Your Fat Cells Are Listening

At a quantum level, we are all just big bundles of energy. Our
thoughts are energy, our words are energy, and our emotions are
energy. Whatever you choose to focus on multiplies.That is,
energy flows to whatever you think about a lot, speak about a
lot, and whatever you respond to with emotion -- and it grows.
You have a relationship with your body, and YOUR BODY IS
LISTENING TO YOU!
If you keep telling your body it is FAT, it will continue to be
fat for you.Your cells are an intelligence system with which you
communicate.Whenever you say, "I am fat," your fat cells listen
and respond.
Most people with weight issues are very practiced at speaking
negatively about themselves and their bodies.The result is that,
by doing this, they keep adding to the problem.
It is almost impossible for your body to change when you keep
sending it negative messages.As long as you say, "I am FAT," you
give your body more instruction and energy to BE FAT!
I teach my clients to change their language to support their
body in changing.Changing the negative "I am" to a positive "I
am" is a powerful first step.
Change the "I am fat" to "I am slimming down."Change the "I
never get results; it is too hard to lose weight," to "I am
getting results; it is getting easier to lose weight."
Some people have a hard time saying a positive "I am" when that
is not their current reality.The point is, if you want to
change your reality, you had better start changing the
way you think and speak about it.
Your body's intelligence system is smart.I believe the natural
state of the body is to be lean and healthy.The body is always
striving for this outcome, yet the power your mind has to
disrupt this natural outcome is strong -- especially when your
body keeps getting daily doses of negative feedback from you.
Trust your body to start doing the job it was created to do for
you.If you despise your body, you weaken it and block its
power.Love your body in its current condition.The body is in
many ways like a small child: it just wants to do a good job and
be appreciated and loved.You wouldn't tell a 4-year-old child
that she was no good and unlovable, would you? Imagine your body
as if it were a small child, to whom your thoughts and words are
directed every day. Are you being an abusive adult to your
body?Stop abusing your body with your thoughts and words.Start
loving your body, and you will be amazed at how it will start
working even harder for you to get the results you desire.
The following are some of my clients' favorite affirmations that
can be used to empower your body:- I am healthy and
lean.
- I give myself recognition beyond
food.
- I love myself, I love my body, and fat just
disappears.
- I look nice; I am active; I am enough; and
I count.
- I am my ideal weight.
- I feel great
in my clothes.
- I enjoy exercising several times a
week.
- I can say "No."
- It is easy to find
other things to do in the evening rather than
eating.
- I can let down my walls.
- I am proud
of my body; it did what I told it to do.
- My body's
natural state is to be lean.
- I am
fulfilled.
- Food is a resource I manage
wisely.
- My metabolism works great.
- My body
knows what to do with what I give it.

with my body as it learns new habits.

overwork.

responds to my thoughts.

whatever I think and feel I am.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:Earlier this year I had an opportunity to
attend a three day Internetseminar with Carol and had a chance
to get to know her. Although I enjoyed the seminar, the
highlight was the opportunity to get to know Carol.
Without a doubt energy psychology is one of the greatest tools I
have ever encountered in the healing modalities and EFT is an
amazing application of this discipline. Carol happens to be one
of the most gifted EFT clinicians I know of.
If you want to apply some of the principles Carol discusses
in the above article and learn powerful healing techniques to
release the emotional issues that are keeping you from losing
the weight you willwantto pick up Carol's best-selling Audio CD
Clearing the Issues that are Keeping You Fat.You can also
reviewCarol's other life changing books, CDs and DVDs thatI
highly recommended.
Carol stopped seeing clients awhile ago so she can concentrate
on sharing her message over the internet.However there was such
a demand for her services that shedecided to limit her patient
load andincrease her fees to $10,000 for a series
ofcomprehensive individual consultationsand even at thoserates
she has more clients than she can handle.
InOctober Iinvited Carol to spend some time at my center to
teach my staff some of her principles and we had a great time
and decided that we will offer a joint seminar in Chicago in
April 6, 7 and 8th. I want to tell you that now as by then it
will have been nearly two years since I have held a major event.
The last one was also in Chicago in June of 2004.
It was an EFT event with Gary Craig and we sold out the 550
seats in a few days and had a waiting list of over 500 people
who could not attend.
Well, this event should be far better than the one last year as
we have some incredible programs that will absolutely amaze you
at the benefits you will receive.
Can't tell you much more about it now, but I do want to forewarn
you to mark you calendars now for next April 6-8th and plan on
being in Chicago for an event you will remember the rest of your
life.
