Transforming Your Biz Through Alignment

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

Kinesiology = identifying core cause of imbalances preventing alignment through muscle testing.
Best kept secret of multiple 6 and 7 figure entrepreneurs.
Living in alignment – what we say, think and do are congruent.
We feel stuck because we are getting in our own way.
Even if we understand on a conscious level we need a deeper level congruence for things to flow.
Muscle testing asks the body, your subconscious, your higher self what it needs and bypasses the ego and the logical mind.
Kerry walks us through her process to align to the goal “I’m 100% aligned to allowing wealth.”
Chakra card = Brow perceptions – how I perceive wealth.
Imagine what it might be like if you were 100% aligned with allowing wealth. How does it feel?
Join us for a round of tapping and experience what it feels like to be in alignment with your goal.
Follow inspiration and take actions to support your goal. When you’re in alignment you naturally take inspired action.
“I’m 100% aligned with taking the right marketing actions.”
Money, connecting with the right clients, time, boundaries, self doubt, fear, pricing are common challenges of entrepreneurs.
Pushing is generally a sign you are out of alignment. Stop and listen first. Respond to the messages you get.
Take a pause – what is the message this group of people need from me. Get into the hearts and minds of your ideal clients.
If our thoughts + beliefs not congruent with what we want we’ll come up against blocks.
Different stages of business can bring up different barriers but we can still hit the same challenges as we grow.
“Am I allowed? “Do I have permission?” “Who am I to have this?”
Kerry shares how she navigated through a dramatic marriage breakdown and her business remained solid and continued to support her without added stress.

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Use the Conception vessel 24 acupressure point to integrate -Hold your index and middle finger on your chin right below your lips. This point is about success, failure and overwhelm.
Self Care is key! Get outside, exercise, eat well, take breaks and get enough sleep.

Your Chakra System: Accessing Health through Alignment

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

John of God – a trans-medium who channels 30 benevolent beings.
How Laura was blessed by John of God to use a John of God Crystal Bed.
The crystal bed sends colored light through quartz crystal onto the 7 chakras.
She scans and identifies major imbalances like inflammation, stuckness
- Right side of the body = masculine/father
- Left side of the body = feminine/receiving/mother/sister
- Hip = root chakra/fear of moving forward
- Teeth = throat chakra/speaking up, speaking your truth, standing in your power/water element
- What was going on 2 years ago when that issue started?
Physical/mental/emotional/spiritual – like 4 wheels on a car. Your wheels need to be balanced.
Everything happening in your physical body is your soul trying to get your attention – you are ready to heal an emotional issue or belief.
- Breast cancer/heart problems/heart attack – heart chakra
- Asthma – unresolved grief
- Pay attention to pain…Ask intuitively what needs to be healed here?
- Forgiveness work is about healing yourself and letting go of that old toxic energy.
Laura believes all illness and body issues can be healed.
Where it’s located in the body is often associated with that local chakra
- Back of the body = lack of control over a situation, the past
- Front of the body = future
Empathic people have weight problems because of taking on everyone’s energy.
- Overweight = holding weight to protect self or ground.
You need to be grounded to be most intuitive. When you are out of your body you are more prone to accidents
Adrenals = Root chakra = safety, security growing up, support system, first family, beliefs we made as a child
- What was the message growing up? Working all the time, always room to grow, practice makes perfect.
Get grounded everyday, ask lots of questions and learn to trust your intuition.
Laura walks us through her daily meditation to get us back into our bodies.

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Start each day with a grounding meditation keeping in mind the four areas – physical + mental + emotional + spiritual being in sync and balanced.

Ask questions of any body pain or illness – What does this mean? What needs to be healed here?

Stop Waiting on the Weight

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

How ‘living her life’ was always 10 lbs away.
Once Sarah quit dieting she realized how limited her life had become “My life was the source of my misery”
She started filling her happiness pool and lost a lot of weight naturally, she no longer needed to use food to fill the void.
Our experiences growing up and the messages we received about out weight.
Spirituality fit into the weight loss equation? is where we can get grounded and experience magic. It gives us more texture.
The feeling of fullness give us the experience of the depth of our core. The physical feeling of connecting with our core.
The density of food can be misused to ground your energy.
Waiting on the weight – waiting to date, waiting to get a new career, waiting to live your dream life…until…you have something (husband, perfect weight) = leads to feeling empty.
How incorporating joy into your life and living your life can bring you everything you want without waiting for it.
Get into the flow of your life and start asking for what you want. It’ll start coming in with ease.
When you gain weight, your body is reflecting something you need to focus on. Ask your inner self questions:
- “Oh honey, do you need something?”
- “What’s the matter?”
- “What are you really worried about?”
Identify what you inner critic sounds like and you’ll learn how to discern it from your higher self.
It gives you something to reach out to in a time of help. Literally just say out loud,
- God (insert: Universe, Inner Guide, Soul, Allah, Buddha, Nature), I need some help here. I am about to eat an entire thing of ice cream, part of me wants to walk away, but most of me wants to devour it, and I don’t think I will be able to stop, I’m scared, can you help me? Can you make me walk away? I cannot do this alone, I put it in your hands.”
Having a spiritual practice helps ground you and makes you feel safe and protected during the vulnerable times in your weight loss journey

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Are you waiting on (weight, partner, or something else) before you live your ideal life? It’s time to start living. Start doing those activities you have stopped doing because you’re waiting for something to happen.
Think of something fun, easy, that’s fun + spiritual, write it on a note and put on your refrigerator. When you are going for food to feel better do the activity instead.
- Paint your nails
- Pick up a magazine
- Watch funny video on YouTube
- Smell a flower
- Pull an oracle card
When you want to indulge on your favorite treat – Intensify the pleasure of the experience. Eat without distractions and give it your full experience.

About the Guest:

As a full-figured woman who struggled with her weight for years, Sarah finally found the key that all diets were missing. After bouncing between fad diets and struggling with her body image, Sarah realized she had been “waiting on the weight” – waiting to be thin before she: got the great job, the great relationship, lived a life beyond her wildest dreams.

When Sarah stopped waiting on the weight, she finally did all the things that she had put on hold for years: going for her ideal job, flirting with her dream guy, going out dancing and living a fully engaged life. In her words, the late night “pity snacking” ceased with all the joy and activity this new lifestyle brought and finally created a body she loved.

Now as the founder of Live More Weigh Less TM, the most popular non-diet weight loss program on the Internet, she believes that every woman deserves to have their ideal body, which is not looking like your 23-year-old self, your best friend or your favorite celebrity. It’s about creating YOUR perfect body for your phase of life, constitution and lifestyle.
