Mindful and Mindless Eating: Guided Meditations to Become Lighter with Food

"This cd addresses the real issues around weight gain and loss. Instead of counting calories this tape instead addresses the underlying issues. The first of my favorite tracks is a guided meditation which keeps me from eating out of anxiety by lowering my anxiety level. The other favorite track helps me identify if I am truly hungry or do I need something else to nurture myself. This is an extraordinary tape that deals with the reasons underlying women's weight issues. It has worked for me!."

"Eating can become an obsession or a mine field for the failed dieter. With three simple questions, this CD can lead you to come back home to yourself. There are no gimmicks in this CD, just a gentle-loving approach to trusting your body's cues, and deciding what you really want. Robin's gentle guidance comes from years of professional training. That's obvious in the professional level of this CD, both in the choice of music as well as in the superb writing. When I listened for the first time, all my fears, that someone would be telling me to stop eating or to eat only approved foods, began to surface. Each of those fears slowly melted using the many guided meditations on this CD. Together they built greater respect and trust in my own inner wisdom. On one track, Robin covers food obsessions, and the urgency to have food NOW to handle emotional stress. She does this from a place that is relaxing and non-threatening, encouraging the release of pent-up emotions. Each track is its own gift, which can be played over and over as the need arises. I heartily recommend this CD.

"This is a beautifully done CD and well worth getting if you struggle with food issues on any level. Robin's voice is deeply soothing and grounding and she helps you learn to relate to food in a much more healthy way throughout the different tracks on the CD. Robin guides you through various segments aimed at increasing awareness of your relationship with food and moving from mindless (and sometimes frenetic or compulsive) eating to more relaxed, conscious, and nurturing eating. If you feel a drive to eat when stressed or emotionally stirred up, listening to Robin's voice alone can help to center you and reduce the liklihood of needing to turn to food for comfort. She is clearly an expert in understanding food issues and helping people to heal their relationship with food. Several years ago I did some coaching with Robin and she helped me tremendously with my food issues, and other issues that sometimes spilled over into stress-related eating. She is a great coach and has done a wonderful job with this CD. I highly recommend Robin and her work - she is a very genuine, nurturing, and skilled coach and guide!"
