Healing your spirit is a process which at times is not easy. In order to heal and move forward, you must actually look at and acknowledge the pictures, programming or pain that you may be stuck in.

I’m not referring to intellectualizing as much as holding on to the energy and using it to define who you are. You can analyze all you want but until you are ready to clear out the energy, it will stick around and keep coming up time & time again.

That being said, it’s also about taking the steps to do this. Change is difficult and scary for most of us. It’s easier to stay where we are. Even pain creates a comfort zone of sorts. At least you know how you feel!

This familiar feeling, although it hurts or feels empty, is indeed familiar. If/when you are ready and decide to heal there is a letting go of the familiar and you move into unknown territory.

I think that in general, people who have endured a lot of pain whether it be physical or emotional put their best ‘face’ forward. Some are even embarrassed by it so they keep it all to themselves and suffer in silence & isolation.

There are also those that tell you how awful they feel, but are so caught up and focused on the pain that they attract more of the same. They seek activities and busy-ness to stay occupied, not quieting the mind and BEing long enough to let go, end that chapter of their life and move on.

Regardless of putting your best face forward or ‘doing’ to keep busy it actually takes a lot of effort to hide or cover up the pain. In fact it can be exhausting! On many levels you are not showing your true self to the world and it’s tiring to always be someone you are not.

One of my dearest friends is writing a book on healing emotional abuse. We’ve been friends for years and I never really knew what she went through until a few years ago. In her new blog DETERMINED NOW she says it wasn’t until she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired” that she finally decided to stop analyzing, let go of the blame and live her life.

I’m grateful for our friendship, the love in her heart and being able to watch her heal. Although her true healing journey has just begun, I can see clearly that she has made a decision that will forever change her life.

What all this comes down to is CHOICE. You can choose to heal or you can stay in the place that you are. Choosing to let go of unhealthy habits/behaviours, emotions that don’t feel good or resistance is something to work on every day.

You can meditate and have all the tools you need to heal, however until you are ready, you may or may not use them . It’s certainly ok if you are not ready or choose not to make change in your life BUT I can tell you from personal experience that when you choose to heal you will free yourself from the chains that bind you.

Find the love in your heart and acknowledge all those wonderful things about you that make you uniquely…YOU! Wake up to your beauty & truth! Unlock the chains and have the freedom to fly! And remember this: when you find peace within and close a door, there is another one very near on the horizon ready to open! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Each one of us is an eternal spirit in a human body. Our bodies are precious and in this lifetime you have only one! Not only is it something to be to cared for, but loved as well.

While most of my blogs address the spiritual aspect of our lives, that is only half the picture. There is also this wonderful thing called your body!

It is possible that you are not happy with your body and you are interested in losing weight. Whether you want to lose a pound/kilo/stone (or more) it IS all about energy! This is part 1 of a clairvoyant look at body weight from an energetic perspective.

As a Weight Watcher meeting leader, having personally gotten rid of 86 lbs in 1996, I have not only experienced the weight loss process but have the opportunity each week to motivate and watch others on their journey.

Losing weight can be a daunting task. Anyone who’s ever tried to get rid of even a few pounds knows how difficult it can be. There is a process and of course everyone knows that it’s about calories taken in vs. calories burned.

That said, there is another piece to the puzzle and that piece is the energy that you hold in your spiritual body AND at a cellular level. When you clear the energy it makes the process of losing a lot smoother. 🙂

Physical body weight is actually there for a reason and it’s different for each person. There are people who want to cover up their pain or not be seen. Some have so much attention on them and/or are so sensitive to energy that they use it to protect their inner self.

People use food to comfort their hurts and then hold on to the weight like a warm blanket. Some use food to fill a void. For some food= love, happiness and family, while others use the weight to become grounded and make the body feel real.

Of course those are not ALL the reasons but they are what I see most consistently. So why keep on the weight? Well, at an unconscious level it can be a protection, a way to feel safe like being in a cocoon and/or can act as a ‘buffer’ between you and others.

No matter ‘why’, becoming conscious & aware of your body and what’s going on INSIDE is an important step! There is always a healing of the inner self in the process of losing weight and keeping it off.

Take time to care for you! Close your eyes, take a deep breath. Be aware of your body and how it feels. Wiggle your fingers and toes! Ask your body what it wants or needs. Thank your body for all it does for you! You may put your body through a lot each day!

Now, stop beating yourself up if you aren’t perfect! 🙂 ENERGY & WEIGHT LOSS ~Part 2 is full of practical tips to help your process along.

Loving & caring for body AND spirit is an empowering journey that I guarantee will change your life! Who knows, you might even be a BIG FAT LOSER…but in terms of weight loss, that makes you a WINNER! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
