What does the image of nesting dolls signify?
Nesting dolls are a useful metaphor in two ways. As weight changes, our appearance changes gradually in a fashion similar to nesting dolls – each one the same, yet different. An incomplete set of nesting dolls reveals a longing for wholeness. Peeling off the layers reveals the wholeness of a self reclaimed. The image of nesting dolls also helps us witness how changing weight means more than a changed body — our behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and spirit are also changed and we become whole. As we release the weight and all that it means, the grip of all the complex systems is loosened as we become more of our true self.
