BEING strong does not mean YOU will not feel weak at times..
Being strong does not mean YOU will never cry when your HEART mourns…
BEING strong does not mean you will not be moved by the tests of others…
BEING strong means within, YOU carry STRENGTH and KNOWINGNESS of who you are and your abilities and YOU allow this GREATNESS to spread BEYOND yourself.

Learning that there is FLUIDITY in LIFE and learning to ride this FLOW can transform your circumstances instantaneously. There is BEAUTY and MAGIC in FLOWING with ALL that exists. You gain WISDOM in KNOWING what is meant to be and what is not.
Forcing any given situation does not make the circumstance flow. Force interferes with the NATURAL currents of LIFE resulting in a lack of FULFILLMENT. Knowing that there is a difference between FREE flowing ENERGY and forceful energy gives you the wisdom to choose knowingly with the flowing currents of life or against it. It is a CHOICE.

We are all a product of where we place our focus. BEING CENTERED in LOVE does not mean you are unaware of the world around you. It means that while sitting in a space of LOVE you can observe from an unattached place without dwelling and focusing on what is considered negatives in LIFE. Each person is made aware of each bit of information needed for GROWTH at the PERFECT and DIVINE time..This can be spiritual or worldly.
When or how you see fit for another person to become informed is not for another to decern or judge. ALLOWING others to be and live exactly as they are in each MOMENT helps ONE ( the observer) to open up and accept themselves as they are. TRUTH will always APPEAR when one is ready.. Judgement of one based on what you think is right for you shows a need  to take a closer look at your  life and see where you judge yourself and do not accept yourself. As well as, it is a reminder that in order to be a better person we must at some point focus INWARD  and better the INNER REFLECTION and INNER CONNECTION of ourselves.

People who wish to lose weight and are not
seeing results. There are a few reasons for this…

Learn the equation to a successful weight loss. Here is some of this information in short.

♥♥♥  Short term goals are
needed to reach your long term goals but if all you have are  short term goals then all you will receive are
short term results.  The short term goals
should set the pace for the long term goals.  Start small to lead to the bigger goal.

♥♥♥ Pay attention to
what you are putting into your body. When you make purchases, you are known as
a consumer. Take the time to read the ingredients, the calories, the carbs, the
fat, etc. and learn how they affect the body.

♥♥♥ Put in the work.
Exercise. This is part of what it takes to get you there. Regardless of  how busy life appears to be, set time for
yourself to exercise. There is 24 hours in a day. So making time 3 days a week
at least for 30 mins to an hour is a must. It takes Devotion and Motivation
from you.. it is inside of  you so pull
it out :0)

♥♥♥ The reason why you choose to lose weight should be for no other
reason than for you to become a better you.
Choosing to lose weight for other reasons such as another’s perception
of how you should look to please them, or any other reason forced that is not
stemmed from you will not last.

♥♥♥ Incorporate a LIFESTYLE change not a temporary one.

♥♥♥ BELIEVE IN
the power of YOU.  If you believe and see/VISUALIZE
your body at is desired weight and hold that image in your mind with a FEELING of
LOVE, APPRECIATION and GRATITUDE for few minutes every day you will reach your
goal.

♥♥♥ Reward yourself for the progress you make each week.  A HEALTHY
LIFESTYLE is not extreme.

MODERATION… If you have access to itunes look for Logistics of Leanness Defined there… My second Booklet on this topic .

You are validated. You need not look anywhere but inside yourself. There are only two Beings that need to VALIDATE who YOU are in TRUTH
and LIGHT. These BEINGS exist INSIDE of YOU because they are INTERCONNECTED.
Seek validation not from those outside of yourself but from SOURCE/GOD/DIVINE
or any other name you choose and your inner SELF  known as the SOUL/SPIRIT ect. It time to live
your life fully knowing you are in control and by allowing others to approve of
who you are or your actions gives them power over you. YOU are filled with a
great and DIVINE ALL LOVING ENERGY unmatched by ALL other than that of LIGHT. By
knowing who you are and living in this TRUTH  YOU EMPOWER yourself and others to do the
same. Your BEING… your existence is VALIDATED. Find your TRUTH and come to know
this truth as REAL because it is.

Namaste and LightNLove,

1. The straight legged ab crunch*
This exercise is the only ab exercise I do not rotate out.
Lay as though you were performing a standard ab crunch exercise. Instead of having the knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, your legs will be parallel to the floor. This means your entire body is straight and flat on the floor with the toes pointed to the ceiling. Come up as you would in a standard crunch, face towards the ceiling while squeezing and using your abs to pull you up. Not your neck :0) Exhale on the upward movement of the crunch and inhale on the downward or back to start position movement of the crunch.
I interchange the count of the squeeze or hold at the top of this crunch from 1 second holding at the top to 5 seconds… Yeah feel the burn haha

2. Flat bench knee ups *
On a flat bench, sit towards the end of the bench with both hands holding the bench at the sides, resting your body weight on your bum. The only body parts touching the bench are your buttocks, and your hands. Your knees will be together and bent
Start with your knees in at the chest, then lower your legs still bent at the knees to either one of these positions or alternating between the two each round:
a. Touch you heals to the floor
b. Lower your legs to the floor stopping a couple of inches before reaching the floor.

Now bring the knees back up toward the chest and if you are able to actually touch the chest with your knees, do so. Squeeeeeeeeeeeze and hold for a count of 3 seconds then back down. Breathe in on the knees coming up to the chest and out with the stretch and movement of the feet touching the ground.
Love this one too… interchange the count again here 1-3 seconds

3. Flat bench straight leg pull in*
Again another bench :0). You will sit towards the end of the bench with both hands holding the bench at the sides, resting your body weight on your bum, lower back. your legs are going to hang over the bench straight out, together and either the toes pointed straight in front of you or flexed pointed to the ceiling. To start lower your back enough to where your elbows almost but not quite touching the bench with the legs straight. (if your middle back touches the bench you are too far back). Now Pull the legs in towards the chest while simultaneously lifting your lower back off of the bench to meet your knees in the center. You are squeeeeeeeezing in this movement as well as exhaling. Hold for a count of 1-5 seconds then releasing back to start position. Inhales are performed at the straight legged position.

Well there you have it. The 3 ab exercises that developed this stomach for pictures on the 23rd. Before any exercises consult your doctor. I assume no responsibility on attempts of doing any exercises I mentioned. Enjoy!

There is much in life for ONE to learn. The WILLINGNESS and OPENNESS to breakdown what YOU were taught and believed to be TRUE is what is needed at this time. We ALL come from a place of ONENESS and are not separate from ONE another, though we choose different experiences at different times in each MOMENT. You cannot be separate from that which YOU are. In each EXPERIENCE, each action ONE chooses affects many more than just the self or the obvious players in LIFE. Remember GROWTH…. Expansion of ones’ MIND,BODY and SOUL are in relation to what lesson each individual needs, as well as ALL as a WHOLE. Lifes’ bigger picture is YOU. Know who YOU are and start from scratch.RE-LEARN your TRUTH, who YOU are and your important impact on the world .That KNOWLEDGE, that LIBRARY is INSIDE of YOU. Happy New Year.

If in each moment you were to love a little more than before…
If in each moment you were to give more than the moment before…
If in each moment you were able to forgive a little more….
If in each moment you were able to accept a little more…
If in each moment you were just able to be in a better state of awareness…

Do u think this would bring you to the understood state of wholeness that you have always been? ahhhh I think so my friend, at least a little closer.

In LIFE YOU persevere from  proving those who tried to place limitations on you wrong against ALL odds. LOVE and FAITH supersede all boundaries placed on you by man. Trials in your LIFE are not there to deter YOU but to make you STRONGER by showing YOU your GREATNESS through presenting your weaknesses and strengths. This allows you to utilize your STRENGTH by showing you how to overcome your weakness. In the GRAND scheme of LIFE both the weaknesses and strengths are needed in BALANCE. TRUST that YOU are able to persevere through all obstacles in LIFE. YOU are the DIVINE personified. YOU are and will always be LOVE. Tap into to your ONENESS connection. It is through this connection that ALL is made available to YOU.

PEOPLE are VALUABLE yet they place value on the materialistic. What you have in front of you can never compare to what you have INSIDE of YOU. The TREASURE has always been YOU. You are not apart from it you are ONE with it… You seek the emotion of HAPPINESS and wonder why you cannot find it. HAPPINESS is more than an emotion. HAPPINESS is a state of BEING. Everything  you ever DREAMED is waiting for you to recognize it. First it must be found INSIDE of YOU. The springs of LIFE’S GIFTS await you through the JOURNEY of the INNER SELF. Once found its RADIANCE OVERFLOWS outward into your world. Stand STILL. Close the eyes and BREATHE. Breathe the breath of LIFE for the first time every time. Within this space you will come to know TRUTH, the TRUTH of who you truly are.
With great LOVE and GRATITUDE to you ALL
LIGHTNLOVE,
