Hello Dear Ones,

Summer has begun and with it some people worry too much about how they are going to look in that bathing suit. Whether you are truly overweight or just stressing about how you look, it’s time to stop the self-criticism.

It’s important to realize that all of our actions are designed to meet a need. Oftentimes, being overweight is caused by insecurity, self-rejection, and fear of our own feelings, while overeating is usually an attempt to love and nurture ourselves with food. The original problem may very well stem from childhood beliefs and choices. Once seen and addressed, these outdated beliefs can be released for new ones that serve us now as complete and perfect adults. Filling our minds with pleasant thoughts is the quickest road to health.

Start today by saying these affirmations and posting them somewhere in your home:

I love my body exactly as it is.
I am my perfect weight.
I am my perfect size.
I eat only when I am truly hungry.                                                                             
I am drawn only to foods that truly nourish my body.
I eat slowly.
I savor every bite.
I love to eat.
I release the fear of food.

Chewing every bite thoroughly, I stop the moment I am full. I drink lots of water and herbal teas. Every bite I eat is easily assimilated in my body. Food flows through my body with ease. Every morsel I eat rejuvenates my cells. All the food I eat energizes me. I breathe deeply as I eat and digest. I eliminate any excess with ease. I love to exercise. I love walking briskly. I have respect and a high regard for myself. I balance my life around work, rest, and play. I support, love, and accept myself unconditionally. I am happy and peaceful beyond my wildest dreams.

Enjoy the summer!

Elder’s Meditation of the Day - April 7

“Women. They have the power of generations. Women have the power to have children and not to have children.”
–Cecilia Mitchell, MOHAWK

The Woman is not only the key to life; she is also the key to future generations. An Elder once joked that the Woman only needs the man for one night. We need to look at and respect the power of the Woman. She is special and we need to treat her that way.

Great Spirit, today, let me show the greatest respect to our Women.

It is not the most important to increase man’s awareness. It is far more important that we women know where our place on this planet is. We still have a lot of inner work to do in order to implement this wisdom into our daily life. And there is nobody to blame. The moment we are  fully “enlightened” regarding our status in society the outer world will treat us differently.

“Even if they are gone, our mothers are never gone from us. If we search our internal landscapes, we find them-sometimes etched as delicately as a watermark, sometimes as deep as an engraving. Our mothers stand behind us at the mirror, trail our footsteps, tap on our shoulders. If you burrow under the surface of any woman, you will find what her mother thought about her.”   Patti Davis

The older I get the more my mother (already passed) comes to my mind during different situations in my life.  Mothers have a great influence on our lives, always.

What is your experience?

Who are your models for the qualities of your femininity?

For me it was for the longest time my mother and my sister who is many years older than me. Unfortunately femininity was never a subject to discuss in our immediate family.  So I turned toward my aunt who was a story teller, traveler, the first divorced women in our entire family and more or less the black sheep. Later I understood that she modeled for me freedom; and still much later through a lot of reading and observing many different people I painted my own picture of  the qualities of the feminine.

What are your qualities for the feminine?
