Since I am always on the search for ways to be healthier, when I found the book "Theta Healing Rhythm for Finding Your Perfect Weight," by Vianna Stibal, I knew I had found a winner. It was a fast an easy read which kept my attention right away.
This book wasn't just about losing weight; it is about a journey within your mind. At first I was looking for a the gimmick it was trying to sell me on how to quickly lose those last few stubborn pounds, but what I found was something which has truly been able to turn my whole thought process around.The book, in a nutshell is about finding your perfect weight by changing your beliefs. Remember though, it says nothing about being skinny or being fat. Whatever you are comfortable with is perfectly fine. The lesson in this book is found a little bit deeper. It is about finding out what kind of person you are, and loving that person regardless of what size you are.
It is common sense to realize you can't lose weight without limiting your food intake and without participating in some kind of exercise. But what if you could trick your mind and your body to thinking everything you do for it is something beneficial and good? That is what Theta Healing is about. Yet my first intention of reading this book was debunking a myth. After all, how do you lose weight by just thinking about it?
This book itself does not sit alone, even though it can be used by itself. Personally, I think belief work takes time to get used to, and this is a little on the advanced side leaving me confused at the very beginning. However, by the time I got to the end, I felt comfortable in my abilities to be able to perform a small level of belief work myself. However, author does have other books available if you would like more information on the subject.
Even alone, this book can be useful. It opens your mind up and really makes you think. It teaches you how to love yourself, love the food that you put in your body, and even trick your body into thinking you did exercise while driving in the car. Amazing? Right?
It will take time, but the power of the mind is a powerful one. How many times have you told yourself that you gain 5 pounds just looking at that brownie? Well now that you have implanted that thought into your mind, chances are good it is going to happen. But if you tell your body you can have that treat and not feel guilty, it probably won't effect you. If you tell your body to reap all the nutrients from the food you are about to eat, your body will do what it should by taking advantage of what you put in your body.
Of course, everything is better in moderation, but this book will help you get along with your body and your feelings toward food.
For me it became a personal journey. All the negative talk I have had in my head for years, has finally found a way out. I am not a new and transformed person just yet, but this book really made me think. I realize I have a lot of work to do on myself so I can become happy with who I am. And ultimately, it isn't really about weight loss at all. It is about the person inside me.
Who would have ever thought I could have pulled so much out of a book looking for a quick weight loss fix?
So if you are feeling a little down on yourself, this is a must read. It made me think hard about what I wanted out of life and let me dive in a litter deeper into my own personal feelings. But I will admit, if you are just looking for the quick weight loss fix, this isn't for you. Reading this book will not take off the pounds itself. That is something you will have to do on your own.

Excellent review and sounds like a fascinating book!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a fascinating book. Although I will admit, I don't believe it will really help me lose weight. Darn it... I still need to work out. But it was beneficial in so many other ways! :)
DeleteHmmm...that sounds very interesting. I'd be curious to see how it sits with you several months down the road. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I also like books like this. I was watching "The Talk" yesterday and they had an author on who had written a similar book. She talked about how everything was connected. From eating healthy, to exercising (doing what you like - hiking, dancing, whatever), to being organized - less stressed, to sleeping properly, to having a good sex life. It made a lot of sense. I'd love to read the book you just mentioned. It sounds very inspirational! :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the theta stuff: I do meditations to theta rhythms, actually. So yeah, I'm into books like this, too. :) Cool!
