• to extend longevity and the secret to improving your own health by practicing one simple exercise
• Ingrid’s view on the chemical and emotional aspects of food and healing
• why we went from several diseases to over 30 000 disease in 30 years.
• why we have more cancer, diabetes, obesity and thyroid disease and what we can do about it
• how to make sure we don’t create chaos in the body

Hey, lovely peoples! Ok so today, I’m going to expose how your perception of what a treat is can really determine what you eat, then how you feel and how you look! Yeap, totally true!
If you think a treat is cake, ice-cream, soda, alcohol or candy as opposed to divine berries, home made low sugar desserts and other pleasures like flowers, a good massage, a big hug or a beautiful cup of organic tea, then your view of a “treat” could be the one thing that is threatening your wellbeing.
I share my idea of treats; a clear ritual and action I take to truly nourish mind, body and soul. My treats are really good for me! They don’t make me feel sick ½ an hour later! I don’t kid myself and pretend that having a cocktail each day or ½ a block of chocolate is a treat. It’s not. Rather, it’s a potential threat to rocking health and emotional stability and stable rocking glowing energy. Least we not forget the hot bod you want right? So, remember each decision you make can either be loving or not so loving.
HOTNESS in BODYLOVE LAND:
Now, let me be clear HOT goes beyond the physical and the word ‘HOT’ is linked to METABOLISM and powerful digestive FIRE = HOT, HEALTHY & HAPPY! The moment we honor the body with good food and a self loving juicy Bodylove mindset, the body transforms. More to come on that! It’s quite a spectacular thing!
So do yourself a favor and start to review your own perception of what is good for you. Write down how you treat yourself and then come up with replacements. Try it out for a few weeks and see how you feel and look improve big time! I challenge YOU!
Remember if you want a different result you need to do something different! A great way to do that is to evaluate your beliefs. In doing so, we start to cultivate AWARENESS and the path to change will come more easily. Perhaps you can try treating yourself with something far more nourishing? Come on give it go and let me know!
There is no time like the present to enter into a new sassy mode of living! I just love living the good life and I’ve dedicated much of my time to the pursuit of nirvana or heaven on earth, as I like to call it. So with my passion for all things juicy, I’m launching Bodylove Beauty Food with me, Miss Bodylove A.K.A Ingrid Arna, in the kitchen.
You see, I’m on a mission to help women heal their bodies, on both an energetic and physical level! So to support your journey, I’m going to cook up a storm bringing you divine food to nourish your body, mind and spirit. With Bodylove Beauty Food and The Bodylove Diet ( launching in MAY – a ground breaking myth busting program), you will gain a whole new appreciation of food, sex, love, beauty and your body.
You will receive lots of juicy information on mind- body rituals, energy clearing, healing foods, releasing fears, weight loss tips and juicy delights to inspire self love, pleasure, weight loss and YES, least we not forget a beautiful rocking and healthy body.
Many of us have been told that we need to deprive ourselves and suffer to reach beauty but that is absolutely not the case and quite BOGUS actually! In other words BS. I love to curse just to get my point across! J
To live in beauty we must be beauty. So how to we BE BEAUTY? Simply by learning to love and nourish the divine sacred bodies that we have. This is the beauty that is limitless and never ending. So if your 20 or 70, this kind of sacred beauty lives on! Now, how gorgeous is that? Woo Hoo! The health – happy – beauty revolution is finally here!
Some of you know me well and others of you don’t know my full story. Here is a brief snap shot. I used to have a whole truck load of fears around food and it caused me great pain. I’ve had chronic health issues including a life threatening illness and an eating disorder. I starved my body from 12 years of age to about 25 before heading to hospital for four surgeries. I had blood poisoning from a bacteria infection, my immune system was completely shot and my metabolism was pretty much non-existent after torturing myself in an effort to be a success in the world of entertainment and modeling. After being a diet pill addicted stressed out skinny mini for ten years, I gained about 20 kilos (45 pounds) the minute I started to eat again. Expletives could be heard world wide as I keep piling on the weight!
I decided that my life was too hard and that in order for me to really live in beauty, I had to create a mega shift, if I was going to have the pleasure filled live I wanted. I literally got down on my hands and keens and prayed for guidance and that is when the word “Bodylove” came to me. I got my groove on and set about creating a new reality for myself. In the process, I healed my body and my relationship with myself and with food. As I surrendered into my pleasure path, I began to reveal a new way of living that recreated my beliefs, then reshaped my body on a spiritual, cellular and physical level. Then from that point, I reinvented my entire way of living and relating to live. I filled myself with love and then in turn became a magnet to love in all areas of my life. I met the man of my dreams, got rid of the toxic relationships and attracted a new juicy, sassy, loving possy of empowered friends and business partnerships.
When we release our fear of food, we can embrace eating for pleasure and self love, which reconnects us to the wisdom of the body. We then begin to trust in life and in love which taps into our inner radiance, divine beauty and intuitive guidance. We come vessels of love and then the world around us changes to match our new energy! – Board certified health counselor, Ingrid Arna
So this is my contribution and gift to all women (and you too boys!) to inspire a healthy, happy, beauty revolution! So the truth is if I can heal my body then you can too! I now have over 12 years of intensive study behind me. I know I look so very youthful but in actual fact, I’m 36!! Yeap, you see the great thing about eating for self love, pleasure and rocking health and body, is that it has anti-ageing benefits too! How super is that!

Happy New Year Everyone! Well I am sitting on my deck at the beach at one of the most glorious places I earth, Bryon Bay. I feel great and I am so pleased that so many of you are feeling excited about 2010. Many of you no doubt have set several New Years Resolutions. I don’t really dig the word “resolution” so instead of having resolutions, I have decided this year to have a set of clear intentions. I prefer the word intention but goal setting and commitments are other strong words to use. To intend for me means to focus all my attention towards the outcome I desire. What is different about this years set of intentions is that whilst I would love for my dreams to be realized the utmost value and intention for me is to live with a sense of pleasure. Pleasure defined my MISS BODYLOVE, is a life where my goals don’t define or create my happiness. I am happy now in this moment. Why? Because I am deeply gratitude for all that I have now. In 2009, I committed to changing my life and now I am reaping the benefits. My soul, my body and my mind are at peace because I changed my perception of success and changed all aspects in my life to meet my new vision. (More on that in the future)
So this is how I see resolutions, goals or whatever you want to call them. My dreams may eventuate this year, some may change and some may form in ways I never imagined but my wellbeing and happiness is not reliant on those goals. And I am certainly not about to control and force an outcome; a past habit that has left me exhausted, frustrated and overwhelmed! So I am done with that mantra and over the course of 2009 I have learnt to push my PLEASURE BUTTON (more on that in another blog). I will continue with this new found pleasure filled way of living because I feel great living like this. My relationships have improved, I’ve never looked or felt so good, I’m rested, at peace and my career is taking on a new momentum and it feels so right.
So for 2010 it’s all about intending to live in PLEASURE, that is a life full of love, laughter, work that I am passionate about, a Zen home that is my sanctuary, great food, great friends with whom I share common interests and foremost my health. Compassion, deliberate intention, letting go, allowing, excitement about life, for me are is the juice to my wellbeing, the key to manifesting my goal and dreams (in divine timing).
Whilst it may sound frivolous for some this is the only pursuit worth living for. The rest of my lofty goals will develop in good time grown from seeds of love, faith and patience. I am over pushing and after many years of struggling thorough life I have been forced to stop, reassess and reconfigure how I live. I have stopped listening to others tell me how to life (unless they are people I really feel I can learn from), I have stopped needing any confirmation from outside sources and have finally learnt to trust my own internal navigation system. So I vow to love more, to be even more connected to my inner voice, to live in accordance with my values and to be graciously happy just because I love life. I am having a blast playing with life and each day it gets better as I learn to let go and go with the flow.
I am excited to share that I am about to get my diploma in Eating Psychology and my certification as a health counselor will be completed before 2010 is completed. I look forward to sharing my study, continual research and personal insights with others this year via counseling, coaching, cooking classes and more!
An easy simple life is what I have created and if the big wigs come a knocking great and if not I don’t really care because what is most important to me, I already have. Have fun, take care of your health and relationships and I truly believe the rest will come. My advise is to slow down (something that is not typically encouraged in society today), trust yourself and the life of your dreams will develop with ease and grace rather than with force and stress.
If you have any questions or concerns about how to live in a pleasure filled way post your comments here or email me and I will post answers at my BODYLOVE Blog.
You are all very precious and very loved! Rock on in 2010, Ingrid Arna xo
Interesting facts on the success rates of resolution:
Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals. Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, a system where small measurable goals are used (lose a pound a week, instead of saying “lose weight”), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends. – Wikipedia
