Book Description
Are you constantly attacked by food thoughts? Do you struggle to stop eating? Do you use food to calm your nerves? Do you feel betrayed by your body? Would like to change your relationship with food? Do you want to stop the never-ending cycle of loosing weight then gaining it back? Would you like to make peace with your body? Overeating is not the source of the problem but rather the consequence of a deep unease. Overeaters use food to soothe discomfort. While many believe that eating less and exercising more is the solution to overeating, there is an increased body of evidence showing that a broader approach is needed. I share my personal story of recovery from food addiction from forty years of overeating. You will understand food addiction and learn how to end your struggle with food. I illustrate my journey towards sustainable weight-loss by sharing the physical, emotional and spiritual transformation involved in addressing unease with life. I hope to inspire you to befriend your body and begin to cultivate connectedness between your mind, body and soul. At a time of deep uncertainty, caring for yourself is the only certainty.

Gifts of the Dark Wood
Author: Rev. Eric Elnes
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426794142
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Have you left the faith you used to have but don’t know what to move toward? When you can’t see the road ahead, do you feel lost and alone? Do you wish you had a group of companions willing to wander with you? Welcome to the Dark Wood. As you journey through the unknown, you may feel tempted, lost, and uncertain. Though commonly feared and avoided, these feelings of uncertainty can be your greatest assets on this journey because it is in uncertainty that we probe, question, and discover. According to the ancients, you don’t need to be a saint or spiritual master to experience profound awakening and live with God’s presence and guidance. You need only to wander. In clear and lucid prose that combines the heart of a mystic, the soul of a poet, and the mind of a biblical scholar, Dr. Eric Elnes demystifies the seven gifts bestowed in the Dark Wood: the gifts of uncertainty, emptiness, being thunderstruck, getting lost, temptation, disappearing, and the gift of misfits. This is a book for anyone who feels awkward in their search for God, anyone who seeks to find holiness amid their holy mess, and anyone who prefers practicality to piety when it comes to finding their place in this world.
