Invisible Treats: Poetic Delicacies for the Hungry Heart

By Tameen Faridi

"Invisible Treats: Poetic Delicacies for the Hungry Heart," through prose, poetry, recipes, and artwork, gives voice to Tameen Faridi's cathartic journey with emotional eating, and serves as a field guide with strategies to provide a doorway to self-acceptance grounded in mindful awareness and deep compassion. It will help those readers walking in the dark tunnel of compulsive eating and body dissatisfaction, towards a path of eating equilibrium. It encourages readers to honor and trust their hunger and fullness signals while satisfying their physical, not psychological hunger.By savoring their way out of dysregulated eating, readers will also be inspired to befriend and inhabit their bodies, arriving at a deeper awareness of the shape of both their figures and feelings. Their resolve to escape from the prison of their limiting beliefs to find their voice will be strengthened, while a curiosity as to when and why they use food in times of emotional overwhelm to numb and sooth themselves is fostered.Going beyond the fog of compulsive behaviors, new vistas will be opened onto what the real yearning is underneath, to determine the question of what kind of "nourishment" they are truly seeking.While this reflective compilation has the underlying theme of the author's relationship to food as a metaphor for personal growth, it is also much more than that. Ms. Faridi's musings delve into the wise pronouncements of her children, potent dreams and lessons from mundane activities, as well as from all kinds of teachers including plants and animals.This is also a journey of spiritual unearthing where the author's Sufi lineage compels her to turn her attention to the mystical harmonies singing within her, to become a conduit for the messages that arise. A combination of both tangible and intangible edibles, this collection is infused with the sweet flavors of the invisible world that will illuminate a path to tenderness for all those who crave it. Empowering transformation bridging mind and heart, "Invisible Treats" seeks to elevate all bold souls rising in search of the freedom provided by another kind of sustenance.
