SPIRITUAL WEIGHT LOSS IS A HEALING PROCESS
Written by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
Weight loss is a healing process not designed or destined to be rushed or cut away like harvesting a forest.
Imagine yourself going through each room of your home. Looking at all that you have accumulated. Each item represents something or someone you once loved a memory, a gift. Some of your thoughts may be sweet others funny and then others sad. Each item has an emotion, a memory and energy behind it.
Imagine your body the same way. Each ounce of it represents your thoughts and the
Creators thoughts about you and for you. Sixteen ounces of thought equal a pound of emotion. The more thoughts the more emotions the more pounds. Each representing something you decided to hold onto until you were ready to let it go.
Since thoughts form things those past emotions that you have not released or cleared began to form extra body weight. Not an extra arm or leg or head, but extra flesh in the form of adipose tissue. How much is a pound of flesh really worth? How many emotions and memories are contained in an extra pound of body weight?? Could scientist ever figure
that one out??
Look how much you are still holding on to. Who is it, why is it, and who and what does it still serve? Why are you still carrying it around and how does that help you to become a better person or Lightworkers?
Step back for just a moment and look at yourself fully. See every ounce of body weight as
an emotion that needs to filtered through the human mind. As an energy that needs to be released through the human body. Look at where you still hold your tears, fears and angers. Your body is a repository for situations and memories that still need healing. We can blame genetics, carbs, fatty foods, our parents or Macdonald's for all that we still cling on to, but you and I know the truth behind the extra few pounds of matter.
It is not time to lose weight (as it always seems to find you in the hide and go seek game
of life) it is time to heal what emotion is hidden in that pound of flesh that we are holding
captive. It does not mean you have to gear up and submerge yourself in the cesspool of the past, but you do need to stand on the shoreline of self and wave good bye as you wish those pounds of emotion bon voyage.
The human body is a sacred space that holds our weighty emotions prisoner until those emotions are loved enough to be released on good behavior. Who and what do we still hold as poisons and prisoners in the body, mind and spirit?
How much energy does one pound of body weight hold? How many thoughts and sadnesses and angers did it take to make that extra pound? How much time did it take to create it? All that is thick and dense and connected to the past is ready to change form.
You and you alone are the only one that can make that happen.
Are you ready to truly let go in the now? The mother earth is ready to ascend in thought
and action through you. Are we each the sandbags that are holding her down and keeping
her earth bound? If we let go will she? If we become lighter will she?
2004 is about bringing heaven to earth through the human awareness and the human body. Karma is filtered through the body and mind; light is filtered through the body and mind and love needs a place to land within the body and mind. See the vibration of self-love as the bulldozer that clears the terrain of your past. All weight comes from the past it cannot exist in the future without your say so. There is a great light that yearns to be
released within each extra pound of body weight that no longer serves us. Are we the world holding the light we are seeking? Is it hiding within our physical form where it is of no value to anyone or anything?
By lightening your body, clearing your thoughts and releasing emotional baggage without digging through it we assist all of the universe in becoming more. We do not need to become more by adding extra poundage. It is time to think light, pack light and portray light on all levels of body mind and soul.
