When you think of losing weight, I’m guessing that “counting calories and sweating through gruelling workouts” are usually what come to mind first. Am I right? The thing is that weight loss is often MORE about your managing your stress and emotions, than anything else. That’s because stress can create specific chemistry in the body that causes weight gain.
So how can you manage your emotions and stress, and truly get to the core reason of why your body is holding on to the unwanted weight…?
MEDITATION. Now you might be thinking…,
“What does meditation have to do with weight loss? After all, you just sit there with your eyes closed, so how could that possibly help?”

JON GABRIEL
Best-Selling Author & Weight Loss Coach
In 2001, I weighed over 400lbs, and if someone had told me that meditation was one of the most powerful tools for transforming my body, I would have thought it was a joke. At the time, I was doing extreme diets and spending an hour at the gym each day. It wasn’t working, of course, diets never work; but still, I would never have thought that meditation could help.
But it did. Meditation and visualization practices actually had the biggest impact on my total body and life transformation, and I continue to practice every day, even now.
Meditation delivers measurable results you can see and feel almost immediately at home, without any formal training required.
Almost every progressive medical treatment on the planet today for conditions ranging from heart disease to cancer now incorporate meditation because the data is so conclusive… Meditation works. You cannot separate the mind and the body in healing, and our attempts to do so are what get us into trouble in the first place.
Meditation Can Change Your Metabolism, Heart Rate, Respiration, Blood Pressure & Brain Chemistry…
Harvard physician, Herbert Benson, was one of the first to research and document what he called, “The Relaxation Response,” a very measurable and significant change in physical, mental, and emotional responses related to stress through the use of meditation.
Your mind has the power to influence your fat storage hormones.
In your mind, you desperately want to be thin, and yet your body craves junk food—and too much food. Why does this happen? What’s going on?
If you’re stressed out, worried, fearful or lonely, the impact on your health is immediate—and the hormonal imbalances created are the same imbalances that cause food cravings that lead to weight gain. Your cortisol levels rise, your blood sugar sky-rockets, your body stops listening the fat hormones leptin —and you gain weight.
Most people have been unsuccessful with diets; and in most cases, it’s because they failed to address the real issues underlying the weight gain. The hard truth is that chronic mental and emotional stresses can be more toxic to your health than fast food, ice cream, or any junk food you can imagine.
The good news is that there is a solution, and it comes from transforming your body from the inside out… starting with your mind.
Mind-body approach or “inside out weight loss” is we start on the hormonal level, balancing first your biochemistry, and then the food choices, the cravings, the overeating—all those so-called “bad habits” fall away natural and resolve themselves without suffering or restriction.
When you use the power of your mind & the practice of meditation for weight loss, you can…
Relieve stress & reduce stress hormones which cause you to hold onto weight
Lower your heart rate & breathing to ease the body & mind
Calm your central nervous system and communicate positive messages
Create positive neural pathways for success for your weight loss goals
Experience deep rejuvenating sleep
Reduce inflammation in your gut and improve digestion
Increase your body’s sensitivity to the fat regulating hormones leptin
Build positive feelings of self worth, love & acceptance, and life purpose
Don’t worry, if you can’t sit still or relax, this is a clear sign that meditation is exactly what you need.
Guided visualization is the ideal way to meditate for weight loss – for beginners and experienced meditators alike. It allows you to sit back, relax, and be guided through an experience which is easy for your mind to follow – no matter how unfocused or stressed you feel. With guided visualization, you can rewire your neural pathways to create new ways of thinking about your body and your life. This is where we start for “inside out weight loss”.
STEP 1: Find a Quiet Place to Meditate
Any place will do, but it’s best if you can return to the same spot each day. Your office, a bedroom, even a corner of your house can work. I have readers who take their headphones to the bathroom because it’s the quietest place in their house. Literally, any place where you feel calm and can sneak away to for 10 minutes is just perfect. That’s your meditation spot!
STEP 2: “Take a Seat” (or lie down)
Seated positions are preferred for meditation. Sitting helps you focus, but if it’s just too uncomfortable at first, lying flat on your back is fine too. If you’re seated, try to sit up tall but without straining or forcing. You want to feel naturally balanced and relaxed in an upright position. Soften your shoulders away from your years and with your chin parallel to the floor, close your eyes and relax. That’s it, you’re ready!
STEP 3: Put On Your Headphones & Press Play!
The best way to listen to guided meditations are with headphones. They block out other noises and can be very helpful for total concentration. That said, if you are unable to use headphones, using any type of speakers will work just fine too. Once you press play, your job is not to “do” anything. Your job is simply to relax and listen. With guided meditation practices, you’ll find your mind will drift in and out of focus—this is normal. You might doze off to sleep occasionally, that’s perfectly fine. There is no right or wrong way to meditate—just keep pressing play and let it happen.

“I have lost weight! I can see it and feel it. It’s a miracle.
It’s been a week & a half now, been listening to the meditations each day. I have been eating pretty normal, even the odd cookie after dinner. If anything I had the feeling I had been eating more. Not increased my exercise. Eating perhaps a bit more veggies… Long story short – I have lost weight! I don’t know how much – don’t have scales – threw them out many years ago! But I can see it and feel it. It’s a miracle. Thank you! I always knew that dieting was not the answer. That the reason for being overweight, and the ‘cure’ was to be found in the unconscious, the emotions. I have had so many revelations during the meditations which helped me bring love & healing to those issues/hurts/emotional scars I still carried around with me – literally – as fat. Thank you both so much. You have given us an invaluable gift!”

“An invitation to a feast where both my body and soul are nourished
I just had to write to you both right now to send you my love and heart-felt thanks for getting together and creating this amazing 21 – day meditation challenge. It’s only Day 2 and I have just finished listening to Jon but I know that this time after years of struggling with my body weight, largely due to old beliefs and ingrained behavior patterns – this time my body is really ready to get its sexy on! The 21 days look to be so comprehensive and beautifully planned to permeate all the levels; body/mind/conscious/subconscious, it feels more like and invitation to a feast where both my body and soul are nourished, rather than a challenge. The only way this isn’t going to work is if I don’t press play! Thanks to you guys, I’ve already set myself a target weight for optimum health and super sexiness, which I have not disclosed to anyone before… and to reach that goal I have to release 70lbs. I’ve been carrying around a small child in extra weight – shock, horror! Obviously I’m not going to lose that in 21 days, but watch this space!”

A big THANK YOU for the 21 day meditations. It is a fabulous adjunct to the evening visualization and is helping keep me on track.

Am just 3 weeks into the GM but feeling like it has clicked and I know I’m doing the right thing.”

“An enormous gift, filling me with so much joy
It is an enormous gigantic gift filling me with so much joy. It’s an answer to my prayers. I’m 61, 1.7m tall, weigh 115K, had a back operation last year and desperately need to lose weight, or otherwise another operation. It’s only day 2 and yesterday already my back felt much better. I didn’t struggle to put on socks and walked with so much energy! Monday it was an effort to put one foot in front of the other! I really needed Jon’s Method for more than one reason. God bless all of you.”

“Visualizations empower us to dare to dream
Positive expectation using the Visualizations empower us to dare to dream and attract the life we were meant to live. One of my fat triggers is trauma from car accidents. I had pain for 40 years. Listening daily to the “Safe/Protected” Visualization, my pain has reduced 70% in one week. I can now see myself living a life without pain. Wow, just the thought is so freeing.”
