A Facade is typically one side of the exterior of a building, usually the front, but also sometimes the sides and rear that shows the most prominent and detailed architectural features.

The structure is breathtakingly beautiful with its detailed craftsmanship from the outside, but what’s on the inside can be very different.

What was once a beautiful interior may be in need of a bit of rehab if no one’s lived there or taken care of it for a while. It may be outdated. There could be cobwebs, layers of dust, and the need for some new paint! You get the idea here. 🙂

Appearances can be deceiving! Some people spend their lives making sure the details are perfect on the outside, yet neglect the very thing that needs a little rehab and holds the key to true happiness. Maybe it’s time to open the door to the inside!

There is really nothing outside of you that is going to make you happy on the inside. Not material things, not the perfect lover, not your friends. An energetic facade is occasionally put up to show others how ‘happy’ you are but if you are hurting inside it actually takes a good deal of effort to hold up!

Perhaps it’s difficult to look behind the facade if there is garbage piled up, or storage boxes of pain you’ve been meaning to unpack but still carry with you. If so, get out your broom and dustpan, gold cloth and start sparkling up the inside! No time like the present to clean it out and clear the “stuff” piling up in the corner!

Keep in mind that it’s not always easy to unpack the boxes. There can be painful memories that come up. If your energy is stuck in these memories you have less of it present to create with in the NOW but once you start, like any rehab project, there’s no turning back and the results will be STUNNING! 🙂

Here’s where it gets fun! YOU are the general contractor! YOU are the designer! You get to sweep out, sparkle up and create your space with awareness! By shining and bringing your light inside, any darkness instantly disappears! Your bright shiny spirit acts as a new coat of paint on the walls!

In essence your rehab is really about clearing a space for YOU to come home to YOU! When you decorate your interior with YOU it shows on the outside as well! It isn’t necessary hold up a facade because the beautiful details on the outside ARE you!

Since the dawn of time every race, religion, culture & ethnicity hold celebrations which are centered around food. No wonder it’s so hard to lose weight when feeling good, love and belonging are all in a sense programmed into our world!

As promised in ENERGY & WEIGHT LOSS~ Part 1 here are some practical tips to care for body & spirit:

Grounding-Take time to turn your attention within and quiet the mind allowing your body to calm. Grounding and centering creates safety. Your grounding connection with the earth is a way to release energy so you don’t have to carry it around with you. DESSERTS is STRESSED spelled backwards! Release the stress and bring your attention back to your body. 🙂

Eat with Awareness-Be aware of what, where and how you are eating! Notice how it tastes, how your body is feeling. Pay attention. If you zone out while eating, you may not even realize you have eaten!

Listen to Your Body-Your body has lots to tell you! What is it that your body really wants? Try going to the produce section, take a moment to ground and ask your body what color it wants. When you have the answer, purchase fruits & veggies of that color. That color may be the very nutrition or vibration that your body needs & wants.

Feel Your Feelings-Your feelings don’t have a body therefore do not need to eat! They are your feelings. Feel and validate what you are feeling. Give those feelings a big energetic hug and if you are feeling bad or there’s a void, shift your focus to something that makes you feel good and fill up with that feeling instead of food.

Make the Body Real– Get moving! Go for a walk or some other form of activity. Notice your surroundings and your physical body. Walk in the sand and feel the earth under your feet. Get a massage. This will not only bring you instant body awareness but validates body AND spirit. Movement & body awareness in general helps you to ground. When you are conscious of your physical body you no longer need extra weight to feel real.

Clear Judgement-Be in a neutral place. Eliminate words like “good” and “bad”. You are not being “bad” if you eat ice cream! You ARE however making a CHOICE. Make your choice and own it. If you choose something absolutely decadent, eat less of it. If you feel guilty later, ground yourself, let the judgement go and be in present time! You can’t go back and change the past but you can certainly decide to make a different choice next time.

Fill up with YOU-It’s not always about letting go; it’s also about filling up and replenishing with all that you are. Close your eyes and picture a golden sun above your head. Now bring that sun down through the top of your head and fill up! The more you fill up, the easier it is to let go of all that is not you.

Protect Your Space– Protect yourself using energy & mental image pictures! While in meditation, picture yourself in a gold bubble of energy. Think of it like the earth’s atmosphere. When something is hurdling toward the earth, it gets burned off before it hits the planet. When you protect yourself energetically you no longer have to use your physical body weight to do it! 🙂

When you fill your mind with good thoughts, your heart with love and know that you truly belong as a powerful, valuable creator in the universe, you no longer have to weigh yourself down using food!~Shine Your Light Debbie
