In this episode our friend Janet helps us explore the process tool we call "The Battering Cycle". We begin talking about Janet's work to lose weight (and so if you're someone who would like to lose weight--or would like to do anything healthy and good and difficult--this is the episode for you) and we end talking about how to lose weight. In the middle, however, we discuss the processes within conditioned mind that cause us to do what we don't want to do, and which create and maintain unhappy ideas about ourselves--and the path of unconditional love and acceptance which will carry us to the place where we can make clear and compassionate choices. Enjoy!
