Switching on the senses
Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for becoming more present and connected to your body. Through this sensory meditation, you’ll tune into your surroundings and awaken your senses, bringing clarity to how your body feels in the moment. But this practice goes beyond mindfulness—it’s also key to helping you understand your body's true needs, including how you respond to food and hunger.
In today's world, women are often bombarded with diet advice that ignores how their bodies actually feel. By learning to switch on your senses, you can develop a deeper connection to how food makes you feel and respond to hunger cues more intuitively, rather than following restrictive or arbitrary diets.
When we’re truly present and receptive to how we’re feeling—whether we’re stressed, tired, or hungry—we’re better equipped to make decisions that nurture our bodies and embrace a more holistic and balanced approach to health and eating.
The Importance of Being Present
By regularly practicing sensory meditation, you can learn to live more mindfully. This not only helps with emotional well-being but also allows you to develop a more intuitive relationship with food. Instead of relying on external advice about when or what to eat, you’ll be able to trust your body’s signals. When your senses are alrt, you’ll recognise when you're truly hungry, when you're full, and what kinds of food nourish you.
This guided relaxation helps you to tune into your senses and helps to bring your awareness to what is going on inside you, and bring you into harmony with your feelings. This is a 5 minute practice so do make time and find a quiet space to sit or lie down.
