure you are eating and moving in ways that create a body you will love being in.
• All these meditations can be found in our Mindtastik app.

Mindfulness and meditation can reveal the source of the pain that triggered the eating disorder to begin with. Then, from that root level, you’re able to sort through all the various beliefs and behaviors that made eating problematic. Ultimately, a healthy relationship with food and a healthy image of self is the balanced outlook a meditation practice makes available to you.

The relationship between weight loss and meditation

You need to understand that an eating disorder has its root cause. If you dig deep inside your conscious mind, you will discover the actual reason. Practicing meditation daily to lose weight or get past the eating disorder that keeps you down will help you get more aware & mindful about everything you eat.

Since we cannot live without eating, the weight loss problem or eating disorder cannot be fixed by simply avoiding food. Instead, there has to be a way to overcome it, and meditation & mindfulness is the key.
