Do I eat too much? Is it because of my lack of activity? Could it be hormonal as I am in my mid-40s? What is my problem and will I overcome it?? Soon?? I get so frustrated with myself and beat myself up mentally. Help! Jennifer Sieck: Spirit is saying the less you focus on feeling bad and the more you focus on how you would like to feel the more quickly you will be able to make the changes. That material (body weight) energy is slow and low vibration. So, don’t beat yourself up if you mess up. That will only make you feel more weighted down. See your body in your mind’s eye as healthy, whole and strong. Visualize it this way every day. As for the changes, I see you needing to eat more whole foods (that is food that comes from plant sources.) Lean fresh chicken and fish would be good too. And start taking evening walks as well. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. And don’t hang out with anyone who encourages comparison. Spirit wants you to know that if you focus on how you would like to see your body and visualize it that way while changing your diet and stop belittling yourself for things that have happened in the past, you will find it is possible! Whatever you do DON’T beat yourself up or shame yourself at all if you get off track. If you do these things faithfully to the best of your ability, you will help see a stronger healthier body and spirit in the mirror. Many blessings to you Jill! Lucia Bonilla: I pulled three cards Jill. You’ve let your thoughts control your actions big time. You have love and support around you, but you seem to have let what you think is ‘right’ control what you do. Your commitment to yourself will bring you the changes you want, but it has to be for yourself and not what you think the world wants. You can’t worry about what the world thinks you should look like. You have to love yourself as you are first, before you can change what you look like. Make the commitment to you…to what your body feels like, then to what it looks like. It has to be done for yourself. So you slip a day…big deal…regroup and begin again. Check with your doctor, then make sure you start the weight loss journey for yourself and no one else. You can succeed!!! Blessings! Denise Divine D: Hello Jill. There’s no need to be frustrated. Mental stress is as much a contributor to weight gain as lack of sleep. Take a look at your overall lifestyle. I feel the matter sits in your gut. This is also the home of your solar plexus. Your solar plexus rules your confidence and self-worth. It also houses your spiritual ‘umbilical cord’ to Source. Know that you are good enough as you are right now. This will allow you to take on the journey from a place of self-love. Focus on digestive detoxing through lemon water, magnesium, fiber rich foods, whole grains, and protein. Green smoothies are a great way to kick start your body to craving more of what it needs. Try your best to get a green smoothie in every day or every other day. It will set you up for success as you move throughout your journey. Keep your heaviest meals in the morning and afternoon as well. Your body needs to wind down with lighter meals at night. Getting plenty of sleep will aid in the rest of your weight loss as your natural systems take over. Erin Sights: HI Jill, Weight gain is a physical form of body armor and protection. Look to where your weight is mostly and the chakra for which it is located. What in your life do you feel you need protection from? Changing the way you think and the thoughts about the weight etc. will help bring the weight loss. When you no longer need the armor, it will undress itself. Nurture yourself with walks in Nature and embrace the beauty around you and within you. You are beautiful and deserve to be free. Your life is now just beginning. Pamela Cummins: My guides are saying – yes to all of your questions. I heard Olivia Newton-John sing, “Let’s get physical,” saw you eating salad, and heard Janis sing, “Cry baby.” Obviously eating healthy and exercise helps. But let go of emotions, negative thinking, and issues, too. Mystic Mandy: I hear the words “Stop trying so hard” and using my health cards, I draw “burnout” and “emotional exhaustion.” When we burn out or are stressed out, even mildly, the system and metabolism may start to slow down slightly. The adrenals become taxed. The thyroid can start to go into hypo mode, or we can have blood sugar issues, or have cravings for starches or sugar etc. They also say “wheat” so maybe you have an addiction or sensitivity to it. Asking what to do about it, I draw “Don’t worry about it” and “Gratitude Journal” (maybe because stress is making it worse which I draw “anger issues” – likely at yourself). Rather than try to control your thoughts around weight (which keeps you stuck in control mode, impatient and stressed), my guides want you to focus on finding ways to “find more joy in life.” As for exercise, I hear the word “walking” and draw the “travel” card, so maybe walk more places rather than taking the car etc. Elaine Fessey: Hello Jill, The feeling I get here is that the weight you carry is emotional in its origin. You feel unhappy and sometimes overwhelmed by responsibilities. Weight can gather across certain areas of the body as a form of protection, like wearing armor. Healing the issues that make you feel ‘heavy’ will allow the weight to gradually disperse. Good luck! Kimberley Simon: As long as you beat yourself up over it, the weight will cling. You can’t free it up to release it as long as you hate your body and yourself for being overweight. Do what it takes to begin to love, appreciate and listen to your body as it is, right now, or you’ll yoyo or stay stuck. Some tips, and you’ll have to force yourself to do this, perhaps. 1. In the bath or shower, as you wash your body parts, caress them and send them love and appreciation… your feet for carrying you through the day, your belly for its support, your hands for their creativity and abilities, etc. No judgment… just find appreciation. 2. Slow down and start listening to your body’s intelligence/wisdom. When you come home and want to hit the fridge, take a glass of water and sit down for a few minutes. Sip the water and ask, “What do I really want to eat to satisfy you, my body?” Wait for the answer. It may surprise you or the water may be what you really required. 3. Don’t dismiss what you ARE doing already… exercise includes movement of all kinds. Do you garden? Clean your home? Walk at all? That is movement. How can you add a bit more movement into your day? What would feel good to you? A dance as you dust? Music as you prepare dinner? Parking a few spots away from the shop door? Walking a bit further than usual? You choose and enjoy adding to it and making it more fun for you. 4. Lighten up to lighten up. Self-care matters. What have you ignored or put on the back burner that you’d like to do? What are you holding yourself back from, blaming it on your weight? No excuses… bring in what feeds your soul and make choices that honor your body. One thing at a time. Small steps. You deserve to love yourself enough to do this for you… and you’ll have much more to give to others as you connect with your own self-worth. Much love to YOU! Enjoy the exploration. Su Davey: I drew a card Jill, it was nurture yourself. I feel you are being too hard on yourself. When doing housework, put on some music. It’s a fun way to clean the home. Look in the mirror into your eyes and say I love you, it’s not easy in the beginning, but keep doing it. Focus on the good parts. Love and Light Question: From Melinda: Is my husband’s health ok or will I be left alone? Erin Sights: Melinda, we are not physicians and I would recommend seeing a doctor, which I feel you have already done so. Is there something with the left side from the heart down the leg…getting a feeling about a meridian line on that side. Please do not take this as a medical advice though, for like I said, I am not a doctor and do not diagnose. I do feel you are stressing over this and please take care of you. Caregivers are guilty of not finding time for themselves and often get burnt out. Pamela Cummins: I heard diet. I am also feeling stuck negative energy that are unresolved feelings and issues. My guides just said, “Up to him.” I also got a vision of a man dragging a horse to water. Prayer is what I am hearing. My guides are adding that everyone is given several opportunities to exit our physical state and it is free will to choose which one. They are reminding you that you are never alone, surround yourself with Angels, guides, and heavenly/Earth loved ones. Belle Salisbury: Hi Melinda, losing a loved one is always one of our greatest fears. We feel we could never survive without them. But, what we find within ourselves is the inner strength to continue with our own life path. None of us can predict ones passing. That is up to God and the soul to decide. Either way, let go of the fear of loss and rejoice in the time you have shared together and embrace that in the now moment. Make each day count! Elaine Fessey: Hello Melinda, Your husband has been overdoing things. He is not listening to his body and needs to rest and eat healthy food. You are far too stressed over this and you both could do with taking it easier. A Dr. can help with a regime to assist with any health issues, but this can’t help if he won’t take some time out to rest. Try to spend time together talking in a positive way. Thoughts act like drugs and a positive attitude can make you both happier whatever situations you are facing. Sending love and healing. Question: From Erin: Hi, will the situation with my son’s father improve? I don’t like giving up, especially with children involved and genuine love, however, I am also not naive. I made a choice to step away… Ball is in his court… Is there any hope? Thanks. Pamela Cummins: I heard patience and the song lyric, “You got to know when to fold, know when to walk away, know when to run.” That means to stay in the moment and listen to your intuition on how to proceed with him. I see someone struggling trying to crack a walnut shell. LOL – he is a hard nut to crack!! Donna Putrino Cantone: Hi Erin, I asked the angels and they know you are in touch with your truth for this situation. They want you to trust your gut instinct and lovingly assert yourself. You already know the answer. There may be some emotions on your part since you feel unsure of your decision. They ask you to call upon them to strengthen your faith and courage and they will bring this situation to a smooth resolution for all. Denise Divine D: Hello Erin. You will see some fresh starts ahead when it comes to your son’s father. It will be a slow and steady process though. There’s some internal work that needs to be done. Your heart can easily break when it gets too attached. Pull your emotions into nurturing your own life and being. Broaden your views to look at the long term goals. 2015 looks quite nice when it comes to the overall energy between everyone. May 2014 shows the first glimmers of improvements on the way. Elaine Fessey: Hello Erin, This is a delicate situation. Your partner feels easily rejected and will misread many of your actions and words. You both need to reassure the other that love is truly there between you. Take your time to do this. Both can help the other to become clearer and happier. There is real hope here so long as you continue to reassure and strengthen your bonds.  Much love. Mandy Peterson: I hear the words “Let go and let God.” Sometimes through not letting go, we end up stressing and not feeling good enough. The waiting isn’t good for you. It’s too confusing. I hear “release codependency.” So, just move forward and live your life without having an expectation either way. I think there are some energies that are tripping you both up. For him, it says “Patience is necessary, needs time.” and “Is very attached to you, just trying not to make it too obvious.” He looks shut down and not wanting to open his heart. It says “not interested in a relationship, still dealing with the past” for quite a while. While possibilities for a reconnection, and even more show, they don’t seem that stable and lots of conflicts show. I draw cards of “leaving/ending” and “break up” into 2015, and with these, I also draw for you “A new love opportunity yet to present itself with someone else.” For 2015, I draw the card “someone better coming in.”  As for the father of your child, I just draw cards that he is someone who is not supportive enough for you. I draw cards of “lacking” what you need and needing to unburden yourself of his issues. Something looks blocking your relationship having to do with other family members as well.
