Shut Down the Inner Dialogue

Empty yourself of everything.

Let the mind rest at peace

The ten thousand things rise and fall while

The Self watches their return.

They grow and flourish and then return to the source.

Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.

The way of nature is unchanging.

Knowing constancy is insight.

Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.

Knowing constancy, the mind is open.

With an open mind, you will be openhearted.

Being openhearted, you will act royally.

Being royal, you will attain the divine.

Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.

Being at one with the Tao is eternal.

And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.

Weight-Part-1-Women-and-Breakfast-Cereals

One of the main reasons why women cannot meet their body composition goals is that they have been brainwashed into eating “healthy “ breakast cereals, as part a “great start of the day”, which in fact leads more to laying down serious lard, clogging your arteries, and making you pre-diabetic.

This a typical conversation that I have with a Health Conscious Female Client (HCFC) during her initial consult.
CP: What do you eat for breakfast?

HCFC: I always start the healthy balanced breakfast
CP: Enlighten me.
HCFC: I usually have a bowl of healthy cereal like shredded wheat, in skim milk of course, and half a banana sliced into it.  To avoid the evil saturated fats you know I am health conscious you know. Or either a low-fat bagel with margarine and honey on.

Two. Most cereal brands have a glycemic index that ranges from 60 to 110. The glycemic index is a measurement of the type or quality of carbohydrates in a particular food, and how fast 50 grams of this carbohydrate raises blood glucose levels, (and consequent insulin secretion and effects produced by the pancreas) as it is digested.

•Porridge (Oatmeal) 60
•Muesli 60
•Special K 70
•Honeysmacks 60
•Sustain 66
•Cornflakes 76

Please note that there are no difference between Honeysmacks and oatmeal in terms of glycemic index.  As a rule of thumb, when seeking fat loss you do not want to eat foods with a glycemic index of above 50.

Three. Skim milk is horrendous if you want to lose fat.

Four.  Bagels are the ideal food of choice to get a butt that qualifies for its own zip code. It has a glycemic index of 72!  It so good at increasing blood sugar, that a study done on long distance cyclists showed that bagels are superior to Power Bars at raising blood glucose. And they are easier to chew those poor substitutes for a hockey puck.

Five. Margarine is for dorks. It is typically good at spreading arteriosclerosis. No pun intended.

Six. Honey may be more natural  than some high fructose corn syrup laden jam, it is still a simple sugar.

HCFC: But skim milk is low in saturated fat!

CP: So is Napalm.  Skim milk certainly has a low glycemic index, but it has a high insulin index. Now when you combine a high glycemic food with a food with a high insulin load, you are asking your body to increase your cardiovascular risk factors and to age prematurely.

CP: Actually the box it comes in is more nutritious. Rats fed the box, lived longer than the ones who ate Kashi.

HCFC: What if I switched to organic box cereal?

CP: Worse, yes it may have more protein, but the protein is also denatured. Hence, you are more denatured protein than it the standard one. A great way to induce more long term brain damage. Lovely!
HCFC: I am so stupid.

CP: You are not stupid, just misinformed by mass media. Being misinformed does not make you a bad person, just a misinformed one. Even Oprah gets misinformed.

HCFC: I feel so guilty.

CP: Feeling guilty is useless. My lawyer David Horowitz once told me that guilt was invented by the Jews, and perfected to a science by the Catholics. My Jewish colleague Moshe Berkowitz was born Jewish and raised Catholic. He used to bring an attorney to confession.  I am a recovering Catholic myself, so I know how you feel. Please do know that feeling guilty is forbidden in my office. Lets move on.
HCFC: What should I eat then?

CP: Very simple, before our meeting tomorrow, do me a favor, and go on my website and read the following article on the meat and nut breakfast:

About Dr. Guy Voyer

“The Pursuit of Fitness Knowledge. The first thing you should know about Voyer is that he has been a successful athlete. How successful? Not only did he compete at an elite level in soccer, skiing and gymnastics, but he was also an Olympian in judo. Voyer affirms that his sporting career has had tremendous influence on his work and that being an athlete himself is key in his ability to provide the best care for athletes. Voyer has nearly 35 years’ experience working with athletes, and for 25 weeks of the year he travels to various parts of the globe to give seminars to coaches and healthcare professionals. Voyer began as a physical education teacher; One of the most interesting aspects of Voyer’s life work is his understanding of the fascia. His research into the properties of this tissue has enabled him to develop special exercises that will improve posture and sport biomechanics, prevent injuries and even improve athletes’ ability to recover from workouts. What is fascia, you ask? “Think of fascia as the inner skin of the body,” explains Voyer. In other words, fascia is the tissue that connects and shapes every muscle, organ, blood vessel and nerve. Of particular importance to athletes is the fact that fascia envelopes and intertwines with the fibers of muscles and therefore plays an important role in determining the range of motion of each joint. In effect, if the fascia is abnormal or injured, an athlete will never achieve optimal levels of flexibility, strength and power, no matter how much static, PNF or dynamic stretching he or she performs. His knowledge of the fascia system has enabled Voyer to develop two revolutionary forms of sport fitness training: myofascial stretching aGuy Voyer is a hands-on instructor.” Kim Goss, B.F.S.

Healing Meditation: RELEASE YOUR FEARS by Lilou Mace

STOP — MEDITATION OF THE WEEK

Just as you have the impulse to do something, stop.

You can try it anywhere. You are taking your bath ― suddenly order yourself to “Stop!” and stop. Even if it is only for a single moment, you will feel a different phenomenon happening within you. You are thrown to the center and suddenly everything stops ― not only the body. When the body stops totally, your mind stops also.

When you say, “Stop!” do not breathe then. Let everything stop…no breathing, no body movement. For a single moment remain in this stop, and you will feel you have penetrated suddenly, at rocket speed, to the center. And even a glimpse is miraculous, revolutionary. It changes you, and by and by you can have more clear glimpses of the center. That is why inactivity is not to be practiced. Use it suddenly, when you are unaware.

For example, you were going to drink a glass of water. You have touched the water, the glass ― suddenly stop. Let the hand be there, let the desire to drink, the thirst be there inside, but you stop completely. The glass is outside, the thirst is inside; the hand is on the glass, the eyes are on the glass ― stop suddenly. No breathing, no movement, as if you have become dead. The very impulse, the thirst, will release energy, and that energy is used for going to the center. You will be thrown to the center. Why? Because any impulse is a movement outward. Energy is always in movement ― either going out or coming in. Energy can never be static.

Remember three things…. One, try it only when a real impulse is there. Secondly, do not think about stopping, just stop. And thirdly, wait! When you have stopped, no breathing, no movement ― wait and see what happens.

When I say stop, it means stop totally, fully. Nothing is moving, as if the whole time has stopped. There is no movement ― simply you are! In that simple existence, suddenly the center explodes.

Raw Organic Virgin Coconut Oil has a hundred uses for health and home

(NaturalNews) People who really know about health know about virgin coconut oil. It’s the oil of choice for health-conscious people, and it’s used in everything from smoothies (delicious!) to personal care products. You can use coconut oil both inside and outside your body.

It’s even useful for cooking because coconut oil has a much higher temperature tolerance than even extra virgin olive oil. Its fat molecules stay intact, in other words, at higher stovetop temperatures, so that makes it safer for use as a cooking oil. It’s also widely used in raw foods recipe as a stabilizer and source of delicious plant-based fats with their own unique nutritional properties.

Virgin coconut oil is 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8% myristic acid, and 8.2% palmitic acid, and it’s composed mostly of medium-chain-fatty-acids (MCFA). MCFAs are widely regarded as extremely useful for providing sustainable energy due to their molecular structure. Many bodybuilders and athletes rely on MCFAs as a key part of their high-performance diets.

I’ve been an advocate of organic virgin coconut oil for years, recommending all the top companies such as Nutiva (www.Nutiva.com) and Vivapura (www.VivaPura.net). They provide outstanding coconut oil products that I use myself on a regular basis

Appreciating Your Physical Body

The greatest art form that exists on this planet is the human body – a magnificently structured temple of sacred architecture. Are you grateful for your body? Some people are but most people take this wonderful gift for granted. Many people complain about the shape of their body – I’m too fat, too thin, too short or too tall. They spend a great deal of time in front of the mirror focusing on what they perceive as imperfections of their body rather than focusing on its magnificently balanced perfection. Being grateful for your body and for the multitude of its powerful gifts can make the difference between experiencing wellness or illness in your life.

One of the reasons why some people beat themselves up about certain areas of their bodies is because they are comparing themselves to a fantasy of a magazine cover they think they are supposed to look like. After working with thousands of people, I am convinced that for every part of our body we don’t like there is a part we admire. If we are putting ourselves down in one area I can guarantee we are proud of another area. We may not like our thighs, but we admire our eyes. We may not like our thin hair, but we admire our skin. We may not like the shape of our body, but we like the shape of our lips and our smile and so on.
