I lost weight from the time I started this book over 1.5 months ago. This book is highly effective as a spiritual healing guide.
As a Course In Miracles Teacher I was fascinated that Marianne Williamson created a version of the teaching for those who struggle with weight, gifting them a spiritual source book that aligns readers with a journey of opening and expanding upon healing and uniting with the authentic self.
In a Course In Weight Loss, Marianne teaches self love and total self acceptance as steps to empowering yourself. She gives letters as examples of self communication techniques to turn a problem into something that you can accept within yourself. She talks about uniting weight problems (She covers weight but I believe the book can work with any addiction or affliction) with that of the assistance of Source. She speaks of God beautifully and freely as the provider of miracle to solve pain, issues, and problems in spiritual support of the reader. She utilizes lessons, gifts examples and takes you on a step by step journey through each lesson with wisdom and prayer, frightfulness and the ACIM understanding of authentic truth in Being. Her book is beautiful, and apparently effective as I without a strong goal, as I was reading this book I played with the idea of letting the book work for me. I lost weight just by reading the book and exploring my self with the exercises Marianne gave to work with.
In Joy,

Im in charge of me, your in charge of you
To postulate each one of us is capable to design our life lessons so that we can learn and grow is to understand our spirit is director.
To see that each spirit is the director of their life experience is to see each other as Source sees them, pure, responsible, capable. When you see this, capability expands and problems could never be larger. Understanding spirit is always master and director is understanding we all come from Source and is a liberating experience to discover.
To see each other in any other way does not serve, help, or support, it invalidates spirit and creates karma. To know that another has spirit, and that their spirit creates their life lessons as valuable treasures from every experience is to understand the jewel within yourself to support your own journey and to stand within the well spring of source.
Each of us has several pathways to choose as conscious choice to learn the lessons that our spirit selects as necessary and can always altar a pathway, make it more graceful, yet still retain the value of the growth. However the growth process is extremely valuable to the incarnate and was carefully selected by ones spirit. Interrupting that process is unnecessary practice and can delay growth.
Sometimes we fear the growth process of others or are not neutral because we do not understand what this being is working on, maybe have a matching picture and do not fully trust our own spirit, capability, and truth of what we have selected for our own individuated growth. Sometimes we judge another s growth and mistakenly interpret it superimposing a limitation that is not another s truth because we have yet to learn how karma is created.
Spiritual surrender, forgiveness, and non judgment assist the release of the pictures, energy charges and responsibility to prove to another the misnomers of right and wrong. It is your ability to resolve and create divine correction to the karma and energetic exchange of interference. Practicing the tools of spirit helps each of us to know we are of Source and truly are in charge, capable, ready, rich in tools and resources.

Spiritual Growth, Self Healing & Creating
We are all individuals and unique as spirit (who happens to have bodies). As spirit we are lead by the Divine Mind, the All That Is, our Source aka God to bring an aspect of God into this world in a very unique way (soul purpose).
Each person as spirit has a soul purpose, a very unique plan that is meant to expand themselves and their connection to source. Each of us is equal in that but yet no two are ever the same, as we have unique information, essence, soul type, soul age, and life lessons to accomplish.
To step into your alignment with soul purpose is to know that only you as spirit can take full responsibility for yourself as the sole creator, healer, and visionary of your life experience in conjunction with the will of your one true source. When you align with your source and your own divine plan, you are fed by the source from within which gives you empowerment for your healing, learning, and growing.
The way you run your energy, lessons, maintain your aura, transform concepts to serve your plan, and attend to all aspects of life are fully yours to care take, play with, and be responsible for. In this way one can not heal another as they do not know the intention of growth, lessons, and are not an essence match in vibrational sequence to the spirit of another. One does not know what the will of god holds for the other, and why an experience is present for a life lesson for spiritual growth. When we mix our energy we take away from someones clarity to understand and grasp their life lesson and discovery of who they truly are.
It is very important to learn healthy boundaries where energy mixtures do not inhibit or control but harmonize, to understand that cords, and being in someones aura is not a safe practice as there is no conscious neutrality to what they are working on, releasing, maintaining, learning and ultimately creating. Healthy boundaries are ones ability to set sacred space for themselves and their relationships. Healthy healing practices ensure that each person has their perfect ingredients for their cake as intended and invented by their one and only true source.
When one compares themselves to another they are invalidating both their spirit and the spirit of the other being as each souls plan is individuated to be rewarding and can not be implemented through comparison. When one sees a gift within another and can celebrate it, then they are able to understand and liberate their own similar gift in their own unique vibration, in a healthy empowered way.
To understand that we can not create for another, heal another or live their life for them is a very important lesson in unconditional love. To accept where another is at without judgment is to understand the power of their spirit to complete a lesson is to understand that their lesson holds immeasurable value to them and can only be completed if they have all of the puzzle pieces, sympathetic healing practices sometimes takes them away. To ask yourself to be healed in the way of accepting others just the way they are is asking for unconditional love to enter your mind from your source to help you in learning how to focus on your lessons, journey and souls plan. Once unconditional love enters your mind you can be a support system for others as long as it is within your souls purpose.
As spirit we do understand the founding practice of oneness, as bodies we think through duality, and duality is judgment that creates karmic agreements. When we learn how to implement the tools of spirit our karma begins to cleans and our relationships begin to harmonize. This is the act of returning to oneness. When we meet up on a spirit level in oneness it is a validating play space worth trying as it incorporates who we truly are and the opportunity to play in Gods sandbox with each other.
