Mind Creates Matter
March 17th, 2012 | Posted by in How To Change Weight With Your Mind 
I am sitting in my Sacred Garden listening to the rain as I imagine it cleaning away my old thoughts. (Think of your negative thoughts about food and weight). I freely let them go. What if I don’t fill this space with any thoughts and see what the universe brings me today. If I do add my thoughts I will keep them focused on what I desire already manifested and let the universe figure out the details of how I get to my desired outcome. I am the sculptor and the weaver of my form with my thinking. This is what I teach in my Mind/Body program Freedom From Food: a quantum weight loss approach.
“I know that my body releases all excess food and keeps the nourishment it needs for my health. I don’t have to know the details of the intricate ways it works to eliminate excess, I just need to TRUST my body”. Patricia Bisch

Every day, I either sit outside on the deck (weather permitting) or in my home office and go through several spiritual mind treatments. (I do the spiritual mind treatments in the morning as well as in the evening). I then read something out of a book, or a daily ‘devotion’. Afterward, I just close my eyes and ‘am’, meditating for a few minutes. I then go through the list of my most important goals, read them aloud 3 times and briefly visualize them. I end my sacred time with spending some time on thinking about what I did well, or look for something I like about myself. Very often, I take this time from the time I ‘should’ spend asleep, because I don’t feel I have enough hours in the day. I am working on organizing my day better, so that I get enough sleep as well!
My schedule is different each day so I fit my sacred space time accordingly. Sometimes it is in the morning, sometimes in the middle of the afternoon, sometimes at night. Although it varies, it happens every day. I like to light an incense because that is ritualistic to me. I do the InnerChild work, read a little, listen to the subliminal CD. Now I’m adding affirmations and the blogging. I really like the appreciation things Sunny’s just written above and think I should include that in my activity too.
During our last teleclass, I forgot to answer one question (“what can you do to strenghen your connection to your Higher Self?”). I already had the answer but I forgot to share it. And that is Music. Since I got married 6 years ago, I lost track of my own connection to music. Days go by and I forget to listen to music or sing.
So for the past 2 weeks I’ve been reiminding myself about Music. And it has worked. Each time I listen to music, I feel connected, I feel happy, I feel alive and – most importantly – I feel like my own self. And if I sing along, I appreciate the sound of my own voice. To Re-Cultivate this habit is really important to me right now.
I know it may sound strange and not very “spiritual”, but it is what connects me to my higher self and all that is.
Oh, and one more thing: I’ve also been trying to have little sacred moments during the day without a plan. I mean, to just stop for a minute and look out the window, breathe, observe Nature or the sky, think of something good and positive. Sometimes one of my cats comes to keep me company and I’ll stop everything and bask in the deliciousness of his/her company for a couple of minutes, contemplating their example of perfect proportion. I find that having these little “breaks” throughout the day helps me feel balanced and centered. I hope I can keep this up forever!
I will practice this !! I have been doing quiet time — and focusing on how I would like things to be….
and now with this..to turn over the ‘trust’; and allow my body to do what she does so naturally………
quiet time will help me to get out of the way
thank you! K
One of my sacred spaces is very early in the morning usually around 4-5 am. I play the subliminal CD while I do a self attunement in bed. Afterwards,I do a body scan. By this time, the energy is alive and buzzing. I luxuriate in the energy trilling in my body. sometimes I return to sleep, othertimes I play the Inner Child CD and follow along. As I do my morning routines, I bless/thank my body, my me, while brushing and putting lotion on my body. I have just added, as I do all my readiness for the day, playing the affirmations.Then when I am all ready for the day, I am doing some mirror work. This morning, I felt very connected as I looked at myself in the mirror; I delighted at how much love I felt in my reflection. I am me AND I am very happy to be me.
Now that I’m living alone one of my sacred spaces is my bed.
When I awake I lie still and before thinking about anything I review any dreams I can catch. I go over them in as much detail as possible, still feeling them in my body. After reviewing them I think about what they are telling me. I used to keep a journal next to me and would write them down. I’d like to do that again as I often found it helpful to read the dreams in sequence, to see the patterns and the bigger picture.
I then wake my body little by little. I move my left arm, hand, leg and feel gratitude that they work (in ’91 I had a condition that threatened to paralyze my left side). I then notice my pulses, feel the beating of my heart, imagine the blood pumping through my body. I consciously breathe, feeling the air traveling through my body, while I imagine my lungs doing their job. Basically I methodically notice the different functions and parts of my body, acknowledge and feel gratitude for what’s working.
This is how I start my day.
Lovely….I am going to add this conscious awareness of my body and its functions/parts to my morning wake up–thank you!
my mom was a beautiful golfer. In golf the swing goes by so quickly one only has time for one “swing thought’. No time for anything else in there. My mom’s thought had to do with kissing both shoulders. In her back swing, if she kissed her left shoulder, she knew she turned her body enough. And at the end of the swing if she kissed her right shoulder she knew her follow through would be correct ……without having to think of every little detail of the swing.
(sometimes when I play now with my dad, if my shot goes way to the right,,he would just say –hmmm looks like you forgot to kiss your right shoulder
It is a practice now for me to kiss both shoulders on the skin — as I go to bed each night — and say ‘ I love you; (to me) ,,,and again, first thing when I wake up — I kiss both shoulders!
I have to smile reading this–it is so very sweet. Thank you for sharing it.
Karen, I love this and will make it a practice.
So much has been coming up for me these days. I think this work has reactivated my inner child’s voice. I feel she is expressing many things now that have had to remain repressed until now. I’m grateful that I’m taking the time and the care not to listen to her and to hear her unmet needs, her pain, and her sadness. When I allow it to surface, the adult me can respond to her and reassure her and hold the space for her feelings, until they subside naturally. Then a sense of peace and fullness sets in.
I mean, taking the care NOW to hear her, etc……..Freudian? Hope not. Think not.
So many comments!
Just stopped by to say I was just a minute ago in my sacred space and I appreciate the fact that I can come here and see what you all wrote. Thank you for existing, girls!
Another memory came up yesterday during inner child time. I mentioned in previous post that I am one of 11 children. The 4th from the top. When I was born I was the 4th child under 4 (and mom had a miscarriage in between the 1st 2 kids) At 14 months old mom gave birth to twins — a boy & a girl. Not so show my age, but this was 1956 when the moms spent a couple days in the hospital and the dad’s were not a lot of help with kids
So here I am, the baby — mom comes home with 2 little babies who now get the attention — and the boy who screamed the loudest gets the most attention (I was the 3rd girl, my older brother & dad wanted a boy so bad)
Fast forward a few weeks later, mom goes into the hospital for an appendectomy or something like that. Now dad…just 30 years old ..is home with 6 kids under 5 years old on his own. (He told me this story when I was 15)……as when mom went back to the hospital was when I had my first asthma attack. He didn’t know what to do so he put me in the hospital too….mom on one floor me on another. From my perspective then I probably thought mom was going away & would come home with even more babies! And I just wanted my mom – and needed to be held. I was challenged with asthma growing up — but at 15 when dad told me that story — I never had any asthma issues ever again…..Figured I responded that way because I hated my little brother & sister (kidding)……btu the asthmatic reaction was all I knew how to communicate — ‘.hey….I am here — I need to be held…I am still a baby and yes I am a girl…will somebody please show me they love me!!!”
Tip:Since the Mind creates Matter it is great to put the Freedom From Food Affirmation cards (especially the ones that are relevant to you that day) up where you can see them around your house. Then whenever you pass by them in your house and read them you are creating the very thing that you are affirming and giving your cells the map of where to go!!! Be the powerful creator you are!
Thank you for the tip, Patricia. I’d also like to share that I am currently using a free affirmation software that’s been very helpful to me. Every 15 mins it displays on the screen of my computer an affirmation that I myself chose and typed in. I use the FFF affirmations this way, I type them in the software and it displays them on my computer screen. For people who spend many hours in front of a computer, it works really well.
cool beans — thank you!
