Is your struggle with food driving you bananas?! So many of us have a story we feel caught up in. We may feel helpless to repetitive thoughts and behaviors. No matter how long you’ve felt stuck, it’s not permanent and there is relief! Join us to see it differently, find ease and a enjoy a much lighter, friendlier way to relate to food, your body and LIFE itself!

Whether you binge, starve, restrict, obsess, are afraid of food, can’t get enough of food, use food for comfort, use hunger for control, eat junk and want to eat healthy, aren’t listening to your body, eat what’s convenient instead of what you want, can’t find a rhythm…. Whatever it is, our patterns may look different, but there are universal reasons why we get confused about food.

This workshop will focus on food-related patterns, but will shed huge light on ALL the repetitive stories and struggles in your life. What we will cover will benefit ANYONE stuck in a loop! In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll explore:

1. Why you get stuck in your food pattern.
2. What is the essential misunderstanding that it stands on?
3. Why Willpower and Trying the same strategy HARDER doesn’t work.
4. How to wake up from your patterns.

There will also be:
5. Ample opportunity for individual coaching about your specific challenges.
6. Guided meditation at the end to help anchor and integrate the information and insights in this workshop.

If you can’t attend the zoom meeting live, no worries! Everyone who registers/pays for this course will be sent a private YouTube link so that you may watch the recording at any time! Access to the video will also let you use the meditation as many times as you like so that you can re-ground and stay connected to the relief and freedom of the class.

You are MORE than your obsessive focus and repetitive thoughts! We’ll help pop you out of that world for awhile so you can see SO much more option and freedom than you realized was there!

IMPORTANT:

To register: please navigate to my store, choose donations and class fees, then enter $25.00 for this class. One I receive your payment I will email you a zoom link to join us on October 16th at 10:00am! https://christinabrittain.com/store/

Since the day I met Amy I came across Amy and her work I've been so moved, impressed and helped by how she IS in the world.

Amy is so devoted to being curious, to continuously looking and expanding her own world. But she also shares what she discovers in such a friendly, generous and accessible way. I think her own growth and her sharing are just naturally who she is.

I think she's special and I hope you'll check out the podcast and her work in general.

And lots of love and appreciation to YOU all. For allowing me to share with you and for the fact of our togetherness in Life.

Big breath in and out,
Chris

Yay! Posting this to remind myself again - oh yeah! What if it's an experiment and my interest is truly in enjoying my day, rather than "getting it right" or "being productive?" SO much energy wasted on "trying." Bleh. So related to the recent video I posted on "self improvement." Did I say "bleh?" What I meant to say was YAY! Yay for insights that bring freedom and help me/us set down totally made up rules about how we are living!

Inspired by a recent session with a client who realized that her job (LIFE) might become a lot easier and give her more freedom if she treated it as an exper...

Brilliant Change Coach Colleague Rebecca Wagner inspired me to look at how much I do during my day to try and "improve" myself - and what message that is really reinforcing. Rebecca wonders if that might be our original trauma - being told to be other than what we are. I'm feeling that with you, Rebecca! Ps, you can check out Rebecca's work on trauma at Rebeccacanhelpyou.com!

W.H.A.T. I. N.E.E.D. I.S. R.I.G.H.T. H.E.R.E.

Welcome you to your life. No more
Holding yourself apart. You are
Allowed here. To
Thrive and thrum. To move freely in this aliveness.
Invite yourself to every moment.
No barrier to
Earn your way through into
Elusive worthiness and
Deservability. To somehow have access to what others seem to have.

Include Yourself in the
Simple truth that
Reality doesn’t separate its
Infinite
Glory from you. Ever. For any reason. The
Home and wholeness; the love and fullness; the joy is
There inside you. The
Heart of the Universe, the never ending richness of
Existence Itself – You are
Ready to let yourself know that, yes? To
Experience what you thought was “over there.” It’s here. You ARE everything,
offering Itself to Itself. That is the whole dance.
Even when your mind has you convinced you’re a wallflower,
the never ending music pours through your veins, sways your
body, carries your feet….
The rhythm of love spins and twirls in every exquisite, sacred cell.

Love, CB

Thank you to my cousin Anne Barnes for posting this!! YES!

Mic drop!

Hi everyone. Some of you know that my incredibly powerful friend has actually been healing herself from pretty advanced cancer. We around her are in awe. She's a super hero! Her friend Micheline is one of the many other super heroes in the love posse helping Sarah right now. Sarah calls Micheline “Hearth Woman.” You ain’t gonna find a more grounded, strong, stable body and psyche pretty much anywhere. And you certainly can’t outdo Micheline's superpowers as a kitchen witch, heart and hearth tender. Anyway, Micheline commented once that Sarah is making changes on a causal level. The basic, foundational level of vibration. I agree. In my eyes, Sarah is birthing herself into a new paradigm. She is shifting the reality she lives in. Those of us in her circle are all impacted so profoundly. There is an event, a vortex happening in this healing and in the circle of family and friends. I can feel that we are shifting the realities we live in too.

Sarah has talked about the vortex around her. Something big is going on, and Sarah feels that it isn’t about her healing. She said it may LOOK like it’s about her healing, but the way she sees it, LIFE is just doing its business of creation. So many, many people and nuances of detail are involved and swirling around Sarah's healing. Life is moving through us too. Life gathered us together, a natural process of drawing in the right elements. The way nature draws in, draws upon, draws together all the parts of the ecosystem that are needed as it unfolds its usual miracles. The miraculous that happens every single day as a mundane function of the infinitely creative process of LIFE. Of course I see through my lens…. But to me, all of us in the vortex are undergoing our own causal, vibrational, foundational shifts in paradigm.

Of course, I have been on my own journey, my own unfolding. We all are. And I can feel that my own alchemical process had been shifting in a new way before Life enfolded me in the vortex around Sarah. “My” vortex, “Sarah’s” vortex, Life just doing its usual business of creation – it’s all the same thing, looked at from different angles.

Anyway, there has been so much clarity and so many insights in the last month in particular for me. I feel that fundamental shift within me that I will never fully understand. Isn’t that life? A tremendous, unfathomable, endless evolution in each of us – most of which we’ll never even be aware of. Yet change – evolution – keeps living us. And our insights, however plenty and HUGE they may be, are only tiny, tiny inklings of the Infinite Movement of the Power that is moving us. As it animates and evolves EVERYTHING. As it dances itself through us, as us…..

Well, that is a long, existential preamble to share with you that I will be postponing my classes for a bit. I am not even sure what I planned to teach will still make sense after a few more trips around the swirling vortex I am in! Maybe I’ll end up teaching the same classes I had planned!?! Regardless, Life is calling my energy and attention toward this, this…whatever it is I seem to be participating in! I will of course keep you posted. I feel so thankful that you are all here with me, listening, caring..... I feel you. Blessings to each of you in your vortex, connected to THE Infinite movement of Creation Itself. We are always, always in this together. Because there is really only one thing, one Life goin’ on…..

I love you.
Christina
