Last week I worked with a client who had an amazing break through. Her core issue was not forgiving herself for making mistakes in her second marriage, which led to divorce. She has been very hard on herself for seven years because she thought she asked all right questions and should have known better. I did chakra work with her and message was loud and clear…..FORGIVE YOURSELF. (Incidentally, I will explain chakra work in another lesson).

Now, while looking into mirror, take your right hand and form a fist and rub over heart and repeat out loud:

Even though I have had issue of not forgiving myself, I deeply love and accept myself and this issue is healed. Divine Love floods my whole body with light and every cell is filled with love. Say this ten times.

In addition, while mirror is in front you, tell yourself, “You look marvelous, baby!!”

How do you feel? Stupendous! Awesome! Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious! (Okay, I am a fan of Mary Poppins and I love that word).

Practice! Practice! Practice! (Affirmations, Rapid Eye, Emotional Freedom Techniques, gratitude, forgiveness). The more you do it, more it just becomes natural to bring in all positives and surround yourself with them. Your ideal weight is already there. Believe it! Know it! Expect it!

I appreciate you and your efforts and am so grateful that you’re part of my life. I am sending you pink light energy. Hug yourself with this light and be surrounded in love.

Love and hugs,

Eat a balanced NATURAL-FOODS diet. By natural foods, we mean foods that would have been eaten by your hunter-gatherer ancestors: - lots of whole vegetable foods for vitamins and fiber; moderate to small portions of meats, fish, seafood, and other animal and protein foods, grilled, stewed or baked; and small portions of fresh whole fruit in season. This is diet on which human race evolved, and diet which, for vast majority of people, makes for optimum health

So next time you're about to order a meal with fries and sugary soda, think about how it could be improved. Replace fries with a salad, and soda with mineral water, and you've already made significant progress towards a more healthy, balanced meal.

And at home, look for recipes that use whole, fresh foods, with a minimum of processing. Make sure your meals include natural unprocessed foods, with lots of healthy vegetables, both cooked, and raw in salads. Avoid processed fats and processed low-fiber foods.

A sample menu: - grilled fish with steamed green beans, and peppers - large mixed salad, dressed with small amounts of olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice - fresh fruit platter

Yes - A healthy, balanced diet can be that simple!
