Hi, I’m Kimber Simpkins, author of “Full: How I Learned to Satisfy My Insatiable Hunger and Feed My Soul” (New Harbinger Publications, Apr 2015).

From civil rights lawyer, to mother, to yoga teacher, and now writer, I’ve learned over the years that the most important thing is letting my heart guide me, even when I was unsure of the direction it was headed. Hey heart? None of this looks familiar. Are you sure this is the right way? Shouldn’t we stop and ask for directions?

The heart has its own internal GPS, the inner workings of which are mysterious to me. Instead of asking for directions, my heart will take me to sit for long hours at meditation retreats or lead me to practice yoga poses as the sun sets over a walnut orchard. Once I’m quie

Am I Recovered from My Eating Disorder?

design (18)Dear Kimber,


How do you know if you ARE recovered from an ED [eating disorder]?


It’s hard for me to tell if I’m healthy or not. I eat three significant meals a day, with all the foods and no specific restrictions. I have snacks when I want and work out three times a week. I still weigh less than I probably should and I don’t want to worry about trying to “gain.” My weight is stable so I just lea

“May I see the beauty in others without denigrating my own.”
Kimber Simpkins, Full: How one woman found yoga, eased her inner hunger, and started loving herself

“Choose this life. Choose this body. Say yes to all of it. Say yes to the beauty and the good and the ugly and the difficult. Choose what you have, what you are. Choose this moment. Choose to love and remember. You are full. You are alive.”
Kimber Simpkins, Full: How one woman found yoga, eased her inner hunger, and started loving herself

“What is this food in my head, anyway? Let’s see...it’s green and good for you and so delicious. It’s prepared by angels with love. The minute you bite into it, it’s savory, chewy, nourishing, and whole- some. You feel instantly revitalized. A small, tiny amount, just a few bites, rejuvenates every cell, deepens your breath, clears your mind, heals your wounds, and mends your heart. It’s made from joyous plants that voluntarily separate themselves from their stalks, laying themselves at the feet of the approaching gardener who gathers them. They eagerly offer their vital energies to nourish living spirits. The angels in their chef hats, singing mantras, cook it tenderly to retain all the benefits of the generous plants. It’s barely sweet, barely salty, and contains all the freshness of spring herbs, summer fruit, spreading leaves, and burgeoning seeds. It comes premade in bags or boxes...you just open it up, sit down, and enjoy. It’s a full meal, enough maybe for a whole day, maybe for a week, maybe for your family, maybe for your friends and neighbors. It multiplies like loaves and fishes, in little biodegradable containers that vaporize instantly the moment you finish them, without any greenhouse emissions. Nothing to clean up!”
Kimber Simpkins, Full: How one woman found yoga, eased her inner hunger, and started loving herself

“Crying is one of the highest devotional songs. One who knows crying, knows spiritual practice. If you can cry with a pure heart, nothing else compares to such a prayer. Crying includes all the principles of Yoga.”
Kripalvanandji

“This body needs me to say yes to it, just as it is right now. No more singing that same old jingle of body-shame and dieter's promised lands.”
Kimber Simpkins, Full: How one woman found yoga, eased her inner hunger, and started loving herself

“Choose this life. Choose this body. Say yes to all of it. Say yes to the beauty and the good and the ugly and the difficult. Choose what you have, what you are. Choose this moment. Choose to love and remember. You are full. You are alive.”
