Publisher's Synopsis
Meditation is a practice that helps to connect the mind and body to achieve a sense of calm. People have been meditating for thousands of years as a spiritual practice. Today, many people use meditation to reduce stress and become more aware of their thoughts.
There are many types of meditation, some are based on the use of specific phrases called mantras, others focus on breathing or keeping the mind in the present moment. All of these methods can help you develop a better understanding of yourself, including how your mind and body works.
This increased awareness makes meditation a useful tool for better understanding your eating habits, which could result in weight loss.
Weight loss isn't a linear event over time. When you cut calories, you may drop weight for the first few weeks, for example, and then something changes. You eat the same number of calories but you lose less weight or no weight at all. That's because when you lose weight, you're losing water and lean tissue as well as fat, your metabolism slows, and your body changes in other ways. So, in order to continue dropping weight each week, you need to continue cutting calories.
If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Sounds easy, right? Then why is losing weight so hard? As simple as this process sounds, it is one of the most difficult things to do because the average individual is used to eating a lot more food than required in unbalanced proportions and tailoring the appetite to this specification might be a herculean task. When it comes down to it, the things we know to be true about weight loss are relatively simple, and certainly few.
The quest for weight loss is not an entirely physical struggle; it goes beyond eating less and running more. When you put into account the emotional reactivity, anxiety, addictive eating habits, low self-esteem, sleep deprivation, etc., you'd realize that weight gain is more complicated than it seems.
Guided meditation, along with other mindfulness techniques, has been used to achieve long-term weight loss. Its methods are straightforward, completely natural, and risk-free. It is, however, paramount to be consistent, patient, and optimistic, you will be fine. If you know how you're supposed to eat and exercise to lose weight, but you always fall back into your old habits. Or if you've been able to be good for a while, but haven't seen any results on your body. This means that your mind needs work as well! Because let's be real, the mind and body are linked and they work hand in hand.
Sustainable weight loss only happens when your mind and body are aligned, your belief system must support your health routine. Otherwise you won't be able to maintain it for long that's where guided meditation comes into play. It can help you reprogram your subconscious mind and help you find the willpower you need to make healthy choices. This is simply because barely anything was done about the conditioning of their mind. They only followed a manual, ignoring the language of their own bodies. On the flipside, weight-loss programs that infuse the use of guided meditation along with dieting and exercising have been shown to produce longer lasting results.
