The biofeedback work we’re doing  can help to change habits and behaviors so gradually that some people don’t think anything is happening.  Then they realize that their food preferences have been changing.  Or out of the blue they find a way to eat or an exercise program that works for them. They might even be led to a diet program, although diets typically don’t work without first balancing out the unconscious decision that was made to insulate the body with a layer of fat.

Remember, the unconscious mind creates our lives. We don’t know what we’re creating because, well, it’s unconscious.  This mind is a recording of every message and bit of information we’ve gotten throughout our lives,  even from our ancestors. Right information, wrong information- if it’s in the unconscious, it can end up in our creation.

Fortunately we can interface with the unconscious mind through biofeedback/stress management. By identifying and balancing out various forms of  unconscious stress , we can begin to turn things around. This isn’t limited to weight, but applies to all areas of life.

Coupled with awareness (biofeedback means teach) of changes you can make on the conscious level, this can be more powerful than anything you’ve ever done.

An example of how this might work is in dealing with the habit of eating when you’re bored.   This isn’t something that’s changed overnight. Starting with infancy, any time a baby cries it’s usually fed, even if the cry is one of frustration, etc. Talk about programming!

Energy is being sent daily to help manage this stress. But we’re probably not going to quit  - cold turkey, that is – the habit of popping something in our mouths when we’re restless. We’ve done it all our lives and it’s not going to change overnight. So,  how about this- in First magazine they report on a study that showed that women who increased their intake of soluble fiber lost 9 pounds in 16 weeks- without making any other change to their diet. They recommended adding apricots to the diet, as more than half the fiber in an apricot is the soluble kind.

Apricots also are a top source of zinc, which helps with memory (and many other things) and also lycopene, which helps to defend against aging of the skin. The fruit’s malic acid aids in the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate, which is an energy dispensing molecule that functions like a rechargeable battery.

Compare all this to potato chips- studies confirm that they contain toxins that can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and cancer risk.

Just a small change like eating an apricot  – instead of  handful of chips- can recharge your battery (remember, we’re electric!) and, over time, lead to major changes. And you don’t really even need to give up the chips right now. That may come later, but if not, no problem. That’s because true power is in small changes.

Over time the energetic information sent to your field, via the biofeedback, to deal with various forms of unconscious stress along with conscious changes you may choose to make can create amazing results!

One last thing- too much fruit may not be good either- more on that next week. For now, we’re just talking about one or two pieces of fruit a day in place of a processed comfort food.
