Are you busy trying to detox your body? Don’t forget to detox your brain!
“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.” – Buddha
This time of year countless fad diets are floating around, coaxing billions from people turning to miracle foods and supplements to detox their body and lose weight. Makes sense. You are what you eat, right? Healthy is as healthy does?
Growing up we were told food and drink are the building blocks for a healthy body. Taking a daily multivitamin was considered de-rigor for maximum health – until recently. Medical journals such as Annals of Internal Medicine recently blew the lid off that theory when they published studies concluding multivitamins don’t work any better than placebo pills.
So it turns out, you are not what you eat.
Well here’s something to chew on. You are what you think you are.
There’s no point in making other lifestyle changes until you detox your brain! Toxic self-talk will keep you trapped in a cycle of negativity, creating stress and dis-ease until disease manifests. I’m sorry to say no amount of healthy smoothies can negate that, my friend.
But I know something that will.
Forty years ago Dr. Maxwell Maltz’s ground-breaking book Psychocybernetics proposed that a person can’t perform better or worse than what they believe to be true. Since then, further studies in neuropsychology concluded we have the power to change our lives through our innate ability to change our minds.
Only you have the ability to change the way you think and feel about yourself. It’s relatively easy to affect change in your life, but first you must stop wasting energy listening to critical inner dialogue and reprogram those internal conversations.
We think constantly, day and night, but up to 85% of those thoughts are habitual and no longer serve you.
Affirmations, on the other hand, are thoughts you deliberately choose because you want the results they’ll produce. They’re a powerful tool to help you replace negative mind chatter with beneficial thought patterns that can change your life, and they work hand in hand with visualization.
Affirmations should always be phrased positively, in the present tense. For example, “I love and respect my healthy body now.”
Set aside time each day to focus on your goal, using all your senses to imagine it just as you wish it to be. Then, while holding the image in your mind, say your affirmations silently or aloud, or write them 10 times. If negative thoughts arise, release them before returning to your positive thoughts.
Don’t think affirmations can work for you? Quell that doubt by writing “my affirmations will work for me whether I believe them or not,” 10 times a day for two weeks.
Recognizing your thoughts create your reality puts you in the driver’s seat of your life. Like a GPS, affirmations and visualizations will ensure you get where you want to go, every time.

Yoga for weight loss? Sounds like a bit of a (ahem) stretch, doesn’t it? I mean it’s not like running a marathon, or taking a high intensity cardio program at a gym, so logically may not be the first weight loss activity that springs to mind. But it can be an effective tool to have in your tool box nonetheless. Here are 7 ways yoga can help you lose weight.
- Though it’s a gentle form of exercise, yoga still is an aerobic activity. Your muscles are working constantly for the whole class, (except for savasana the final resting pose) lengthening and strengthening and doing core work (except for savasana the final resting pose)
- Yoga reduces binge eating because it teaches you to be present and deal with the emotions that cause overeating
- Yoga helps you stop gaining weight. A four year study showed that people who participated in yoga one day a week lost five pounds. Those in the group that didn’t do yoga gained 13 lbs
- Yoga lowers stress hormones and increases insulin sensitivity, signaling the brain to burn food for fuel rather than storing as fat.
- Yoga teaches you to love and accept yourself as you are now, regardless of your shape and size. This loving acceptance will help you stop punishing yourself with bad food choices that lead to weight gain.
- Yoga encourages you to love your body for all it does for you rather than despising it for not currently conforming to your view of what it should be
- Yoga’s inward focus makes you more aware of how your body feels throughout the day. It has the power to shift how you feel and think about your body which can stimulate other positive behavior, such as eating when you are hungry (not when the clock says to) and stopping when you are full rather than continuing to eat till you are over full.
So there you have it – 7 ways Yoga can help you lose weight. With the added bonus of helping you love yourself more! Yoga anyone?

Have you had your power water today?
Drinking Water:
- Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids
- Can Help Control Calories
- Helps Energize Muscles
- Keeps Skin Looking Good
- Helps Your Kidneys
- Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function
We are 70% water, so small wonder it has such an impact on us. But why just drink water when you can drink Power Water!
Masaru Emoto, featured in ‘What the Bleep do we know?’ is a Japanese author best known for his claims that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water.
After years of research, Emoto concluded that high-quality water forms beautiful and intricate frozen crystals, while low-quality water has difficulty forming crystals.
Emoto demonstrated that positive changes to water crystals can be achieved through prayer, music, or by attaching written words to a container of water. The beautiful image to your left is a water crystal from a container that had the word ‘Love’ on it. In his experiments, water with words like ‘I hate you’ on it had distorted, ugly images.
Why not put his research to work for you?
Follow these simple steps to get the most from your water:
- Fill a 2 liter glass jug with the highest quality water you have access to
- Tape the words ‘Love’ or ‘Joy’ to the container
- Hold the jug and project thoughts of love and gratitude to it
- If you know Reiki or other energy work, send that energy to the water
- Select a special glass to designate as your personal water glass – crystal preferably
- place crystal bracelets around the glass (or around a plastic water bottle)
- Use what ever crystals resonate with you, but if you’re using a plastic water bottle, be sure to include an Amethyst bracelet to purify the water of any toxins from the plastic.
Every time you drink, say ‘thank you for this water’
With this practice, you will continue to reap the benefits of gratitude as well as the myriad benefits of drinking more water – and, depending on the crystals you choose, you’ll be infusing the water with those qualities as well.
I find that adding a bit of ceremony to something I normally would take for granted encourages me to drink more, and feel special doing it! Try it, and it’ll do the same for you! Let me know how you make out!
Love & Light, Alexandria

September, for me, feels more ‘new year’ than Jan 1. It triggers the urge for action; the ideal time to assess goals and decide what to start, stop or continue.
Is it time for a new diet and exercise regime? If so, which one? For many of my clients this is a big question. With so many choices, how do you know what’s really right for you?
I want to share how you can use the most powerful law of the universe to your benefit, because the truth is, unless your actions align with your predominant thoughts and core beliefs, you’ll just be spinning your wheels.
The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like; everything is energy, and things of a similar vibration attract to each other. Everything begins as a thought which, when thought upon more, becomes a powerful creative force drawing more thoughts that match it.
If continued, this energy will expand and you’ll begin to notice conversations, circumstances and events that match it also. And while taking action is absolutely part of the law of attraction (built right into the name), to have the kind of effect you want they must be inspired actions that feel good to you.
Forcing yourself to do things you dislike won’t get you there! You must either adjust the action, or the way you feel about it.
Let’s say you’ve decided to lose weight this fall. For many this means harboring critical thoughts about their body, feeling fat, daily weigh-ins, taking measurements, and chastising themselves for each perceived failure.
If this is your focus, guess what you’re attracting? More of the same. More punitive thoughts, more reasons to feel fat, more opportunities to judge yourself not good enough.
No amount of exercise is going to turn that around for you, my friend. Forcing yourself to jog will not net the results you want. Consider instead the LOA-friendly method – take time to connect with yourself through quiet contemplation. Flow love to your body, listing all the things you adore about it exactly as it is now. Appreciate how great it is to be here having a physical experience, with all that entails. Delight in your senses and all they allow you to do.
Thinking of your body as your companion through life with its own consciousness, ask what it needs from you to keep it in peak condition, being open to receiving the answer in whatever form it comes.
Maybe it would like to try a different approach to eating. Perhaps it would like more exercise, but prefers yoga, walking or swimming to sweating it out at the gym. Give it what it wants, and the resulting good feeling will radiate out and return with many more positive feelings and life experiences.
Everything responds to love, and deliberately loving yourself more will do more to promote health and longevity than any other action you can take!
