Living Higher=Getting Thinner

You've heard the term "You are what you eat" but what if you reversed that and said "You eat what you are". What do I mean by that??? I mean, I believe that we choose foods to eat (harmful or good) that reflect our inner light and happiness (or lack thereof).

In all the research that I've done, I am convinced that what we get on the outside is what matches us on the inside. This doesn't just happen overnight. Our life is shaped out of the many thoughts we are thinking. I have known so many people who could easily say that they believe they are spiritual and loving people. They live a life full of kindness. They think good thoughts. These people are reaping the rewards of those behaviors in many ways. Their lives are richly blessed because of it. But why are they overweight? Because somewhere, they aren't really happy. They may be doing much of their acts out of obligation or a need to please others. At the center of all of it is resentment and frustration. These people will abuse their body with food because it matches their masked inner emptiness. I know because I was one of those people.

The big culprit in all of this is negative thoughts and emotions. These are the root cause of problems that show up with our bodies. I'm sorry to tell you this, but food is not your issue. It's the tool you use to deal with your issue. Some of the negatives I am talking about would be in the form of bad thoughts and feelings that you have toward others. Jealousy, anger, resentment, frustration, being judgmental, cynicism, superiority, fear, and hatred are a few of them that come to mind. I am not telling you that you "shouldn't" feel some of those feelings from time to time (you wouldn't be human). I am telling you that you shouldn't "dwell" on those feelings! They are a cancer to the soul and will eat you up, one bite at a time.

How can we fix this? We start changing our life. We begin by changing our heart. This is why I am so adamant about having a spiritual connection. When we legitimately adhere to a higher standard of living, we ultimately see progress in all areas of our lives.

If you are a good person already, then look for the kinks in your heart. I promise they are there or you wouldn't be struggling with the weight. As you become a centered, happier, more loving person from the core, you will start seeing changes take place!!!! This is what is continuously happening in my own life, so I can truly attest to this. I enjoy this process of enlightenment, even though I feel that some days I fail miserably. However, I just keep getting up and trying again. This is an evolutionary process for us all.

Final thought: See the hidden thorns in your rose bush. Cut them out and cultivate yourself with inner light. Only then will you become the magnificent creature you were meant to be!!!!
