The most delicious thing happens when you truly, deeply value and validate yourself. Others begin to value you more, babe, because they are reflecting back to you your own beliefs about yourself and what you deserve! Magical, isn’t it?! It’s a delicious manifestation and all it takes is the willingness to think delicious things about yourself. Any crap in your life takes a hike – the peeps that don’t respect you fade away or change their tune as quick as you can say ‘delicious!’ All you have to do, honey child, is change what you say to yourself. Speak sweet-nothings to yourself and give yourself the love you need. Validate yourself and don’t wait for others to do it for you. Trust me, I know from experience. I don’t need permission, approval or validation from others because I give myself the reassurance and love I need to flourish. It’s wonderfully liberating, incredibly powerful and supremely delicious. What happens when you give yourself this gift is that you free yourself from being dependent on the approval of others. Of course, it’s nice to receive praise, but the problem arises when you depend on it as your only source of appreciation. When you depend on it, you run the risk of becoming needy, and that results in unhealthy and disempowering behaviors. Better to think of outer praise as icing on the cake and inner praise is the necessity. This way you get the whole cake, baby!

So to commence with your deliciousness manifestation, start by validating yourself, and start now! Times ticking… live connected to your inner power and own it baby! Initially, it may feel awkward because hearing and listening to your inner champion is a totally new experience. But trust me, just like driving a new car, you’ll get the hang of it. As you steer your way towards self-love, the smoother and more pleasurable your ride will become.

Bodylove Blessing

To begin the deliciousness manifestation, chant this mantra at least ten times a day! Post it on a wall, in the kitchen and or at your desk. Just anywhere and everywhere that you will see it, and repeat it like your new personal mantra.

I love and approve of myself completely. I AM divine, deserving and delicious!

Yowza, yes you are babe! Own it! Speak it, walk it!

I live a delicious life because I don’t need permission or validation from anyone to follow my heart or pursue my passion. If I waited for the praise so many of us desire, I’d probably be six feet under! HA HA!!! That is why I tell myself ‘I’m fabulous.’ I am. And so are you! It’s not about being in full blown ego, it’s about how we value ourselves. It’s about honoring, loving and celebrating yourself. It’s about seeing and believing in your gifts… not discounting them. It’s about trusting in your visions and implementing them with passion and finesse, girl!

The truth is we are all born for greatness. What keeps our inner genius trapped is our feelings of being less than. That’s a lie. If you want to live in truth, live your awesomeness with courage, clarity and gratitude. I spent years diminishing myself or longing for the approval of others, but that kept me in a weak, needy state disconnected from my inherent inner power. What I’ve learned is …the more loving, kind, forgiving and powerful thoughts you have about yourself, the more health, beauty, energy, pleasure and happiness you will have! Fabulous. True. Rockin’! You’re divine and don’t you ever forget it!

Remember if you want to change your life, you have to change your thoughts and you have to be conscious of what you say to yourself, so that you can get your new energy purring along. If you aren’t completely getting what you want in life, or you’re feeling a bit down and out, it’s a wonderful sign that you need to change your thinking and your perception of what’s going down in your life and what you deserve. No need to freak out, babe. Just get busy with chanting your mantra and ask yourself what you really want, and then go about focusing your attention purely on your desire. Ok so here you go, let’s answer that question right now. What do you really want?

Once you’re really clear about your desires, then you must follow up with the goods, and move into pure action baby. The best way to create what you want is to create it. But first off, you must get your gorgeous brain thinking purely delicious thoughts! As soon as you do, divine synchronicity, healing and attraction jump into play, and miracle manifestations flow. Woo hoo! Bring it on!

Do you plan for self care? It’s an art and a necessity to integrate beauty rituals into your busy life if you want a juicy loved up experience! I’m all about PLEASURE and enjoying all the juiciness life has to offer! Pleasure is the ultimate beauty elixir! I’ve tried the struggle, force and control and that just made me miserable, tired and bloated. As I learned to surrender and be kinder to myself, my body began to heal and my life became more fun, playful, abundant and happy! Yipee! So here’s something that will make you salivate – 40% of your metabolic power is linked to your ability to receive pleasure. Yeap, pretty cool. So the more we bash and bully the body into weight loss the more we actually diminish our bodies ability to digest food, heal and burn fat. The solution – RELAXATION!

My man is out Friday night and I’m pondering on what I want to do and it looks like I’m going detox body and soul on Friday solo in my bath! Bliss! I’ve learned over the years that in order to feeling fabulous, grounded and connected to myself and my body, I need to take time out to replenish my soul. It maybe a 15 minute bath or a bit more sleep, a girls night out or a bit more time for cooking and eating nourishing meals or exercise. Note to self – a beauty regime takes planning and a commitment to ones self as a priority.

So the question is, do you plan for self care, a chill-lax and pleasure or do you push forward expecting someone or something else to take good care of you?

Many women grow tired and resentful because they’re so exhausted and it’s understandable. Women have a lot of roles to play and for many as we build businesses and have families the responsibilities and the to do list becomes endless. So what’s a girl to do? Plan for YOU. You must. It’s imperative. Don’t wait till you reach exhaustion and then blame others. It’s waste of your time and typically damaging to your relationships. Also you need to take responsibility. It’s no ones fault but your own. Sorry but I am here to support you not BS you!

When was the last time you planned for your own pleasure? There is always a way to make it happen IF you make it a priority. Take ACTION! What are four things you can schedule in over the next month for you? Do you need someone to baby sit your kids? Can you offer to baby sit their kids to create a swap system? Do you need to hire a virtual assistant? A house cleaner? Or book in a facial once a month, see a health coach or have a girls night out or in the sanctuary of your own home once a month? Perhaps, it’s as simple as getting off the computer and phone for 24 hours! Hmmm, I wonder what you will come up with? Please let me know!

If the ugly beast of GUILT sets in. See it and let it go. It’s not serving you and it’s certainly not good for your health, fueling fat storing hormones that take over your body. You deserve rest. Take it. Perhaps life was meant to be easier than we make it? Rest allows me to tune inwards and the stillness without fail always taps into my inner wisdom. It will work like that for you too.

I bet you a million bucks if we plan for baths and pleasure we’d all be a lot more loved up, healthy and chilled out. So I’m off to have a bath in the middle of my renovations, TV pitching, book writing, wedding plans and clients. I know I can fit in 20 – 30 minutes to be super deliciously kind to me. Can you? I used to feel guilty and now I don’t. Feeling deserving of a juicy life comes from starting to integrate juicy experiences into your daily routine. As you enjoy the pleasure and see that the world is still standing, and that you personal don’t need to hold it up, you will start to relax into a whole new way of living.

I don’t believe in the power of will power but more in FREE WILL. Desire, creativity, passion & intention come from free will & it feels FAB! That’s how I lost weight, healed my body, overhauled my metabolism and got my sassy mojo purring in fine form – with intention, desire, energy and trust. As you relax into life, you will in fact attract more abundance because you’re actively saying I trust life, I deserve to feel good, I’m abundant and a person deserving of rest and pleasure. And you know what you get what you put out, right? So stop stressing and start a new sensual relationship with YOU!

Welcome to the Bodylove Pleasure Revolution!

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!

So, please join me by posting your questions here at my Blog or on Facebook @Ingrid Arna. I would love to hear from you! Also if you like my blogs and video please share the beauty of Bodylove my forwarding to your friends and loved ones. You can do it in two seconds by sharing below!

City News - Ingrid Arna Bodylove Weight Loss

Hey sexy chicks! I hope your having a fabulous day in self-love and rocking your body! As you can tell, by my super excited dialogue I got a great feature in City News that I’m very excited to share with you!

Now, I’ve been featured in Cosmo, Cleo, Instyle and Body & Soul, but this is the first article that expresses my passion for healing the body with nourishing food. I open my heart and share my story of suffering from adrenal fatigue whilst running my business in NYC and how that challenging time, took me to a deeper place of self awareness and growth. I’m happy to report that my energy is soaring and I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been. My metabolism is purring along and I know now what to eat to make me literally feel beautiful from the inside out.  And I can’t wait to share it with women from all over the world. Can you imagine the feminine power we would have as a collective group if we felt truly free to nourish our bodies, we had rocking health, gave up the body bashing war and became total loved up vixens! It would literally change the world.

I’ve developed a program for you as my gift from me to you. With 15 years of study, research and my own healing journey, I am developing a ground breaking program for any woman who wants to be a sexy siren with rocking health and vital energy. The program will clear out the junk in the trunk by supporting you and guiding you to release sabotaging beliefs, to become an energy alignment for that which you want in life. The program will literally change your body and the world around you.

You can still work with me privately for a few more months. My sassy new site launches in May! It’s time to end the “no-pain- no gain” motto and enter into a pleasure-based world of eating, living and loving. This is the mind, body and soul makeover that will rock your world. Hmmmm how yummy!

Love to hear your thoughts so be sure to post a comment here or on Facebook and if you questions shout out!
