You are invited to participate in an innovation leading to guaranteed lasting weight loss
Staring May 5th -June 30th “Lose Weight Mindfully” kicks off in Palo Alto, CA

For the past several months I have been reflecting upon the successes of the people who have taken our offering Pounds for Poverty with the intent to incorporate the best in that work and expand the training with the newest insights from the last two years of experience.
What I have realized is that the two factors of Mindfulness and Altruism in Pounds for poverty are not sufficient to guarantee lasting success. They certainly have helped those who have worked with us but there are two additional factors that are critical to the long haul.
I now see that there are four foundations or cornerstones to lasting success.
The first is certainly Mindfulness but I now am aware that altruism is not inclusive enough to touch all those who come to our workshops- I have expanded the palette of tools needed to the full range of kindness- generating actions, thoughts and speaking which include “Loving Kindness” practices like “Metta”; Cultivating Compassion through multiple means and also the practice of donating the money that we would otherwise spend on food and drink that is self-harming to charities fighting hunger like local food banks.
The third cornerstone is also from the traditional training found in Buddhist Psychology- Concentration Practice. Concentration skills train the mind to focus on a single point of attention for extended periods of time as well as to intentionally redirect our attention either to something healthy and wholesome or away from something that is self-defeating or self-harming.
Fourth cornerstone may surprise you- it is Curiosity. The skill of Curiosity manifests in the practice of asking open ended questions, inquiring deeply into a topic or response to more fully understand why we do that or simply in expressing a sincere desire to understand ourselves, others, events or situations.
When you integrate the four cornerstones and gain skill in each the interrelationship between them can also add strength and adaptability to our quest to experience good health and lasting weight loss.
