How to
Love this Feeling......
“Instead of resisting any feeling, the
best way to dispel it
is to enter it fully, embrace it, and see
through your resistance’.
Dr. Deepak Chopra |
|
Reading this Module just once and then
forgetting about it is no good. You must think about it. Spend
time on it. Reflect on it.
Don't force yourself to believe the
conclusion it reaches ......but you must
be willing to at least consider it
as a possibility.
Then you must be willing to
apply the techniques
described here in your life
with an open mind so that you can test
their effectiveness for yourselves.... |
Let’s
say you have started your new weight-loss regime,
and you’re doing fine.
It’s a Tuesday night – and your friends are
visiting you – and they start to eat a lovely
pizza.
Naturally, you want to eat some of it too- but
you have promised yourself you won’t.
Your friends had offered not to eat the pizza
because they knew you had changed your eating
habits – but you
said, “No it was fine- they could have one. You
didn’t mind.”
But looking at them, of course you would like
to eat some.
Now, ask yourself:
"What will you REALLY feel if you DO fail and
eat it"?
Afterwards......., you’ll actually feel bad,
depleted, even – ‘empty’, as if you have let
yourself down.
You’ll also realize a strange thing: That you didn’t really
need to eat it – yes, it was nice, but you
realize you could easily have done without it.
You realize a vital important idea:
|
You really didn't
need it to get by and
enjoy
the evening. |
The Root
Cause
What really happens in cases like this?
People will say:
“I just wanted it. I just
didn’t care – I just had a terrible urge to
eat it and to hell with everybody and everything.”
But….what would have happened if you had
denied yourself that piece of pizza?
Yes, for a little while, you would have
felt a little
- Empty
- Frustrated
- Angry
- Even victimized (Why me? They can
eat it – why can’t I?).
For the first week or two, you would sense a TEMPORARY empty craving, like a
empty hole in your belly.
You would feel that you are depriving yourself
of something important – but, of course.......
The
truth is you are not, and in a few minutes, this
craving or feeling will go.
If you didn’t eat the pizza on that night, you succeed
because ....
(1) you ‘saw’ through the illusion of
the pizza
.....and (2) because you did not fight, hate
or resist this temporary, empty feeling that you
got when you couldn’t eat it.
Seeing through
the illusion!
Here’s a simple experiment you can carry out
when you are alone.
Break off a piece of the pizza and put it on a
plate.
Now, bend down and really look at the pizza.
Zoom in on it.
Notice EVERYTHING
about it.
The colors, the textures, the aroma, the shapes.
Now break that piece of pizza into an even
smaller pieces and now crumble them up.
Now zoom in on these pieces even closer so you
are literally face-to-face with them.
Imagine you are a human
telescope
Now….as you do this and get closer and closer
to the flake of pizza....... you’ll soon start to realize this
pizza is just pieces of non-descript flakes and
crumbles- just lots and lots of coarse, empty flakes.
In fact, if you went further, and looked at
these flakes through a telescope, all
you’d see would be molecules and atoms, and then
at an even deeper level, you would see nothing but
empty space!
In truth, your pizza is just a dancing
field of
energy, made up of dancing electrons, and empty
space! |
Suddenly, when viewed from this perspective, the pizza starts to lose it’s
awesome power to ruin your evening –if you can’t
eat her.
You begin to think: ‘Why do I let what is
essentially an empty
field of dancing molecules of energy CONTROL
my evening with my
friends?
Why do I think I’ll feel terrible
if
I am
deprived of devouring this empty energy with my
friends? |
For the next 21 days, pick a
selection of your old comfort foods and begin to
see them in this new true light.
As they really are. Beyond
how they have been packaged.
We need to remember we have all been
literally brainwashed
by TV and the massive food companies into
believing we need these foods to be happy. To feel
good and to feel comfortable. To enjoy
ourselves.
But this is .......
A
con.
A
massive con.
They have created processed
foods and through subtle television and
NLP mind altering techniques - made us emotionally
dependent on these foods.
Yet the cure is simple.
Every day, try this simple experiment of seeing the
food you think you need to be happy - as it really is
so that you can
get a ‘full’ picture of the food.
You need to take time to SEE and go beyond the ‘surface’ of
the food and see it as it truly is.
Yes, it will take a while for this
understanding to grow and to be internalized– but as it does, you’ll
no longer feel bad or deprived as your friends
stuff their mouths!
You'll
realize the GREAT NEWS: That YOUR
HAPPINESS is not
dependent on stuffing this empty coarse energy
into your body.
That
you can be happy and
content if you decide
not to eat the pizza or fast food!
|
However.....
This does not mean you can’t enjoy a
pizza now and again, if that is your choice.
Doing this exercise will simply help you to
realize that these comfort foods are no big
deal.
They are really nothing!
They are just empty energy and they have
NO
POWER to control or dictate your
moods -
IF
you
see them as they REALLY are. |
So don't get sad or upset if you can't eat them
now. In truth, as time passes, you'll realize that
you are missing out on nothing - ONLY
your past illusion that your happiness was in some
way tied to them.
It wasn't. That was a
massive con by the food companies to get people
addicted to all their high-profit, lifeless, dead,
processed soulless food. Next time, you
feel yourself falling for their con, remember:
"Heck, deep down, it’s
ONLY a ‘field of electrons dancing in empty
space’. I can enjoy it now and again, if I
choose - but it can't control me - or
make me sad or unhappy if I decide or choose not
to eat it.""I'm
FREE!"
