Here’s how spiritual practitioners can lose weight, if needed, and have even better enjoyment of their bodies.
What follows, is a short summary of the material contained in Dr David R. Hawkins’ book “Healing and Recovery” – a must reading for every spiritual aspirant, and… those who desperately want to get rid of the excess weight.
Besides, treat this post as a taste of what and incredible and potentially life saving info that book delivers!

Yes, you can lose weight almost effortlessly; without dieting regimes, painful exercises and subjecting yourself to the constant regime of watching what you eat.
The process is short – it takes a couple of hours, in as many days. The results though will secure the benefits that will last for a lifetime.
The technique is based on the discovery that a shift in the state of consciousness occurs during the process of eating, and then a person overcomes it quite easily. What follows is a permanent weight loss.
The important point is to give up dieting and resisting eating. The same goes for using will power – don’t rely on it, as its level of energy is at the bottom of the level of consciousness (LOC) scale at 125, and means overcoming resistance. Instead, use willingness, a positive and powerful energy at level 310. Eventually, you’ll end up approaching the level of happiness at 500 and become a joyful being, feeling great about yourself and your body.

How does it work in practice?
Whenever you feel hungry, don’t resist the feeling. Ask for more of the feeling, and immerse yourself in it. Don’t label the sensation you’re experiencing as a “hunger” or “craving” or anything else. When you experience the desire to eat “because it is the dinner time” have the willingness to experience the oncoming feelings, without actually acting on them; which means experiencing the sensations without satisfying them right away.
To even further weaken your eating habits try eating when you’re not hungry, and outside of your usual meal times. This will result in you becoming reprogrammed. You’ll let go of resisting and to disappear appetite and hunger. Then, your world is free of the eating cycle – you have transcended it.

Finally, I encourage you to read the book in its entirety. You owe it to your Self.
