"Eat to Love" is an outstanding book for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with themselves, their body and food. The author, Jenna Hollenstein, uses the Six Paramitas of Buddhism to explain how each one can help the reader transform her life.
The two essential components present throughout the book are a meditation practice and the importance of being self-compassionate. I have a meditation practice and enjoyed the author’s reminder of how important it is for self-discovery and self-regulation. The author’s voice is incredibly compassionate which models how the reader can begin being kind to herself. Two fundamental tools in this process, mindfulness and self-compassion, help the reader develop more awareness and resiliency.
The author’s explanation of diet culture and magical thinking is fantastic. It is imperative to understand the cultural messages we receive are destructive to the mind, body, and spirit. These beliefs must be challenged with healthy, empowering mantras that connect our minds and bodies. My wish is that some day ALL women will support each other in learning to love and accept our bodies just as they are.
I loved this book so much, I have it in two versions: paperback and Kindle. I would adore an Audible version and would be thrilled if it is in the works. There is even a free companion workbook to practice skills covered. “Eat to Love” stays with you long after you have finished reading it and one you will find yourself referring to again and again.
There are countless bits of wisdom in this book, but I will leave you with one of my favorites and hope you read the book to discover the others : “Generosity begins with the willingness to recognize and meet our most basic needs of nourishment, water, rest, comfort, pleasure, and intimacy. Without judging or questioning, we are simply “doing what is required”; we sense what are basically good bodies need and to our best to give that to them”. ~Jenna Hollenstein
