What about weight and our bodies?

I realize I have not posted in a while.  Sometimes one takes breaks without knowing why.  I'm just allowing myself that break with love and understanding -- whatever my mind may think.  It's like I allowed the break until I had something so compelling to write about, that I had to write about it. 

That event was my Pasadena Belief Change Group last Friday night.  Wow!  In putting out the email announcing it I heard that it was to be about the body.  Wasn't given much more information than that in the guidance I received, so I just let it be, thinking that the day of the event I'd get more info. Only I didn't.  I really didn't even expect anyone to come.  Maybe it was that expectation or resistance that had almost everyone arrive late. 

Yes, as I look back on it I see that I had my own resistance to this evening and probably it would have been my preference to skip it.  The Universe had other plans.  And so as I took stock of the group, and how each one felt about their bodies, I noticed we had folks who felt like they were happy with their bodies, people who felt they were underweight and very much wanted to change that, and people who felt they were overweight and wanted to change that.  I personally am in the "a few extra pounds" that I'd be happy to part with category. 

Each person present seemed to add to the whole of what we were exploring -- each one bringing a different piece of the puzzle to the table.  Holding hate in your body was one of the issues brought to the table.  One person who felt they definitely had hate stored in their body, muscle tested "no" for it.  Which opened us up to finding other layers and places where it might be stored.  Seems like even when we clear beliefs about hate from our beingness, from our different levels, it is still possible for it to be stored in places in the body -- or at least the residue of it.  As we dug deeper and deeper, we discovered seven different and apparently separate -- because they all demanded that we look at them separately -- stashing places for the emotion of hate.  Then, of course we looked at fear, anger, resentment and revenge energy residues and one, some or all of us found these as well. 

Here's how one participant put it.

Last nights session was really great!  I actually feel “cleaner” today!  My body is just dropping the unnecessary programming it has carried around for all these years. Thank you for being there for me….actually for all of us!  It was a great group last night – the interaction was amazing!  It seemed like we were “gathered” last night to help each other!

This is how it felt to me too, so I decided to include it. 

For a while now I've been asking myself questions about what is causing my body to hold onto the weight it has?  I know other ThetaHealing Teachers have said that one can't solve weight problems with Theta -- and I believe you can.  Now, I just have to discover how. 

I always include myself in all the downloads and learning, because I truly approach these classes from the point of view that I am as much the student as the facilitator.  And what I feel now in my body is a willingness and joy in embracing and finding satisfaction with healthier choices.  Over time these choices will lead to letting go of weight.  And for me, the willingness to follow this path on an ongoing basis is key.  What I want in my life is the desire to and willingness to follow a healthy lifestyle on an ongoing basis, not a diet, or an expensive fast, or pills to keep me from overindulging. 

While not a nutritionist, the amount I've read and studied on the subject would probably qualify me for some accreditation or other.  That is to say I know what to do to let go of weight, I know how to do it, and I've tried a lot of things -- from fasting, to calorie counting, to Isagenix, to Brain Garden, to vegetarian liver cleansing regimens, to appetite suppressants and much, much more.  And they've all worked to a point.  And then I gained it back. 

The question for me was why was my body feeling compelled to pull this weight back to me.  And, I think the class the other night has begun to unravel the mystery. 

I'm doing another Breakthrough group in West LA this Thursday, May 1 at 7:30. We are going to explore this issue more.  In the future I'm going to explore at a deeper level our beliefs about food and eating.  For sure this exploration is going to have several parts.  Another will be about movement and the body.  As I get going on this I'll going to offer it as a 2 or 3 part teleclass, so let me know if you have an interest in participating in the Teleclass if you are too far away for the in-person groups.

To RSVP for West LA Theta Breakthru Group, call me at 818-590-0062  May 1, 7:30 p.m. I'll send you directions.  Cost $17.00.  Spaces are limited because of all the individual work we do. 

To be notified about the Teleclass, email me at thetahealingblog@gmail.com. I also welcome your comments and questions about this post.

Thetahealing Basic class on May 2, 3, 4 (in Pasadena).  If you've done the class and want to do it again, I'm offering a special price of $100.00.
