I developed what I call the Nirvana Diet as a 'diet for the mind' because it provides the missing link to successful weight loss... mastering the 'inner game' - the psychology of successful weight loss that includes a powerful process of Guided Meditations and Hypnosis. The goal is to be thinner and feel more beautiful from within.  This is how you lose weight, keep it off, feel great and finally break the cycle of relapse.  The Nirvana Diet provides tools to empower people to live a happier healthier life by showing them how to access their full potential.

How The Nirvana Diet System is Different

 It's a diet for the mind, body & spirit!  The Nirvana Diet is an online course that addresses the psychology of successful weight loss using a powerful process that includes Hypnosis and Guided Meditation. Most people who lose weight eventually gain it back within one month. This dismal statistic is because the way we think of the word “diet” is wrong. In fact, the word “diet” comes from the Greek word diatia, which means “manner of living.” In other words your diet has to become your manner of living.   Skyler Fontana: "When you think of it this way, losing weight …

In search of your Creativity: The Real Hunger Game

Young blond woman eats chocolateLet me just start out with saying stories and movies like the Hunger Games are not feeding the soul.

If you stopped to think about it, you might ask yourself what you hunger for that you cannot name or do not recognize? Some would say it is creativity that really feeds the sou. Creativity is what we really hunger for and the capacity for creativity comes from deep within… an authentic place the yogis and Carl Jung called the Self. To access this creativity requires you to know yourself differently. Most of us never go beyond the lens of the ego. The ego is a filter thru which you experience your reality that is based on the past, the culture and may not reflect who you really are. As creativity is denied in our culture and marginalized in the educational system, we feel a hunger we mistakenly try to fill by consuming things. For more information on how we are stifling creativity see Ken Robinson’s Ted Talk.

James Hillman the founder of what we call archetypal psychology said that “creativity is in and of itself an instinctual drive just like the drive to eat” This means that the satisfaction of creativity is a requirement of life. We all have the need to fulfill our creative drive. How you go about doing that is what you need to look at. Most of us focus on our work and the roles we play in life such as parenting. This may not feed the creative drive and cause one to feel a sense of dullness about life that also lacks meaning. If so you are not feeding your creative drive properly, this could spill over into other drives like eating, shopping and other escapist modes of behavior that do not fulfill or fill.

So how do you get back on track? First we have to redefine creativity. I love this definition: “The genie of creativity is bottled up for most of us-to liberate the genie is to become a genius” (Goswami, 1999, p. 17). Stay tuned to find out how to become a genius.
