Pounds of Anger

This morning my very first thoughts were about food. I've spent the last 2 days eating ridiculously, and there was a tinge of fear today hoping I could eat better.  Today is my day to weigh myself at the gym.  I weigh about once every week, and honestly I'm a bit apprehensive.  I been hovering around 265 lbs for about 5 weeks or so.  I'm a little frustrated, a little fearful, and ........ not sure. lol 
 I firmly believe the weight I carry on my physical body is a result of some emotional pain, an manifestation of my fears, my pain, and my attempts and making it hurt less, whatever itwas.  So as I continue to loose weight, I watch different things surface, different memories, different feelings, and I just allow them to surface and ask God to take them. I don't need them anymore, and they no longer serve me.  Lately it's been anger.  ALOT, of anger.  In years past I expressed my anger through physically hurting myself or others, I don't do that anymore.  I bottled up the anger, I "swollwed it and held onto it".... and slowly began to "weighing me down"  We really have no idea how true some of these sayings are that we say so often ;) Just listen to yourself.  I just heard "meditate through the pain"... I like to meditate.  My best friend the other day brought up an interesting poing.... it's like once the anger or pain hit my throat chakra (the space of voice, takling, expressing emotions etc) My physical body would literally hyperventilate and pass out.... so I stopped allowing it to get ot that poin because I didn't want to pass out.  I have to open that pathway again, to allow the anger to surface from gut where it usually starts, to heart, throat, third eye, and crown.... thus allowing God to remove it.  Interesting.  It all made perfect sense to me. I'm going to do that now actually......

Passion

What am I passionate about at this point in my life, right now?

I asked myself that question yesterday as I walked, because those passions have changed. I am passionate about connecting mind, body, and spirit.  About attaining goals, and helping others do the same.  I'm passionate about overcoming obstacles, and being a better person today than I was the day before. Yoga, I'm passionate about yoga, loosing weight, and being healthy.  About having the inside match the outside, and allowing fear to be merely a motivator for postitive change and nothing else.  I'm becoming an observer of life, of people.  I'm passionate about living a life of balance free of addictive behaviors. I'm passionate about cultivating an awareness that supercedes all that I've ever known. That just is, without explanation, and actually posses an elusiveness which makes it almost impossible to label, describe, or validate. Simplicity.
I like simplicity. Maybe because I don't allow much of it into my life, lol. :) I'm okay with that.

I also thought yesterday about doing things to elminate fear.  Like truly always doing my best, and everything that is expected of me say at my job or in school.... and it will eliminate much anxiety and fear.

Well, I think I got out all I needed too.... I'm going to study at bit now :)

Namaste
