Ever since I can remember, I have had an
issue with my body. I was always concerned about what I looked like and
did many things to control my weight; over-exercising, under eating,
throwing up... the whole myriad of choices a desperate woman has. And
NOTHING I did ever really helped my disgust and body shame. I would
lament and cry and ultimately sooth myself with food, which would make
the situation even worse. It didn't matter what I weighed. I remember
getting on the scale to find that I was the thinnest I had ever been. I
was shocked. I cried and cried, because I was never so unhappy. It was on that day, my illusion was shattered~ being thin DID NOT equal being happy! When I think of the amount of wasted hours I spent worrying & despairing over my body it makes me so sad.
I know that I am not alone. I find that it doesn't matter the shape or size of a women, many of us share this disgust for our bodies. I have been on the road to recovery for years. I have received the help in many forms; Overeaters Anonymous, Therapy and supportive family & friends. The tools that I have found with Reiki and Tantra have shown me to love myself unconditionally! Reiki helped me to slow down and release stress so I didn't overeat and then belittle myself for what I look like. Tantra has helped me tremendously too! I have learned how feeling good in my body and owning my pleasure and sensuality is one of the most beautiful aspects of a woman. I would like to share these tools with you.
Love Your Body Love Yourself is a workshop that I am extremely passionate about. I feel that the Cultural Epidemic of Body Self Hate is out of control. Society has taught women that we aren't worthy of love unless we are a certain size. I say, "BULL *%$&." As women, we need to support each other and appreciate each other in all our beautiful forms.
Please join me to learn Body Loving tools that will change your life forever! Love, Marla |
