How to Lose Weight - Getting to the Source of the Matter, Part Two

<p>Your body is a bio-computer that stores every single event you ever experience in your subconscious mind. If you experience an event in your life that was traumatic or stressful, the memory of this event will store in a muscle, organ or meridian.</p><p>The body is very similar to a luxury car that has a computer in it to detect anything that is wrong with the car. When something becomes wrong with the car it will flash a light or make a beeping sound to inform the owner that something is wrong. This is much the same as the human body, it has its own special way of alerting you when something is not right.</p><p>Its way of doing this is to present you with physical, mental or emotional symptoms. In order to get rid of Dis ease you need to implement the steps in the following anagram.</p><p>Dissect any issues that cause structural stress in the energetic (or physical), analytical (or mental), spiritual or emotional aspects of your life.</p><p>"The dis ease is the cure" - By dissecting any issues that are causing you structural stress in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life you will have actually identified the cause of your dis ease. Once you have identified the cause of disease you can begin to eliminate them.</p><p>Dis ease symptoms. A symptom is a physical, mental, spiritual or emotional issue stored in a muscle, organ or meridian which gives you structural stress. A symptom could be: Aches and pains, muscle spasm (sore neck, sore lower back, sore knees etc), injury, illness, discomfort (eg ulcers, headaches, stress, sleeping difficulties, upset stomach (diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome etc)</p><p>The Oxford dictionary meaning for symptom is: A physical or mental sign. Symptoms of dis ease are merely signs that there is a block, or excess build up of energy in your body and that an underlying issue needs to be addressed to free the energy. All of these signs are there to prompt you to re-establish balance in your life.</p><p>5 simple solutions to reduce or remove dis ease. Now that you are more aware of the areas of dis ease in your life, how do you reduce or remove it so you can get back to a state of ease?</p><p>1) Make a decision to do so. You must first want to change. Two things motivate people: Pleasure and pain. You will either seek to avoid pain or to attain pleasure. If you are not feeling enough pain from your current level of health and well being then maybe you will not want to change. Thats fine, but if you have decided that enough is enough and you finally want to move away from the pain in your life then you will need to create a feeling of immense pleasure from what it is you wish to be, do and have in your life.</p><p>Once the pleasure stimulus is strong enough, then you will initiate a strong enough momentum (or level of commitment) to bring about change in your life. Take full responsibility for your health because if you cant own it you cant manage it.</p><p>2) Raise your awareness of your thoughts. You must start to become a detective that tracks out any negative thoughts that may begin the dis ease process.</p><p>Much the same way as a mechanic does with a car you can start to do this for your life. You must be aware that negative thoughts do exist and that when they do arise you must be fully aware of their presence. This is easier said than done, because so much of our lives are run on habit and we are very seldom actually in the present to be fully aware of our thought processes. To raise your awareness of your thoughts you need to live in the present moment and turn your attention inwards.</p><p>3) Choose the appropriate response to your thoughts. It is at this stage that you will decide to respond positively to the thought or simply dismiss it. Allow a thought to be in your presence for one second before you respond to it. Too often we are quick to react to a thought, based on the underlying emotion we feel and therefore we often end up acting out an unnecessary behaviour.</p><p>Take your time and be selective, you do not have to react to every thought or impulse that comes into your mind. If it feels right then you can act accordingly. By being responsive and not impulsive will enable you to win back the control over your thoughts. If you are thinking negatively about a situation reframe your attitude toward it.</p><p>Reframing your Attitude. "Energy flows where attention goes" You will always get what you focus on. So why not focus on the positive aspect of the issue.</p><p>4) Address and remove the issue that is causing the structural stress. Imagine your life is a hot air balloon and complete physical, mental, emotional and spiritual freedom is when the balloon is flying, but first you must cut the ropes that are keeping you grounded. Think of these ropes as issues that need to be addressed and removed before you have complete freedom.</p><p>By seeking the truth you will be set free. To do this you need to ask yourself some quality questions. A quality question is one that ultimately leads to the root cause of an issue. It is one that prompts thought by the receiver of the question and opens up a new level of awareness.Example:</p><p>If I am carrying too much body fat and I have concern for my health, I would need to ask myself</p><p>Why has this situation occurred? My answer may be because I dont have time to cook and therefore I only buy take away food.</p><p>I would then ask myself, OK why do I not have time to cook? Because I am too busy at work.</p><p>I would then ask.. Why am I too busy at work? Because I have to pay for my mortgage and two kids.</p><p>What would it mean to me if I couldnt pay for the mortgage and the welfare of my kids? It would mean that we are unable to live to a level of lifestyle quality that I choose and that I would be seen as a failure in my wife and familys eyes.</p><p>How would that make you feel? "I would feel Gulity"</p><p>Can you see how quality questions soon get to the true cause of a persons issue? Note how the original symptom was the persons concern for his level of body fat and how this was affecting his health. However, when quality questions were asked it soon became evident that his real issue was one of not wanting to feel guilty for being a failure to provide for his family.</p><p>Make a conscious effort to ask yourself some quality questions. Once you have found the root cause of the issue focus on finding an appropriate solution to the issue. Too often we will focus on a problem in a situation rather than focusing on a solution.</p><p>Too often this is the case with modern medicine and pharmaceutical companies, they will look to treat the symptoms of an illness or ailment rather treating the underlying cause of the issue. To do this they create a solution that only masks the disease, which often has negative side effects.</p><p>The key with your health and well being is to consistently focus your thoughts on how to achieve the best possible solution to your problem. The best way to do this is to prevent it ever becoming a problem in the first place.</p><p>5) Live in the present moment. It is important to go through life being permanently aware of how you feel. This means being in the now, not the past or the future. Be here now!! The present is the only thing you have absolute power over in your life.</p><p>Close any old or incomplete cycles of energy in your life. This will free up your energy that is stuck in the past and give you a lot more energy to deal with more important issues in the present.</p><p>An excellent technique for being present is to go through each of the five senses and describe exactly what they are feeling like to you at this time. Really taste your food, smell smells, see colours, hear sounds, and feel objects. What do they really feel like? This is also a good way to sober up an intoxicated person, because a drunk person is just out of their mind (or reality) when they are drunk. This brings them back into their body, back into the now. Try this next time you have had a few too many.</p><p>Exercise:CE 0. The following is an exercise commonly used by Clearing practitioners. CE 0 is an exercise in being. Following the exercise you will feel a lot more present, a lot calmer and centered within yourself.</p><p>Find a partner and sit facing each other, knee to knee, look into each others eyes and do not move for the next ten minutes. If you feel like moving, itching or shuffling try not to do so, as this is just your sub conscious letting off some dis ease. If you feel like laughing, go for it. This is a great way to discharge any emotional dis ease. Perform CE 0 for ten minutes and notice how you feel at the end of this time.</p><p>The author Andrew McCombe (BPhEd) is a Personal Trainer, Life Coach and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner, Author and Speaker.
