UPDATED - Drop It! And Pick Up Some Love in Your Life


*UPDATE: For those who know me, you know that I personally don't believe that 'thin is in.' Your 'ideal' weight is the one you're comfortable with, not society driven. There are many cultures worldwide that view being thin as being unhealthy and unattractive. So this article is about getting to where you want to be, and not following a guideline that is imposed by Hollywood.

Our next week's topic has been changed. We were going to discuss earthquakes and the pole shift, (and by the way, there was another earthquake in Indonesia just this morning), but decided to go with Create Your Ideal Body instead. (But we’ll get back to the original topic soon, and there may be a few more earthquakes in the meantime). By this we mean, how to get to and retain your ideal weight. There’s lots to say on this topic, and it may turn into a 2-part show. In a nutshell, we don’t believe that being overweight is a problem. It is merely the symptom of another matter. And getting to the root of the actual issue is when the symptoms will begin to disappear.

The issue at its core is the lack of love. This could be on the giving or the receiving end. Food then, serves as a substitute for love. But isn’t this lack-of-love issue related to just about every ailment? Yes, it is. Why? Because we are all made up of energy. And love is a healing energy that can miraculously cause diseased cells to become balanced and healthy. It’s just that people with weight challenges deal with the issue through food, whereas others deal with the lack (or perceived lack of) love via other means.

So, we will be talking about how to deal with this. One suggestion is stop trying to lose weight! Don’t tell yourself that you need or want to lose weight! The subconscious mind is the larger mind, and it is powerful. When you tell it you want to lose weight, often, it says, “If I lose it, then I need to find it again.” And it can sabotage your efforts.  A better way to frame this in your mind is to tell yourself, I want to drop weight. The subconscious will not want to put the effort into picking it back up because it’s heavy. A simple trick, but it works profoundly. And to keep it off, hold onto something else in its place! This something else is love. Love can make you feel so great that food will never compare. But eating can be a pleasurable experience! So it’s not the act of eating that is the problem, it’s what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat.

So we’ll be touching upon this issue on Friday night at 11:00. And about how to increase the flow of love in your life. I used to have weight issues in high school and it grieved me immensely. And I still love to eat, but I do it differently now. Dr. Suni and I have been working with clients to lose weight via various means for quite a few years. We look forward to your company. One Love.
