Stoke & Transformation | Jill Bolte Taylor, Part 6 of 12

Oprah’s Soul Series. On December 10, 1996, at age 37, Jill awoke with intense pain behind her left eye—a blood vessel had exploded in the left hemisphere of her brain and she was having a stroke. The experience was life-changing. Not only did Jill face years of recovery after her stroke—and major brain surgery to remove a large blood clot in her brain—she also discovered a better quality of life through increased use of the right hemisphere of her brain. She’s now an artist as well as a scientist, creating anatomically correct stained-glass replicas of brains that are sold as fine art. She’s also published My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey . The book explains in scientific detail exactly what happened during Jill’s stroke and how she recovered. It also takes a closer look at how the right hemisphere of the brain works and how Jill says people with normal brains can access it to find their own inner peace and improve their quality of life and the lives of others.

Autogenic Training – A guided Relaxation for a deep and restful sleep

This guidance with sleep music is very effective in helping you fall asleep fast. The German Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2xtt7PToJM . Best sound quality at 720p. Autogenic training was developed by J.H. Schultz in the 20s and is a traditional and widespread form of self-hypnosis. In advanced training, it is not necessary to repeat every formula 6 times. So here every formula is repeated 3 times. The peace formula is repeated at the beginning and between the other formulas once.
This manual helps with sleep disorders and insomnia and is suitable for an advanced basic level. But also many beginners confirm that this guide will help them to fall asleep and that they wake up refreshed in the morning.

It consists of the following exercises:

As you practice, try to combine phrases with images. This will help a lot to create the feeling of heaviness, warmth and relaxation. Every image that you find relaxing is helpful.

1. Heaviness Formula
“My arms and legs are heavy”
e.g. Imagine that you are ten times heavier then normal.
2. Warmth Formula
“My arms and legs are pleasently warm”
e.g. Imagine that you take a sun bath. Feel the warmth
spreading through your arms into your hands and your
legs into the feet
3. Heart Formula (just feel your heartbeat)
4. Breathing Formula
“My breathing is slow and regular”
e.g. Imagine that your breathing is like a gentle breeze,
which smooths the troubled Sea
5. Solar Plexus Formula
“My Solar Plexus is warm”
e.g. Imagine that there´s a glowing sun in the center of
your body. Feel the energy and the warmth of the sun.

The Cool Forehead Formula and the cancelling is not necessary because it is desired to fall into a deep and restful sleep.

I hope that this training will help you.

Best wishes & Love, Anke

10 Steps towards Permanent Weight Loss, Improved Vitality, and Optimal Health

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. It can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or can arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. A crash diet refers to willful nutritional restriction (except water) for more than 12 hours. The desired result is to have the body burn fat for energy with the goal of losing a significant amount of weight in a short time. There is a possibility of excessive muscle loss, depending on the approach used. Your Body Mass Index is a measure of weight that takes height into account. Higher BMIs are often associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease.

You can maximize fat loss by incorporating the following into your lifestyle:
1) Use a Quality Fat Loss Supplement – To help reverse the cycle of fat gain, hundreds of phytonutrients in Yogic Slim act at the molecular level to raise metabolic rate, increase energy, prevent muscle loss, and stabilize hormones and insulin levels thus regulating appetite.
2) Weight Training – More muscle mass means a higher resting metabolic rate and more calories burned. Weight training 3 to 4 days per week (less than 1 hour per session with 30 to 60 second rest periods in between sets) will foster high levels of muscle building (anabolic) hormones and minimize muscle wasting (catabolic) hormones. Work each body part once a week (chest and back on day 1, legs on day 3, shoulders and arms on day 5).

3) Aerobics – 40 to 60 minutes of aerobics (jogging, fast walking, swimming, cycling) on alternating days from weight training will help to burn fat and calories, increase physical endurance, strengthen heart and lungs, help control blood lipid levels and blood pressure, increase insulin sensitivity, and enhance energy and ability to cope with stress. Since aerobics on an empty stomach rely on fat for energy, morning time is ideal for aerobics. The level of intensity should be within your target heart range. This means 60% to 85% of your maximum heart rate (you feel the workout is somewhat hard where you feel tired but can continue for the entire 40 to 60 minute period).

4) Carbohydrates – consume low to moderate GI (Glycemic Index) carbohydrates at all times. All low GI diets are based on the same principle of balancing blood sugar. The foods which are restricted on low GI diets are those which cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise fast and high. This results in more food being converted to fat. Some foods commonly believed to be healthy actually have a high GI index: dried dates, watermelon, banana, raisins, brown rice pasta, white rice, cornmeal, couscous, instant rice, white bread, wholemeal bread, dark rye, and popular cereals (Raisin Bran, Special K, Grape Nuts, Cornflakes, Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Puffed Wheat).

5) Protein – consume lean, complete protein regularly with meals to raise your metabolic and anabolic hormones and prevent lean tissue loss. Good protein sources are skinless chicken, salmon, tuna, sardines, low fat cottage cheese, egg whites, and turkey breast. Avoid luncheon meats, whole milk, ground beef, cheese, bacon, pork chops, and yogurt.

6) Reduce Saturated Fats and Replace with Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFAs) – Limit butter, red meat, cheese, mayonnaise, macadamia nuts, peanut butter, and sunflower seeds. Avoid margarine, foods with “partially hydrogenated” on labeling, processed vegetable oils, and fried foods. Regularly consume flax oil, non-processed vegetable oils, salmon, olive oil, hazelnuts, peanut oil, hemp, avocado, almonds, and fish oil.
7) Regularly Drink Water – Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration and help liberate fat stores to be burned as energy.

8) Multivitamins – A good quality multivitamin / mineral supplement is always advisable for maximizing metabolism, fat loss, and health.

9) Increase Fiber Intake – Fibrous vegetables like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Peppers, and Carrots, and other raw vegetables and brown rice and whole grains increase transit time of food, improve digestion, and enhance weight loss. They also add bulk to the diet which reduces appetite.

10) Eat 5 to 6 Small Meals Daily – Spreading food intake improves nutrient absorption, minimizes blood sugar fluctuations, and decreases fat-storing hormones and enzymes.
