I received the question: How do I get to the point of truly wanting eating peace?

The one asking has to believe they must not want peace, based on the evidence of off-balance eating. They're believing, as we all do sometimes, that peace is not present or available right now. It's coming sometime in the future, I just have to hunt it down. 

"I need to make my wanting be directed to wanting peace....TRULY" (says the mind). 

But what if right in the middle of intense wanting is something important, a natural movement--just like the body needs water, or needs to get up and go to the bathroom? What if our vision of "not wanting" is also a little skewed? 

What if we can be OK with the way we are, right now, and also in the moment of reaching take a close look at what's going on right there when we're looking back at ourselves and deciding "that person wasn't wanting the 'right' thing". 

Is that true?

Grace Bell, Certified Facilitator of The Work since 2007, has a private practice both online and in person, assisting people from all walks of life to identify and question their interpretations around their experience. She has a special love and specific programs for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating. 

As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.
