The Mayo Clinic DVD, Wellness Solutions For Weight Loss, also recommended yoga and part of the DVD features yoga with Rodney Yee. Last night I was too tired to make it all the way through my dance routine so I split the time between two of my chosen activities (see: the President's Fitness Challenge) and got out my yoga DVDs. On the DVD Fat Free Yoga with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett I stumbled into a meditation for healing emotions. "If you can feel it you can heal it" says Ravi as he lead me through feeling sad, fearful, and angry. After feeling each emotion we then cleansed and healed them with the mantra SA TA NA MA primal Sanskrit meaning birth, life, death, rebirth. None of these scary emotions were hard for me to reach.
Emotional EatingOne day last week after an unusually stressful time at work I picked up take-out from the Thai Restaurant in town. It's fairly healthy food. I got rice, veggies and chicken curry. I usually get the double portion so I have both my lunch and my dinner taken care of but that day I went right home and ate the whole thing. I hardly realized it until it was gone. This is the crazy part about the weight issue and it was addressed by the Mayo Clinic as a critical aspect of changing your life and losing weight. Yoga is recommended because it not only heals the physical body but helps to heal stress and other emotional challenges.
