You might already be familiar with Dr David Hawkins, author of ‘Power vs Force’. In this book he writes about the different
levels of human consciousness and the energy levels of certain emotions. This map of consciousness calibrates levels of emotions between 0 and 1000. Shame being calibrated at 20, guilt at 30, apathy at 50, grief at 75, fear at 100 and so on.
Power first appears with courage, at 200.
Neutrality calibrates at 250 and willingness at 310.
Love calibrates at 500, joy at 540.
As you can imagine, if you are carrying around a lot of heavy emotions then you are likely to feel weighed down and it may come as no surprise then if your body takes this on as physical weight also.
I remember going through a period of intense grief and while allowing myself to release the feelings which came up, my body was releasing in many ways, including shedding 6 kilo’s within a week, even though I wasn’t eating any differently from before.
I exercised regularly and loved to go running, however, I often got cramps around 20 minutes. During this grief period I suddenly felt something shift within and from then on I ran effortlessly for 40 minutes to an hour and loving it.
My weight remained stable for years and it was as if I had settled in at this set-point. No matter what I ate, much to the annoyance of one of my friends who said she put on weight by simply looking at food!
Then I left my job with the airlines after 15 years…to step fully into my healing and coaching work.
Slowly but surely, the pounds crept on. Wearing a uniform all those years had been a great way to notice
if my weight was fluctuating and if my skirt was tighter then I’d just skip a chocolate cake on a night flight and
it would balance out again.
So… what was going on? With all the security of my job gone and my finances taking a nosedive I had set myself up to bring my deepest fears to the surface to be healed… It was as if the contents of a secret vault inside myself had been opened and wow…did that come rushing out! Just when I thought I had cleared up all that shame, guilt, anger, sadness, doubt and whatever else was there, deeper layers seemed to emerge.
As I was dealing with so many upheavals all at once, focusing on my weight was not a priority as long as my clothes still fit;)
However, it just so happened that Grant Connolly, creator of ZPoint, had been presenting a few general 21 day series and I had really enjoyed them. Then the thought occurred to me to start presenting some 21 day series also and the topic of weightloss was in demand. A few years prior I had given some energy classes at a gym for those in a weightloss program so I already had all the material. Now it was just a matter of setting this up and committing to it.
Attending and presenting bring up entirely different opportunities to stretch and grow! While attending Grant’s calls, I could always listen later if I had other things on at the live class… now I had to be present every day at the same time, no matter what. It took my connection with my Self to a completely new dimension. Even though the classes were addressing weight release on a physical level as well, it was the deeper emotional clearing which took place which was so magical.
Participants shared that this was way more than ‘just’ a weight release program.
Yes, pounds dropped off, however, that was like a bonus compared to the increased joy and confidence we were all feeling. And loving ourselves as we are, accepting who we are and where we were at…
Recently I have been receiving requests from people to present these classes again. I was feeling some resistance in getting the logistics worked out so kept on postponing. Then I realized my jeans were a bit tight again so perhaps that resistance was about something else…
Anyway, I am feeling inspired and am getting ready to set up the dates and announce the classes.
Time to let go of some other stuff, whatever it may be;) That’s what I love about working with modalities such as ZPoint. It is easy, it clears whatever is ready to be cleared and then we fill up with more of the light and love of our essence. And whatever is connected to holding onto physical weight can be released simply by giving ourselves that gift of taking time to connect every day for 20 minutes.
So….
Can you imagine yourself at your ideal weight?
What is that weight? Have you made a note of it?
And have you ever been at that weight before?
What happened the last time you were at your ideal weight?
And, what would you be focusing on if you didn’t spend time worrying about your body and your weight? About food? About exercising or not exercising?
Stay tuned for the dates and get ready to feel lighter in all ways;)
joyful blessings,
