March 2003

Hi Mands,

Thanks for sending me the March newsletter. I am so grateful that I have have come to P's A-ha moment a few years earlier... actually I only realised it about a month ago. I am doing my Diploma in Metaphysics at the Centre for Alternative studies and this is what happened to me:

I am not sure if you have heard of a lady by the name of Jann Weiss,
(Author of Teaching the Monkey to fly, she is an elephant and dolphin "whisperer", does reality shifting etc.)

She did our evening class with us. She had me focussing on a problem that I have and I decided to focus on me being so overweight and what I put my body through without much success. In meditation she had me thinking about people sniggering when I walk past, men in bars passing comments, peoples stares, family's persecution... I still hear my dads words that I will never find a man and I won't be accepted by society if I am overweight. I am sure that no fatty needs to be reminded of the affects of being overweight. Well Girl... let me tell you. She focussed on putting a light ball around me as she meditated, and all she did was watching the texture of the bubble around me. She asked me after about 10 minutes how I felt about my problem now... I said to her in astonishment.... It does not feel that big anymore... I realised that being overweight is of no importance..... almost. I am that...that I am.

Her explanation was that a high frequency (her focus on me) will alter a lower frequency (my meditation) state. It really was a WOW moment for me and I struggled to rationalise it for days after that.... but let me tell you.... something inside me has changed since then... I have met the most amazing man (and I am convinced it has something to do with that powerful meditation!!!) He loves every inch of me! (This makes me ssooooo shy) Fat little toes, big bum, tummy, flabs, you name it. I don’t have to wear clothes to cover all the areas I dont like. I never thought me and another person could fit into my little bath! But heck.... its tried and tested and has now become a daily occurrence. We bath together. He is making me feel proud of who I am and in return I feel so good about myself.

I am sure that because of the transformation I went through it has affected my outlook on life... which opened me up for new things including love....

This little piggy is very happy.....

Best wishes

Hi Mariaan

Thanks so much for sharing your 'A-Ha' moment... it is really awesome when you have that moment of clarity and you are just able to see, understand and accept things the way they are. I am so pleased that you found a way to get to where you are. I hope that you continue to enjoy your relationship and that each day brings you happiness and joy.

It is a wonderful place to be when after years of making your body your enemy you finally make friends with it and start to love who and what you are.

Just a request, please may I share your wonderful words, either on the website or in the e-mail newsletter. I understand that it often takes courage to share your experiences, and I can leave your name and personal details out. It's so important for us to learn from each other and to learn from others experiences, life is just to short to try and get it all by ourselves.

Thank you so much. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
To the best IN you and the body you deserve.

Love and laughter
Mands

January 2004 email from Mariaan.....
You know, I never thought that I could meet someone so special to me that accepts me for who I am. My parents always conditioned me and said that if you are fat nobody will ever want to love you and marry you.
