"I want to speak my truth so loudly that the earth shakes, I break the curse of smallness.." Hitomi, your words are always so powerful and moving. I hope this chapter of your life on that beautiful island grants you the healing you deserve. so much love to you
I've been eating terribly (I turn to unhealthy food in vulnerable, uncertain times) and have gained a little weight in my belly and feel the judgment around it but instead of going into the judgment, I have been sitting with my naked body and adoring it. Breathing into the judgment and being so gentle. It has changed my view on my body so much!! I am also slowly letting go of the control I have around food and finding that the more I let go the more I am turning to treating my body with nourishing foods.
I appreciate how fluid and comfortable you are being vulnerable with your audience. This is a quality I value and admire. I think these discussions should be normalized and welcomed and I love how you use your platform to do so! Please continue sharing your words and shining your light!
your energy is so strong and so healing. i love watching you because i feel at home. i feel like someone understands me, and i can’t thank you enough for that. i know i don’t know you personally, but from these videos, i feel like we have hella in common. i learn so much from you and tips on how to better myself and my life. i have so much gratitude for you, your channel, and just all of your energy.
I realized that I always say to "yes" to people even when I don't really want to hang out or spend my energy with them. It felt as though a "no" from me would be offensive and inconsiderate. That guilt would eat me up and sometimes saying "yes" to others would be me saying "no" to myself. I am constantly gut-checking myself and making sure I say "yes" to myself, first 💕
One moment you said “I can’t wait to be a grandma!” and this touched me in a spiritual level. I feel like lately I can feel more and more the pressure of society of not aging, staying fresh... ( wish is stupid because we are fresh at every moment of our life ). Although I feel like I’m such an old soul, time keeps passing and I’m scared to not be able to embrace my youth, innocence and candid side (the more I get older). But at the same time I can’t wait to turn into an old and wise (and young), fresh soul. Thank you for reminding me to keep embracing all my sides/phases/moments/ ages. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 🧘🏿♂️

@@LHOMMESTATUE Vou dar uma passadinha pra conhecer seu canal! Tenho certeza que você terá MUITO sucesso nessa caminhada. Eu ando procurando conteúdos brasileiros parecidos com da Hitomi, achei seu comentário na hora certa 💚 Muita luz e um ótimo dia pra você também.
When I realize I’m in a binge (sometimes takes me a while) I actually feed that, but in a way that feels nourishing. I cook or bake myself and crazy delicious, usually unhealthy meal and eat it. Whatever is going to feed that current craving. I put on music and dance and make cooking the meal fun and enjoy it either alone or with my partner or friends. I binge but I make the binge nourish my inner child and my relationships if others are included. This nearly always makes the binge end! Feel free to try this if you deal with binging - it might help next time!
im so grateful for hitomi. the moment before she uploaded i felt like everything was falling apart and i gathered myself and tried to be grateful for everything i have and she dropped this video that very moment. i cant express how grateful i am for her💞💕💓

i've been affected by binge eating/bulimia for 6 years now. it has lowered my quality of life so severly, i would even go so far to say that it has ruined my life. no friends, no focus on studying, no hobbies, depression, anxiety, immense guilt, intrusive thoughts, fear of intimacy, body dysmorphia. if you struggle with an ED, please find help as soon as you can, this shit is not worth it, don't loose time you could spend making memories worth remembering.
I'll have you in my heart girly, please don't give up. You got this i swear, i had a eating disorder for about 3 years, with intense body dismorphia,and anxiety,depression too! I know how you feel and take ot from me you can get out. It is never too late. I also had intrusive thoughts for 1-2 months ago it was scary and terrible, REMEMBER YOU GOT THIS YOU CONTROL YOUR LIFE YOU ARE SAFE💚💚💚blessings are on the way.
I JUST got out of a virtual therapy session talking in detail about my binge eating. This video could not have come at a more perfect time. You have such a talent for radiating your energy and influencing others in a way you may never even fully comprehend. Thank you- I claim this advice of yours as something I'm going to adopt.
Alkaline Oil talk to your doctor to see if it’s offered through your hospital! i started therapy in march during the beginning of quarantine, and i literally have never even met with my therapist in person haha
Wow, wow, wow. When you began questioning yourself and said “is that possible? can I just love myself right now?” I really felt that, thanks Hitomi. I appreciate you so much and you have me thinking about my emotional state more recently because I have started binge eating again and I’m still not completely sure why. Thank you for opening up my eyes and heart to try and see what is going on with me and myself❤️ I am healing this.💛
"I am healing this" truly almost cried, I have my first therapy session next week and this video showed me how much I've already healed and how much more I have yet to heal with the help of someone else
When she talked about saying no to men when you don't want to do something, It hit me. It is sad so many women feel like that. It took me a while ( and may unpleasant experiencies) to understand i don't owe anything to anyone . And that my feelings are also valid. I think that is a very important thing to know while being in a relationship.
You’ve legit changed my life in so many ways. Whenever I am slipping into depression or anything I find your channel and find pieces of myself. Thank you for being transparent and sharing a piece of yourself with us. Much love Nuit
i love you, thank you so much for always saying the words that make me want to love myself more and to feel free and good about life, idk how to explain it better, you are just a blessing ☀️🕊🧡
The first 10 seconds of this video has added more value to my day than any other video I've watched in the past few weeks... + I want to speak my truth so loudly that the earth shakes + Why don't we normalize being SO kind to ourselves even if it is cringey and very vulnerable ✨🙏💕😍
That quote "you don't know what you're holding onto until you let it go" really made what I've been going through clear. I was sexually abused in a relationship for a year and a half, it's been two and a half years since we broke up. Only this past weekend did I finally let my feelings of insecurity and unsafeness and the need to protect myself and my body go. I can now go places that used to make me have panic attacks and feel okay. I FINALLY have my sex drive back and I'm getting used to actually thinking about sex and wanting to have it again. I feel confident and sexy and want to show off my body instead of hide it behind baggy clothes. I didn't even know I was insecure or that I was trying to protect my body with clothes. I knew I was hung up on what happened and that was making sex undesirable, but I had no idea it was tied to my self esteem. I think I was afraid to feel sexy and rejected the idea of sexuality when it came to myself because it didn't feel safe, it felt vulnerable and dangerous. Now my poor bf has damage to his junk from doing it too much since Saturday night 😅
Your exploration of what it means to be home hits so deep. It's something I'm just starting to have a breakthrough with, through reading Buddhist sutras and practicing deep breathing. I'm really really happy to say that home is starting to feel like the present moment-- that moment of peace and clarity you get with every deep breath. And it goes hand in hand with self-love, and I'm excited to start showing compassion to the little girl in me who is deeply hurting because I never gave her a chance to acknowledge her trauma. I felt deeply isolated and sad for a long time because nobody, including my mother, had comforted that little child. But now I realise that I have the power to be my own mother and caretaker, which is just... such a life-changing realisation. "Breathing in, I am home. Breathing out, I feel myself being nourished by the present moment." I've been wanting to find a sangha to practice with--- and while that's significantly harder with the virus, your positive energy has helped me to find focus in my own journey. Thank you.
Binge eating is something I am still struggling with!! I'm in ED recovery and I definitely have had many relapses but I keep pushing forward because I reaaally want to get better
@@mayasanchez4014 at the moment it's really hard to see that any progress has been made, but when I look big picture from where I first started, I definitely see it and that motivates me!!!
yesterday was my birthday and I love eating whatever I want on my bday, cuz it is my special day! However I was not being mindful and listening to my stomach, I kept stuffing in food just because I never really let myself do that and it just felt so good. This video helped me realize that I need to forgive myself and not worry about it. Today, I will eat much healthier. Thank you, Hitomi for being so relatable!
Wow, I was thinking today how I’d love to see a video from you. And last night I was looking up how to stop binge eating. I’m now taking a break from my very needed evening walk in nature, finding peace, and getting this notification. This is synchronicity. Thank you.
it sounds like you can be healing generational constructs around the idea of food, it’s a blessing in itself to have safe access to that resource so no need in feeling bad about what you deemed necessary in the moment. but from the shadow work you shared it seems very evident that you’re aware of the root of the issue inside you, you’re not upset with it you’re just holding space to comfortably release it! i feel like i’ve been going through the same thing in other aspects as well lol
"That feels good and safe to not just accept things as they are. But to create my reality as I would like to feel and exist in this hueman manifestation that I am." This deeply resonates with me.
I've been struggling with binge eating for years and being in quarantine definitely didn't help. I appreciate your words and your relationship with yourself and food. I would like to continue to grow and slowly become more comfortable with myself
Thank you so much for this. I’ve also been struggling with binge eating for the last 10 years and this video made me realize the place it was coming from. As a womxn of color and mostly all of my placements in water, I’ve always had trouble with setting boundaries and pleasing other people (specifically men.) So thank you so much Hitomi for shining light on this, you’ve always been such an inspiration
I’m having a hard time right now excepting happiness. I think that I am so trained to be unhappy that even when I have happiness I don’t know what to do with it besides destroy it in some form or fashion. I’ve been making a lot more art recently though so I think that that’s helping. Anyways just some thing that’s on my mind thank you for always expressing yourself towards me it makes me feel like I can express myself to myself if that makes sense
i can’t help but agree with you when you speak your truths about creating your own reality and how these things that seem like “coincidences” aren’t accidental and they’re really there to give us signs and teach us about this life and ourselves. so much love and healing power to you♥️♥️♥️
I've been trying to overcome binge eating for almost a year now and in quarantine I definetely felt like I was falling apart. But I reminded myself that every single thing happens for a reason, and this habit of mine has taught me soo much about myself. I realized that I wasn't even living my own reality because I was so obsessed on other people's thoughts. It was soo consuming and I still struggle with binge eating but I feel like that I'm more in control now. And that's when I started my spiritual journey... Thank you sooo much girl, for sending positive energy to the world. I literally felt it coming through the screen. This video will be my guidance in my journey. Bless you. 🙏🏻💞
thank you hitomi. i wrote in my journal today, just before watching this video, all about my "binge relapses" that have been occurring lately. What i've also found is that the issue feels like food, but food is so far from the problem. its our inability to be in the present and face what healing needs to occur is what needs attention. food is just what some of us, particularly woman, seem to gravitate toward for coping. consuming massive amount of food at once is the most perfect as well as destructive momentary distraction and relief. you bring me so much hope and peace. thank you, i cherish you.
I love you so much hitomi! You have no idea how much you’ve helped me heal myself just by being yourself! Thank you for taking the time to record these moments.
this was so healing to listen to. realizing that you don't have to do something you don't want to do, and that that's valid... and not feeling stuck or trapped.... really spoke to me
Thank you so much for this hitomi. My friend passed away last mouth and I’m dealing with binge eating. Hear you sharing your experiences always make me growth at these 4 years that I’ve watched you. You are so strong that inspire me to fight against my borderline disorder. Thank you. You made a big increase in my health standards. I always be grateful to met your channel. Kisses from brazil.
I promised to myself that I won’t feel guilty for saying no thank you for motivating me. Watching 2 years old Hitomi is just as calming as watching your recent videos. You’ve made me so much better, it’s all because of you that i feel so confident now. Thanks for being an elder sister. Anddd I’ve been watching you for over an year and today is when i found out YOU ARE SCORPIO TOO💞💞
i normally don't leave comments on vids but this resonate with my current experience during quarantine that i started tearing up; the immense amount of past traumas, emotions and my own binge eating issues getting drudged up is crazy. I'm just now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with my personal and profound healing, and hearing you talk about your breakthroughs was really heart warming.
when you began talking about guilt and men I literally lit up, knowing someone so beautiful nd peaceful to me is having the same realizations I am at this time
LOVE! I've struggled with binge eating for my entire adolescence and up until this point, it shows up sometimes. I've come to the realization that it might never go away and I am grateful for this warning system, because it immediately shows me when I am not feeling safe, taken care of or when I'm just extremely stressed. I utilize it to guide me and take action right away to work on those inner issues. Then the binging also disappears naturally.
Hitomi your videos lately have really made a difference in how I treat myself and my relationship with food, like i'm going through some positive changes so yeah thank you for sharing your experiences
I just want to say that I revisit this video everytime I binge eat to remind myself that I need to listen to my body and make space for healing and it is SO helpful to my recovery
Eating much larger food than usual, and isolating myself has usually been a way for me to “stop time”, avoid problems and wait things out for far too long. Food often became a safety blanket for me, where I could hide away from uncomfortable situations, confrontations, stress etc. The way you described your binging was so eye opening, as I could recognise myself and realise that it’s really not about the food itself 🙌
I see so much of myself in you and that makes me proud -- I love seeing young femmes being strong and creative and smart and healing through life. Sometimes I feel silly or hide this spiritual deep side of myself and don't speak my truths.... this has inspired me be loud with my truths & struggles and the beautiful way that I am learning to grow and live with them.
i resonated with sooo much of this! especially those around guilt, safety, and boundaries. i was feeling discouraged about my healing before the full moon, and it really feels like something shifted after that. thank you for sharing so much of your healing with us. beautiful shifts are happening!
I needed/need this video so much. I've been trying to lose weight for about 9 months now and lost 40 pounds. I was so proud and noticed a difference spiritually, physically and mentally but started to binge eat. I gain all that weight back within a month and a half, which might sound impossible to some but is true... it's a really bad habit.
This. I've been struggling with binging too, and I also find it's when I feel unsafe in a money sense, when money is low, I'm scared for my next meal so I binge. Thank you for sharing your struggle, makes the rest of us not feel alone ♥
You have no idea how helpful this video was for me :) I just cut off my mom again and when you said "you were supposed to keep me safe and you didnt" I've felt that my whole life with her because she's never given me the nurturing I've needed but now I can learn to give it to myself :) ughh such good stuff
I binge eat a lot. Watching this and listening to you talking about it made me tear up - we all need to be more compassionate with ourselves. The self-loathing after binge eating is so toxic and might be more toxic than the actual binge eating. Thank you so much for this :)
Thanks for sharing your experiences! I feel like I've grown alongside you throughout the years (I started watching your channel when I was not in a great place and saw a lot of my struggles and feelings reflected in you). I'm glad we've both been able to evolve and heal 💗
I relate to this so much. My mom and I are both Scorpios too and I also have been having very similar realizations myself! :) This time in quarantine has allowed me to really spend time alone, which I had been semi-consciously yearning for, for a long time. Of course this only happened because I was blessed to end up in a very stable situation, which I am not taking for granted at all. I've reached such a new level of peace with myself and every day it feels like more weight is lifting off of my shoulders. Much love to ya
i have just found your channel and i just want to thank you so much for your openness. You are so soft and accepting and I hope you are always able to speak your truth. Your channel has definitely been put in my path by the universe.
okay the part in which you talk about feeling guilty is so recognizable, feeling guilty is one of the most horrible things and I love learning from you how you deal with it✨this does me so well 💚
I do that HAIR thing aaaaall the time, but I've realized that if you wait until your hair is COMPLETELY dry before you take it out, the curls will be so much more DEFINED! The thing is that it doesn't really dry that well in fabric for some reason, so only wet it a very little when you twist it!
I struggle with just getting myself to begin healing practices like yoga and exercise and meditation and I consider watching these videos as an act of self love/care. I feel like just listening to you teaches me about myself and where to go next :) thank you!!!!! sweet soul princess uhg
you give me so much hope. i’ve run into so many roadblocks in my healing journey because of anxiety and stress. it often makes me feel like i’m not real and i overthink everything. i’m 17 and really starting on my spiritual path, you have helped me so much. i’ve lived with an eating disorder for over 6 years and i’ve been vegetarian for over 5 years and it’s helped me heal a lot, i feel so stuck in my mind and i don’t know where to go. i’m trying so hard not to relapse especially with covid and being trapped at home, it’s really difficult. i’ve overcome a lot with my mental health and ED, i want to go vegan and get a nice yoga / exercise routine. i can visualize how my self love and life can be and it give me a lot of peace.
It makes so much sense you are a scorpio. as a scorpio, scorpios really help you bring out all the skeletons in the closet and help you heal by bringing discomfort to help you figure out what you need to work on and with that you begin to heal. that's why so many people dislike scorpio because not everyone can handle the heat and wants to deal with that. hitomi tank you for your videos.
Hi Hitomi Thank you for this video stating your friends hold space for you is a blessing. This video was healing for me😌. Today I had a Therapy session and Usually were just in the stage of building me up from depression. But Today I went into my childhood unexpectedly. it was painful around being a "messy" person I just saw visions of myself always not knowing what to do. Paper everywhere I was always loosing and dropping things .Would run up and down the stairs 20 times just to finally leave the house and forget stuff. Sometimes I would walk up and down aimless for hours always in freeze mode. My therapist said I should hug my inner child as children were supposed to be messy. Writing this I break down and cry . I have learnt to be productive over the years , serminars books. Even with techniques and strategies underneath the surface still a mess. Still trying to piece together my life, by trying to go with the flow and be present. what came up for me after I sat down to Journal was " just trying to fix this mess of a person not my life.my life has been a mess because of who I am" This was heavy on my heart. 🥺.
One of the best things about my journey, is that for me even the downs feel like ups specifically because of what you stated. It just means there's more for me to learn and grow out of and into. The journey of life is so beautiful.
i love you so much !!!! i’ve been struggling with binging this past week and couldn’t bring myself to watch this but today i was ready and i’m feeling so good and secure and have a deeper understanding for myself, thank you
thank you for talking about your issues with food that stem from over eating rather than under. i feel like society tends to romanticize anorexia and under eating issues but doesn't give women the space to talk about the other side of complicated relationships with food. also i have acne scarring and it comforts me to know that one of the most beautiful girls ive ever seen has dealt with the same thing and feels the same insecurity with skin that i do, so thank you hitomi
This.. wow I really do love the way you reflect on binge eating and life, and the way you said "I want to speak my truth so loudly that the earth shakes " I reaaaally felt that
you are so powerful and inspiring in a way that i can't even describe in words. you have this energy and capacity that brings me confort and birth. thank you hitomi.
wow this is the video I needed to watch. I binge eat when I feel out of control and I knew this, but something about this video helped me become even more aware of it. Just the idea of being able to reclaim control and to remind myself that I can have power over myself is so healing. I studied nutrition in college and lived with other nutrition majors and I felt so much shame and guilt when I would binge eat in my room with the door locked- just bags and bags of chips. Love listening to you, your story telling is so healing.
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate you being so honest and able to talk about those things. I've been going through a lot recently myself not knowing what to do about it and the things you said truly gave me motivation and hope. To see the positive things and to keep going and not giving up. Thanks a lot!
i have been dealing with my eating disorder lately too, i totally get what you're feeling, specially on feeling like you can't control it, and we truly can't, and this is hard for me to deal (not controlling everything) and all we have to do is be kind to ourselves and respond with positivity, to break the toxic energy this gives as always your video and your amazing personality is a breeze of fresh air in my day, i love you be safe, you're truly incredible 💖 im sending a lot of good energies towards you from brazil 💖🇧🇷
Ahhh your words in this video are everything! i have so much love and respect for your beautiful being Hitomi. When I hear your words I wittness so much of myself in them. I have also struggled with my relationship towards food for a huge portion of my life. My healing journey also began once I started to recognize that I can nourish and take care of myself. That I can let the little girl inside of me know its okay and that I can help her. Thank you for speaking your truth.
THANK YOU. Thank you. Binging today after years of struggling and (i thought) figuring it out ... Your words resonate so deeply and I feel really guided by what you mention you’ve done for yourself. I love to watch your videos while I work out or do yoga 🧡🧡
i'm taking this time and this year to work on myself and truly heal from things i did not even know i needed healing from and this video has been very comforting
Thanks to the space you created, I was able to feel safe, I could feel that my fears (especially those about men) were valid...I felt protected, thank you very much for your kindness and love that you transmit to us through your videos 💚💚💚
Imagine if Hitomi made a podcast tho...
she has a great appppp!!!

I'd actually listen to podcasts
@Mark Weller meditations and all that stuff, but it's only on apple store
She has one episode on SoundCloud!!!

The comment section of your videos are like sacred feminine circles. I’m addicted!
One moment you said “I can’t wait to be a grandma!” and this touched me in a spiritual level. I feel like lately I can feel more and more the pressure of society of not aging, staying fresh... ( wish is stupid because we are fresh at every moment of our life ).
Although I feel like I’m such an old soul, time keeps passing and I’m scared to not be able to embrace my youth, innocence and candid side (the more I get older).
But at the same time I can’t wait to turn into an old and wise (and young), fresh soul. Thank you for reminding me to keep embracing all my sides/phases/moments/ ages.

i've been affected by binge eating/bulimia for 6 years now. it has lowered my quality of life so severly, i would even go so far to say that it has ruined my life. no friends, no focus on studying, no hobbies, depression, anxiety, immense guilt, intrusive thoughts, fear of intimacy, body dysmorphia. if you struggle with an ED, please find help as soon as you can, this shit is not worth it, don't loose time you could spend making memories worth remembering.

You’ve legit changed my life in so many ways. Whenever I am slipping into depression or anything I find your channel and find pieces of myself. Thank you for being transparent and sharing a piece of yourself with us. Much love Nuit
Take care of yourself 🦋🌿 things will be alright soon. Binging is hard but time will heal.
i love you, thank you so much for always saying the words that make me want to love myself more and to feel free and good about life, idk how to explain it better, you are just a blessing ☀️🕊🧡
Thank you for radiating so much love n kindness in ur vids💗✨love u
The first 10 seconds of this video has added more value to my day than any other video I've watched in the past few weeks...
+ I want to speak my truth so loudly that the earth shakes
+ Why don't we normalize being SO kind to ourselves even if it is cringey and very vulnerable
✨🙏💕😍
That quote "you don't know what you're holding onto until you let it go" really made what I've been going through clear. I was sexually abused in a relationship for a year and a half, it's been two and a half years since we broke up. Only this past weekend did I finally let my feelings of insecurity and unsafeness and the need to protect myself and my body go. I can now go places that used to make me have panic attacks and feel okay. I FINALLY have my sex drive back and I'm getting used to actually thinking about sex and wanting to have it again. I feel confident and sexy and want to show off my body instead of hide it behind baggy clothes. I didn't even know I was insecure or that I was trying to protect my body with clothes. I knew I was hung up on what happened and that was making sex undesirable, but I had no idea it was tied to my self esteem. I think I was afraid to feel sexy and rejected the idea of sexuality when it came to myself because it didn't feel safe, it felt vulnerable and dangerous. Now my poor bf has damage to his junk from doing it too much since Saturday night 😅
Yes girl 💪 I'm really happy for you that you feel empowered now :) that's something we all deserve
Oohhhh this spoke to me.
@@na_marina thank you :') it's been such a long and hard journey and I'm so glad to finally have some real results
@@jaleesah I hope it helped xx
Your exploration of what it means to be home hits so deep. It's something I'm just starting to have a breakthrough with, through reading Buddhist sutras and practicing deep breathing. I'm really really happy to say that home is starting to feel like the present moment-- that moment of peace and clarity you get with every deep breath. And it goes hand in hand with self-love, and I'm excited to start showing compassion to the little girl in me who is deeply hurting because I never gave her a chance to acknowledge her trauma. I felt deeply isolated and sad for a long time because nobody, including my mother, had comforted that little child. But now I realise that I have the power to be my own mother and caretaker, which is just... such a life-changing realisation. "Breathing in, I am home. Breathing out, I feel myself being nourished by the present moment." I've been wanting to find a sangha to practice with--- and while that's significantly harder with the virus, your positive energy has helped me to find focus in my own journey. Thank you.
My inner child and your inner child have a lot in common. Oh the wonderful ways we will heal! 💜
Binge eating is something I am still struggling with!! I'm in ED recovery and I definitely have had many relapses but I keep pushing forward because I reaaally want to get better
Sam Elle that’s good to hear :) and always remember, slow progress is still progress! ✨
@@mayasanchez4014 at the moment it's really hard to see that any progress has been made, but when I look big picture from where I first started, I definitely see it and that motivates me!!!
I was just watching Jen Bretty’s video and you were there and now I find you here !! Sending u love 💕
Hey Sam. Are you still struggling with binge eating?
@@Alex-yw3xw I no longer am!!! I’m binge free!! :)
"Sometimes you don't know what you're holding on to until you let it go..." got me
I read a book called Women,Food and God. Everyone reading this can try that book out! It really helped me
yesterday was my birthday and I love eating whatever I want on my bday, cuz it is my special day! However I was not being mindful and listening to my stomach, I kept stuffing in food just because I never really let myself do that and it just felt so good. This video helped me realize that I need to forgive myself and not worry about it. Today, I will eat much healthier. Thank you, Hitomi for being so relatable!
Wow, I was thinking today how I’d love to see a video from you. And last night I was looking up how to stop binge eating. I’m now taking a break from my very needed evening walk in nature, finding peace, and getting this notification. This is synchronicity. Thank you.
Hey Milena. Are you still struggling with overeating?
@@Alex-yw3xw Yep
it sounds like you can be healing generational constructs around the idea of food, it’s a blessing in itself to have safe access to that resource so no need in feeling bad about what you deemed necessary in the moment. but from the shadow work you shared it seems very evident that you’re aware of the root of the issue inside you, you’re not upset with it you’re just holding space to comfortably release it! i feel like i’ve been going through the same thing in other aspects as well lol
I’ve been having such a rough few months and this almost made me cry :/ thank u so much hitomi for being my safe space ❤️
"That feels good and safe to not just accept things as they are. But to create my reality as I would like to feel and exist in this hueman manifestation that I am."
This deeply resonates with me.
I've been struggling with binge eating for years and being in quarantine definitely didn't help. I appreciate your words and your relationship with yourself and food. I would like to continue to grow and slowly become more comfortable with myself
Hey, are you still struggling with binge eating?
Thank you so much for this. I’ve also been struggling with binge eating for the last 10 years and this video made me realize the place it was coming from. As a womxn of color and mostly all of my placements in water, I’ve always had trouble with setting boundaries and pleasing other people (specifically men.) So thank you so much Hitomi for shining light on this, you’ve always been such an inspiration
I’m having a hard time right now excepting happiness. I think that I am so trained to be unhappy that even when I have happiness I don’t know what to do with it besides destroy it in some form or fashion. I’ve been making a lot more art recently though so I think that that’s helping. Anyways just some thing that’s on my mind thank you for always expressing yourself towards me it makes me feel like I can express myself to myself if that makes sense
i can’t help but agree with you when you speak your truths about creating your own reality and how these things that seem like “coincidences” aren’t accidental and they’re really there to give us signs and teach us about this life and ourselves. so much love and healing power to you♥️♥️♥️
I've been trying to overcome binge eating for almost a year now and in quarantine I definetely felt like I was falling apart. But I reminded myself that every single thing happens for a reason, and this habit of mine has taught me soo much about myself. I realized that I wasn't even living my own reality because I was so obsessed on other people's thoughts. It was soo consuming and I still struggle with binge eating but I feel like that I'm more in control now. And that's when I started my spiritual journey... Thank you sooo much girl, for sending positive energy to the world. I literally felt it coming through the screen. This video will be my guidance in my journey. Bless you. 🙏🏻💞
"I don't have to do anything I don't want to" is so simple yet so profound. I'll be meditating on this for sure! xx
thank you hitomi. i wrote in my journal today, just before watching this video, all about my "binge relapses" that have been occurring lately. What i've also found is that the issue feels like food, but food is so far from the problem. its our inability to be in the present and face what healing needs to occur is what needs attention. food is just what some of us, particularly woman, seem to gravitate toward for coping. consuming massive amount of food at once is the most perfect as well as destructive momentary distraction and relief. you bring me so much hope and peace. thank you, i cherish you.
I love you so much hitomi! You have no idea how much you’ve helped me heal myself just by being yourself! Thank you for taking the time to record these moments.
this was so healing to listen to. realizing that you don't have to do something you don't want to do, and that that's valid... and not feeling stuck or trapped.... really spoke to me
binged for the first in a long time today, and really needed to hear this. sending so much love to everyone who is healing as well
shes seems so chill and genuinely kind
Thank you so much for this hitomi. My friend passed away last mouth and I’m dealing with binge eating. Hear you sharing your experiences always make me growth at these 4 years that I’ve watched you. You are so strong that inspire me to fight against my borderline disorder. Thank you. You made a big increase in my health standards. I always be grateful to met your channel. Kisses from brazil.
I love you, thank you for being here
I promised to myself that I won’t feel guilty for saying no thank you for motivating me. Watching 2 years old Hitomi is just as calming as watching your recent videos. You’ve made me so much better, it’s all because of you that i feel so confident now. Thanks for being an elder sister. Anddd I’ve been watching you for over an year and today is when i found out YOU ARE SCORPIO TOO💞💞
wow, this video for me feels like you are speaking from the bottom of my heart. thank you for sharing.
i normally don't leave comments on vids but this resonate with my current experience during quarantine that i started tearing up; the immense amount of past traumas, emotions and my own binge eating issues getting drudged up is crazy. I'm just now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with my personal and profound healing, and hearing you talk about your breakthroughs was really heart warming.
when you began talking about guilt and men I literally lit up, knowing someone so beautiful nd peaceful to me is having the same realizations I am at this time
LOVE! I've struggled with binge eating for my entire adolescence and up until this point, it shows up sometimes. I've come to the realization that it might never go away and I am grateful for this warning system, because it immediately shows me when I am not feeling safe, taken care of or when I'm just extremely stressed. I utilize it to guide me and take action right away to work on those inner issues. Then the binging also disappears naturally.
I’ve been awakening too. It’s amazing. We are light workers. Thank you for being my light. Welcome to Golden Era, to 5th dimension.
Hitomi your videos lately have really made a difference in how I treat myself and my relationship with food, like i'm going through some positive changes so yeah thank you for sharing your experiences
I just want to say that I revisit this video everytime I binge eat to remind myself that I need to listen to my body and make space for healing and it is SO helpful to my recovery
Saw 333 comments... the moment she said “nothing happens on accident.” Thank you for the reminder. So much love and gratitude. 💜
who could possibly not enjoy listening to her? she speaks with alot of passion and poetry. it’s very easy to just listen.
Eating much larger food than usual, and isolating myself has usually been a way for me to “stop time”, avoid problems and wait things out for far too long. Food often became a safety blanket for me, where I could hide away from uncomfortable situations, confrontations, stress etc. The way you described your binging was so eye opening, as I could recognise myself and realise that it’s really not about the food itself 🙌
your strength and ability to forgive yourself is so moving and inspiring. you are one of the most important woman in this life to look up to.
I see so much of myself in you and that makes me proud -- I love seeing young femmes being strong and creative and smart and healing through life. Sometimes I feel silly or hide this spiritual deep side of myself and don't speak my truths.... this has inspired me be loud with my truths & struggles and the beautiful way that I am learning to grow and live with them.
i resonated with sooo much of this! especially those around guilt, safety, and boundaries. i was feeling discouraged about my healing before the full moon, and it really feels like something shifted after that. thank you for sharing so much of your healing with us. beautiful shifts are happening!
I needed/need this video so much. I've been trying to lose weight for about 9 months now and lost 40 pounds. I was so proud and noticed a difference spiritually, physically and mentally but started to binge eat. I gain all that weight back within a month and a half, which might sound impossible to some but is true... it's a really bad habit.
I am struggling with binging and losing weight. I hear you and feel your pain and struggle. Hoping you will find your way
This. I've been struggling with binging too, and I also find it's when I feel unsafe in a money sense, when money is low, I'm scared for my next meal so I binge. Thank you for sharing your struggle, makes the rest of us not feel alone ♥
You have no idea how helpful this video was for me :) I just cut off my mom again and when you said "you were supposed to keep me safe and you didnt" I've felt that my whole life with her because she's never given me the nurturing I've needed but now I can learn to give it to myself :) ughh such good stuff
I binge eat a lot. Watching this and listening to you talking about it made me tear up - we all need to be more compassionate with ourselves. The self-loathing after binge eating is so toxic and might be more toxic than the actual binge eating. Thank you so much for this :)
Hi, are you still struggling with binge eating?
Loving the sit-down and chat videos
Thanks for sharing your experiences! I feel like I've grown alongside you throughout the years (I started watching your channel when I was not in a great place and saw a lot of my struggles and feelings reflected in you). I'm glad we've both been able to evolve and heal 💗
I relate to this so much. My mom and I are both Scorpios too and I also have been having very similar realizations myself! :) This time in quarantine has allowed me to really spend time alone, which I had been semi-consciously yearning for, for a long time. Of course this only happened because I was blessed to end up in a very stable situation, which I am not taking for granted at all. I've reached such a new level of peace with myself and every day it feels like more weight is lifting off of my shoulders. Much love to ya
i have just found your channel and i just want to thank you so much for your openness. You are so soft and accepting and I hope you are always able to speak your truth. Your channel has definitely been put in my path by the universe.
“We are here to alchemize dense energy into light”...I love that
Your videos always make me feel so calm and peaceful. Thank you so much for making them
okay the part in which you talk about feeling guilty is so recognizable, feeling guilty is one of the most horrible things and I love learning from you how you deal with it✨this does me so well 💚
wow girl!!! your videos really speak to me, especially this one. thank you so much!! I appreciate you. you are making an impact for sure.
I do that HAIR thing aaaaall the time, but I've realized that if you wait until your hair is COMPLETELY dry before you take it out, the curls will be so much more DEFINED! The thing is that it doesn't really dry that well in fabric for some reason, so only wet it a very little when you twist it!
I struggle with just getting myself to begin healing practices like yoga and exercise and meditation and I consider watching these videos as an act of self love/care. I feel like just listening to you teaches me about myself and where to go next :) thank you!!!!! sweet soul princess uhg
you give me so much hope. i’ve run into so many roadblocks in my healing journey because of anxiety and stress. it often makes me feel like i’m not real and i overthink everything. i’m 17 and really starting on my spiritual path, you have helped me so much. i’ve lived with an eating disorder for over 6 years and i’ve been vegetarian for over 5 years and it’s helped me heal a lot, i feel so stuck in my mind and i don’t know where to go. i’m trying so hard not to relapse especially with covid and being trapped at home, it’s really difficult. i’ve overcome a lot with my mental health and ED, i want to go vegan and get a nice yoga / exercise routine. i can visualize how my self love and life can be and it give me a lot of peace.
this video is actually like saving my life right now. thank you so much sister hitomi, thank you so much.
It makes so much sense you are a scorpio. as a scorpio, scorpios really help you bring out all the skeletons in the closet and help you heal by bringing discomfort to help you figure out what you need to work on and with that you begin to heal. that's why so many people dislike scorpio because not everyone can handle the heat and wants to deal with that. hitomi tank you for your videos.
Hi Hitomi
Thank you for this video stating your friends hold space for you is a blessing.
This video was healing for me😌.
Today I had a Therapy session and Usually were just in the stage of building me up from depression. But Today I went into my childhood unexpectedly. it was painful around being a "messy" person I just saw visions of myself always not knowing what to do. Paper everywhere I was always loosing and dropping things .Would run up and down the stairs 20 times just to finally leave the house and forget stuff. Sometimes I would walk up and down aimless for hours always in freeze mode.
My therapist said I should hug my inner child as children were supposed to be messy.
Writing this I break down and cry .
I have learnt to be productive over the years , serminars books.
Even with techniques and strategies underneath the surface still a mess.
Still trying to piece together my life, by trying to go with the flow and be present.
what came up for me after I sat down to Journal was
" just trying to fix this mess of a person not my life.my life has been a mess because of who I am"
This was heavy on my heart. 🥺.
I’m so thankful you have this platform , I’m on my healing and awakening journey & it’s just so good to see your light , a place we can come to ✨
One of the best things about my journey, is that for me even the downs feel like ups specifically because of what you stated. It just means there's more for me to learn and grow out of and into.
The journey of life is so beautiful.
the glasses totally brought me back to younger hitomi w the flower wall and those androgynous/thrifted outfits of the week vids ! what a look hehe :)
E ho'okipa me ke aloha, kaikai'na 🌺🤙 I feel that you're truly in your element there, Hitomi. Here's to me going back home someday.
i love you so much !!!! i’ve been struggling with binging this past week and couldn’t bring myself to watch this but today i was ready and i’m feeling so good and secure and have a deeper understanding for myself, thank you
So happy that you speak about things like that
You are so beautiful and inspiring. My mindset on life has definitely changed for the better thanks to you🦋
your videos are so helpful, so happy I found them. I want to cry
thank you for talking about your issues with food that stem from over eating rather than under. i feel like society tends to romanticize anorexia and under eating issues but doesn't give women the space to talk about the other side of complicated relationships with food. also i have acne scarring and it comforts me to know that one of the most beautiful girls ive ever seen has dealt with the same thing and feels the same insecurity with skin that i do, so thank you hitomi
This.. wow I really do love the way you reflect on binge eating and life, and the way you said "I want to speak my truth so loudly that the earth shakes " I reaaaally felt that
Thank you for showing me the beautiful abundance that is living, the earth and the universe thanks you as well 🙏🏼✨💕
you are so powerful and inspiring in a way that i can't even describe in words. you have this energy and capacity that brings me confort and birth. thank you hitomi.
wow this is the video I needed to watch. I binge eat when I feel out of control and I knew this, but something about this video helped me become even more aware of it. Just the idea of being able to reclaim control and to remind myself that I can have power over myself is so healing.
I studied nutrition in college and lived with other nutrition majors and I felt so much shame and guilt when I would binge eat in my room with the door locked- just bags and bags of chips.
Love listening to you, your story telling is so healing.
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate you being so honest and able to talk about those things. I've been going through a lot recently myself not knowing what to do about it and the things you said truly gave me motivation and hope. To see the positive things and to keep going and not giving up. Thanks a lot!
you always upload at the right time 😌💫
thank you for sharing where your head is at - i feel so seen and understood and supported thru the internet
i have been dealing with my eating disorder lately too, i totally get what you're feeling, specially on feeling like you can't control it, and we truly can't, and this is hard for me to deal (not controlling everything) and all we have to do is be kind to ourselves and respond with positivity, to break the toxic energy this gives
as always your video and your amazing personality is a breeze of fresh air in my day, i love you
be safe, you're truly incredible 💖
im sending a lot of good energies towards you from brazil 💖🇧🇷
Ahhh your words in this video are everything! i have so much love and respect for your beautiful being Hitomi. When I hear your words I wittness so much of myself in them. I have also struggled with my relationship towards food for a huge portion of my life. My healing journey also began once I started to recognize that I can nourish and take care of myself. That I can let the little girl inside of me know its okay and that I can help her. Thank you for speaking your truth.
THANK YOU. Thank you. Binging today after years of struggling and (i thought) figuring it out ... Your words resonate so deeply and I feel really guided by what you mention you’ve done for yourself. I love to watch your videos while I work out or do yoga 🧡🧡
i'm taking this time and this year to work on myself and truly heal from things i did not even know i needed healing from and this video has been very comforting
Thanks to the space you created, I was able to feel safe, I could feel that my fears (especially those about men) were valid...I felt protected, thank you very much for your kindness and love that you transmit to us through your videos 💚💚💚
near tears...i needed this...i was meant to watch this
