[Guest guest]

I wanted to make sure you get the last couple of newsletters with the Chinese

Belly Rub.

Combining this with LifeLift is getting rave reviews to combine it with

LifeLift. Instructions are below: One woman has reported inch loss of 9 " around

her belly and waistline and many others have reported great success so I highly

recommend it. Normally with the newsletter request we send out just one

newsletter but due to the overwhelming response to these next few we are

including them too.

Reducing belly fat can do more than just make you look good.

It is amazing how many different things in our bodies are changed when we work

on just one area of our body. For many years people thought that the only way to

flatten your belly was to do those grueling crunches that often left us injured

and hurting with no sign of flatter abs. The interesting thing is that we were

doing it all in the name of a more attractive abdomen. Most of us never realized

or even thought that by working off the fat on our abdomen that we would

actually be reducing many health risks too.

Studies show carrying fat around your mid section can put you at a higher risk

for many other ailments, including diabetes, heart disease, and many types of

cancer.

You can flatten your abdomen and improve your immune system by adding just a few

healthy habits daily. No more injuries from crunches and you can actually see

results for your efforts.

1-Do your LifeLift morning and at bedtime with this simple belly rub. Many

LifeLifters have been experimenting with this and the results are in. I have

been getting some rave reviews from those who really stuck with it and on a

personal note, I find that when I do it faithfully my belly shows it.

2-Eat the right kind of protein. As you increase your protein intake your waist

and belly measurement may go down. A study of 42,00 people reveals that chicken,

lean beef and fish create the biggest decrease in abdominal sizes. Protein is

important so make sure you are not depriving yourself. Many dieters starve

themselves and often they are gaining weight, especially around the middle Make

sure you are fueling your body every few hours and try to keep your food intake

balanced. Trying to completely eliminate any of the healthy food groups can be a

big mistake and lead to excess fat storage.

3-Reduce your stress and reduce the size of your belly and waistline. Doctors at

the University of California, San Francisco recently discovered that chronic

stress can cause you to accumulate fat right on your abdomen. Women are

especially at risk for this. When we are under stress our body will create a

hormone called cortisol. This hormone will increase the size of your abdomen and

stimulates your appetite for foods that are loaded with sugar and fats. It also

sends a message to your brain to store the fat around your belly to protect your

organs.

The answer to all of these is to do some simple, easy, nurturing LifeLift

breaths. Keep your movements slow and easy. Studies have shown that when people

push themselves to exercise too hard or for too long that their cortisol levels

increase dramatically. I have been doing research for years and once again I

will state that I am convinced, the more relaxed you are the easier it is for

your body to release toxins, fat and stress.

Combine your LifeLift breaths with this simple old Chinese rubbing technique and

Rub Fat From Your Abdomen in only minutes a day.

I know this may seem a little crazy, but then to most of us breathing to lose

weight, reduce stress and increase energy probably seemed a little out there

too, years ago. Now we all know that it is oxygen that burns fat and that deep

breathing is one of the most important and powerful things we can do to improve

our health, reduce our stress and to improve the way we age. This is only a tiny

part of the list of things that LifeLift deep breathing can do to benefit our

lives. Being open to new ideas can also offer us great benefits.

The old thinking was that if you wanted to tighten the flab on your abdomen you

needed to do those painful, time consuming crunches and for most they did not

give much in return in the way of results.

Combining some LifeLift breaths with this wonderful old Chinese method will take

only a few minutes out of your day and may reward you in so many ways, including

extra energy to accomplish twice as much.

First begin by doing at least 10 LifeLift breaths with or without other

positions. I like doing this while I am in a pelvic tilt position, just because

it offers many other benefits to combine those pelvic tilt poses with the

LifeLift breaths. This should take about 5 minutes.

To begin this lie on your back. Now put the palm of your hands on your navel-

then close your eyes and connect with your thoughts as you make the motions to

rub that fat away.

Use your right hand, start at your navel then rub clockwise from the center,

that is from right to left, first in small circles, then increase the circles

until the upper and lower abdomen are being rubbed when you have covered both

the lower and upper abdomen reverse the movement counter clockwise , this time

the circle gets smaller with each and every counter clockwise rotation until you

are back at your navel. I like to do one complete LifeLift breath before each

rotation. This way I am in the " lift " portion of the LifeLift! breath when I

start the circles. One complete LifeLift breath before the circle and one when I

start the counter clockwise rotation.

Do not apply intense force, you want a simple gentle rubbing motion, when you

get to the navel, repeat from the start again. Do this at least 10 times,

ideally 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening before bedtime.

What is happening when you apply your right hand on your belly and you are

performing the clockwise movement is that energy is being passed from the hands

through the skin to your belly, so as you go in circles, you are applying energy

to the muscles of the stomach. This combined with the health-building oxygen

from the LifeLift breaths will be fueling the fat burn on the abdomen area, and

the oxygen will be benefiting your entire body with each LifeLift breath you

take.

To make this exercise more effective visualize the energy from the hands going

through the skin to your belly, gently massaging and burning fat off your

abdominal area.

You will be creating stimulation to your entire body but your intestines, your

digestive and bowl system and your blood vessels in your abdomen area will

receive the most benefit. You will be disturbing and breaking up fat

accumulations from their resting place where it will be passed into your

elimination system.

Those stubborn fat accumulations will be disturbed from their resting place,

broken up, where it is passed into the bowl system and eliminated.

In the Original LifeLift DVD and Video I have shown you how to rub your abdomen

in a clockwise position to encourage proper bowl movement to relieve bloating,

constipation and to allow you to have regular bowl movements. Constipation can

cause water retention and weight gain.

This morning one of our loyal LifeLifter's posted the message below to one of

our LifeLift support groups. I loved this message and wanted to share it with

all of you. Any time we see positive, informative messages like this it helps

inspire all of us to stop and do our LifeLift breaths. The benefits are endless.

" I wanted to share some info about how LifeLift

contributes to a stronger digestive tract, promotes regularity &

results in better health as it relates to elimination...

My younger son is a Ph.D. candidate at UC in the Nutrition &

Food Science departments, and last night we were discussing the fact

that our intestinal tract is a " sheath " of smooth muscle -- Doing LifeLift

breathing also flexes that long muscular tube of our colon, which

tones & tightens it up, reducing its diameter (to something like the

circumference of a strong/skinny garden hose, rather than that of a

fat/flabby drier hose!)

Now, here's how you can SEE that doing your LifeLift flex-breathing is

actually strengthening, toning & slenderizing the smooth muscles of

your intestines: Notice that the shape of your bowel movements has

changed to being thinner (like a lean garter snake) instead of bigger

(like a plum! plump boa constrictor) -- This is a good improvement,

resulting in much LESS straining on the stool to evacuate your bowel,

which is a much SAFER condition for your blood pressure & the HEALTH

of your entire circulatory system too <:-)

So this is just one more GREAT benefit of practicing LifeLift !!! "

How about a little inspiration?

This is the question sent to the LifeLift support list

" Has everyone had such great success with LifeLift? What seems to be

noticed first, tummy, butt, hips, butt tighten? Count me in.

Deb

-------------------

" Yes, Deb, there IS a " Santa Claus " <:-) and LifeLift is nothing short of

miraculous -- My first WEEK on this program, I lost a grand total of 17

inches from 10 measuring points (bust, chest, upper abs, waist, lower

abs, hips, each biceps & both thighs) with most spectacular losses

coming off my upper abs, waist & lower abs !!! Whichever body area/areas

you target with muscle flexing WILL shrink from burning up the fat

deposits there (and I didn't do ANY positional exercises, just the LifeLift

flex-breathing ONLY)... "

Your friend,

CC

-------------------

Deb,

Sometimes I think I'm going to have no waist at all if I continue

LifeLift...just

kidding but I literally can watch my waist dwindle away when doing LL

continuously. Heck, I even notice it the first day or so.....it's awesome!

Jen

-------------------

Hi Deb,

" Yes, it works for me. My first week I lost 16 inches. My husband laughed

at me for counting my losses and jokingly said that if you measure your

body every half inch, of course it is going to add up to 16 inches! I of

course hadn't measured my body every 1/2 inch, but had measured my waist,

hips, and thighs. Those losses added up to 16 inches and I think two pant

sizes. It was quite some time ago, when I first started.

I also remember reading my very first LifeLift newsletter thinking

Rashelle had made an error in the time she did her workout. The

newsletter said she was toning up to do her video so she increased her

workout time to 4 minutes a day. She did her workout in the shower.

Well, I thought that was a typo and inquired. She responded to me that

no, it wasn't a typo and since she was already her ideal size, she was

just toning for the camera. She also had posted a formula! la to figure your

" ideal " . I used her calculations to help re-shape my figure to the

" ideal " .

The secret to this working for you is consistency. This program works

from the inside out, so be consistent and patient. It works for me. "

Karma

-------------------

Welcome to the group I think you are gonna love this program as much

as the rest of us in no time at all. I am basically lazy I do about

99 percent of my breathing either sitting or lying down and I have lost

a lot of weight and inches. I have went down at least 4 sizes maybe

more my clothes are swimming on me again I am just to lazy ( see I told

you ) to go shopping for more when they fall off I will go get more .

Be sure to let us know the great results you get also .

Molly : )

-------------------

Hey Molly, funny you should mention having to shorten the length of a

bracelet to keep it from falling off, now that you're losing so much

weight doing LL -- my friend Bunny just called to say that she tried

on an old RING this morning she couldn't wear for years because it

had gotten too tight & now it fits just FINE thanks to LL alone !!!

And CONGRATS for doing 180 LL breaths yesterday -- Pretty soon we'll

be calling you " Mini-Molly " <:-)
