“Hello? Anybody home?” I think we just got disconnected.
The fact is that today most of us have lost connection — the connection with ourselves, our inner power and with other people. When the body is treated as a separate system from our mind and our soul, then permanent weight change cannot occur. Typically, the attitude of Western science has been that our inner being is independent from our bodies, that is certainly one of the reasons obesity continues to be an issue.
Our fast-paced lifestyle has had a negative affect on people’s weight. It’s not just “keeping up with the Joneses” — today’s economy forces both mom and dad into the work force — this separates them from their family, friends and a sense of community, leaving them feeling unfulfilled. They have a sense of emptiness. This can create the need to fill up with food, then diet — starting a cycle of loss and gain.
A better solution is to create time in which to reconnect to ourselves, our family and other people. We must choose to re-connect, and find the love and positive energy that will allow us to feel satisfied from our body to our soul. By connecting with the mind, soul and body, we can maintain a better balance for health and well being.
