Thought Power &
The Law of Attraction
in Body Matters

Any idea what stressing about your hated body does to your biochemistry and your health? This is what the diet sleuth in me investigates in detail in The Joy-Filled Body . I promise you'll find this fascinating!

Ongoing stress (even a lack of sleep the body reads as stress) puts your sympathetic nervous system on constant alert, secreting stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

Stress hormones are known to impact on blood pressure, sugar levels, triglycerides, heart health and other important health indicators... they also impact on our weight.

Interestingly enough it's these same health indicators that we are constantly told are caused by weight itself.

So let's assume that two people have exactly the same body shape and size but one looks at herself in the mirror and thinks: "You're fat and disgusting" and the other person thinks: "Thank you body of mine for all you do for me." How does that impact on their health?

If you who haven't watched 'What the bleep do we know' or read Dr. Candace Pert's books I'd highly recommend them.

• stress about every morsel passing your lips, your molecules of emotion cascade through your system, affecting not only your digestion but how your entire body, including your immune system operates

In particular, in The Joy-Filled Body, I point to research that shows that having healthy thoughts is a really great way to boost your immune system. Did you know that when you have angry or hostile thoughts (like those many of us have constantly about our bodies) you:

• decrease the white blood cells that help your body fight infection, • you inhibit natural killer cell activity (that can kill tumour cells) and • you reduce your salivary IgA which are the disease-fighting antibodies found in our saliva.• feel hopeless, despairing and lacking in self-confidence and when you tell yourselfyou're the

We can be healthy at every size so long as we have happy thoughts and healthy lifestyles. We can be unhealthy at every size too

Yeaaah! Finally....something makes sense!

Our ongoing thoughts are literally busy building or breaking down our body. Thought by thought our body is being formed! Thought power is powerful. If you want to change your body - change your thoughts.

When you change your thoughts not only does it affect your internal biochemistry but an active healthy lifestyle becomes easy instead of difficult.

There's a good reason that
