When I am working with someone about her relationship to food, I am constantly struck with how little her food obsession has to do with food. No matter how urgent the eating problem seems -- I've been bingeing for three straight weeks, I've gained thirty pounds in the last ten days, I have diabetes and can't stop eating sugar -- within five minutes of conversation, the issue is no longer about food and almost completely about what she believes is possible from this life she is living."   - Geneen Roth

THE BODY CONSCIOUS: Living the Only Life You Have
Body Conscious If you miss living in your body, you miss living your life. By paying attention to the one constant in our lives, the thing that's always been with us no matter what -- our bodies -- we learn to be at home within ourselves. This CD is designed to be used in the morning, when you first wake up, and at night, before you go to sleep as a way to remember and be present for the treasure that you call your life. Beautifully scored by Kit Walker.
THE DEEPEST HUNGER OF ALL: Emotional Eating and Spirituality
Deepest Hunger In this live lecture, Geneen eloquently and compassionately addresses the underlying causes of emotional eating patterns -- and the process of turning what many of us consider to be our worst problem into our greatest opening. Since the way we eat is the way we live, what we do with food is an opportunity to wake up to the entire rest of our lives. How we deprive ourselves, how we give to ourselves, whether we allow ourselves to receive pleasure, joy, happiness. This CD presents the path of healing and radical transformation that emotional eating provides.

WHAT TO DO IN THE MIDDLE OF A BINGE: Guidance When You Need It Most
What to Do Binges are frantic, fierce times. We feel as if we are possessed, overtaken, and helpless to do anything about the wild energy that wants to consume everything in sight. In this CD, Geneen infuses compassion and kindness -- qualities of which, when bingeing, we are in short supply -- into the very heart of our compulsion to eat when we are not hungry. Music for this CD was composed by Grammy award-winner Kit Walker to lovingly support your inquiry. Geneen's voice brings invaluable and compassionate guidance to the times you feel most despairing and alone.

This album is a presentation of a full length Breaking Free Workshop, complete with visualizations, questions and answers, and discussions of the principles of Breaking Free. It will help you:

* enjoy food so that it becomes a source of pleasure rather than anxiety
* assess the difference between your physical and emotional hungers
* learn to say "no" instead of wear "no"
* begin to listen to, and respect, your body's hunger and fullness signals
* distinguish forbidden foods from those you truly want
* discover what brings you pleasure besides food

WHEN FOOD IS LOVE Video Series
Available in DVD format
When Food is Love

When Food is Love consists of three one-hour programs dealing with the issues of overeating, compulsive eating, dieting, and the power and time food consumes in many lives. Geneen is an internationally renowned speaker, author of four best-selling books, and founder of the Breaking Free Workshops which she has led for over-twenty years. The process of Breaking Free offers viewers hope that "ending the obsession with food is absolutely possible". Breaking Free is about recognizing that food is not the problem, nor is eating necessarily self-destructive. This process is about acknowledging the ways food is used enabling viewers to release themselves from the continual and sometimes overpowering preoccupation with food. This series of programs is about realizing the power of one's potential when food no longer is an obsession.

In When Food is Love, Geneen aids viewers in discovering the unspoken motivations lying at the root of weight problems. This program offers guidance in learning to nurture oneself in ways other than with food. When Food is Love, demonstrates methods for accepting and forgiving oneself for what was previously considered "self-destructive" eating. Viewers will gain a sense of satisfaction in listening to their bodies and providing for its needs. They will develop trust in their ability to care for themselves. Geneen has a powerful message to share with anyone who has ever struggled with a weight problem or negative body image. With increasing awareness of health in our society today, she brings an inspiring message of "diets don't work-self love and acceptance does."

At several points throughout the program, individuals share their pain with the issue of food. Some shared their stories at the event with Geneen, others were interviewed the following day. As viewers watch the program unfold, the power and influence our culture associates with food becomes clearer. As the program progresses there is a comforting message of love and self-acceptance. For many people who have struggled with this issue throughout their lives, this may be the first time they hear information about food that will make sense.

Part 1: Looking at the role food plays in your life.
In Part One, Geneen discusses the problem of overeating and dieting. The fact that "the average model today weighs twenty-three percent less than the average woman", is just one of the astounding bits of information she shares with viewers in an attempt to correct distorted views of eating, dieting and body image. Part One addresses the way viewers look at and deal with food through overeating and the diet-binge cycle. Geneen demonstrates that food isn't the issue. She explains how culture defines the emotions used in viewing our bodies and the way we use food to nurture ourselves.

Part 2: Steps to changing your relationship with food.
In Part Two, Geneen aids viewers in an in depth examination of the principles of Breaking Free. Through her eating principles and practices, Geneen guides the viewer in developing a sane outlook on food and an understanding of its power in their lives. From eating in the car to eating at the refrigerator, she shows viewers how to nurture rather than deprive themselves.

Part 3: Daily Living Practices
In conclusion, Geneen shares with us how to integrate her authentic living practices in everyday life. Through the experience of the Breaking Free process, viewers learn how to use valuable tools enabling them to live happier, healthier and more productive lives. The stories shared by Geneen and others are touching, emotional and filled with hope. Price: $60.00 - 3-DVDs Videos
