Body Weight and Spiritual Work

Posted on December 11, 2008 by mm-admin

I have had a battle with my weight since I was 21 years of age and went on the birth pill on the advice of my doctor. Whether I should have taken the advice or not has always been a question mark within me. I went from a size 12/14 up to a size 24 in three months and basically stayed that way all of my life. I did lose weight a couple of times and kept it off for a while. My lowest size was twenty years ago when I got down to a size 12 again and kept it off for 6 weeks! I had gone through a difficult time with my marriage and had separated for 6 weeks. I had lost weight all year and decided to go back to my, then, ex. He told me I was too thin, and I in my effort to be what he wanted, began eating again a lot of the things I had avoided which were high in carbs. Within a few months, I was back to a size 24 again. I did not realize then that the reason for my weight was the work I was to do. For me, to be the medium/channel I am, I need to carry weight – not so much fat, but water.

I read recently that Oprah Winfrey is back up to 200 pounds again and that, in a letter to the public, she said how ashamed she feels knowing what she knows and having the awareness she does about nutrition. However, I remembered Pavarotti losing weight and gaining it, and losing and gaining it in the last years of his life. I noticed that, when he lost weight, his voice did not carry as much power. Oprah Winfrey does not realize it, but she is a channel for Spirit. They use her, just like they use me, to bring the words of Spirit to the world. It is her show, Oprah, which over the last 20+ years has brought spiritual/metaphysical subjects to the world. For me, it is the Maitreya website and then, of course, this website as well as all the teaching/readings that I do. Like Oprah, I have despaired of my weight over the years, but unlike Oprah and some of my friends, I have not become obsessed with it. Yes, I have tried a couple of times to lose weight, but it has not been constant.

What is the purpose of this writing? It is to let the world know that, if you work for Spirit, there is a distinct possibility you will put weight on and also have a problem taking it off. Also, it is not so much fat as water, and that water is what Spirit uses as energy to do their work through us on the earth plane. My husband, Alan, put on 25 pounds within a year of being with me in the beginning. He did not eat any more either; he just put the extra weight on.

So what if you are thin? Does this mean you cannot be a medium/channel? No, it does not. It does mean though that you will not have the staying power in doing the work. In my case, I can work and work and work. Alan says I am like the Eveready bunny, the logo for a type of battery in the USA which they guarantee will run longer than the others. I rarely get tired. However, my friend in New Zealand who is thin is a brilliant astrologer and channel, but she can only do about 15 readings a week – if that – and runs out of energy very quickly.

People love my energy, just as they did Pavarotti’s, and Oprah’s. I have never been able to understand it, but recently at a concert Alan and I attended the woman who sat next to me made comment on my energy and how she could nestle up to me; how warm I was. I know I could not be like that without the body weight. It is that “warmth” which draws people into my energy like flies to a sticky paper.

Oprah should not be ashamed of her weight. I used to be, but I am no longer. Would I like to be a size 14/16? You bet, but I know it is not possible while I work for Spirit. I do not advocate that you all go out there and eat to your heart’s content. I honestly do not eat a lot of things which are considered the fat person’s comfort such as chocolate, candy, cakes, and cookies. I do not exercise a lot and that could be the problem, but after a week of working for Spirit, I rarely have the energy to do that kind of thing. If I did, of course it would affect the weight!

A medical doctor, someone who attends our center and is very interested in the metaphysical, told me the other day she liked me the way I was, and I seemed very healthy (she sees and senses people’s energy). I came to the realization that I love myself too. If I lose weight, good and well. If not, too bad. At least I will know that Spirit can use my body for their work on the earth plane. It is so important, that work.

If you are carrying weight, do you find that people come up to you and tell you all of their problems? Do you take on people’s pain, depression and emotional issues? Do you find yourself starving after doing any kind of work where you help others? If you answered “Yes” to these questions, you can bet you are working for Spirit. Many people do, and do not even know it.

I was told when I was 14 years of age that our health is caused by the state of our minds. If we are happy inside, our body will be happy. I was thinking today of the number of really large people who have lived to long ripe ages. I personally can name at least 10. So my New Year’s resolution is to be happy and let my body take care of itself. Of course my Self will not be happy, but then I am not catering to my Self, but to my Higher Self these days. Go Spirit!!
