DoctorsTV, Oz, Oprah and the End of Diets
We’ve watched hundreds of episodes over the years and most of the doctors on TV, including Dr. Oz are now going where Oprah went today. It is definitely the ‘End of the Diet Era’.
It is the time for the adoption of a healthy Lifestyle which integrates health, wellness, and Well-Being for Body, Mind, and Spirit. This has been what we have established in the 1970’s and more of us are coming on board this bandwagon and Way of Life every day. It is the most reasonable and natural way to approach a fulfilling and meaningful Life, rich in experience, full of joy, and enhanced with numerous contributions to the evolution of the Human drama.
We know that many of you have tried diet after diet with mixed results, but when those of you who give up on a losing battle pursue the changes needed to embrace a healthy Lifestyle…that’s when your success is ensured and realized. When you stop living as if you are cheating or treating yourself, instead of enjoying every day immensely for the pure satisfaction it offers; then you’ll be ready to make that leap. You’ll never diet again.
You will reach your ideal weight. You will regenerate your body and eventually design it in healthy proportions. You will rejuvenate your health and sense of Well-Being. You will develop healthy relationships with food, drink, people, and especially SELF. You will wake up each day refreshed and renewed and ready to create a marvelous and magnificent day!
Oprah mentioned the word, but missed the essence of the message of the author she interviewed who wrote the book with the great title: Women, Food, and God.
Oprah: My beautiful woman, it is all about POWER. The wise and intentional use of one’s personal power. The awareness of the abuse and misuse of power by others. The management and sustenance of power within your Body, Mind, and Spirit to create mastery in your Life. This is the time to design your Life by yielding one’s power with love, joy, and balance.
The balance of power will spill over to bring balance to the way you approach food. It will change the way you interact with other people. It will allow you total and complete freedom of Being in the Third Seal and beyond.
Eventually, we’ll discuss the power and energy in each of seven seals. But for today, let’s focus on the balance between Victim and Victor, the weaker and the stronger, the defeated and the winner…the balance of power. When you are in a state of balance within yourself; then you will carry that balance into your relationships. Power will be shared and respected…
When you are in control of the food and drink that you put into your mouth and body; then you begin to understand the subtle mechanisms by which you manage your own power issues. Any emotion that condemns, shames, blames, fears, angers, humiliates, or in any other way diminishes your true Inner Beauty is the lack of personal empowerment. When you attempt to force or exercise control or influence over other people’s choices and behaviors; then that is the excess of personal power from a social perspective. It is still an imbalance.
When you enjoy your own personal freedom and you respect others to make their own choices freely; then the power is shared and respected from individual to individual. Inherent within this type of relationship, balance allows the dance of energy to bring resolution and growth to each person. Power is to be used with wisdom and grace in this dynamic state of relative BALANCE.
So…begin with FOOD. Find Balance and you’ll never diet again. You will eat with integrity and be true to yourself. You will know and appreciate Love of Self for the very first time in your Life. Then it extends to others…and from there…to the world.
