Mind Control is developing the skillset of controlling thinking patterns or allowing thoughts to slow down or even stop altogether.  Meditation is one form of mind control. that allows you to practice the skillset of slowing the cadence of your active thinking. 

Why is meditation helpful for weight loss?

We know that when we intend to stop overeating, what gets in the way are patterns of thinking that create feelings we try to avoid, distract ourselves from, or react to by eating. 

Meditation is a proactive practice that will help you keep those patterns of thinking or feelings from gaining so much momentum that it is hard to refrain from overeating. 

Meditation helps you center internally to a state of being without active thinking. This creates a response in the body that allows your nervous system to return to its home base of safety and a feeling of well-being. 

Mediation creates a path or practice to reaching well-being no matter what is going on in your life. Meditation allows you to hit the pause button on momentum of thinking that you likely have a habit a habit of eating over.  

This pause button of your meditation practice is an access point to a state of well-being. When you know how to access well being no matter what you are thinking, you drive NEW habits of thinking that over time can decrease the habit of overeating. 

When you know how to access relief and well-being, there is no longer a need to overeat to feel better, and that overeating habit can extinguish over time.
