Abraham: NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS – Esther & Jerry Hicks
Abraham, translated by Esther Hicks, responds to a question from a woman has tried every diet, done every exercise, and still cannot lose weight.
Sidestepping the usual – and often frustrating – approaches to the problem, Abraham lays the foundation of a mental attitude that brings to bear the power of Law of Attraction to create the most effective technique ever presented for losing weight.
Excerpted from the 2 hour and 20 minute program “Think And Get Slim: Natural Weight Loss” which is available on DVD and CD from Abraham-Hicks.
Recorded September 8, 2006 in San Antonio, TX.
Esther & Jerry Hicks are the authors of numerous books based on the Teachings of Abraham and their latest book, “Money and The Law of Attraction”, reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
For 20 years, Esther has translated blocks of thought from “Non-Physical Source Energy” – which she also identifies as her “Inner Being” or “Soul” – and who refer to themselves in the plural as “Abraham” (no relation to the Biblical figure).
Esther doesn’t use the word “channeling” to describe her process, but understands if others do. For more information, please view our YouTube video entitled “Abraham Explains Who They Are”, or go to http://www.abraham-hicks.com and listen to the audio entitled “Introduction To Abraham”.

Obesity Has Caused Soaring Numbers Of Diabetics
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported on a new study indicating self-reported diabetes has soared in the past six years. They also state that obesity is the primary reason for this dramatic increase. Groups that have an increased risk are older populations, poorly educated, and minorities. Minorities show a predisposition to developing diabetes, more so than white Caucasians. The initial study was done on a regional basis; the newest study included the entire nation. The results were alarming, and the CDC are concerned there will be increased problems on the horizon.
This trend was investigated and it was determined the cause was not as a result of better detection. The ratio for those diagnosed with diabetes remained within the normal age range. They did not find diabetes in the rise among the younger and healthier population. Scientists believe that fasting glucose tests are more accurate for diabetes diagnosis than oral glucose-tolerance tests. The studies did not demonstrate a higher rate of stroke, heart disease, hypertension, or other chronic diseases. Diabetes alone has emerged as a major health concern. It is the sixth leading cause of death from complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and blindness.
Receiving a diabetes diagnosis does not automatically cause people to make a better effort to get in shape. In fact, the opposite is true; the generation suffering from diabetes is also the most obese. In our current culture and society, it is simple to sit in front of the television and snack, eat too much during mealtimes, and purchase fast-food that is high in fats. An adult merely needs to lose between five and seven percent of their body fat to reduce their diabetes and heart disease risk. A 200-pound person would require only ten lost pounds to see benefits. An increase in exercise level, striving towards 30 minutes a day of moderate activity will have good results.
A moderate lifestyle change will not only help reduce the risk of diabetes development but also will benefit your health in countless other ways. Exercise also has positive benefits for heart problems, circulation problems, osteoporosis, as well as many other health concerns. Moderate walking and mild stretching routines are a good way to initiate a healthy exercise regimen. It is important to consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program. Your doctor will be able to guide you as you are starting out and give you helpful ways to begin. Studies have indicated that even slow walking, instead of the recommended brisk walk will offer many benefits. Gentle exercises for strength or yoga routines are good ways to start a new exercise program. It is also beneficial to try parking your car farther from the store in the parking lot when you go shopping. This adds a few extra steps to your daily routine and, if you do it consistently, the steps will add up. You may even want to begin marching in place during television commercials. One woman who began doing this has reported improved feeling of well-being and more incentive to eat healthy and to get more exercise.
Healthy eating, more exercise, and improved body care will help decrease your diabetes risk.

Starting Yoga – Classes Or Dvds?
There are various DVDs and videos on yoga, usually with an instructor who takes you through many different exercises and breathing techniques. Although they can be great in the sense that you can practise in the comfort of your own home and fit yoga around your usual routine, a good teacher can make a huge difference in how well you succeed. DVDs and videos are great as supplementary materials later on when you are more confident and have learnt and received guidance from a teacher.
There are many different types of yoga and many styles of teaching. Shop around and find a yoga type and teaching style that best fits your needs. You should also consult your physician, and let your teacher know if you have any health problems.
How to find a good Yoga teacher?
Finding a good yoga teacher is like finding a good doctor or hairdresser-you have to ask around and then try out a few different people. Also, ask the instructor plenty of questions:
Is the yoga being taught vigorous or gentle?
What is a good class time for beginners?
Should I bring anything, like a yoga mat, or is that supplied?
How much is each class?
Where was the teacher trained? (Most teachers should have 200 to 500 hours of training.)
How long has the teacher been instructing?
A good teacher will try verbal instruction before using hands-on adjustments. Demonstration by a teacher should only be done when is necessary. A teacher performing poses can’t possibly watch what you are doing. The class is for you the student. You need a teacher who can react to your individual needs and guide you in to the correct poses. Asking before class about prior yoga experience, injuries, etc is an indication that the teacher is attentive to your needs.
An important aspect of yoga is that it is non-competitive. Students work at their own ability level, being sure to respect the body and its limitations. You should never go beyond what is comfortable and reasonable and a good yoga teacher will help you determine what is appropriate for you in each pose.
Classes can also be a fantastic way of meeting new people in a friendly relaxed environment.
