Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #48
By Tami Close
Giving our burdens to God is the simplest thing we ever have to do. We don’t need to worry about all the details and how things are going to show up for us. It is that faith which Divinely guides us in our next step of action.
How often though do we give ourselves over to God’s loving embrace?
Did you know that things show up for us in the form of intuition, ideas, people, books? Sometimes we get disillusioned as we believe it’s supposed to be in the form we want it to be.
I asked for money, where is it? I asked for a better relationship, where is it? I asked for better health, where is it?
Guess what?
God always delivers. He knows exactly what you need, and the mustard seed is planted. The harvest is here when God believes you are ready.
We do get impatient while we’re waiting for the harvest. We want to hurry up and dig up the seed to ensure it’s growing. We work ourselves with worry wondering if that seed will ever produce our abundance and prosperity. What we don’t see is the miracle that is taking place underneath the ground to deliver our bountiful harvest. The Universe, in its intelligence, is cultivating the right environment.
Sometimes the answer is right in front of us, but we miss the opportunity.
When we let go of the outcome, we let God and the Universe do the work. We have planted the seed. Our only job now is to be grateful that things are evolving exactly as they should and the delivery date is right here, right now.
God intends that we are joyful in every moment, regardless of our “perception” of our circumstances.
Trust in yourself. When you trust in yourself, you trust in the wisdom that created you.
How does this relate to your health and weight loss?
It is no accident that you are reading this. It is no accident that you have subscribed to this newsletter. You are right where you need to be.
You only need to ask yourself one question.
Is this the answer I’ve been looking for?
I don’t know if I’m your answer. I don’t know if I’m exactly what you need. What I do know is that God intends me to help people with their health, simply and beautifully.
Let me see if I can help you make your decision.
Just recently, I was faced with a decision in leasing commercial space in a healing center in Silverdale, Washington. I had heard a strong message that I was supposed to get out in the community more, but I didn’t ask to lease space. I have been doing my energy and weight loss practice from my home. The landlord, who was leasing the space, called and said she had seen my flyer for my weight loss program and Isagenix products so I thought she was calling me to help her.
No, she was calling me to see if I wanted to lease space.
So I closed my eyes and said, “Okay, God, if this is really meant for me, I want a zebra to come running through my living room. Then I’ll know it’s really from You.”
Now, this seems pretty silly, but I sure was going through some of this self-talk and also putting my fingers over my eyes and saying, “When I open my eyes, I want you to send me a clear sign that this is what you mean by getting out in the community more.”
There was no zebra! No black and white of anything!
I then called a friend asking for assistance with my decision who said these words, “How many more people can you help if you are more visible in the public?”
This is exactly what I needed to hear and I made my decision to lease the space. It’s been a very spiritual experience, but you want to know something? It’s what I have envisioned for many years. I could picture myself doing this.
When Arnold Swarzennager was interviewed asking how an immigrant could possibly be Governor of California, this was his response. I pictured myself doing this and now I’m just living that picture.
What are you picturing for yourself?
We miss opportunities because we don’t want to believe that God provides in ways that we don’t quite expect. We miss opportunities because we focus on the lack of money in order to take that step in faith.
God always provides and remember it may not be in the form that we expected. Did you know your salary at your job is only a channel; it is not your Source. Your abundance only comes from one Source and He sends it to you through many different channels.
Hopefully, I’ve helped you. Make the decision that is right for you.
Choose to have abundant health. I can show you how.

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #47
By Tami Close
I’m always so in awe of the synchronicity of things. When we let things happen as God intended and not try to put our energy on the outcome or how things are “supposed” to show up, we let the Universe do its wonderful job in providing all the things to move us forward with our mission here on earth. We then have signs that illustrate that everything is aligned as it should be.
This past week I attended an Emmanuel Apostolic Church and what an experience I had. For several years now, I had felt a pull towards this church but didn’t know why. I kept thinking I have to visit this church, but then never took the action steps toward attending it.
Let me tell you about my experience. Upon arriving as a new person, I am greeted with such a warmth and love that it filled me with tears. I am then given a program and I notice the picture of the Eagle which is on the program. I asked the pastor’s wife if the Eagle is always on the cover of the program and she said, “No, we change it every week.” I open the program and it illustrates their celebration of Black History Month and the topic for that day was “health.” I said a little prayer to God thanking Him for guiding me here.
What does all this mean?
The Eagle is my guide and has a huge significance for me. I’ve written about the Eagle in my book, Wake Up…Live the Life You Love Finding Personal Freedom. Within the past week I was visiting a friend and there were two Eagles in their nest just outside her house. On the way home, I saw two Eagles flying within a few miles of each other. I then drive up my street and my neighbor had her binoculars out looking at the tree by our respective houses with an Eagle sitting in the nest. Incredible, right?
As I listened to the speakers at the church, there was no doubt in my mind why I was there. The speakers discussed health and the illnesses that plague African Americans disproportionately as compared to other ethnic groups. The statistics they quoted were quite alarming. They mentioned heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The speakers told the congregation that lifestyle changes are necessary in order to become intentional in creating vibrant health.
You can imagine how I was feeling at this time and why I was there. For years, I’ve visualized me speaking to the masses about health. Here was an opportunity to help this group overcome their adverse statistics and paint a different picture for them.
I like the phrase, “Go BIG, or go home!”
I did meet with the pastor and told him my intent and how I was going to help his congregation. He looked at me in awe when I presented him with this information as he mentioned that prior to our meeting he spoke with three of his parishioners expressing the need for better nutrition and health. Synchronicity? Absolutely!
Do I know all the details of how this is go
ing to be accomplished? No, I don’t. I just know that I’m supposed to do it and the resources and the people will show up. I know it!
What does this mean for you?
You have a mission to complete on this earth. When you are out of balance with your health, you’re so focused on not feeling good that it distracts you from your God-given assignment. You must become intentional about your health.
I remember what I wrote down years ago after reading Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield’s book, Dare to Win. In this book, you are asked to write down your objective in life and here’s what I wrote:
My purpose in life is to empower all people to teach them about health issues to realize they are responsible for their own well-being.
I wrote this down after I had gotten myself well from an illness where I was bedridden. I went through that experience so I would understand what it feels like to have poor health and then to align myself with everything that was going to help me get well. Then years later I gained weight and lost it using all the components of my weight loss program, including the products from Isagenix.
Poor health and being overweight is not where God intends us to be. Let me help guide you to better health. It is possible to feel enthusiasm for life.
Think of me as your sign that is showing up for you. What would it feel like to have support to help you and to know you’re not alone?
Remember what Oprah says, “We don’t do anything by ourselves. We must have support in order to succeed.”

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #46
By Tami Close
I was asked a question recently and thought I would pose the same question to you.
What monetary value do you put on your health?
Think about this. You put a monetary value on your home, on your car, on your furniture…..all these things have a monetary value and yet they can be replaced.
Now, let’s look at your health. Is it irreplaceable?
I asked a friend this same question, and she said her health is priceless. Well, what exactly does priceless mean in the context of health.
Before we do this, let’s look at an heirloom which is considered priceless to many. Thus, it’s irreplaceable. You take care of that heirloom. You place it in a space that is protected. You focus on that heirloom with such profound love because you want it to last so you can pass it on to family members. The intent is this heirloom stays in wonderful condition in order to preserve its meaning to all the family who will care for it for years to come. We look at that heirloom and say this is a part of us and it has incredible value.
Well if our health is priceless, then shouldn’t we be treating it in the same respect as our heirloom? Shouldn’t we be preserving our health and loving our bodies so that our family gets the benefit of what meaning we serve in their lives.
Yet, how many of us actually do this on a conscious level?
Most of the population doesn’t take the time nor invest in themselves monetarily choosing those things that will affirm nurturing, love and protection for its most valuable heirloom – YOU! Giving to ourselves each and everyday and investing in those things that affirm health is the most valuable thing you can give your family.
Which would you rather give your family? A necklace passed down from your great grandmother or a healthy, vibrant YOU filled with love for yourself? Which one has more value to pass down from generation to generation?
I can speak about this as my mother died in 1987. I have my mother’s wedding rings that I will pass on, and they do have great meaning. However, I would choose to have a mother who knew how to love herself, who knew how to take care of herself so that I could have learned from her in how to do this for myself. What greater gift is there to pass on?
I spent many years in struggle not understanding how to love myself. It wasn’t just from my mother; it was from my father as well. Neither one of them knew how to love themselves.
Guess what? Now, I have learned how to do this, and am showing my daughter, Lindsay, what this looks like. She, in turn, is finding incredible value from this as she is understanding and taking action in how to do this for herself. As a 21 year old intelligent, beautiful woman, she does the following:
• eats nutritious foods• exercises• surrounds herself with positive people• reads spiritual books• loves spending time with herself• gets massages• sees a Naturopathic doctor and nutritionist• sees a chiropractor• dates a young man who treats her with kindness• a senior at the University of Washington majoring in business, and regularly makes the Dean’s list
I am so proud of Lindsay. This picture of her would have looked much different if I hadn’t learned how to lead by example.
So let’s go back to my original question. What monetary value do you put on your health?
My answer to this question is….over a million dollars. Thus, I choose to invest my money where I will get the greatest return and that is in myself and Lindsay to keep affirming loving ourselves. Look at this priceless gift that will be passed down to generations to come. Is it worth it? Every penny!
I think of the money that it cost me when I lived in struggle, the energy and the time. Then I have to figure in the monetary amount impact to everyone else when I didn’t love myself.
Protect and nurture YOU to pass down the value to your future generations.
If you truly are ready to learn how to love yourself, contact me at tami@tamiclose.com or call me at 360-792-2209 to set up a FREE strategy session. Show your family members what they mean to you. The cycle of struggle can stop with you.
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #45
By
Tami CloseSelf-appreciation! When we love ourselves, we are in a state of high joy vibration. We have light all around us. We love the good and the so-called obstacles, which by the way are only an illusion of our perspective of those obstacles.
Years ago, when I was really sick for several months, this was definitely an obstacle….or was it? I initially saw it as an obstacle, but then I changed the way I looked at it. I had such profound thoughts of worry and fear a lot of the time, and didn’t understand how my thoughts were attracting everything I didn’t want, including this illness.
During this time, I allowed myself to do my internal spiritual work that I needed in order to SEE, really open my eyes to my life at that time—who was I and what would a person have to believe about herself to be thinking worry and fear a lot of the time?
I had thoughts of “Why did this illness happen to me?” Then synchronicity occurred. I started to read all these spiritual books which happened to just come into my life at the appropriate time. These books discussed variations on the Law of Attraction. I realized that I attracted this illness because there were lessons that I needed to learn from it, and truly get it! I was ready to receive the information and make huge changes in my life.
Sometimes the gift is in a different package than what we would hope for, isn’t it?
Prior to that illness my connection to God was very corroded. I was existing in a state of darkness with those negative emotions that were overwhelming at times, especially at night.
But you know something? I soon realized that I was the one who kept turning off the lights, and I had a decision to make. I wanted to get well, but I also wanted to know how to create my life differently. I knew that I was emerging as this butterfly coming out of her cocoon that she put had put herself in for so many years.
Incidentally, that’s why my Kick Buts Weight Loss program has a butterfly to click on—it’s a beautiful image of transformation.
It was through this sickness that I discovered me—beautiful, shining Tami. This obstacle was not an obstacle after all; it was a beautiful gift wrapped up in pink light because I changed the way I looked at it. I hadn’t known how to do self-appreciation and love myself. I didn’t even know what that looked like, but I soon learned.
What does this mean to you?
You may be encountering different things in your life right now. Your gift is right here, right now. The obstacle is only an illusion as there is something profound being revealed to you. You only have to open your eyes to see the gift of YOU—and love yourself more.
Here’s a beautiful quote taken from, "Hot Chocolate For the Mystical Lover" by Arielle Ford:
For Betterment of Conditions by Anonymous. Everything that I do, say, or think is governed by Divine Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom. I am guided into right action. I am surrounded with friendship, love, and beauty. Enthusiastic joy, vitality, and inspiration are in everything I do. I am sure of myself because I am sure of God. I know that what is 'mine' will calm me, know me, rush to me.
Isn’t this beautiful?
Recently, when I was seeing something as an obstacle, I was talking to a friend and she read this to me over the phone and it changed my thinking. I am surrounded by beautiful friends.
Do self-appreciation. Nurture yourself. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. When seeing something as an obstacle, then do a simple process. Say, “I see you obstacle and I love you for revealing yourself because you’re showing me that there is something greater in store for me.”
Then get up and shake your hiney and shout, “I am awesome! I am beautiful! I am God’s gift to the world! WAHOO!
Now here is another beautiful quote:
The greatest relationship you can have is the relationship with yourself – Tami Close

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #44
By Tami Close
We are definitely meant for greatness, aren’t we? We have the ability to transcend any thoughts we choose to experience greatness…..it’s actually a choice. Do we choose to be happy or not--live in lower vibration (unhappiness) or higher vibration (happiness)?
When we believe that things are not going well, then the lower vibration (our EGO) of thought kicks in: “Oh, it’s time to be scared. Nothing good will come to you.” Then we choose to be unhappy because of our circumstances.
We actually need to shift our thoughts when we experience our EGO talking to us. We need to do something that gets us to realign our thinking to be connected to God, not our EGO.
The intention of these newsletters is to help you with specific tools to clean your connection to God. These same tools are used in my weight loss program and I’m excited to share one of them with you….belly laughing.
Here’s some information on laughing. There is an entire industry built around laughter - and not just comedians either! There is a hybrid branch of psychology called "laughter therapy", a new exercise movement called Laughtercising, social laughter clubs, "Laughing rooms" in high-tech workplaces, Laughter workshops, Laughter Institutes, even a World Laughter Tour!
Look at this accomplishment. Katie Namrevo was a "stress eater" who had tried everything with no permanent success. One day after watching a TV program on laughter therapy, she decided to try laughing instead. Giving a new meaning to the phrase "belly laugh," Namrevo says she found that by laughing as often as 10 times a day, she no longer craved food. She began losing weight, she gained more energy and a found desire to exercise. She eventually lost 35 pounds. WOW!
Okay, ready to belly laugh. Take 30 seconds right now…wherever you are and laugh. Drop down on the floor uncontrollably and let go. Even if you’re at work, do it and see how contagious it is. You will cause an uncontrollable wave of laughter. Feels great, doesn’t it?
One caution though: Accidents can occur as a result of belly laughing. Always have a towel or change of clothing close by.
My intentions are to help you and I won’t stop until I succeed in helping as many people as I can. Why am I unstoppable? Because I made a commitment to God that I would do His work and deliver His message, and I intend to honor that commitment.
With this said, I know my weight loss program has long term value in that the results are felt in all aspects of your life with improved relationships with yourself, your significant other, your family, your friends, your co-workers. You see the world differently when you experience the components in my program. I deliver results!
Visit my website at http://www.tamiclose.com and click on the butterfly. Questions help us reach decisions so please ask away and e-mail me at tami@tamiclose.com
One final comment. “I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to do.”
Laugh often and watch amazing things happen in your life.
Love and hugs,

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #42
By Tami Close
Let’s have some fun! Right now, put on some butt-movin’ music. Get up and dance and move your body. Breathe in life and shout, “I am awesome! I am meant for greatness! I am sooooooooooooo sexy!”
I went dancing recently and realized that I need to do this more often. I get to be creative and let go…..when I’m dancing individually. It’s a different story when I partner dance.
Currently, I am with a partner who likes to partner dance and do west coast swing and salsa. He has taken lessons and has been dancing for several years. As for me, I took cha cha lessons years ago with my ex-husband and it wasn’t the best experience so partner dancing reveals a lot of things for me, which involves more than just dancing.
Picture me out on the dance floor being led around all over the place, but still trying to lead when I have no idea what I am doing. My partner informs me that I only have to follow and his responsibility is to make me look good. Follow! What does that mean? I tell him that I only want to move and shake my hiney. Of course, he tells me that it’s not the way one does it.
This has brought up some insecurities in me: “I’m not good enough. No one is there for me.”
This is a great lesson for me, and I’m determined to let go and experience “following”. As a result, I have signed up for dance lessons so that I can get better and am anxious to experience all that is intended for me.
Guess what those insecurities are related to? Childhood! There was a great deal of chaos while growing up, and I took on the belief that no one was there for me so I had to be there for myself. This comes out on the dance floor about following my partner and being able to rely on him. I have made this realization and am doing my own energy work around this. Too bad we’re not tap dancing as the EFT which involves tapping would go right along with it.
Fortunately, this man is so understanding as I explain all of this to him. We can laugh about it and he is helping me to let go on many different levels.
For today, dance and let go. Know that you are enough, and that you are whole and complete just the way you are. God is always there for you and surrounds you with his love. He also puts people in your path to help and all you need to do is ask. This is another great lesson for me.
God also encourages you to shake your hiney too because it makes you feel good. Like Wayne Dyer says, “feeling good and feeling God are synonymous.
Dance and feel your body move. You are awesome!
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #41
By Tami Close
Falling in love with yourself is the ultimate gift. Before you can fall in love with another, you must fall in love with yourself. As Wayne Dyer says, “You cannot give away what you don’t have for yourself.” Keep remembering this.
I believe this is the greatest opportunity for us to learn how to do. Did you know that there are some of my clients who have resistance in expressing love for themselves? When asked to say their name and then “I love you,” they make the choice not to do it.
Express the love for yourself right now by writing a love letter to you. Stop what you’re doing and start writing about your characteristics, your talents…..Who are you? Okay, you can read this first and then write.
Our patterns of self-criticism (EGO) can be very apparent when trying to express love for ourselves. We can easily go to “I don’t do this well. I can’t do this. I should have done this. I am such a screw up.”
Let’s create a new pattern of behavior which only represents the God within. Let’s say instead: I bring joy to others! I always smile! I’m a great writer! I laugh a lot! I love me!
Let me tell you a little story. When I was in grade school, I had a classmate named Paul. Paul was such a great artist and I remember sitting in class watching him draw and was so envious of his talent. Of course, I attempted to draw and stick figures were the result. I was very frustrated thinking that I had no talent of any kind because I focused on what I didn’t do well. I looked at others too and had those same thoughts wishing I could be like them. What I was really expressing is “I am nothing. I have nothing to offer.”
It wasn’t until many years later I realized that I’m a great writer, but hadn’t considered this a talent until I changed the way I looked at me. I now change my conversations inside and out to represent what I do well and express love for me.
You know, I did like writing as a child and used to write songs. I loved doing this…it was the way I expressed myself.
Always remember that you do have talents, you do have gifts, you are brilliant! For today, remember who you are and express your love for you by writing that love letter to yourself. Fall in love with yourself!
I love you for who you are!
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #39
By Tami Close
I trust that you are having amazing success, and I’m very proud of your commitment.
What does success mean?
A wonderful friend, who is actually part of my weight loss program, shared that success is simple steps taken towards your goal. So often though, we are very hard on ourselves because we haven’t gotten to the top of the mountain.
How do we get to the top? One step at a time.
We must reward ourselves periodically and be grateful that we are taking those steps... even when we believe we are off track. Self-sabotage, which is only our EGO, can be very destructive. It says “See, you were off track. I knew you couldn’t do it. Who do you think you are. You’re never going to achieve success.”
Remember, EGO stands for Edging God Out. With this said, it reminds us that we need to check our connection to God, clean it off and plug it back in.
Recently, I encountered my own EGO when I believed I was off track in my business. Thus, I did some work on forgiving myself. This was very soothing to my soul. What emerged from that was a refocus on my purpose, my commitment to God. Seek forgiveness for your perceived imperfections.
We are always right where we need to be, and what is so incredible is that God is right here all the time loving us no matter what. It’s when we believe that we are separate from God that the EGO is allowed to take over.
Wayne Dyer says that there is no such thing as an egoectomy, but right now let’s do something that will give us the same results without the surgery. We want to ensure our connection to God is clear, and the only way to do this is to get rid of the EGO.
Here we go:
_______________________(fill in your name), I forgive you for ___________________.
Repeat this for all the things in which you need to forgive yourself.
Then take your right hand and make a fist. Put it over your heart and in a clockwise circular motion, repeat I love you, I love you, I love you. Do this 10 times.
The EGO is removed and surgery is a success! Didn’t that feel great?
You are committed to your weight loss/healthy lifestyle goals. Periodically check your connection to God and ensure that it’s glowing.
I’m proud of you. Keep up the good work and be easy on yourself.
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #38
By Tami Close
What are your neon signs?
Often we find ourselves in the business of things hurrying to the next thing on our agenda. Thus, we send a message to our bodies that we are in the fight or flight mode. Cortisol, a hormone, is released during times of stress. When stimulated over time, cortisol can lead to cognitive impairments and increased risk for disease.
What does this mean to you?
If you are one of these people who continually gets lost in the doing, what are the results that you are getting? Is it bringing you joy or are you experiencing some maladies like anxiety, depression, intestinal problems, fatigue, physical pain, heart conditions? If it is bringing you the latter, then perhaps a dose of ME time is the proper prescription.
Years ago I was lost in the doing until I had my awakening. My doing got me so ill that I became bedridden and felt like I was just moments away from death. I was not paying attention to ME! I had a lot of huge neon signs (stomach aches, worry, sleeplessness, anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, relationship problems…just to name a few) but I kept doing so that I would be distracted from taking responsibility for my health and wealth--showing up for ME.
This illness was a gift because it allowed me to do self-introspection to determine where I needed to change my mind. Later on I attracted excess weight, another neon sign, and made additional changes. You know, I got to see Lance Armstrong at a conference recently, and he expressed looking at his cancer as a gift as well giving him an opportunity to see where he needed to make some changes in his life. Look at his results!
I can always feel my body speaking to me when I get off track in the doing rather than BEING. My neon signs will be blinking like crazy. I can recognize them easily now, and I say “thank you” to my body for being so patient with me. It’s now so easy to shift my thinking, and I’m very grateful.
Remember, like Wayne Dyer says, we are spiritual BEINGS having a human experience. We are not spiritual DOINGS.
Right now, you have BEINGS all around you just waiting to help you live in that higher consciousness of peace, love and joy. All these energies of light surround you with their love. They are excited to be here with you right now.
Call upon God, your Angels, your Guides, your Masters. Did you know they hang out with you all day long just waiting to help. You have them at your disposal at all times.
Right now, take 1 minute and express love for yourself by BEING! Instead of do deep breathing, be deep breathing. Say I breathe in, I breathe out. Be aware of your breath and be grateful. Be aware of all the BEINGS of light that surround you.
If you have your neon signs that are blinking like crazy, stop and pay attention. There’s something that you need to change. Unless, of course, you like neon signs constantly blinking in your presence.
We all need assistance in keeping us on track, and I can help you. My weight loss program has all the components that help you live in a state of BEING! I will help you shift your patterns of behavior from being busy to being peace.
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #37
By Tami Close
What does it mean to vibrate at a higher level of consciousness?
Energy is everywhere. There is no where it is not. Everything has energy. It’s either lower vibration or higher vibration, and we get to make a conscious choice which one we will choose. When we make our choice, then we’ve decided what we intend to attract. It is our decision, no one else’s. No one can make you choose either one. It’s your responsibility.
What does lower vibration look like? All negative energy is lower vibration: hatred, fear, resistance, worry, being offended, frustration, doubt…things that make you feel anxious. Every thought that expresses: “I can’t do it. I don’t deserve. I’m not enough” are all lower energies.
What does higher vibration look like? All positive energy is high vibration: love, gratitude, fun, deep breathing, exercise, music that feeds our soul, shaking your hiney as you dance, nature…things that make you feel great. Every thought that expresses: “I can do it. I do deserve. I am enough” are all high energies.
I can remember having a conversation with my daughter having a challenge with another person. She said, “He makes me so mad.” We then had a lengthy discussion about this statement.
How can anyone make you mad? It’s not possible. The decision was made to connect to lower vibration. You have to own the responsibility of your choice.
It’s beautiful to think in these terms. Each moment we make a decision: Am I going to choose to be in harmony with God, which is higher vibration…or not. You take ownership each and every moment. You have the power to choose.
Which energy do you think brings you closer to your weight loss goals?
Right now, do something that brings you harmony. This will take 1 minute or less. Let’s have some fun. Turn on some music and get up and boogey. That’s right, bring up that vibration of energy. Yes, you’re feeling it now. Even if you’re at work, let loose. You will be the envy of everyone.
Remember, it doesn’t matter what people think. What only matters is this. Am I feeling great?
If the answer is yes, then you have made your choice of the two energy levels. Let others make their choice. If they choose to be offended by what you do, you don’t have to do anything with their decision. Bless them and let it go. The Universe will take care of them. It’s that simple.
All you are responsible for is your own power, your choices. It’s all about you. It’s that simple.
Just ask yourself this question: If I intend to lose weight, what do I need to do each day to bring me in vibrational harmony with that decision?
Remember all the tools you have available: Rapid Eye Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, meditation, deep breathing, gratitude, exercise, good nutrition, cleansing and supplementation products from Isagenix, laughing, journaling, affirmations, prayer.
You are your ideal weight and attracting everything that is positive.
I’m proud of you!

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #36
By Tami Close
We all have those people who we connect with on a higher level. As you know, Wayne Dyer is my spiritual mentor who helps me stay in that higher level of consciousness. His messages resonate with me and I am so grateful that he is in my life.
With this said, I had a clear message that I was supposed to watch his DVD on the Power of Intention. I’ve watched it from time to time since I received it about a year and half ago. This Divine message was clear: Watch it daily! So for the past two weeks I have watched it during my morning exercise routine. You know how we have to listen to something over and over, and over some more before we begin to fully appreciate the message.
What has happened to me as a result of this Dyer Marathon?
I thought I was already a very calm person, but now I am even more at peace. I’m learning to manifest love for myself and connect to God in an even greater way that I could ever imagine. Each day, each moment I get to practice staying connected. What an incredible gift!
Here’s a message from the DVD I would like to share with you. When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice, of course. It has nothing to do with the person who is squeezing the orange that is producing the orange juice. This is what is already inside. Right?
Likewise when someone squeezes us by saying something negative and out of us comes a negative emotion such as hatred, then that’s what is inside of us. It isn’t the person who is doing the squeezing that is producing the negative emotion; it is what is already inside of us. Right?
Great message, isn’t it?
What do you have inside?
When you stay connected to God, you stay connected to the Divinity that is within you. Love yourself first and then love will ooze out of you. Wayne Dyer’s message is clear in this regard as well. You can’t give away what you don’t already have for yourself.
Watch what comes out of you. If you have negative stuff oozing from you, then stop. Be still. Grab something that will clean off that connection to God. What are some of those powerful cleansers? Meditation, EFT, affirmations, gratitude, deep breathing, spiritual books, Wayne Dyer’s DVD, taking a walk.
Love yourself and watch the pounds disappear because you will attract everything that will ooze being healthy. All because you loved yourself first.
Remember: You are enough! You do deserve! You are God’s gift to the world!
If you are in need of an energy session in order to clean some of your layers, I am available.
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #34
By Tami Close
Hello Divine One Who Laughs A Lot,
What happens when we laugh? What do we get to experience in our bodies? How do we feel?
I know what laughter does for me. I feel absolutely incredible and energized when I laugh. I want you to feel energized too so keep reading as I share my true story to make you laugh!
First, according to French neurologist, Henri Rubenstein, “One minute of laughter can give the body up to 45 minutes of therapeutic relaxation.” Just imagine what ten minutes can do?
Have you ever heard the story of Norman Cousins, the late editor of The Saturday Review, who was taken ill with a severe connective tissue disease? When doctors gave up on him, he cured himself with large doses of Vitamin C and comedies. He found that ten minutes of belly laughter had an anesthetic effect, and he recorded his experiences in self-healing through laughter in a best-selling book, Anatomy of an Illness.
What do you think laughter can do in terms of weight loss?
When you laugh you can burn calories according to experts at Vanderbilt University, and the more you laugh, the more you burn. Those little endorphins know exactly what they’re doing.
They’re saying, “Come here little fat cells, come to momma.” They’re unstoppable, like The Terminator, eliminating those fat cells with a vengeance.
Want more endorphins? Start laughing! Laughter = weight loss!
Here’s a few endorphins for you….something to tickle your funny bone, and it’s a true story.
As you know I have been dating, and it’s been a delightful experience. Recently, my partner and I had been e-mailing back and forth and, feeling a little spontaneous, made the decision to meet…right away. I had not seen him for two weeks so was very excited at the anticipation of our rendezvous. I was rushing to get out of the house as I had approximately a 45 minute drive to our destination point. Thus, I left the house in a hurry. As I was driving, I was quickly doing a check:
Shaved legs – Yup! Lotion on my legs – Yup! Brushed teeth – Yup! Painted toenails – Yup! HOT outfit – Yup! Yup!
Okay, I’m ready!! I cranked up the CD and continued to drive feeling pretty good. Then realized I had forgotten one check point. I took a quick whiff of the underarms. Oh, my gosh! It had been a hot day and I forgot to do the underarm check. Yikes! Odor alert….I was definitely stinky!
I rummaged through my purse checking for lotion or anything I could rub on my underarms….nothing! I started to panic a little as I wanted to be the epitome of a HOTTIE, and a HOTTIE cannot have underarm odor. I mean it’s one of the laws in the HOTTIE creed.
Surely, there must be something down in the depths of my purse……something, anything. My creative juices began to flow when I spotted the tin container. I’ve never tried using these as an underarm deodorant. Is it possible? Well, I’m a person who likes to think outside the box and this was definitely thinking outside the box…or inside the tin so to speak.
I quickly took one out of the tin, put it on my tongue to wet it and then rubbed it on my underarms. Then I smelled my underarms. I could still smell a hint of BO with a little twist of cinnamon, so I licked and rubbed again. Okay, still a slight odor. This called for more licking and rubbing. There I was on Highway 16 heading to Tacoma, Washington licking and rubbing for most of the 45 minute drive. Did it do the trick?
Yes, Altoids had saved the day…and my partner never even knew. He just thought the cinnamon smell was coming from my mouth as I had popped an Altoid right before we met.
Altoids, they’re not just for fresh breath!
You lost some pounds with that one, didn’t you? Laughter! It has to be the best medicine.
Watch a comedy tonight and watch the positive effects. Your weight loss goal is here!
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #33
By Tami Close
When we are aligned with our Creator, then everything flows simply and easily. We ask for what we want and then we detach.
I would highly recommend getting the book, I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. In it, you’ll find great information on how to attract what you desire and then learn to detach. It’s all presented in a simple format. Here’s some key things from the book:
“God said, “Ask and ye shall receive.” He did not say, “Ask and then go get it yourself.” To receive means it is coming to you. You do not have to catch it. When you do not detach, you are telling God that you can do it by yourself.
Once you have had the experience with a two-year old, you know exactly what detachment means. Take a two-year old to any store and let her walk next to you. What happens? Sooner or later she will take off running the other way. At first, you take up the chase. You are going to catch that child and grab her hand. But guess what?
Two-year olds are fast and quick. Even if you do catch her, your success is only temporary. That ball of energy will scream and kick until you let go so she can run away again. Your little prize is playing “chase me.” This is not a game adults can win. At some point, hopefully, you learn detachment. When the child runs one way, you go the other and never look back. Bingo! Your two-year old will quickly stop running away from you. In short order she will come running back to find you.
This is exactly what you must do once you have written down what you want. Turn away, and the things you ask for will come running to you. Don’t wait for them to come to you in order to be happy. Always be happy with your current situation.
Write down what you want to have. Think it through. Get excited. Feel like it is already yours. Get enthusiastic about enjoying it. Then do the smart thing. Detach yourself. Turn your back and let the Universe take over. Want what you asked for, but stop caring if you ever get it. You still want it. But in your heart, you must not care if you get it or not.
Detachment does not mean you don’t go to work. You continue to go about your life. You continue to take action. The difference is now your actions are guided by the powers of the Universe.
In nature, Universal Intelligence allows birds to thrive, grass to grow all without any special effort. The earth itself spins and circles the sun with no help from humankind. Nature prospers easily and effortlessly. Humans are part of that ecosystem. We, too, are destined to prosper easily and effortlessly.”
WOW! Detachment—probably the hardest thing to do, don’t you agree?
Do you ever wonder why things seem so difficult, such a struggle? When we’re living as if we have to control the Universe, then we are saying, “I can do this myself.” God is saying, “Hello! You’ve asked for what you want. Now, I will bring it to you. Rely on me.”
What’s more…ever met someone for the first time, and yet you felt as if you have already known him or her? This happened to me recently. I got connected with a wonderful woman, Dr. Tianna Conte, over the telephone. She exuded powerful ancient wisdom and it was such a delight to talk to her. As we were discussing life, she reminded me about the KISS principle.
Only her KISS principle is this—Keep It Simply Spiritual! Beautiful, isn’t it?
Live each day using the KISS principle! As you continue working towards your weight loss goals, remind yourself that each step is spiritual, which means it is easy and effortless. God wouldn’t intend it any other way. Write down what you want, be excited about receiving it and then detach. God always delivers. In fact, He is the best delivery man!
And above all else, BE HAPPY!
Love and hugs,
Tami

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #32
By Tami Close
Forgiveness! Is it hard or easy to forgive? What happens when we don’t forgive? Right now, are you feeling anger, resentment or rejection in your body because you haven’t forgiven? These are some great questions to ask yourself. Guess what? If you’re not happy with your current weight, do you think you’re holding on to the past? I would strongly encourage you to seek forgiveness and finally release the past. That anger, shame, resentment, rejection…..or whatever the emotion…. is manifesting in excess weight. Give it to God to handle so that you can go on with your life in radiant joy and get that negative energy out of your body. You want to feel vibrant, don’t you?
You know, I’ve asked the Universe to support my desire to speak in front of several groups of women and my call has been answered. Having said this, during a recent speaking engagement while using the RET and EFT stress release process, I recently encountered a woman who was resistant in letting go of her anger towards someone from her past.
She acknowledged that she was resistant, but expressed that, “it couldn’t be this simple to use RET and EFT to finally let go of this.” She had held on to this perceived wrong doing and lived in struggle for so long that she would not allow herself a new way of thinking. She also expressed that she did not want this person “off the hook” that easily as well.
Remember forgiveness is not about condoning the behavior. It is about releasing it from your body, your being. When you don’t release it, those emotions tied to not forgiving are in your cells and manifest themselves in physical symptoms.
Do you know who we need to also forgive? Ourselves!
When I was going through my illness years ago, I got the opportunity to watch Iyanla Vanzant on Oprah and was captivated by her story of overcoming obstacles and triumphing. She wrote a book entitled, One Day My Soul Opened Up, and her message is invaluable. I am providing an excerpt from that book:
“Once you become willing to grow, you will discover that you are not at all angry with someone for doing something to you. You are actually angry with yourself. You are angry because you now understand how you helped create your own experiences. You also recognize that the purpose of those experiences was to teach you the truth about yourself, and remind you of the truth about God.
Willingness is also an excellent vision cleanser. It gives you the ability to see yourself in other people. When you enter a relationship, you are going to meet yourself in the actions, behaviors and beliefs of those involved in the relationship with you. In some way, those people are going to do and say to you the very things you have been doing and saying to yourself.
You will come face to face with all the things about you that you know, and a few of which you are completely unaware. You are going to meet your good side, your bad side and the side for which you probably have no name.
Because willingness works like an antibacterial agent, it will remove the germs of guilt, shame, anger, fear and resentment, which could deny you the opportunity to get really clear. Once you are clear, you will be able to see exactly who you think you are by looking at what you expect and tolerate from other people.”
WOW!! Very powerful message, right? I read this and could see myself in my interactions with others. It was very profound and life-changing for me.
I needed to forgive myself for many things, and one of those was thinking that I was responsible for my dad’s death. My dad died when I was fourteen years of age, and I carried with me for many years the burden of that perceived wrong doing. I manifested many physical symptoms as a result. You can read about my journey in Close Kept Secrets to Overcoming Illness.
So let’s practice forgiveness of ourselves and others:
Take out a mirror and look into it while reading the following statements. If you don’t have a hand-held one, then go stand by a mirror.
________________ (Fill in your name), I forgive you for _____________________ (fill in the blank with whatever it is you need to forgive yourself for). I know that you were doing the best you could.
________________ , I forgive you for _________________________.
________________ , I forgive you for _________________________.
________________ , I forgive you for _________________________.
There might be several things you want to forgive yourself for or you might just have a few things. The important thing is to focus on forgiving so you can release it.
Now, do this same process for all the others in your life you want to forgive by filling in the blank with their name(s).
We’re going to end with an EFT process and I’ve outlined the points below. Use your index finger and middle fingers together and tap on the points while saying the following 5 or more times:
1) EB – Beginning of the eyebrow, closest to the bridge of the nose
2) SE – Side of the eye (either eye) closest to the ear
3) UE – Under center of the eye on cheekbone (either eye)
4) UN – Under nose
5) UL – Under lip
6) CB – Right below the collarbone (either side)
7) UA – Under the arm, about 4 inches below the arm pit (either arm)
8) CR – Crown of head. Tap all over the top of the head.
9) Form a fist and rub in a clockwise motion over your heart
I love myself!I love everyone who has showed up for me!I am perfect just as God created me!I am powerful!I am beautiful!I am owning all my power!I am responsible for my future!I am unconditional love!I am moving through life with ease!
While rubbing your heart, say I love you_____________________(your name).
Forgive yourself and others, and have that freedom from those burdens. You will radiate such amazing joy and love that people will wonder if you’re on some kind of drug. You can tell them you are HIGH!
See how incredible this is. That’s why energy release sessions have long term value. You can actually release things from your past and be done with them. I’m available to help you release everything you’ve been holding on to. You can even do these in the comfort of your own home and get the same incredible results as if you were right here in the physical. Call me and ask your important questions.
God intends for you to show your light. Is your light shining bright? I can’t see it. Illuminate it brightly so that I can see it from where I sit in Bremerton, Washington.
I love you!
Love and hugs

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #31
By Tami Close
Living in the moment! Just living and breathing in life in each moment of time, not worrying about the past, not worrying about the future…just being! It seems like it would be so easy, doesn’t it?
This concept of living in the moment, living in the NOW is the greatest opportunity we have. Each and every moment we get to evaluate if we’re happy. Be happy NOW! If we’re not happy, then what are we going to do to change our mindset?
How does it benefit us to keep living in the past? What someone did to us? What we did to ourselves? I can remember beating myself up over many things, one of which was not completing my bachelors degree at the age of 22. I would play the movie over and over again always with the same script. “Why didn’t I just finish college when I was younger? I would have been so much further ahead.” My self-talk was very critical.
Now, I made it a goal to complete my bachelors degree because it was very important to me so I did end up finishing at the age of 41. I can remember driving home after my last day of class. I finally did it! You think I would have been so elated and so happy. No! Where was the feeling that I was supposed to have….that sense of accomplishment? That feeling of WOW! I didn’t have it.
My thoughts all along were once I achieve this, THEN I’ll be happy. Life will be wonderful WHEN I graduate. Amazing things are going to happen WHEN I get that degree.
Guess what did happen? I got really sick shortly thereafter to the point I thought I was dying. It was the greatest graduation gift I could have given to myself. I allowed myself to do a lot of introspective work and learn how to change my thoughts from worry to incredible joy. I attracted my illness because there were things I needed to change. It took some time because my patterns were so deep.
It was through this experience that the message was loud and clear from God….Help others live as He intends. What you see today is a woman who is determined to get my message out and thus the reason for these newsletters. The clear point is focus on yourself, live in the moment and let God manage the rest. Remember He likes his job and He’s pretty good at it, don’t you think?
Did you know that your future is created in the moment? That’s right! What you’re thinking about right now is being transferred into the future. If your intentions are to weigh less in the future, then create it NOW by doing all the things that will get you results!
Eat nutritious foods, cleanse your body, think positive thoughts, exercise, release your stuff using RET and EFT, relax, meditate, use affirmations and belly laugh. These are tools designed to help you be happy with yourself.
Right now, be happy! Take a moment right now and do something that brings you so much joy. Write yourself a love note expressing gratitude for who you are. Start it out with Dear Sexy. Then when you’re done, take your right hand and make a fist and put it on your heart. In a clockwise motion around your heart, say I love you Sexy and repeat this ten times. Get up and shake your booty while doing it.
One more thing, you must put your finger tip on your tongue and then place it on your booty and create that SSSSSSSIZZLE! Then SHOUT, “I am so HOT, I make fire jealous!” Shout it so your neighbors hear you. If you’re reading this at work, shout it so your boss hears you. Hey, it makes you happy to do it and he or she wants you to be happy, right?
One disclaimer I must make. If, by doing the above activity, it results in an actual fire because all the elements (you being so amazingly HOT and vibrant) are there to cause combustion and the fire department has to be called, I am not responsible so don’t call me……unless the firemen are HOT themselves!
Celebrate who you are and be happy! Remember your weight loss is created right now!
Love and hugs,

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #30
By Tami Close
Expect, Expect, Expect! When we prepare and expect what we desire, we ultimately receive.
When we focus on our heart’s desires, we receive all that is ours by Divine right.
The Law of Attraction is a perfect law. It is set up to give you what you focus on. If your thoughts are those of “I can’t lose weight,” then that’s exactly what you will receive. You’ll be attracted to everything that represents “I can’t lose weight.”
Remember your thoughts have energy and when you have a thought, it goes out to the Universe to try and find its vibrational match. Your mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.
“I can’t lose weight” will find non-nutritious foods, poor relationships, fatigue. The underlying components of not deserving will keep showing up for you.
Likewise “I am my ideal weight” will find nutritional foods, high energy level, exercise program, meditation, great relationships. Deserving all that is wonderful and miraculous will keep showing up for you.
This law is so simple, isn’t it? If you’re going to think a thought, then why not make it a thought of huge proportion that will give you the results you’re desiring.
Expect your ideal weight and it automatically shows up for you.
For today, go out and buy an outfit that represents your ideal weight. Hang it in your closet or put it out where you see it everyday. Envision yourself in that outfit. Don’t you feel incredibly sexy?
I have my own ideal weight outfit. I purchased a jumpsuit when I was 21 years old and kept that jumpsuit in my closet knowing I would fit into it one day. This year when I turned 50 years old I was able to wear that jumpsuit and it feels amazing!
I wear it when I speak in front of women’s groups to create the visual that anyone can do it. It’s a very powerful message.
My comprehensive weight loss program, which includes clearing those lower vibrational thoughts with energy sessions, has the components to help you. Feel transformed!! Check out my website at http://www.tamiclose.com
Expect, Expect, Expect!! If you prepare and expect for what you desire, then you’ll receive it. It is your Divine right to be healthy, happy and to live abundantly.
What are you going to do to ensure that you have those positive thoughts on a daily basis?

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #29
By Tami Close
What joys did you experience today? When we have the relationship with ourselves and the one who created us, we have mastered God’s intention for us and living in pure joy of being. His plan is to take care of everything else and make life simple and effortlessly. Do we always listen to His message?
I wasn’t listening myself recently. I had been on such a great course with giving myself down time for a nice relaxing bath, reading, meditation and journaling before going to sleep, but over the past few months I hadn’t been doing this. Guess what happened? I was experiencing the “out of balance” blues. I was feeling this inner turmoil….all because I wasn’t spending the quality time with myself and God at night. Then an angel gave me a wake up call. Thank you, God.
While I was driving I got pulled over for speeding by an angel in a policeman’s uniform; I haven’t gotten a ticket since I was 21 years old. Yes, he did write me a ticket. His message to me was “slow down.” We never know who God intends to show up for us; we just know that people in our lives show up for a reason. Remember there are no accidents, only synchronicity.
Slow down!! I’ve taken that to heart and have made some changes. I was meant to slow down, not only driving, but in my daily life. I get off track too and need to be reminded…..WHOA Tami!!
What does slow down mean to me? It means I’m living in the present being grateful for drinking water, brushing my teeth, taking a hot shower, nice comfy bed, my family, my friends. In addition, I am spending the much needed time at night to commune with God.
What does slow down mean to you? Take some time and write down what it means. Where do you need to slow down? Who is your angel showing up for you? Maybe it’s your child, your significant other, your parent, your co-worker. Whomever it is, listen to God’s message he or she is delivering.
All the books I read say to live in the present, live in the here and now. It’s also God’s message to us. Remember He takes care of the rest.

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #28

Tami CloseYou know how I like to have fun so let’s have some FUN today, okay? Seven year old Tami is ready to play!
Are you ready?
Get a mirror and make some faces at yourself….or if you’re at work reading this, turn and make a fish face at someone else. Get your family involved at the dinner table and see who can make the best fish face…..give an award for it! I wish you could see my fish face….it is the best! In fact, I’m doing it as I write this.
Here’s another idea. I love to play practical jokes. When I was employed as a trainer for a credit union, I played a practical joke that really stunk. Another co-worker and I had similar interests in laughing and playing jokes on people. One time this co-worker was out of town so I decided to get him back for some things he had done like cornering me while I was getting bombarded with tons of water from a squirt gun. Retaliation is good!
I keep things on hand in case of emergencies. You know….break open in case of fun. I have to be ready and armed. I just happened to have a fish head from the World Famous Pike’s Place Market in Seattle. This co-worker was going to be gone over a long weekend so I decided to put this fish head in his office, along with an open can of tuna. Well, the weather report called for temperatures in the upper 80’s, cooking the inside of his office. You can imagine the aroma!
When we came back on Tuesday, the smell didn’t just stay in his office; it permeated a large portion of the branch making the tellers sick and some of the members too. Fans were blowing everywhere trying to remove the pungent odor. Okay, so I did get in trouble for this, but it was so much fun. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
Was there something fishy going on you ask? Yes, there was! Set the intention to live your life on porpoise. Make everyday what it otter be. Hook ‘em with laughter. Don’t let ‘em worm their way out of fun. For the halibut, smile, dance, laugh. Have a whale of a time!
How does this relate to weight loss? When your body is in a high joy vibration, the cells come alive….you know those endorfins—I know this is spelled incorrectly…still going with the fish theme. and toxins are released. Toxins are stored in your fat cells so voila! fat is reduced. This is a simple process to use everyday!
Now, it’s your turn. What are you going to do to have fun? Don’t you just have the urge to get somebody? Don’t clam up….use your creativity and let loose!
Keep up the great work you’re doing for yourself. You are the priority! Make every moment an eely good moment!

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #27
By Tami Close
Imagine your life exactly as you want it to be! What does it look like, what does it feel like?
Years ago after I had gone through my illness experience (I prefer to explain it as my “enlightening”), I began to feel and sense things on such a profound level. Things were opening up for me and becoming very expansive. This scared me somewhat as I couldn’t understand what was happening. When I went back to my energy practitioner, she explained that I was opening up all my energy fields and thus was allowing who I truly am to come to be. I am being who God intended.
Do we all have this capability? Absolutely! We are meant to experience things on such a grander scale, but our layers of stuff prevent us from coming into contact with who we really are.
Take a few moments. Sit back and close your eyes. Wait! Don’t close your eyes yet….WHEW! Okay, read this first and then close your eyes.
If you were going to describe your life to someone, and you could only use descriptive words, which words would you use? Use a lot of detail to describe it. If you say it is rich, what does this mean? Describe rich.
Take a few moments and use your imagination.
What does your life look like? What do you see?
What does it feel like? What’s the texture?
What sound does your life make?
What does it taste like?
When you speak of your life, what do you say?
Now tap into your sixth sense. This is Spirit, the Universe calling to you. What is your purpose?
You know what has been interesting? As I think about who I was and attracting my illness to help me do my introspective work, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. I used to be a rescuer, the one who needed to make it okay for others, especially my ex-husband. I was the poster child for Manager of the Universe, leaving me last.
I can now describe my life in such vivid, enriching terms. Without my own energy clearing, I wouldn’t have been able to do this though. I needed to clear a lot of internal stuff that was standing in the way of me living a deeper, richer life. Now I’m here living my life on purpose and it feels incredible!
Recently, I’ve encountered more men who are the rescuers, the managers of the Universe, the ones who need to make it okay for their partners. This isn’t just unique to women; men also have these patterns of behavior as well.
Why am I attracting these men? Because men don’t talk about their issues with others, and I can certainly relate to their pattern of behavior. I can teach them to release so they can find their way back to their wholeness. It’s time to release having to be it for someone else. We only need to be responsible for our own lives.
If your layers prevent you from calling forth that which God intends, perhaps you are in need of energy clearing to release your stuff. Visit my website at http://www.tamiclose.com and take advantage of my weight loss program, which includes energy clearing.
There is value in feeling tremendous love for oneself. You feel goosebumps all the time. You have this amazing energy and zest for life. You wake up each day anticipating miracles.
Do it for you! You are the priority! You are enough and you do deserve!

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #26
By
Tami CloseAre you using your imagination to manifest everything you want? Do you envision abundance flowing to you? Remember the mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined? Act as if!
Scripting is a powerful way to do this. In the book, Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks, there is an activity where scripting is done to bring you the people or things you desire. I’m going to illustrate the ideas from this book as I’ve been doing this and more and more things are coming my way. Powerful? Absolutely!
“If something that you desire is not coming, it can only be that you are not allowing it to come because of the thoughts you practice that are contrary to your own desire. Nothing else prohibits you from realizing your dream.” Wow! Are you getting it that YOUR thoughts are bringing you what you focus on?
This is taken from the book verbatim.
“Here’s how the scripting process works. Pretend that you are a writer and that whatever you write will be performed exactly as you write it. Your only job is to describe, in detail, everything, exactly as you want it to be.
As you are having fun playing the game, and are not taking it too seriously, any of your hindering beliefs are less likely to be activated. In other words, by pretending that your computer or notebook is magical, and that whatever you desire can be realized, you accomplish the two things that are necessary in the achievement of anything: You focus the lens of your desire, and you offer no resistance.
You literally script any life that you desire, and the Universe will deliver to you the people, places and events just as you decide them to be. For you are the creator of your own experience—you have only to decide it and allow it to be.”
Here’s what I do. I write my own screenplay with me as the main character. Okay, I’ve always had an affinity to be on stage and this way I get to be the star. I write the screen play, the conversations, including the other actors exactly how I intend them. I use my imagination to envision all of it; it’s really fun to do this. I’ve had the exact conversations that I envision. It is truly amazing!
I’ll be honest here. I do let my imagination run wild sometimes when I’m in the mood to play as I script. George Clooney is one of the actors I put in my screenplay. We look into each other’s eyes and then….. I think you get the picture. Won’t it be fun to see when I actually meet him?
If there is something that you desire that has not yet come to fruition, scripting is a very powerful way to speed it up.
Now, your turn. You are the star of your own movie. Pick one area of your life that you want to write a screenplay and start writing. Have fun with the process and don’t get caught up with, “I can’t envision me as a sexy, vibrant person.” Oh, YES, you can! Keep the vibration at a higher level for you are to born to manifest all that is wonderful. Remember it doesn’t have to be a long process, but the most important thing is “let go.” Keep scripting daily. I would love to hear what manifests as a result for you.
Your desires are right there waiting for you. Invite them in and bring them to you. You are a SUPERSTAR!

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #25
By Tami Close
Hello Magnanimous You!
Isn’t magnanimous an incredible word? It’s a four syllable word…WHEW! That’s who you are! How could you not be since you are made perfect as a child of God?
WOW! Each day keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it? Imagine over the course of the last few months how your life has changed. You’re becoming more and more aware of the daily focus on you that is required for your life to be vibrant.
What happens when you give to yourself? You become more connected to God. Giving to yourself is the key to receiving everything that you intend to attract. In Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsh mentions that it is truly about Self. Who are you being in every moment? Did you know Neale Donald Walsh used to be homeless? Now look where he is. He has learned to give to himself and let the abundance flow to him.
What happens when you give to everyone else and leave yourself last? You become disconnected to God. You’re running around ragged and wonder why you’re so exhausted. Can you really be loving towards your family when you’re so run down?
What is the solution? Make a commitment to you and spend time doing something that brings you joy. Listen to music, go for a walk, take a nice relaxing bath, light some candles, go to a park and stare at the clouds, journal, meditate, read a book…whatever it is where you can have some quiet time.
Just for today…..choose at least 15 minutes to do something for you.
You know what I’m going to do? Right now….okay, after I write this newsletter….I’m going to put on Earth, Wind and Fire and go sit outside in the sun and make clouds disappear. I may just sing really loud and dance which could alarm my neighbors. I love stirring up things. It’s about having fun, isn’t it?
I believe in you and am glad that you are part of my life! My life is abundant because you’re in it.
Love and hugs,
