THINK THIN - Manifest weight loss

I've never been afraid to court a little controversy, it encourages people to think outside the box. So, I recently recorded a video for Youtube in which I mention that another use of 'the power of the mind' is to regulate the body weight; in other words to 'think yourself thin'.

If your beliefs are strong enough, they change your vibratory rate and attract things to you that resonate at that same frequency. This can apply to both good and bad things as they are both just differing degrees on the same spectrum.

"Ah yes, but attracting people or things you desire towards you is very different to changing the calorific content of food", I hear you cry.

Absolutely. However you are not attempting to change calories. What may be happening is that your changed vibratory rate (in accordance with your changed beliefs) has an impact on your metabolism or you simply start to gradually eat less as you don't get trapped in that, 'Oh Gosh I just stuffed myself with 1 million calories so I might as well keep on eating and start the diet tomorrow/next week ' syndrome.

I don't know. Maybe something happens at the molecular level of the food itself too but, I'll leave that to the scientists. What I do know is that mind power is incredible and you can think yourself thin. I have maintained a steady weight using this technique, eating whatever I like. I have many family members with completely different physicality, which rather suggests it's not a genetic blessing I have.

After recording my video I went looking around the Internet for the research to support my personal experience and controversial statement in the video. With the synchronicity that I have come to expect in my life I found an article that appeared in Newspapers around the world in Mid February . I tagged on a video slide directing people to the work of Dr Ellen Langer after reading this in the LA Times, 19 Feb 2007:

Here are highlights, the whole article (which was syndicated) can be seen here

"We get stuck in the notion that you'll lose a pound for every 3,500 calories — that weight loss is just a matter of what goes in and what goes out — and we forget about all the other components that might be involved, like our mind-sets," she says. Dr. Harvey Simon, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of "The No Sweat Exercise Plan," believes in the power of the mind and the strength of the placebo effect, but suggests that in this case the most likely culprit is a change in the women's diet. "If they're motivated, if they feel they're healthier and doing well, it wouldn't be surprising if they cut down on their calories a little bit," he says. But co-author Ellen Langer, a psychology professor and Crum's faculty advisor at Harvard, bristles at the notion that the results could be accounted for by changes in behavior that simply flew under the methodological radar. Langer is author of 200 research articles and six books and a noted expert in an area known as "mindfulness," which, simply put, is mentally focusing on what is happening in the moment. Langer believes that the act of being mindful can promote health and well-being. Research suggests that "we have more control over our health and well-being than we realize," she says, "and the bottom line is that the way to achieve this is by increasing our mindfulness" to the tasks at hand.

There has also been research into exercise that shows something else quite extraordinary; when hooked up to machines, people who sat in a chair thinking about lifting weights or running showed electrical activity, in the muscle groups in question, that matched the activity produced by those who were actually lifting or running!

In other words, except for the benefits of increased oxygen entering your lungs as a result of exertion, these results are suggesting the mind has the ability to shape the body with no physical effort.

As oxygen is the food of life, I think it would be a very foolish person who replaced their gym membership with a comfy armchair, however, it is yet another indication of our ability to change our thoughts to change our life.

If you have weight issues, either being too fat or thin, manifest a change today by using the power of your mind and unswerving belief. Don't ask how - just say Yes!
