Divide and Conquer Strategy


This is coming straight out of the Unified Mindfulness practice. Something I posted in the some weight loss forums I have been visiting.

Another meditation technique.
This one requires focusing in and labeling 3 different strands of inner sensory activity
“See” will note mental imagery
“Feel” will note emotional body sensations
“Hear” will note mental talk
As sensations arise in these three different categories, note them by mentally saying these labels with a gentle, matter of fact inner voice. If they are really intense, focus on just one category for a little bit: just see, just, feel, or just hear. Dividing them up makes them more manageable and you’re less likely to get overwhelmed. Do this before, after, or even during a meal and it can make the cravings dissolve right away (depending on how much you practice). Let me know what you guys think about this. It works incredibly well for me. Hope it can help others  :-)
