Weight: What is it good for?

Hi! Frank Butterfield here... Your channel extraordinaire of The Communion of Light!

OK — you may be like me — carrying a lot more pounds (or kilos or stone) than you really want to.

Or you may be carrying just a few more than you want but feel out of balance with the natural weight of your body.

I learned a long time ago that it's not what I'm eating, it's what's eating me.

How do I know?

Three stories about me and my weight... First:

It started with a bad break-up.

At the beginning of 1997, after the end of a painful relationship, I decided I'd had enough with dieting or worrying about my weight.

I'd come across the radical idea that I could eat anything I wanted.

Plus, I'd figured out that my weight was no one else's business but my own. So, I threw down the towel (figuratively).

I promised myself to never again weigh food, count calories, or worry about fat.

I also promised to never again have a conversation with anyone, at any time, about food or weight or exercise, unless I wanted to. Period.

Pretty powerful stuff!

You know what happened? I gained about 30 pounds and then stopped.

And I've been the same weight ever since (plus or minus a few pounds, but I'll get to that).

That's right.

In the last 14 years I've always eaten as much or as little as I've wanted.

I've eaten a lot of things that I was always told not to eat.

I have tried different diet approaches off and on during that time, but nothing ever really seemed to work for me.

I stopped worrying about food so I stopped gaining weight.

Now, why is that?

And consider this...

I haven't lost weight either.

Oh, I have here and there, from time to time.

But I always end up right back at about the same place.

There is one big exception, however. And it's kind of interesting.

In 2003, I spent a lot of time going back and forth to Italy for work.

And every time I was in Italy for longer than a week or so, I would notice that I was losing weight! Woo hoo! Right?

This happened more than once, so that's when I began to pay attention.

Now, there's more to this story and it has nothing to do with Mediterranean diet (I detest fish and seafood and really don't like red wine).

I spent some glorious days in Rome and Naples, but most of the time was spent on a US military base located on the island of Sicily.

And at that base, they had a food court where I ate lunch most weekdays and some weekends, because it was easy and always open.

And what did they have there? Fast food, of course!

Now, if you've ever been to Sicily, you'll know that they still have a siesta during the afternoon.

It gets really hot there, so it makes sense.

And, if you're running around town on errands, like I did so often, and you don't have lunch by 12:30 or so, you're simply not going to have lunch.

Plain and simple.

That is, unless you go to McDonald's. And I did. A lot.

So, here I was in Italy, definitely not eating the Mediterranean diet, having just as much fast food as back in the USA.

And still... I would lose weight!

Now, why is that?

One final thought...

But I haven't always been so chubby.

I was as a child. And my parents, with the best intentions, tried to get me to lose weight, to eat better, and to exercise more.

And they thought the best way to do this was to use guilt, shame, and various types of cajoling.

None of those worked very well.

In fact, I lost weight twice before the age of 18. Once when I went on a well-known diet program. And it worked. Until people started telling me I was too skinny.

The other time was... surprise, surprise... the 6 months I spent in the country of Chile during high school as an exchange student...

It wasn't until a pivotal moment when I was almost 20, that I began to miraculously (and I mean that) lose weight.

One day I received a very disturbing call from one of my parents. It was a rant, really. All about how I wasn't doing things right and how I needed to shape up.

It made me so angry that I slammed the phone down and didn't speak to them for nearly 6 months.

And during that 6 months, I started losing weight.

In fact, I lost 100 pounds.

No dieting. No exercise. Nothing different.

It stayed off too. For nearly 5 years.

That is... until I took a job working for a couple who were almost replicas of my parents.

And then I started gaining weight slowly until 1997 when I threw down the towell!

Again, I ask, why is that?

I want to know!

I've decided to go back to the Source and find out what's going on and how to shift from where I am today to where I want to be.

I've asked my non-physical friends, Paul & The Communion of Light, to help me sort this out.

Like me, you probably get that it's about the cause (the thoughts and feelings I hold around food and my body) and not the effect (what my body looks like).

So, I want to have a leading edge conversation with my favorite non-physical friends (who are, so they say, ever so handsome!).

What about you?

• If this is something you can relate to...
• If you have questions about who you are in relationship to your body (particularly as it relates to weight)...
• If you want to find the freedom that you know is waiting for you on this very thorny subject...

Then I invite you to be part of this ground-breaking, powerful, and transformational course.

Here's what we'll be doing:

• Asking thorny questions about what we do and don't like about weight...
• Getting delicious, easy-to-understand answers directly from Source...
• Looking at weight from cause... and not effect...
• Getting those thorny issues on the table so we can sort out what we DO want from what we DON'T want...
• Finding the unconditional love that our bodies have for us naturally...
• Learning how to turn from body thoughts that are painful to ones that set us free...
• Falling in love with our bodies just as they already love us...
• Re-connecting to that inner voice that always knows what the exact next thing is that right for each of us individually, even when it comes to food...
• Deciding what we want for our lives and our bodies from this powerful right-now moment...
• Opening up to new possibilities for better and improving conditions in our lives...
• Asking for (and receiving) all the help we want on the subject of body and weight from those helpers and guides who are always at our service...

Here's what we won't be doing:

• Blaming ourselves for getting it wrong...
• Talking about diet and exercise as a fix, without addressing the cause...
• Limiting ourselves to what we see...
• Believing that we are somehow flawed, broken, or that life must be a struggle in order to be meaningful...
• Waiting for things to get better...

What's next?

So, before you sign up for this course, I'd like to invite you to think about what questions you have for our non-physical friends who are providing us the perspective that unconditional Source Energy has on us...

What do you want to know about your weight?

What would bring you relief around how you relate to your body?

What else is right there at the surface?

Don't hold back. This is a great time to really go for what you want. And what might that be?

• A slimmer body?
• A better way of relating to your body?
• Feeling good about who you are in your body?
• Feeling good about your body no matter what it looks like?
• Being more at ease in your skin?
• Discovering the delight of being in your body?
• Making peace with old ideas about your body that you've been carrying around?
• What other delicious and wonderful things could you be wanting? The possibilities are endless!!

Here's how our course will work

First off, I'm incredibly happy to be joined by one of my favorite Law of Attraction coaches, Flavia Daay.

Flavia will be facilitating our three powerful conversations. If you know Flavia, then you know she is so very good at aiming for precisely what she wants and gracefully allowing it to come to her. I'm so excited that she will be holding Paul & The Communion of Light to the non-physical fire, making sure that our very on-the-ground questions get answered in very practical ways. What could be more satisfying?

We'll be meeting on Wednesday nights by conference call starting on December 8th. Each call will last between 60 and 90 minutes depending upon the conversation.

Dates & Times

• Wed, December 8 — 8:30 pm EST
