The strongest guiding force is within us


For many of us who have struggled with our weight, it’s common to think we are broken, messed up or just plain wrong. When we believe these unsupportive ideas we get trapped into looking to experts and professionals to find the answers we need. This can turn into a never-ending quest to find out how you can make the changes you want. It’s important to be discerning of the experts you turn to and always allow yourself to feel whether their information seems supportive of you and your goals or not. Just because someone has a professional title does not guarantee they will be able to help you.

Gina and I know that the most valuable information available to you is within you. The only way we were able to shed our excess weight was by learning how to go inside of ourselves and find answers there. We teach women how to go inside and access valuable information within themselves that they can use to create powerful change. 

For example: Being able to find your true desire behind wanting to shed excess weight is a powerful fuel to harness while slimming.  This inner fuel of desire enables people to pursue their goals with commitment and sustained vigor. We also teach women how to tune into their body to know what, when and how much they can eat to slim 1kg every week without dieting. It’s also important to live true to who you are; authenticity provides us with a profound level of vitality, a sense of ease and energy. Once we have slipped into our natural space of authenticity, you’ll find yourself eating less. When we aren’t living true to who we are we can fall into the trap of mistakenly using food to energise ourselves.  

We have learnt to trust ourselves and strive to live authentically. We encourage you whole heartedly to deepen into:

Trusting yourself to know what you truly want to eat (give yourself permission to enjoy all foods)

Trusting your bodily cues (feelings of hunger and satisfaction) to know when to eat and when you’ve had the right amount of food

Trust yourself to follow through on your intuitive promptings

Trust yourself to speak your honest opinions and views

Trust yourself to back yourself up, to support yourself no matter what

Shakti Gawain wraps up today’s blog beautifully, "On this amazing human journey of ours, the strongest guiding force we have is right within us."
