Get Balanced, Get Blissed

The Keys to Transformation

I found this book to be very heartwarming, informative, and motivational. Packed with touching stories from her rocky journey in life as she shares advice and guidance on how she was able to take the traumatic obstacles that crossed her life path and use them as a motivator to grow and create positive change in her life.  Get Balanced, Get Blissed is filled with fabulous insight on how to cope, overcome and turn your life around including great advice on nutrition and mediation, which not only help your body get into shape but will make you feel a thousand times better.

Lynne Goldberg’s book, Get Balanced, Get Blissed,” gave me the insights to understand that we are not alone.  Everyone in life goes through tragic events at some point in their life and there are some people who unfortunately are faced with obstacles every day of their lives.

The trick is how do we cope with these obstacles?

Do we let the negative things that happen to us in life get the best of us and slowly destroy us making us feel angry, saddened, and depressed? Or do we reach out to others with experience in this field to teach us how to accept the negative things that occur in our lives and use them to empower us to make positive changes in our lives that will help us live in the moment and appreciate the life we live and the air we breathe?

Lynne Goldberg teaches you in this book how to turn your life around in a step-by-step regimen that that easy to do and very self-rewarding.

One important factor, I learned from this book is that you need to make sure you maintain a healthy connection with your mind, body, and soul.  The reason for this is that you need all three connected in order for your body to operate at full capacity and most important in order to live a happy, healthy, and productive life.

In chapter 1, she opens up and lets you into her world sharing her ups and downs and the pain she endured while struggling to go on with her life while the obstacles she encountered kept trying to run her over.  She discusses the concept of bliss and talks about how to make bliss a part of your own life.

As you enter chapter 2, she discusses nutrition and goes on to explain how what we put into our bodies has a huge impact on the way we feel.  She includes studies and research that show how we could heal our bodies and improve our mental and physical health by incorporating the right foods into our diet.  Goldberg not only discusses how to eat right, but she also shows you how to transform your entire life as the book continues.

Lynne Goldberg’s natural, holistic approach helped me realize that WE control our bodies. We can change…

  • Our appearance
  • Thinking
  • Emotions
  • And more…

by providing our bodies with nurturing and nutrients using healthy foods, positive relationships, meditation, and exercise.   We do not need to rely on pills.  We need to rely on ourselves.

As you continue reading, you will find on page 48 she discusses the environment we live in plays a big role in the way we take care of our bodies.  From this chapter, I learned that in order for change to occur we need to become leaders, not followers.  We need to learn to care for our environment because after years of abusing the environment we are experiencing negative outcomes.  It is affecting our health and causing many unnecessary health conditions that we could avoid.  We also need to eat the way some other countries do.  We consume so much processed, toxic foods in such large quantities that our country’s ways of life are slowly killing us.

If people change, teach, and advocate a better way of living then change will occur.  We need to change ourselves first then go out to become an advocate and fight for a better way of living for the people in our country.  Fight for what is right.  If the majority of society changes then the corporate world will have no choice, but to change too.  Corporations and companies only produce when there is a demand for something.  If we change our lifestyle they will have no choice, but to change too because the demand for it will be gone.  I am up for the challenge.  Are you?

Lynne also provides a 21-day Challenge where she walks you through the transformation process and helps create a life for you that you probably thought was not possible.  I enjoyed how the book provides you with the stepping-stones and techniques to transform yourself the natural way.  Lynne Goldberg the author, provides the reader with extraordinary tools and techniques that help you achieve all your goals both long and short-term goals.

In addition, through reading this book I realize no matter what age you are you can transform your life and create the life you always wanted for yourself. A life filled with happiness, inner peace, good health, and bliss.

Lynne Goldberg’s book is an excellent book that I highly recommend to others.

depression

You can live life around supportive friends and family, individuals who are there for you no matter how busy their lives may be.  You feel their love and you receive their ongoing support, however, living life with an illness can feel  like a “life of  loneliness.”

Despite all the support, all the love you may receive’ life with limitations, pain, and suffering can be very draining and depressing.  Many people with illnesses walk around hiding the pain they feel inside both emotionally and physically.

Many hide their pain with the false grinning faces that they wear on a daily basis.  Including myself.  And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter.  They are so rustic, so ugly, so meaningless, and feeble from being kept inside your small dark soul.  These are the ones you created inside yourself.  In a space in your heart where the painful emotions have lingered for so long.

Yes, there is joy, love, laughter fulfillment, and companionship in your life– however, the dreary emotions that have built up inside your soul for so long have caused you to experience the pain and loneliness caused by your illness.  It’s become horrible and overpowering.

I know because I battle with the invisible illness known as epilepsy.  On the outside, I look so normal.  No one would ever expect that I battle a chronic illness that has taken over my body and over time has begun to emotionally destroy me on the inside.

Battling depression with an illness

Depression is a condition that can slowly make its way into your life, especially when a chronic illness begins to take over causing you to have to stop doing what you love and live life with limitations.  Limitations can help you physically, but emotionally the depression secretly makes its way into your soul because you are unable to become the person you once dreamed of becoming.

Your pathway of life has changed and your dreams are niched. So what now?

So how do you overcome the depressed feelings inside?  What do you do?  Some days you want to move on and change your life for the better and other days you feel like just giving up because of the emotional pain you’re feeling on the inside. Your illness is draining you.

Overcoming depression with an illness

Honestly, I’ll be the first to admit life has not been a bowl of cherries.  But it was back in the 1990s when they couldn’t find a drug to control my seizures.  They sent me to a trial group to try medications that were still in the research and were getting ready to be approved by the FDA.  At this point in my life, I was tired.  Tired of taking seizures. I was frustrated with the cards I was dealt with and angry that I had no control.  That my illness controlled me.

That day I walked into the waiting room with the other patients like myself, who were hoping to find that miracle drug that would control their seizures and make them live a life that was normal in their eyes.

There were patients that were strapped down because their seizures were so traumatic that they needed to be held down so they wouldn’t hurt themselves.  Patients that had 90 to over 100 seizures daily. People who had brain damage and others who could barely talk.

It was then that I realized that the cards that I was dealt with weren’t so bad after all.  They were others much worse than me.  Yes, I developed epilepsy at the age of five through a virus known as encephalitis that had traveled throughout my brain and life has definitely been a rollercoaster, to say the least, however, they are others who have it a lot worse than me.

At that moment the light bulb turned on and after working years on myself I concluded:

Denial and acceptance

Our illness is not going to go away.  It is a part of us.  You need to accept that it is a part of you.  Once you come to terms with your illness you will start to see the anger you have built inside you for so long start to disappear.

Love yourself

For so long I hated who I was, but as you know hate destroys.  Once I learned to love myself my life changed for the better.  I focused on my positive qualities.  It was then that I stopped thinking about what I couldn’t do and started paying attention to the things in life that I could do.  I put all my energy into my positive qualities and created a life that would make me happy based on the things I could do.

A quote that always stuck with me was…

“To find extraordinary happiness and success, pursue your passion, work with your intuition, learn as a child, and adapt as water.” – Pushpendra Mehta, Observe to Unmask

Self-Esteem

I slowly began to feel good about myself.  I realized over time that everyone has something in life.  No one is perfect.  We all have obstacles to overcome.  You are not alone.  Everyone has something in life.  There is no need to feel like you’re on the bottom of the totem pole.  Everyone has something special about themselves.  Take some time to figure out what makes you special then use those special qualities about yourself to help others.  There is no better feeling in the world than helping someone else in life.  It will make you feel better as a person and it will improve your self-esteem.

Overcome the loneliness

I have so many people in my life who would listen to me when I need to share my pain, however, it is very difficult to open up and let others know the pain that we carry inside our hearts.  Not letting others know how you feel inside can cause you to feel lonely and depressed.  The best way to overcome this is to open up to others experiencing the same situation that can relate to you and what you are going through dealing with your invisible illness.  You’re not alone.

Tip #1: Go into a forum or chat group anonymously and share what you’re going through.  You’ll see that there are millions of people going through the same thoughts and emotions.  Sharing your emotions will make you feel better.  However, the trick to overcoming your loneliness and depression is to move forward and overcome these negative emotions.

You can’t control your illness, but you can control how you deal with your illness.

Tip#2: Create a journal with short and long-term goals.  Think positive.

Waking up each day not knowing what to expect can be frustrating and depressing. Even living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t guarantee a better life. However, in order to survive and overcome the depression, you feel inside, you must learn to fight back.

The Bottom Line

“That we cannot change the past.  We can only focus on the present and create positive changes to improve our future.”  You never know what the next day will bring.  Make the best of your life by appreciating what you have, not what you don’t have in life.

To achieve self-healing and development, one must understand the basic 7 chakras and how they work, what they represent, and their linkage to different areas of the body.

Set aside time a dedicated place to meditate

You also need to set up your area with things that are related to this meditation. A large chart of the chakras for example is used by a lot of people to help them focus on a particular chakra. Maybe having colored candles, or stones or cloth to hold or light to help you picture the different chakras in your mind.

Keep this meditation to yourself

This is to prevent ridicule from your peers or family which may then cause you to lose your faith and determination to proceed. Only when they see the difference in you and ask, you can freely do so.

Be patient and consistent

Every person’s response to this meditation is different as they have their own unique problems. One person may feel the effects instantly, while for others it may take weeks or months as their chakras may be completely out of alignment. Thus, results may take time, and even after realignment, they need regular maintenance to keep them that way. Take this as a lifetime commitment.

Set goal and fulfill them

You should always have a purpose, whether this is to help heal certain parts of your body or put your chakras into balance.

Be humble

You are doing this meditation to improve your life, not make yourself better than everyone else. If people start noticing the difference in your appearance, your overall outlook on life, or that your illnesses start going away, do not brag about it. This can put the chakras out of alignment.

 

Chakra

The practice of meditation aligns the seven major chakras (which correspond to the body’s major endocrine glands) with the power of the environment and the universe. It’s fairly simple to perform this meditation as long as one remembers to focus on one chakra at a time whilst having a clear mind.

Simply sit still with your spine upright and focus on the particular chakra while taking a deep slow breath. Start with focusing on the root chakra and working your way down slowly to the crown chakra.  Make sure you are in a comfortable position without any surrounding distractions.

As you focus on each of the chakra’s see beams of light shooting out of you and entering the earth, the idea is to feel a sense of connection with everything around you. Spend about 3-5 minutes per chakra and do not take more than 30 minutes overall.

Although results are not achievable in a short time, 30 minutes of daily meditation will reap many benefits;  among them are as follow…
