Free Live Weekly Sessions with Rajaa

If you like some interaction with the teacher and the mindfulness community, you can join Rajaa in her weekly live (online) session every Wednesday at 12 PM EST. The session is a forum for discussion after a live guided mindfulness meditation.

Who is this training for?

  • Anyone on a healing journey who has struggled with food, body image, and self-esteem for years and is ready to break the cycle and live with confidence.
  • Health-care professionals (dietitians, nutritionists, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers) who recognize the power of mindfulness-based practices and are interested in learning about using such practice to guide patients towards long-lasting health.
  • Wellness professionals interested in incorporating these practices into their repertoire of offerings to support clients.

To know if this program can help you with your healing journey, check the below questions:

  • Do you feel you donā€™t have self-control around food?
  • Are there certain foods that once you take a bite you cannot stop eating?
  • Do you tell yourself that you will have only one bite then end up eating the whole piece or bag, and then feel guilty and promise yourself that this would be the last time?
  • Do you feel anxious when invited to dinner because you have been “good” during the week and you are afraid that you will blow all the hard work during this dinner?
  • Do you restrict your calorie intake during the week so that you can binge on the weekends?
  • Do you fast all day on the days you are going out for dinner, so that you can eat freely in the evening?
  • Do you spend a lot of time and energy obsessing about what, when, and how much to eat, what size your body should be and should look, how much you should weigh, what clothes make you look slimmer?
  • Do you weigh yourself multiple times a day?
  • Do you feel uncomfortable with your natural body shape, or resentment towards certain body parts or you wish them to look different?
  • Do you post on social media the photos with the angles that make you look thinner? Or even photoshop them?
  • Do you eat as a response to certain emotions like boredom, loneliness, anger, sadness, fear..etc?
  • Do you eliminate entire food groups like carbs, fats, sugar, dessert and then end up overeating them at some point?
  • When you eat a certain type of food that you think you shouldnā€™t be eating, do you promise yourself every time that this will be the last time so you end up finishing the whole pack, pint or box?
  • Do you categorize food as good foods and bad foods, and beat yourself up when you eat from the bad food category?
  • Do you feel guilt and shame after you overeat or after eating a type of food that you think you shouldnā€™t be eating?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of the above questions, then this course can for sure help you.

By completing this program you will…

  • Master the art of moderation, so that you can enjoy few bites of your favorite dessert and feel satisfied with few chips or crackers for a snack.
  • Attend big holiday dinners without anxiety, and you can go to parties and buffets where multiple delicious foods are there, while feeling a sense of freedom that comes from knowing that you have mastered the skills of mindful eating and that you’re not going to overdo it, it comes from trusting that you can eat smaller portions from any food that you like and yet feel more satisfied.
  • Lose weight if thatā€™s your intention and maintain it without feeling deprived and without missing out on everything you love about eating.
  • Stop obsessing about food and weight and free more time and energy to other important areas of your life.

Relieve Stress & Anxiety

Stress, anxiety, and depression are growing all over the world and most of the time people use coping strategies that do not support their mental and physical health. Obsessing about what to eat, what not to eat, how much to eat, how much one should weigh and what to wear are common causes for stress, anxiety and depression in todayā€™s society. This takes up a ton of energy which can be dedicated to other, more important aspects in oneā€™s life. By reclaiming this energy, itā€™s possible to make life more meaningful, purposeful, and joyful.Ā Ā 

This program will teach you healthy strategies to manage mood disorders through the skills of practicing mindfulness meditation.Ā 

It will help you restore your relationship with food so you can enjoy it without the feelings of guilt and shame. Youā€™ll learn to approach your experiences with food and eating with the attitudes of non-judgment, compassion, kindness, patience, acceptance and open heart. Youā€™ll free more space and energy for the things that truly matter to you so that you can live a life that is fulfilled, satisfied and emotionally balanced.Ā
