When it comes to any action you choose to take in life you always have the choice of which path you will take when acting. If you choose the path of love your resistance to taking that action will be low and you will have an easier time of things.
If you opt for buying into fear you will have great resistance to taking action and if you don’t take action, how will you get what you want?
Fear Keeping You Stuck?
When it comes to losing weight and getting fit, this requires a lifestyle change if you wish to keep the weight off for life and live with ease, effortlessness, love, and joy. If you’re living in fear you certainly cannot live in joy and love because joy is a much higher vibration than fear.
There are several ways that you can sabotage any weight loss efforts you may undertake by choosing fear over love. Here are just 5 ways that fear will sabotage your weight loss if you allow it to:
1. Fear of Failure - You’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked for you so even when you do come upon a solution that gets to the core of your issue (your inside) rather than being a band aid (the newest diet) for your symptom (overweight), you don’t take action because of fear.
2. Fear of What Others Will Think - If you still care about what others think then you are chained as far as just how far you can go in life. No one else can live your life for you and no one else has the same experience as you do. There is nothing that anyone else can give you that you don’t already have yourself and if you are living in fear of what others will think if you Go For It and become healthy, fit, fun, and fabulous, then your fear will keep you stuck.
3. Fear of Investment - It takes a commitment to truly become all that you can be and it takes a commitment to create a healthy, fit, fun lifestyle that will support your weight loss and maintain that loss for life. When you are afraid to invest your time, energy, money, focus, hope, and belief in becoming the person you wish you be then you will not become that person. Investing in yourself is the best thing you could ever do for anyone since the best thing you can do in this life is allow your light to shine. This does take an investment, a commitment however and when you live in fear of committing fully your results will show that lack of commitment.
4. Fear of Loss - When you fear losing others because of changes you wish to make how can you ever become all that you can be? If anyone leaves your life because you become more successful then clearly they do not have your best interests at heart. However the greatest travesity you could effect would be to hold yourself back from shining your light because you want to keep people in your life. This path is completely fear-based and it’s also an attempt to control others. When you allow fear of losing others to keep you stuck and living in inaction you will not achieve your dreams of success with health and fitness or anything else.
5. Fear of Success - You’ve become so used to failure and so down on yourself that when presented with the way out you don’t take action because of the fear of the unknown. It takes courage to succeed, courage to Go For It, and courage to change. You really can be, do, or have anything you want in this life once you learn how to get there with fun and ease, but if you are afraid to become all that you can be in this life then you will hold yourself back from taking action.
Fear or Love – Which Do You Choose?
Instead of choosing fear you could instead choose love. Love feels good. Love is grateful, appreciative, joyful, fun, light, and easy. Fear is controlling, heavy, and is focused on lack and limitation. Simply put – it’s not fun!
When you instead opt for the path of love and joy, the lighter path, then there you will find fun along the way. How can you help but have fun when you are skipping along in ease, joy, and love?
On the other side, the pathway of fear is clouded with all of those days of telling yourself you’ll “do it tomorrow”, along with those potholes of your fears and doubts like the ones I listed above. Those fears will sabotage your progress and that’s not what you want as your end goal, is it?
Nope, I didn’t think so. So here’s to you choosing the lighter path of fun and love so that you can have an easy time of losing weight, getting fit, and creating the body that you truly wish to live in – have F.U.N. with it!

Are you tired of weight loss programs which just don’t work? It’s time for a change: try something different. Yoga can help you to lose weight because it helps you to change your lifestyle. Forget about dieting, just do some simple yoga stretches every day.
1. Find a Beginner’s Yoga Class
You don’t have to be an expert yogi to lose weight with yoga. You can be a complete beginner. What matters is that yoga will change you, and the weight will vanish over time. It’s not a process you can force, you simply allow it to happen.
Start the process by finding a beginners yoga class in your area, and make a commitment to go to class at least once a week.
2. Spend Ten Minutes Morning and Evening on Your Favorite Poses
In yoga there around 10 primary poses with endless variations. Pick your favorite two poses, and do them morning and evening. This should take you around 10 minutes.
For example, let’s say you picked downward dog and the cobra as the poses you’ll practice outside class this week. Start your 10 minute session in mountain pose, paying particular attention to your alignment, and relaxing as you stand in the pose. Then do cobra pose. Perform the pose four times. Completely relax between each pose.
Complete your session by performing downward dog pose, increasing the length of time you spend in the pose gradually, until you’re spending around 90 seconds in the pose.
3. Allow Yourself to Lose Weight: Forget Dieting
You gained weight gradually. You didn’t have to think about gaining weight, it just happened, because of the habits you created. Changing habits is very difficult, especially if you try to impose change from the outside. Yoga helps you to change from the inside.
Within a few days of starting your yoga exercises, you’ll find that you no longer crave fast food. However, buying fast food is a habit. You may still find yourself buying fast food even though your craving for it is gone. Don’t try to force yourself to stop. One day you would just drive right past your favorite fast food eatery. You won’t have to think about it.
Is it really that simple? Can you really lose weight with just a few yoga stretches each day? Yes, you can. The key is to enjoy your yoga, and to forget about dieting. Weight loss will happen, and more quickly than you can imagine.
Discover yourself with yoga, a gentle form of stretching. Yoga strengthens both your body and mind, and is suitable for anyone, from children to seniors. Visit Easy Fab Yoga Blog at http://www.easyfabyoga.com/blog/ for daily yoga information, tips, and inspiration.

An Easy Way To Attain Your Desires
by Song Chengxiang
———————————–
There is a hard way to get what you want, and there is an
easy way. Which one do you choose? The answer is obvious,
everybody wants the easy way, but most people are not even
aware of the existence of the easy way.
Most of us have been told, since the moment we were born,
that in order to succeed in life, we have to work hard and
struggle. It has been said “no pain, no gain“. For most
people, life is just a long series of struggles.
If that is what you are feeling, I have good news for you!
There is an easy way, which will lead to your ultimate
destiny in the most stress free manner.
Listen carefully, because this is going to determine
whether your life is fulfilling, happy and stress free,
leading to a high quality of life.
Here is the ultimate secret of the universe: “Change the
way you look at things, and the things you look at will
change.”
Pay special attention to these words. Really think about
what they mean.
Yes, I hear what you are saying. You have heard it a
million times. Everybody knows it. If this is what you are
thinking, I must warn you not to take these words lightly.
I can tell you 90% of people read these words, and don’t
understand what they truly mean. You can tell by simply
watching their lives. If you are not living a happy, fulfilled
life RIGHT NOW, I can tell you, “You are not truly
understanding these words”. Then let’s get down to a
deep understanding of this golden rule of success.
As I have discussed in my earlier articles, we are living
in a material world, which is made up of molecules, which
are made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of
subatomic particles. We have also discussed that these
subatomic particles act at our commands, they come into
existence only when we observe them.
Let’s see what scientists say about these amazing building
blocks of this world. The subatomic particle is a kind of
wave packet, which can be in the state of wave and particle
simultaneously. We describe a particle by its location, and
we describe a wave by its momentum. However, the subatomic
particle can exist as a particle and a wave at the same
time. This sounds very counterintuitive, but it is true.
Either the subatomic particle becomes a particle or it
becomes a wave, it depends on how you measure it. If you
decide to measure it by its location, it instantly becomes
a particle, if you decide to measure it by its momentum, it
instantly becomes a wave. It all depends on how we measure
(or how we observe) it.
Deepak Chopra in his new book, “Spontaneous Fulfillment of
Desires”, describes a thought experiment by Erwin
Schrödinger. Imagine you have a closed box that contains a
wave-particle, a cat, a lever, and a bowl of cat food with
a loose lid. If the wave-particle becomes a particle, the
particle will trip the lid, and the cat will eat. If the
wave-particle becomes a wave, the lid will remain on the
food. When we open the box (making an observation), we will
either see an empty bowl and a happy cat, or a full bowl
and a hungry cat. It all depends on how we observe. Before
we open the box, the bowl is both empty and full, and the
cat is both fed and hungry. Both possibilities exist at the
same time. Deepak says “It is the observation alone that
turns possibility into reality.”
The whole point is that the basic building block of the
material world acts at our command. At the very moment of
our observation, it comes into existence. We are the
creator of our world. Nothing exists without our
observation.
How does that relate to manifesting your desires? Well, it
has everything to do with manifesting your desires. Why
does our life seem like a struggle? Why don’t we get the
money we want? Why don’t we get the relationship that we
have always desired? Why is our life is filled with a long
list of never ending problems? All these are because of our
habitual way of observing the world. We have been
conditioned that what we are seeing is reality, and we
continue to live this way and continue to observe the same
things happen in our lives. Let me tell you, your reality
is not reality. Only you choose and observe it to be your
reality. As soon as you realize your own observation is the
cause of everything, then you can literally decide to
create another reality. You can decide to observe another
reality into your world, only when you choose to.
How do you do it? First, don’t let your outer world delude
you, this is not necessarily the reality. Secondly, observe
exactly what you want in your mind, observe it with
certainty and clarity, and then let it go, knowing that you
have already created your desires at the quantum level. You
simply let the universe arrange for it to come to you. When
the opportunities come, don’t forget to take action and
express your gratitude. Everything begins with your change
of the way you look at your world.
Remember “Change the way you look at things, and the things
you look at will change.”

In yoga, many experts have the opinion that breathing is more important to successful practice than perfect pose form. You already have the basic equipment to reach your goals. Remember to consciously engage your breath and be aware of your breathing as you develop your skills. When performing Asana, keep in mind that it isn’t necessary or even possible to do it perfectly all the time. Especially for beginners, this should be more of a goal, and as with any form of meditation, you should try to be mindful and have progress, but also not beat yourself up about it.
You Don’t Need Any Yoga Props to Breathe.
We breathe all day every day, and as human beings it’s something we do as naturally as fish swimming in the water. As such respiration isn’t something we think about much. So why make such a big deal about it once you start practicing yoga? To return to the fish in water analogy, almost everything that is good to a fish comes to it through water. A fish in bad water will eventually sicken and die. A fish which cannot breathe in water will most certainly perish. Good water is necessary for fish not just to grow but to thrive. Anyone who keeps fish will tell you that the number one biggest challenge to keeping fish is water quality. People with aquariums need filtration equipment.

So why are we so casual about how we consider air and breathing? We are in air all the time just like fish are in water all the time. We breathe air in and out. The air brings us oxygen, which our body uses in our brain, our organs, our heart, and blood. Air is something we all need not just to live but to thrive. Maybe you could even think of air as vitamins. You need to get your Vitamin O! Your vitamin O is being used by your body for your autonomic nervous system. So your heart rate, respiration, digestion, perspiration, and even how much your eye pupils are dilated. The equipment of your body. In addition, there is the somatic nervous system, which is the part which you control consciously. So it’s voluntary bodily movement, and sense organs. Beginning and ending.
So looking at it this way, you can see that breathing is how you bring that vitamin O into your body. It is something we need to survive. And when we exhale, waste products of our metabolism are leaving our bodies through our lungs. Our continued health and life hinges on this function. Like fish with water, air and breathing are central to everything we are.
Our breathing changes depending on our mood or situation. If you are stressed out you may breathe in a more shallow or constricted way. Others may breathe too much and hyperventilate. In another situation, maybe you’re reading in an awkward position, or slouching in a chair at work. Your breathing may be too shallow or small. Either situation needs to be remedied. To breathe as deeply as you should in yoga, you need to make sure your posture is correct. A person should not just pay attention to their posture, they should be aware of their breathing.
I wonder how it is that we don’t learn how to breathe. I guess it just comes naturally, but it is also something that is easy to forget about. When you practice, however, you become aware of your respiration, and breathe consciously, you can escape these situations where you aren’t breathing mindfully. This is even more important for beginners.
By now you’re probably seeing the connection between your mental state and the way you breathe. Scientists and physicians are aware of this connection as well as people who practice yoga. Think of the practice of breathing deeply and counting to ten when you are upset. In yoga with breathing we strive to connect mind and body. So take time in your practice to concentrate on your breathing. Be thoughtful and aware. A popular class topic for yoga teachers is breathing. You create harmony and connectedness inside and out. Visit my website if you’re interested in yoga for beginners and equipment.
Breathe deeply and regularly. Make sure your breaths are not shallow. This will improve the health of many parts of your body. Your skin will stay fresh and young. Your lungs will benefit and your heart will thank you. The different nervous systems and the brain will be nourished. Try to be a beginner every day. You don’t need equipment to do it. Mind and body will come together as one and it will be more easy to reach a relaxed, mindful state.

Healing with water is a concept that has existed for countless years. Even in ancient times, water was valued as an element that gave life and promoted longevity in humans. In modern times, drinkable water is just as important to civilization in general and our well-being in particular. Having a source of clean water is the single most important aspect to life in many respects. Now that science has advanced so far, we are beginning to further understand that there are special techniques to get more out of the water we drink.
There are various purifying technologies that can actually make water even healthier than it is normally. Healing with water has been the subject of many recent studies. Results have shown that ionized drinking water has many amazing health benefits. The basic thing to understand is that the food and drink we consume falls into two categories. We consume alkaline and acidic substances. For example, meat, coffee, alcohol, and processed foods are all acidic. If you think about it, most people actually eat lots of acidic foods, and this can be harmful to the body.

When we have to much acid in our diet, our bodies become more acidic and that leads to health problems. Lowered immune resistance, constipation, decreased metabolism, heart-burn, stress, fatigue, and other less serious problems are the most common results. For older people, the problems are more serious. Ailments such as high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disorders, and arthritis can occur when the body becomes too acidic. There are plenty of other conditions that arise as a result of poor eating and drinking habits. However, there is something you can do to counteract all this. Healing with water is the answer to many of these problems.
Studies have shown that drinking ionized water on a daily basis can help to clean out the toxins in your body and promote better health. Healing with water is possible because ionization raises that pH of tap water, adding more antioxidants. In chemistry terms, ionized water works like a solvent to break down acidic waste in our bodies. Then the toxins can be flushed out. The nature of ionization also makes it possible for alkaline ions to be absorbed faster in the body. This means that more oxygen is delivered to the blood, thereby increasing overall energy levels and promoting healing. Look for more information and resources to take advantage of the healing powers of water today.

Most people say that they want to relieve all the stress in their life. But actually, I hear more people complaining about all the stress they have in their lives than what they are actually doing or planning on doing to get the relief!
What if you knew that stress relief with EFT was not only wonderful for your body and mind, but it
helped you attract more success and abundance into your life by raising your vibration?
Stress relief with EFT is wonderful for your entire body, mind and spirit. You can release the built up tension in your joints and ligaments, relax your muscles from head to toe, deepen your meditation practice, and feel rested even after a hectic week with too much to do and not enough hours. And because of these effects of using EFT for stress relief, you will enjoy a healthy side benefit — you will automatically raise your vibration. Why is raising your vibration a benefit?
When you raise your emotional and energetic vibration, you offer a clearer message to the
Universe that says “I deserve and I am ready to embrace massive abundance in my life!”
Here’s how you get this side benefit: As I’ve written in past newsletters, the Universe “hears” our entire vibration. What we communicate with our whole mind and body is what’s being heard… So if you are way too busy, can’t slow down, and feel incredibly stressed out, your message to the Universe has too much static in it. Your abundance desires are virtually drowned out by all the stress reactions you have in your body and by your necessary attention to them. Essentially, there’s not enough room for both a fine-tuned, congruent message of desire and the “energy” of physical and emotional stress.
Yes, it is entirely possible to multiply your benefits when you use EFT as a stress relief tool. Remember that being more calm and clear will help you “communicate your message” to the Universe without a lot of static.
What is the “upside” to being so busy that you don’t even have time to use EFT for stress relief?
Are you using “being busy” as a way to avoid unpleasant conflicts in your life?
What emotions might surface if you stopped being so busy and stressed out?
The answers to these questions are for your personal reflection and may help you devise clearer setup statements for your EFT sessions. You may not believe you are using stress to “serve” you, but I invite you to consider this possibility. Once you understand why stress and being too busy are playing such enormous parts in your daily life, you can help yourself with basic rounds of EFT.
Try the EFT setup phrases below to help you eliminate the excess stress in your life and
allow more success and abundance in to your life.
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES:
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
“Even though I use being “too busy” as a way to avoid certain emotions, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”
“Even though I’m so stressed out I can’t even enjoy my life, I accept who I am and how I feel.”
“Even though I’m using stress to block out my clear vibration, I choose to accept who I am and how I feel.”
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish.
***Now for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: “I’m using being busy to avoid my feelings.”
Side of Eye: “I feel important when I’m very busy.”
Under Eye: “I feel useful when I’m too busy.”
Nose: “There are definitely some feelings I am avoiding.”
Chin: “I’m afraid to slow down.”
Collarbone: “I use being busy to distract myself from difficult feelings..”
Under Arm: “I’m afraid to slow down and really feel my emotions.”
Head: “I don’t want to stop being so busy and stressed out.”
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: “I want to slow down and get clear.”
Side of Eye: “I intend to let go of some of this noise.”
Under Eye: “I want to communicate a clear message to the Universe.”
Nose: “I’m ready to allow more abundance into my life.”
Chin: “I am willing to make room for more abundance in my life.”
Collarbone: “I choose to let go of all these distractions.”
Under Arm: “I choose to be clear and deal with my emotions.”
Head: “I look forward to all the abundance I allow in to my life.”
Keep tapping, and enjoy the results of releasing all this extra noise and distraction.
