You need spiritual work because\u00a0 your weight loss diet brings change – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual change.<\/p>\n

Success is easier when you speak to your inner self and ground your core in\u00a0 the new goals you’ve set for your spiritual work.<\/p>\n

Now is a good time to embark on this spiritual journey.\u00a0 Choices, problems, challenges overwhelm us daily with information and current events.\u00a0 Everywhere we turn, people,\u00a0 animals, plants, air,\u00a0 water, and the earth even,\u00a0 cry out for help. We are drowning in all the needs for healing.<\/p>\n

Spiritual work looms large.<\/p>\n

To understand what is swirling around you, go to your spiritual center.\u00a0 This is the source of your strength, grounding, and peace.\u00a0 Here is where you’ll find your truth, your love and the core of your focus.\u00a0 \u00a0This is where you’ll find\u00a0 weight loss success in your spiritual work.<\/p>\n

This is where you’ll realize how much easier your life will be when your physical\u00a0 body is no longer weighted down with extra pounds.\u00a0 For some of us, there are pounds and pounds of protection to release.<\/p>\n

Guided meditations can be a positive experience for you now.\u00a0 I’ve relied on guided meditations for years.\u00a0 My three favorite guided meditation books were edited several years ago by Larry Moen.\u00a0 Entitled “Meditations for Awakening”,\u00a0 “Meditations for Transformation”, and “Meditations for Healing”,\u00a0 these books are\u00a0 available on Amazon.<\/p>\n

For me, these guided meditations offer a link between\u00a0 feelings,\u00a0 weight loss, and\u00a0 wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness is helpful.\u00a0 \u00a0As forgiveness heals your soul, dieting will be easier\u00a0 because\u00a0 you won’t need to hoard\u00a0 pounds.<\/p>\n

When forgiveness happens, some of your protection pounds will evaporate into the ethers.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean\u00a0 you don’t need to change your eating habits and exercise\u00a0 more.\u00a0 But it does mean that\u00a0 it’s easier\u00a0 to accomplish a weight-loss\u00a0 goal.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness can be a path all its own.\u00a0 Begin by forgiving\u00a0 everything past, everything present, and everything future.<\/p>\n

Forgive everything and everybody – including people and events you’ve forgotten.\u00a0 Simply forgive everyone.\u00a0 Forgive everyone who even possibly needs forgiveness.<\/p>\n

The idea is to clear everything up between you and everyone, now and forever.<\/p>\n

Release people to their own lives\u00a0 – now and in peace.<\/p>\n

And, last but not least, forgive yourself!<\/p>\n

Write a daily forgiveness mantra.<\/p>\n

You may find inspiration in some forgiveness prayers by Dr. Catherine Ponder.\u00a0 I didn’t copy them here because I couldn’t find out for sure whether they are copyrighted.<\/p>\n
