Can you meditate your way to the perfect weight?
In this modern world we’re bombarded with advertisements about the latest and greatest weight loss pill, drink or diet. Unfortunately, excess weight is an issue for many people and it’s often more convenient to grab for an enticing diet pill vs. doing the stairmaster 3x/week.
Total health and wellness consists of 3 components: the mind, body and soul and it is vital that we take care of all 3 areas of our health. The benefits of meditation are plentiful and fortunately, meditation can aid in your weight loss journey.
The act of meditating involves quieting the mind and deep breathing exercises. Through meditation, it becomes much easier to live in the present moment and this in turn helps to reduce stress. Stress has a variety of negative effects on the body and it also plays a role in weight gain and weight loss. It’s common for people to react to stress with emotional, overating and this typically leads to weight gain.
If you practice regular meditation, your stress levels will decrease and you’ll also learn how to deal with stress in a more mindful manner.
Pairing meditation with positive visualization techniques is also an extremely effective way to achieve your ideal body image. Positive visualization is the act of visualizing your desired outcome. In this case, you would visualize something like this…
You’re walking down the beach in your bathing suit feeling fit, toned and confident. You have an abundance of energy and you’re able to experience everything you desire. Your skin is healthy and vibrant and you fell great!
Meditating for weight loss can also include affirmations. Be sure to choose the perfect affirmation that resonantes deeply with you. You might choose to repeat positive affirmations such as, “I am happy, healthy and fit and I am at my ideal body weight!”.
The great thing about meditation is that you can choose the techniques that work best for you. If you already meditate, incorporate positive visualization or affirmations into your practice today. If you’re looking to loose some weight and achieve the body of your dreams, practice meditation on a regular basis before you reach for the next product that’s flashed before your eyes. Meditation is a natural, healthy way to achieve your goals and it’s worth giving a shot.
