I have been getting some veggies from the cutting veg and it is great! They will be located outside my office today from 2-7pm. Come and swing by and check out their fresh produce....that is picked the same day as it arrives!

When used daily, self hypnosis can help you to achieve remarkable things. It's relaxing, helps you to focus and reach your goals much easier.

While self hypnosis is similar to meditation there is a difference.

Meditation is the practice of clearing ones mind of all thought. Self hypnosis is the practice of using the power of your mind to refocus your awareness on a goal or change that you would like to make.

Here is a simple self hypnosis technique that you can use to help you make the changes you desire.

Step 1-Find a place where you won't be disturbed for 10 minutes.

Step 2-Focus your attention on the space in front of you and count downwards from 10-1. Allow your eyelids to get heavier and heavier with every number.

Step 3-When you reach the count of 1 close your eyes and begin to breath deeply.

Step 5-Imagine in front of you a movie screen with an image of yourself living exactly as you want. Notice what you look like, feel like and sound like. Notice the colour, vibration and energy of the image.

Step 6-Imagine stepping into the image. Imagine that like a computer installing a new program, your mind, body and energy absorb this new image of you.

Step 7-Enjoy being in this image for a few minutes allowing yourself to feel it fully

Step 8- Count yourself out of hypnosis by counting from 1-10

Step 9-When you reach the count of 10 open your eyes and tell yourself you are full of energy and life

Step 10-Enjoy your day knowing that you have programmed your mind for your highest good!

I am happy to announce that I am now offering hypnosis and NLP sessions over skype for people living outside of Toronto. I had some requests from people asking if there was anyway to do hypnosis over skype and the results were fantastic. So beginning today you can book your free consultation and we can discuss if hypnosis is a form of complementary treatment that would be right for you!

We will be holding an Open House on Saturday, June 12th from NOON–2PM. Please invite your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, and anyone else you think might be interested in joining Karma!

As you know, we are always looking for new members to join Karma, and this is the perfect opportunity to invite that friend who is interested but hasn't made it in yet. We will have people on hand to answer questions, free bike tune ups, samples from our suppliers, and non-members will be able to do a trial shop.

Please forward this flyer to your networks.

Thanks!

Sometimes people leave working out until a few weeks before summer. When the hot weather hits, so does a realization that perhaps a few pounds that were put on during the winter months can no longer be concealed under warm clothing!

These 5 and easy tips can help you to let go of those few pounds before the start of summer on June 22.

1. Increase your physical activity. If you usually take a car or transit to work, consider riding your bike instead or walk. Doing this everyday is a great way to add physical activity to your daily routine.

2. Eat your vegetables and fruits! Consuming raw fruits and vegetables in their raw state is excellent for letting go of weight. Raw fruits and vegetables also fill you up and provide your body with nutrients.

3. Set a goal. If you want to let go of 10 pounds by June 30 set it as a goal. Ask yourself what you need to do to accomplish the goal. People who set goals for themselves are more likely to accomplish what they set out to do.

4. Limit the amount of alcohol that you consume. Alcohol is a major culprit in weight. It slows down the bodies ability to burn fat and is very high in calories. Mixed drinks, Martinis and bottled coolers are all very high in sugar as well. If you must have a drink, have a vodka and soda with a twist of lime which is the best, lowest calorie choice. Limit your drink intake to no more than 2 drinks.

5. Drink only water! Many people consume what is known as "unconscious calories" that coffee with sugar in the morning, the juice or pop with lunch etc. By drinking only water each day you will reduce the amount of calories you are consuming which can help when slimming down and letting go of weight.

H20. We all need it. It helps our body to function properly! We can only go 3 days without it!

Research has shown that 2/3rds of the population doesn't get enough water. There are many that walk around in a state of chronic dehydration!

We only have one signal to put something in our mouth. Many people mistake thrist for hunger! So by making sure you carry a bottle of water with you and keep drinking it you will know when you are truly hungry.

Our bodies are designed to run efficiently on water. Not on soda pop, coffee or alcohol. Juice is also a big culprit that people drink way too much of!

So be good to your body and make sure you give it enough water! Your body and mind with function at their optimum levels and you will feel much better!

If you need to take some time to relax, give yourself 10 minutes of pure relaxation. You can download my free hypnosis mp3 by clicking on the MP3 store above!
