Desire. . .
. . . one of the most powerful forces in the universe. . .
. . . that urge, hunger, thirst, or yearning that moves you in the direction of your dreams. . .
. . . a driving, creative, and passionate force at the core of your being. . .
. . .the food that nourishes your soul. . .
How can we get in touch with our deepest, most-heart felt desires? What does desire have to do with releasing weight? How can we channel the power of our desires?
Within days of my 45th birthday, I experienced my first mammogram. This mammogram resulted in an ultra-sound examination. And this ultra-sound examination resulted in a biopsy of my right breast.
In the days and weeks surrounding the biopsy, I gave serious contemplation as to what I wanted for my life. At that time, I was 45 years old, and by my best guess, I was about halfway done. The thought that my body might be manifesting cancer at this, the halfway point in my life, propelled me into deep consideration as to how I was living, what I was doing, and most importantly what I was thinking.
During this time, I discovered that I had not been living my life the way I really wanted to live it. Consequently, during the next year or so, I put a lot of attention on my thoughts--my thoughts about my body, my thoughts about what I was eating, my thoughts about being physically active, and my thoughts about my impact in this world.
As as I was considering my thoughts, I also began to consider my deepest desires--and I began a practice of writing them down, in great detail and enormous depth. This process of taking pen to paper, and writing down what I really, really wanted was one of the most powerful tools in my being able to release weight in a pleasurable and fun way. Writing down my desires for my body my life was clarifying and gave focus and direction to my weight-release process.
“We move toward what we picture in our mind,” someone said.
That is one of the guiding principals of my life.
