Visualization for Weight Loss -The Gabriel Method

Part II: Nonphysical Stresses that Activate the FAT Programs

Embrace your life’s destiny!” When we said good-bye and Gina walked away, she looked shell-shocked. She was in a daze of realization. This is a common theme. If we fail to follow our hearts, obe- sity is often the result. Yearning causes emotional starvation and activates the FAT Programs. There’s a simple rule to follow. If you have something that you’d like to do, long to do, yearn to do but are afraid to do—take the chance. DON’T WEIGHT ! FOLLOW YOUR HEART! Oftentimes, the situations and people in our life that are caus- ing the most stress and pain are there to remind us that we are not following our heart. This can come in the form of an angry boss at a job we hate or an abusive partner in a relationship that is not working. If you are afraid of the changes that will happen in your life as a result of following your heart, that’s natural. Just surrender to the changes, letting them happen. Don’t resist them, don’t tense up; just relax and allow them to happen. You are follow- ing your heart, which means you are finally having the experi- ences your soul desires. This also means you are getting back on the right path and living your life’s purpose. The universe is ready to reward you. There will be a transition stage as you move from where you are not supposed to be in life to where you are supposed to be. It’s awkward, but you can’t avoid this stage. Just like after surgery, there’s a period of time when your body is healing and you may feel some discomfort. But surgery can save your life and so can following your heart. Anytime you experience any transitional discomfort, just relax and say these words to yourself: “This is my heart’s desire, and I allow these changes to take place in my life.” The changes that took place in my life when my body was transforming itself were substantial to say the least. Allowing those changes to take place was the single greatest thing I have ever done. The rewards have been beyond my wildest expectations.
