Inner Guide to Fat Loss

Keep your brown fat cool:
A natural type of body fat called brown fat can enhance weight loss and fat burning because brown fat uses extra sugars and other types of body fat for fuel. You can trigger a 15% increase in your fat burning response by keeping yourself chilly during your exercise.

Being overheated from bundling up or being so cold that you shiver makes your brown fat stop burning fuel and your fat burning metabolism actually slows down.

So... to enhance your brown fat energy burning metabolism begin your exercise routine with appropriate layers make sure you feel comfortably cool.1

Caught up in new diets, good foods, bad foods, slow carbs, bad carbs and no carbs?
Fitness, weight loss and reducing body fat are on everyone’s mind. Have you noticed that thoughts about your body or the foods you eat can weigh you down and make you feel heavier than you know yourself to be?

I believe that each of us is the perfect expression of Wholeness and that the foods we eat are a spiritual form of substance and supply . We have the innate intelligence within that can guide us to the best way of eating.

If it's a challenge to know what food plan is best for you-- a health coach can show you how to get started. The food plan that works great for your best friend might need to be tailored to make it a success for you.... Our bodies and physical systems are unique and we each have different needs.

Are you stuck in a rut with sugar? Do you feel anxious late at night and find yourself reaching for the graham crackers? Has daily exercise become impossible because your schedule along with your clothes feel too tight?

Regardless of what foods have packed on extra pounds we can have loving, harmonious communication with ourselves that praises and supports healing results on a deep inner level.

Meditation

Here’s a meditation to read aloud morning and evening I think it can shift your heavy thoughts and help you enjoy new vitality, weight loss and healing:

My food agrees with me and I agree with it. I am guided to make the best possible choices in the foods I eat. Everything I eat is perfectly assimilated and digested and all my organ systems and every part of me is in harmony with all that I take into my body. I am in harmony with all my foods, my thoughts and the substance that supplies my body creates vibrancy, harmony, healing and fitness.

I enjoy your questions and comments let me know how this works for you and I'd love to hear about your healing adventures.

Good Sleep-the Foundation of Spiritual Living

Sleeping an extra 60-90 minutes each night is a no cost treatment you can do at home to enhance happiness, health and safety. You can begin to improve your health and well being in just a few weeks with this practice and makes it less likely that you will develop hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, obesity and cancer and it reduces risk of early death.1

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 35% of adults are sleeping less than 7 hours a night. After 7 days of insomnia and sleepless nights genetic markers for inflammation, stress, heart disease, and metabolic problems begin to increase in the blood stream.2 One challenge of sleep deprivation is that the more tired we become the harder it is to realize how truly tired we are.3

Some people have sleep difficulties because of hormonal imbalances, sleep apnea, substance abuse and stressful situations. It’s a good idea to see your health practitioner if you have experienced more than a few weeks of poor sleep.

I believe that being rested allows our entire being to relax and know more peace, tranquility and joy. When we enjoy the inner harmony that good regular sleep brings our awareness is filled with peace and can more easily “wake up” to the truth of our Divine Being. 

I know and accept that you and I sleep in peace, wake in joy and live in goodness and love. Our mind and body are healed with restful sleep each and every night. And this creates the foundation for waking up to richer more spiritual living.

How Young Do You Want to Look? guest post with Rev Anne Ahokangas

Thinking can keep you young!

"We teach how to think, not what to think" is the basis of Religious Science.





When you truly know you individualize the all-powerful Creative Principle and it creates through you by means of your thinking, you unlock the truth of how experiences are created.

When you think about something for a long time and add strong feelings about it, an experience is created. The Principle you think into responds by corresponding. This is the 'How' part of all of life.

We encourage becoming aware of "what" you think. And when you think with awareness, deliberately, the result is constructive and positive.

You are always free to choose what to think. And when you understand infinite good is possible, you will wisely choose your  "What."

Let me use an easy example. Reactions are thoughts. Reactions are usually negative in nature. These negative thoughts actually resonate in the cells. Enough of this kind of resonance and wrinkles get deeper, health and vitality diminish, happiness becomes illusive.

I suggest taking 3- 4 seconds before reacting to any scenario. Take a deep breath and realize that if the situation can’t be helped or solved by being angry/afraid, then choose to remain neutral.

It may not diffuse the scenario, but you will ultimately be younger and happier. Remember, what you do, think and react to today, creates  tomorrows experiences.

The Number One Healing Secret

I believe you have a healing power-- alive and awake in every one of your cells; working all the time to repair and restore you to state of vibrancy and health. A part of your mind is always able to resonate with the idea of healing.

For me the number one healing secret is to keep a healthy mental attitude and always move towards joy and happiness. Believing that it is possible to achieve the healing you desire can do more than the most expensive drugs or therapies.

So whether you are struggling with osteoporosis, depression, chronic pain and fatigue, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease, obesity, arthritis, insomnia or any of the more serious illnesses…….

I invite you now to think this over with me.

Our minds and thoughts are constantly moving. When they move in the direction of love, peace, courage and good will they activate a dynamic healing power that can make your healing journey a great success.

Deliberate thoughts of healing and positivity can help your body move from dis-ease to peace, ease, comfort and radiant health.

I see you and I as the perfect expression of Divine Intelligence. Every part of us is filled with Wholeness. We are Whole, Well, and Harmonious now and always.
