Healing a Long-Term, Painful Relationship with Food

For many, food the most basic, life–sustaining sustenance, has become the enemy. The body has become the enemy. How did this happen?

Even when the body is ready to move on and heal, the mind can stay stuck in the painful past when pain has become a way of life. I know this is happening with a client when their body is saying a food is compatible but they have been told and believe certain foods are harmful or have had a lot of food intolerance issues over a long period of time. In this case, the compatible food, even highly compatible food may have the expected negative effect (placebo effect). Even when healing is happening and becoming evident, It’s hard to trust again. Trust the freedom. Trust the healing.

We are not here to live in a “Food Prison”…any prison. We are here to live abundantly!

There is a way to move past the fear of food and heal this relationship as the body heals. Fear does become a habit, just like any other habit. And habits are made to be broken.

First, let’s consider this…

Everything is energy vibrating from extremely low to extremely high and everything in between… including our food and “our thoughts”. Many have heard me say, “If you judge your food, it will judge you back”.

How many have said, “This cake is going straight to my hips.”? Or something similar? You just helped it get there!

The energy of judgement is very low and the energy of unconditional love is extremely high. “Like” energy attracts “like” energy. We may say we want one thing, but our negative thoughts, words and resulting emotions are saying just the opposite. Keeping this in mind, it is not hard to imagine what happens when we judge our food and what is possible when we bless it with love and gratitude and our undivided, loving attention.

I had a client early on that challenged this premise to the extreme. This client and I had been working together for about 6 months and during that time her vibrant health had been restored and she had met her weight loss goal. She had healed the “root” of her dis-ease.
The time had arrived for her to go on the cruise her and her husband had been looking forward to for a long time. This experience was really going to put to the ultimate test what she said she knew and now believed. She was a little nervous…

Was it possible to go on a cruise where FOOD is the main event without sabotaging her good health or gaining weight? The proof is in the puddin’. She lost weight on the cruise. Who does that!

When we bless our food, give it our attention (love), and enjoy it, we give it every opportunity to bless our body, no matter what it is. Our body is Divinely Designed to take from the food what it needs and release what it doesn’t. “We” clog the wheel of what our body does naturally when we judge the food.

It’s easy to fall into the judgment trap when so much of our food supply contains toxins and chemicals. It’s becoming hard to even know what is in our food”, especially when dining out. A lot of people eat out these days! It was hard for me to stay out of judgment until Spirit provided the answer.

“Our Source Good/God is in All of Creation. It cannot be any other way.”
We may call something “manmade”, but the reality… God Stuff or Good Stuff runs through all of it. It may be far removed, but it is still there. Consider that it takes Mother Earth’s organic materials to make a chemical. The creative clay (Divine Inspiration) and physical clay, Mother Earth (God’s birthing place), births all of our creations.

With this in mind, how might we amplify the good that is the back of everything; bring it into the forefront and expand it? Love and gratitude does this, not only in our food; but in all of our life! Judgement keeps the good (the love) buried. It is what buried our Love and our Good to begin with.

If food has become the enemy in your experience, you might experiment with a love and gratitude blessing over your food (no matter what it is) and then give it your undivided, loving attention…turn off the TV, close the book. Pay attention to the flavors and textures. Pay attention to when you feel satisfied. Enjoy it!

There is NO doubt that a sincere, heart-felt love and gratitude blessing raises the energy of the food. I demonstrate this in every workshop in a way that can be “seen” with your physical eyes. Your loving attention and enjoyment can even bring the food into compatibility with your body. There is a GOOD reason every culture has been blessing food from the beginning of time in one form or another.

Feel free to use my food blessings:

Long Version:
“Thank you for this delicious abundance! Thank you for every creation that took part in this one. Thank you for the blessing of perfect nourishment this now provides this/our body/bodies. And, thank you for the miracle of this body that knows EXACTLY what to do with it. Thank you for the sheer pleasure it brings!” In immense appreciation, love and gratitude….Amen!

Short Version:
“Let the Good/God that is in this food be expanded to bless my/our body/bodies mightily! And, thank you to every creation that took part in this one!” Amen!

While you are at it, extend this blessing into the world’s food supply. Many do not have a choice in what they eat. We have the power with our prayers and blessings to bring out the good collectively. As within, so without….

NOTE: A blessing can become a curse when you bless the food and THEN JUDGE IT. Once you have blessed it, let go of your mind and be present with your senses.

More practices for healing the relationship with food…

Mantra: “I allow this food to heal me.” Repeat as often as necessary.

One Minute Meditation
This practice allows you to see your fearful thoughts and align them with what you want every waking hour. Just set an intention to see these thoughts, set your alarm to remind you it is time to sit with your breath for 1 minute. The thoughts will arise. Notice them and go back to your breathing. Afterwards, write them down and realign with what you want.

Use this for any thoughts that are opposing your Good! Most people break the habit of negative thinking within 4 weeks when practiced diligently. This is your ticket to freedom! Bringing into the conscious mind what is running you from behind.

Food Meditation
This was one of my favorite events during a meditation retreat years ago. Go figure! I’m a foodie! What a beautiful way to fully experience the food with all of your senses. Have a food meditation party! You will need a journal for this.

To start, sit comfortably at your dining table. Blind-fold yourself. Have a friend or family member, not participating, place a large bowl full of various fruits in front of you “they” have chosen. Maybe some things you haven’t tried before. Bless everything in the bowl.
Now choose a piece of fruit. Take your time… Feel it all. Take mental note of textures. Listen. How does it sound to run your fingers over each one? Then choose one.
Bring the fruit to your nose and take in the aroma or lack of. It may need to be peeled to release its scent. Do so very slowly, honoring the process. Let your sense of smell fully engage. Let go. If the fruit is familiar, the smell alone may bring up powerful memories; may take you back to your childhood or beyond.
It’s time to eat it now. Savor it slowly with all your attention on how it feels in your mouth…the burst of flavor so very unique. What experiences does it remind you of? Make a mental note. Continue to enjoy, savoring every bite.
Remove your blindfold. You may be surprised by what you chose and how much you enjoyed it. You have made a new friend. Or NOT!
It’s time to journal your experience. Write down everything, from start to finish. You may be very surprised at what arrives.
Develop a habit of enjoying your food to this extent as much as possible (without the blindfold).

I pray you find this helpful and once again or for the first time, enjoy a beautiful, healthful, “open” relationship with food!

What is your Purpose? Is it More Doing or More Being?

I have always been an advocate for healthy food, taking care of the body and owning responsibility for our health. In my early years with Food Revelation, before the “Intuitive Chef Journey”, I spent a lot of time railing against a broken system that seemed hell-bent on destroying our health. I was focused on how we have been victimized. I was very vocal and very active. I thought of myself as an “activist”.

I was also a very judgmental vegan at the time and I found myself spouting off to anyone that would listen all that was wrong with the consumption of animal-based foods. I believed the world would be a better place and everyone would be healthy if they just ate what I ate (by the way, I wasn’t that healthy at the time). When my intuitive gifts kicked in, along with the “Food is Talking” food charts, I had to eat a lot of crow, as they say, when I realized that some people do need what only an animal can provide to be healthy. That doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be meat. You can read those “downloads” here.

It is so easy to forget our Loving Nature and be blind to Loving Solutions when overcome with fear and judgment. I began noticing, the more negativity and resistance I put out there, the more unrest I experienced. I started getting slapped with energies and found myself unclear and ungrounded a lot. I finally got it! I was not an activist! It wasn’t my job. I began to understand I was here to “HOLD THE LIGHT”. It was a process to move from “Doing” to “Being”. I resisted and I tried being both for a while. That didn’t work. I just got hit harder. I guess I have a very hard head! Maybe I was an activist in prior lives and old habits die hard.

Jesus started speaking to me around this time. This is a compilation of several Jesus downloads I’ve received over the years. Many of you have received bits and pieces of the following in session. Here it is in its entirety. He is responding to my questions. As usual, it is peppered with parables, stories, and a touch of humor….

“It is impossible to BE an activist, “The Resistance”, and BE the LIGHT at the same time. I know from my own experience as both. Resistance is the energy of conflict. Resistance requires judgment. You recall I have said, DO NOT JUDGE. Judgement exists only in duality. It resists “Wholeness” and “Unity”. It operates in the dark.

Have you noticed you don’t see well in the dark? Judgment is the darkness that clouds your vision. It clouds your God-given “Discernment”; your ability to discern Truth from fiction.

Have you ever tried driving in the fog? You cannot see what is right in front of you. You also cannot see “what is” behind “what is” in front of you. Once you have made a judgement and “believed” it, you can’t see The forest for the trees”.

Your judgements are always based in the fearful past. These are the trees that block your view and keep you from seeing the Big Beautiful Picture.

Have you ever thought you lost your precious phone only to realize you were holding it in your hand? Or, your keys, only to discover they were right where you laid them. How does that happen? You made up your mind! You “believed” you lost these things and therefore could not see them. Your mind is that powerful! And for a good reason! It’s part of your Creative Power. It is powerful enough to block your vision. Your SIGHT is truly INFINITE as you are, when you do not shut it down with judgement.

The time has come for “NON-RESISTANCE”. It is essential to the Grand Awakening you are in the mist of and what you signed up for! Everything you have created up until now and always will be used for GOOD. Resistance has at last served its purpose! It built your Spiritual Muscle, much like resistance exercise builds your physical muscle. Every time you have resisted Your Truth, Your Power, who you Truly Are is being revealed, coming into view, just like your muscles come into view with repetitive resistance exercise.

This time has been upon you for what might seem like eons. It is almost finished. There are enough of you holding the LIGHT of TRUTH for TRUTH and LIGHT to be fully revealed. You are “Torch Bearers”.

All that is necessary now for the collective human to awaken from the illusion you have been lost in, is those awakened to expand the LIGHT and THE GOOD that is in ALL You do not have to know what that is. You don’t have to make sense of anything. It is the “fearful ego” that wants to know. It wants to control the process for fear you may not see the danger on the horizon.

Up until now your ego has built walls to keep you safe within an illusion. You have built better and better mousetraps, generation after generation, to trap the “perceived” enemy to feel safe and secure. But they are still traps. You have been trapped in fear for so long, it has become your way of BEING. It feels very foreign to feel any other way. Freedom is not a friend of the EGO.

Nothing YOUR EGO could ever build will make your feel safe. Your security lies in knowing who you are and your INFINITE POWER. When enough know who they are, “INFINITE LOVE & LIGHT there will be NO more “Ego-based” power struggles. You will simply create what you need from the SOURCE CLAY that is never-ending.

Nothing is outside of you. Nothing is being done to you. YOU have participated in creating a grand illusion built on fear and judgment. Fear and judgment are what buried your Truth and your Good to begin with and it is also what is bringing you face-to-face with YOUR TRUTH. In the world of duality “the contrast” has served its purpose. It has allowed your LIGHT to be revealed, much like a picture comes into view in a dark room.

In the LIGHT the illusion is exposed. Remember your beloved movie The Wizard of Oz? It offers a great analogy for what is occurring right now. The illusion you have been operating in will crumple and in its place will be a brand-new system built on TRUTH and LOVE. You will live in joyful anticipation and wonder rather than fear as you no longer drag the past into the future.

Some are here to hold the LIGHT during this time. You came to BE the mirror that your fellow humans see themselves clearly in as the LOVE they Truly Are. Resistance will no longer work for you. The LIGHT is all you need. Your LIGHT has always been more powerful than anything you have created in the dark. You just haven’t known it until now.

For everything and anyone you may find yourself wanting to judge, see their LIGHT or GOOD expand in them or into the situation. THAT’S ALL unless an intervention is needed to prevent imminent physical harm in the present moment.

Your BEING the LIGHT IS your most important work on Earth. Your BEING the LIGHT will result in many miracles. No shadow can withstand the amount of unfiltered Pure Light and Pure Love” YOU are revealing. Resist the urge to resist. REMEMBER, everyone came on PURPOSE with a crucial PURPOSE.

Your job is quite simple. You may want to make it hard. The Ego is addicted to “DOING AND DRAMA” and making things complicated. There will be a need for protection and self-defense for a time, until your “unveiling” is complete. Leave this job to those who came for this purpose. There are plenty.

The awakened are aware now of everything that comes to mind. This has been crucial work that has taken lifetimes to achieve. You now have a choice in what thoughts you keep and what to toss out. As you say, “You are in the driver’s seat.”

Pay close attention to your body. It is serving you at its Highest Function as your “Thought Barometer”. You will know just by how you feel what thoughts are in alignment with Love and Truth and which align with judgement and fear.

Keep your focus on the good you want to see…on Love. Expand it. DO NOT entertain in your mind anything else.

Be as a child, curious and open before the world taught you anything. You may be delighted at what you see and receive.

Do not lower yourself to the level of the world’s denseness. Eat well, rest well. Meditate on peace, love, joy, gratitude…GOD/GOOD. Remember what you came for. Bless you for your service!

All is well always…

Jesus”

I noticed when I finally surrendered to my purpose and I stay in my lane, it is much easier to remain in “observation mode”; to watch all the drama in these turbulent times without getting emotionally attached. I no longer have an uncontrollable urge to “respond or react.” In this mode, I can see a bigger picture and often receive Higher Perspectives that amaze me. Peace and gratitude are the result. Bless the ones that have had the harder task…

BTW – If you are wondering… All my clients are “Torch Bearers”. I came to serve you…

The 7 Missing Links to Abundant & Sustainable Health” – Missing Link #4 preview

Today I’m sharing a preview of the 4^th Missing Link in the upcoming book, “The 7 Missing Links to Abundant & Sustainable Health”. The “onion peeling” continues…

In case you missed the first 3 Missing Links, you can find them here: https://www.foodrevelation.com/blog/

Missing Link #4 – Chronic physical imbalance begins at the “unconscious thought” level.

It doesn’t matter if your fearful, stressful “acidic thoughts” are conscious or unconscious, the body responds the same way. It makes acid. It becomes inflamed.   When thoughts are unconscious, no matter how much you practice “positive thinking” you still feel bad; emotionally and physically. You are powerless to make any lasting change. Discouragement and hopelessness set in.

Many clients find me when they are at the end of their rope. When they’ve been to doctor after doctor and tried all kinds of healing modalities. Some have suffered for years, a lifetime or multiple lifetimes, and that can be what it takes to start the healing process. Many people are not motivated to seek resolution until they are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Some believe the “Law of Attraction” is not real, because they have already proven to themselves their “positive thinking” and “conscious focus” on what they want is not creating the desired results.

“Cause and Effect” is another name for this Law of the Universe. Which means, what we think, feel and do are the cause and our experience is the effect. Our emotional responses (how we feel) and how we view the world are the result of what we believe based on our current and past life experiences.

All of us made decisions very early on about what we believe about ourselves, love and even God. Some of our decisions were made even before we had words, as early as in the womb.  If we came to believe we are not good enough, life will prove it to us.   If we came to believe the world is a scary place, then we will experience the world as such. If we came to believe that love hurts, then love will cause hurt. If we came to believe in a God of punishment, wrath, and torture, we will live a life full of fear and fear physical death.

These early beliefs run deep. We can go an entire lifetime, never realizing that at the root of our misery, are beliefs we formed as a child with a child’s mind that simply were never true. What is running from behind in the unconscious mind, may have run and ruined your life. Or, so it seems…

Missing Link #3: Preview from the Evolution of Free Health Book Series

Today I’m sharing a preview of the 3rd Missing Link in the upcoming book, “The 7 Missing Links to Abundant & Sustainable Health”. One of my favorite Spirit Downloads of all time!  In case you missed the first 2, you can find them here:
https://www.foodrevelation.com/blog/

Enjoy!

This revelation began with a question from Spirit. That was something new! I was about to be given a huge piece of the “chronic dis-ease” puzzle. I heard, “Gail, have you ever wondered why you do not see a lot of dead animals laying around? They are dying all at time.”   And the answer came…

When the body’s natural balance is upset, life deteriorates; it becomes diseased – it decays. When soil is out of balance it cannot sustain life.   When the ocean and seas are out of balance, they cannot sustain life. When any “body” in nature is out of balance, it cannot sustain its life.

When life cannot be sustained, Mother Nature is very proficient at cleaning up after the dead and decaying. It’s a messy job, but someone has got to do it. I didn’t realize how messy death is, until I had the unique experience of cleaning up after the death of a loved one who died in his apartment and wasn’t found for weeks. What a stinky mess!

While some animals and birds will dine on decaying flesh, most like it fresh. Mother Nature’s primary waste management team consists of fungi, bacteria, and parasites…the smallest critters on earth. And, don’t they do a fine job! It is amazing how fast a dead squirrel or rabbit disappears from my backyard. The bigger the body, the longer it takes to decompose. All bodies in decay, plant or animal, provide perfect nourishment for new life. And the circle of life continues…

Have you ever wondered why an animal will abandon a sick baby or why a dying animal wants to be outside? They instinctively understand this natural process.

The balance between prey and predator is part of Nature’s Perfect Plan. Ironically, the human body’s natural predators are the smallest creations on earth.

As stated in Missing Link #2, the imbalance begins at the energetic level…the thought level. “Acidic Thoughts” result in an acidic body. Acid burns flesh and leads to deterioration. If the imbalance is not addressed at the energetic level, more dis-ease results…a louder message, and more pain.

Many treatments only “shoot the messenger” – They ease the pain by quieting the symptoms. By only focusing on easing the pain, the original message (the imbalance) never gets delivered, the fire is never put out, the corrections are never made and the body decays.

Chronic Dis-ease is just a slow path to death. All of life is in strive, thrive, or decay mode. Life does not stand still…. When we are in decay mode, we have signaled Mother Nature’s clean up team that a smorgasbord awaits. When we are in thrive mode, these critters will have to find sustenance elsewhere. And they do because all bodies in nature are striving for life – NOT death. The subject of the next missing link. Stay Tuned…

The critter is just a messenger. You could say it’s your friend, as it has come to save your life. While undesirable and sometimes painful, they are sending us an important message; a life-sustaining message. Without a symptom or a sign of dis-ease, how would we know? It’s up to us to receive the message and correct the imbalance.

We may have an expiration date, that’s open to debate, but we do not have to suffer years of painful, chronic dis-ease.

Finding our balance begins at the thought level and is supported by Mother Nature. The body is a reflection of what we eat and “Think”. Mother Nature has provided us with the perfect toolkit for maintenance and repair. These miraculous bodies we inhabit have been endowed with the power to rejuvenate and regenerate. Yes! If you have ever skinned a knee, broken a bone or healed from a surgery, you know already the body knows how to heal itself. When what we eat and think comes into alignment with health and well-being, the body is unstoppable until its usefulness is fulfilled.

Welcome to the Evolution of Free Health where we leave the prison of the mind and chronic dis-ease behind.

Missing Link #2: Preview from the Evolution of Free Health Book Series

Today I’m sharing a preview of the 2^nd Missing Link in the upcoming book, “The 7 Missing Links to Abundant & Sustainable Health”. In case you missed it, here is Missing Link #1:  “Time does not stand still and neither do our bodies”

This 2^nd book in the Evolution of Free Health series has been writing itself over the years. Many of you reading this now have been an integral part of the revealing of these big revelations, received over the first 7 years, as you worked with me and the Food IS Talking intuitive food compatibility charts. If it were not for you, the book would not exist. Thank you!

Okay…Here goes!

The 2^nd Missing Link to Abundant and Sustainable Health:

“The body is a reflection of what we eat and “think”.  Primarily what we think. We can improve our health with food, but if at the root of chronic dis-ease is what you think, this will only be a temporary fix. The root will have to be addressed to have lasting resolution. The root of chronic dis-ease is always energetic; energy we can’t see, like thoughts and emotions.

Ease or dis-ease is how the body responds to the energy of our thoughts and emotions. The physical body is also energy. Everything is energy for that matter…that’s the science. A healthy body is much lighter energy than a sick body. If everything is energy then everything is malleable and pliable. This is really good news! As the body “lightens up” energetically, it comes more in alignment with the spiritual body and closer to “Living Truth”.

The 2^nd Missing Link revealed itself while working with my first “mainstream” clients; meaning they were not into the metaphysical or knew very much about alternative healing modalities. They were just regular folks, working regular jobs, some of them extremely demanding; for instance, in the service industry or in sales. Some were doctors.

What I noticed working with them over the course of several food charts, some were benefiting from the food charts faster than others.

Science has proven that stress has a huge impact on the body.
I understood from my own healing/awakening experience (they are one and the same) it is our conscious and “unconscious” thoughts that are at the root of stress. Unless you are in real imminent danger, the so-called stressful event is reminding you of past stressful events or what you learned to be afraid of. Your body is re-acting regardless if the threat is real or imagined.

The clients that had the most stress were the ones that were still struggling even as they worked the food charts consistently. Even with their best efforts to correct negative conscious thinking, what was running in the background was holding them down.

Early in my “Intuitive Chef” journey I had Divine Help seeing the unconscious thoughts that were holding me down and affecting my health and my ability to be present. Apparently, it was vitally important I got this! Spirit would often pop my left ear to tell me to pay attention to what I was thinking. I was thinking A LOT about what I didn’t want…unconsciously.   I used the “One Minute Meditation” tool I’ve shared with many of you to clear my own mind from unhealthy, negative unconscious thinking.   My body responded and continued to heal as I worked through my own food charts until I was free from the chronic dis-ease; digestion issues, constipation, migraines, angina, high blood pressure, I had suffered with for years. Some of these were “cord energies” that didn’t even belong to me!

What I did not understand yet, was “how” our thoughts were creating stress on the body.  I got it was important for me know this to better help my clients move into “healing mode”. Remember the 1^st Missing Link?  “Time does not stand still and neither do our bodies”. They are in decay mode, detox mode, healing mode or thriving mode at any given time. What we eat and “think” determines the mode.

One of my Spiritual Gifts, is the gift of seeing. And one of my specialties is seeing numbers. NO, it does not work for gambling…tried that!   But it does work for virtually everything else for Highest Best Good. For instance, I can see the exact pH of the body.  I can know how many pounds of toxin-related fat a client’s body is holding on to (explanation below). Oftentimes, it is the exact pounds they cannot lose no matter what they do.

From my Naturopath, I already knew how vitally important pH balance was in healing and maintaining health. When the body pH matches the blood pH (between 7.35 and 7.45) the body and every organ is in perfect balance and in “thrive mode”. Getting my client’s body pH was a part of every client session. It helped me to track their progress. It didn’t take me long to put 2 and 2 together…

Those clients that were under the most stress had the lowest pH numbers.  How can that be when they were following the food charts and eating mostly, if not all alkaline foods to bring their body back into balance? I got it!  Their body was producing acid in response to “acidic”, stressful thoughts, which made it impossible to sustain a healthy pH.

My clients had actually guided me to the “root” of most dis-ease and the solution!

The body will always let us know when what we are “thinking” and/or doing (like eating) is out of alignment with health and well-being.

The solution is always found at the root of a problem or what I like to call a “situation”. They mirror one another exactly. For instance, if at the root of chronic dis-ease is what we eat and think, then the solution must also be what we eat and think. It’s simple. I love this quote from Einstein…

“If the solution is simple, God is answering”

This excess acid was causing inflammation in the body. It was burning the body. Inflammation means there is a fire in the house! You have to put the fire out before the body can actually heal. Makes sense!

Spirit provided the rest of the picture…literally.  I was shown a “river rock” to further explain how the body was responding to excess acid. The message…

1. The body cannot effectively hydrate.  If you drink a lot of water, you pee a lot. And often the urine is clear; a sign you are flushing out critical electrolytes which leads to dehydration. Dry skin; dry thinning hair and getting up to go to the bathroom multiple times at night, sleep issues, are some of the signs your body is acidic.

2. It cannot absorb nutrients effectively, leading to malnourishment.  I got as well, that obesity is often a sign of malnourishment. We experience hunger for a reason…it lets us know we need nourishment. When we are not nourished, we stay hungry and eat too many calories.

3. The body also cannot release toxins. Toxins are stored in the fat cells. Where you have the most fat cells are where you will see an accumulation of fat when storing toxins.   For most people that is around the middle. You can diet and lose weight, much of the time where you don’t want or lose muscle and still have a layer of fluff around the middle. As soon as you stop the diet, you gain back the weight and then some. Can you relate? You cannot lose this toxin-related fat until your pH is corrected.

In a nutshell, when you are in acidic mode, your body is stuck. And, that is not all that is happening. You are aslo in “decay mode”. Stay tuned for Missing Link 3 & 4.

The focus of my work with clients drastically shifted with this revelation from food being the number one priority to uncovering the root cause.   When the root is uncovered and corrections are made at that level, the body is free to heal. It just needs the right tool kit. The Intuitive Food Charts provide the tool kit to bring each unique body into balance, then into detox mode and finally into thrive mode…our natural way of being.

There are other energetic root causes to chronic dis-ease as many of you are aware. But over the course of 13 years and thousands of food charts it has become clear, our thoughts are the most common root cause.

Of course, there is a purpose and Divine Timing wrapped around each of these 7 revelations. The 2^nd Missing Link is knocking hard on the door of the 7^th. The body is a messenger…

It is so hard for me not to jump ahead since I know the story and many of you do too!   So, I’ll leave it here…

Welcome to the Evolution of Free Health where we leave the prison of the mind and chronic dis-ease behind.

Feeling Anxious? Stop, Breathe and Drop!

When people first seek me out to help them get to the root of their dis-ease, what comes up often is breath work. As soon as I get this message, I know chronic stress is an issue. They have forgotten how to breathe. How is that possible? It’s not only possible, it’s common.

Watch a baby or an animal breathe. When they inhale, the belly expands. For many, this is not what is happening. Take a deep breath right now. Pay attention to what expands. The chest? The diaphragm? Do your shoulders come up? Does your belly constrict?

I had forgotten how to breathe. This can happen when we are chronically stressed out. Or, like me, you may have been taught, as a woman, it is not at all ladylike to let you belly pooch out. Or, a combo of both.

When under stress your first response may be to hold your breath. I remember, when I started practicing yoga in 2007, how hard it was to breath correctly. Thank goodness I stuck with it! Still, when under stress, breathing hasn’t always been my first response. It is a necessary response to stress if you want peace.

“If you can breathe through life – You can breeze through life.”

You may be holding your breath more than you realize, cutting off frequently the very source of life, causing the body distress.

Unless you or a loved one is in imminent danger or you are about to hurl yourself out of an airplane, or ski down a black diamond slope for the first time, your anxiety is probably based in past experience. The moment at hand is just reminding you of what you have “learned” to be afraid of, and your thoughts are taking you down a rabbit hole of fear or judgment.

If you are not in real danger, anxiety is the body’s way of saying you are thinking about what you do not want and are afraid you might get it. It has been proven your body responds the same to a real or imagined threat.

Systems shut down to conserve energy and adrenalin is released, all to get your body ready for fight of flight. A system that was divinely designed to save your life, in the rare occurrence that you may really be in danger, has become a way of life. Chronic stress is telling you that you are focused on what you DO NOT want much of the time.

And sometimes the thoughts that are causing the stress don’t even belong to us; that goes for many of my clients that are healing facilitators. If you are reading this, you may be one. These individuals are very sensitive empaths…sponges. Empaths possess an amazing gift that can feel like a curse when there is no barrier and no break from the bombardment of energy all around. This is the root cause of life-long digestive dis-ease for many gifted empaths. They cannot digest the scope and magnitude of the information coming in. There is a way to receive what you need to know without receiving all the rest. Reach out for more info.

“When the root cause is uncovered, so are the solutions.”

Sometimes the thoughts are just a bad habit. So ingrained, like any other bad habit, you may not even be aware you are thinking these negative fearful thoughts.

Regardless of the source of negative, stressful thoughts, the result is the same…anxiety and dis-ease.

There are ways you can nip stress in the bud, before it wreaks havoc on your body.

Before you do anything! Stop, breathe, and drop!

1. Stop what you are thinking and doing immediately. Be still. Take a big deep breath with the intention of clearing your head and any non-beneficial energy you may have attracted. Yes, whatever you are putting out there, you are attracting.

The breath serves many purposes besides keeping us alive. It has the capacity to clear our head. How many have heard this saying, “Take a deep breath and count to 10”.

With intention, it can clear non-beneficial energy. It brings us into the peaceful present.

Our breath has the power to lower our blood pressure, raise our pH, and regulate systems in our body. It is a healing force.

In serves in other mysterious and magical ways as well. I’ll save those for another time.

The book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor is a fascinating read. In the back of the book are many, breathing techniques serving different purposes.

The breath always tells us when we are anxious. It is one of our first signs. It is hard to take a deep breath. Or, we may even hold our breath, compounding stress. A panic attack is a good example of stress that is out of control. Simply taking a deep belly breath at the first sign of stress can stop stress in it tracks.

2. Drop your roots and ground:Being ungrounded means your energetic body is not quite grounded in your physical body. This happens under high stress and high excitement…like jumping out of an airplane or riding the high of a roller coaster. It happens at night in our sleep and with drugs and alcohol. Extreme ungroundedness can result in passing out, seizures and blackouts.

Take your shoes off. Place all your attention on your feet meeting the surface under them. Feel the sensation of being supported. I love this visual grounding technique passed down from my mentor:

See your pure white roots growing from your feet like a tree. Drop them deep into Mother Earth connecting with a ball of white light at her core. You should start to feel heavy in your feet or lower extremities. Your feet may even tingle. Enjoy the sense of calm and stillness that comes with being grounded. Remember how it feels, so you know when you are not grounded.

3. Protection: See a bubble of the brightest white light you can imagine coming around you, encompassing your body and entire energy field (if you have been introduced to your Sword, you may use it for this). This light you see around you is your protection…Source Love. I call it the Armor of God. Sit and experience how it feels to be secure in this embrace so you know when you are not protected.

Once you are clear, grounded and protected you are ready to question what has caused the stress. Is it your own “stinkin thinkin” as my mentor calls it? Does it belong to someone else? If it belongs to you, you now have a chance to heal a sore spot or begin to break a bad habit.

Welcome to the Evolution of Free Health where we leave the prison of the mind and chronic dis-ease behind.

What is the brain for anyway?

A client asked me this question the other day as we were discussing “Living Divinely Guided”. “What is our brain for?” This is the first thing that flowed into my mind immediately and of course it came out as a rhyme:

“Our brain is for following through on what Spirit wants us to do.”

Sweet answer! There is a Higher Purpose and Plan for our lives. Our Spirit; or Higher Self knows its connection to Source Good/God and knows exactly what is good for us and how to guide us there. Our ego only “thinks” it knows. We are connected to the Source of All Knowledge. We can save ourselves a LOT of trouble by going to the Source.

Some may call accessing this Higher Knowledge intuition. Honing your natural intuitive skills is part of it; a step. At some point you will become a channel for the free-flow of information available from Source as you open your mind and heart to it. Decluttering the mind and body helps.

My “Protocol” that guides me in client sessions is a good example of the difference between intuition and channeling. The information there has drastically expanded over the years, but it is still limited by what I have experienced or know so far. I am “intuiting” from a known list (field). The last question I ask is, “What else is possible?” This is where Spirit lets me know there is more to get. At that point, I sit still, listen and receive.

Our mind is for receiving.

Artists understand very well how this works. They receive inspiration and use a combination of learned skills and inborn gifts to bring this inspired idea onto the canvas or media of choice. Most artists are very intuitive. It is over-thinking that often clogs the wheel of the creative process.

Many times, at least in my case, we don’t know how to do something or get stuck. Spirit will come to the rescue as we ask. We can be guided into what we need to know to carry out a task. Where to look, or a short cut, may come to you out of the blue. You can tell when “you” thought of something and something just arrived. Over the years, I’m still awe-struck every time it happens.

Our brain is for creating. This is what thinking is for…

We are creators. We cannot NOT create. It is a gift unique to the human animal. Lower animals do not create anything but their nest, webs, etc. They live in the present moment and respond (not react) to imminent danger. Some animals are more intelligent and do suffer from “thinking”. Thinking is our gift but can feel like a curse when it is fear-based.

“It is our thinking mind that keeps us in a bind”.

We create by what we focus on. We have been creating unconsciously, out of fear for eons. We have collectively created much to fear. Worry, fear and managing the resulting chronic dis-ease has become a way of life for many.

“Our brain supports our dreams. Our mind can destroy them.”

We don’t have to figure everything out. And worry won’t make it happen. Someone said, “Worry is praying for what you don’t want”. As we remember who we are and our connection, we know longer need to rely only on our learned knowledge or worry about the future. We all have the ability to “live guided”; to know what the next best step or right action is. It is our natural way.

“If you are ahead of the next step – you are just in your head.”

This is how we get overwhelmed and stress out. Can you relate? I can! All we need to know is the next step. When we take it, Spirit will show us the next one. You may be, probably will be, totally blown away at where you arrive! I was and still am!

Can you imagine the freedom of not having to rely on your mind to make a decision…big or small? I can tell you from experience it is the only peaceful way to live. We were born to live free; worry-free like all animals. And we did until our natural way of living was taught out of us. We are now, in droves, finding our way back to our Self and joyfully experiencing life rather than being at the mercy of it.

To become a clear conduit and fully conscious creator, all unconscious thinking must be brought into the conscious mind, where you have a choice; and all wounds must be healed. Until then the body and mind will respond to the past rather than the present moment.

For instance, in a food compatibility session your body may say green peas are compatible, but you associate green peas with a bad experience as a child. Even though your body is saying yes, your mind is saying NO. Your body will respond to the NO.

Even as an adult, we can let our mind override our body. Let’s say an expert told you a certain food was bad for you years ago and you haven’t tried it since. You recorded that in your memory banks. So even though your body is saying you can have it now, your mind remembers the NO. Your body will react to what you think. That is the Placebo Effect.

The Good News! We can bypass the mind while we continue the work of decluttering it of negative, unconscious thinking and healing old wounds.

Reach out if you are interested in further exploring how you can become a clear channel and conscious creator. It is our destiny. I have created “A Course in Discernment” for those that are ready to “Live Guided”.

and chronic disease behind.

7 Missing Links to Abundant and Sustainable Health: Missing Link #1

Okay! it is time…finally! My website and newsletter are being re-vamped, I’m getting all my ducks in a row in anticipation of the launch of the second book in the Evolution of Free Health series. Progress on this has been stalled several times over the years. Life happens and change happens…right? Ironically, that is the subject of today’s post. And…Divine Timing is always perfect!

My “Intuitive Chef” journey began with foodRevelation.com in 2012 and the “FoodISTalking” Intuitive Food Compatibility charts. Like all journeys the road did not stop there. 12 years have gone by already! It has certainly been a wild ride, packed full of revelations! I share these “Divine Downloads” here at Revelations & Recipes; the new name for my blog that is also a book in the making.

Over the first 7 years of this journey, I had 7 BIG reveals. I call these, The 7 Missing Links to Abundant and Sustainable Health, the title of my next book in the Evolution of Free Health series. The first one I released in a cookbook format, Quinoa Cookbook Journey. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSY3XGP/

Some of these missing links are so logical, you will wonder as I did, how we could possibly forget some very basic, simple Truths, like the one I’m about to share. And, then some of them are mind-blowing and life-altering.

I will be sharing all 7 of these missing links with my clients and readers over the next few months. If you feel inspired, please share these with others! We are moving out of the Evolution of Dis-ease and quickly into the Evolution of Free Health!

The first Missing Link arrived early on as I worked through multiple “FoodISTalking” Intuitive Food Compatible charts with clients. It became apparent that what the body needs is constantly changing. Imagine that! We’ve all heard the old saying, “The only thing we can count on is death and taxes.” In reality, the only thing we can truly count on…is change.

It is easy to forget this simple truth when we find ourselves in a challenging situation…

“Time does not stand still and neither do our bodies or our experiences.”

This means not one good food or one “so-called” bad food could possibly be good or bad for every “body” all the time. Food compatibility changes as change happens.

For instance, the world says raw food is great for you! However, if you have a serious digestive issue like diverticulitis or a leaky gut, raw food could send you to the hospital. This is what happened to my sister-in-law when she was listening to the so-called experts tout the benefits of a raw food diet. She didn’t know she had diverticulitis.

Let’s say your life just delivered you a boat load of change, like an injury or illness. Or, you become pregnant, or get fired from your job, or move to another country. Or maybe your suddenly inspired to become a body builder. Your nutritional needs will change…sometimes drastically!

If you eat too much of any one food, it may become temporarily incompatible or “on the line” of compatibility. This comes up often with the intuitive food charts (it happens also when you don’t like something). The food chart tells us what you’ve been eating too much of. It’s saying, “I don’t need any more of that.” If you keep eating what you don’t need you will develop a food sensitivity. If you leave this food out for a while, it will come back into compatibility. We could see this if the food sensitivity test (like the Alcat) were run more often. But they are expensive and insurance would not pay for it.

Any blood work or test is just a snap shot in time.

A diagnosis is just a label to describe a symptom that Is currently happening so a medication can be prescribed. Without a label and insurance code, the insurance company will not pay for the medication. Your diagnosis can change and become obsolete based on the action you take.

Not one good healing modality, medicine, natural remedy, or dosage is good for every body all the time.

Not one good healing facilitator (even me) is perfect for everyone.
And the list goes on and on…

We are unique individuals and so are our bodies. A “one-size-fits-all” approach to health is never going to work for every “body.” Your body has requirements and solutions that are unique to you.

Our bodies are in decay mode, detox mode, healing mode or thriving mode. But they do not stand still. What we eat and “think” largely determines the mode we are in at any given time…the topic of the next Missing Link.

The good news? With every change comes opportunity for healing and growth.

The Tools to Manifesting a Joyful Life

In order to create what we want, we must release any thoughts that oppose what we want. As children of Source Creator, we inherited the power of creation. Our most powerful creative tool is the focus of our thoughts. Quantum Physics with the “Double Slit” experiment proved this Spiritual Truth.

Nothing was ever created that wasn’t thought of first!

We are moving from being “unconscious” creators to “on purpose, conscious creators” as we move into the light of consciousness, all unconscious thinking and consciously focus on what we all truly desire…a peaceful, joyful, happy, abundant life full of love! This is our true way of being.

These are the tools that have worked for me and many others over the years. Some have come from others and some have come to me. They are all Divinely Inspired.

The challenge for all of us is to use the tools all the time, especially when the going gets tough. In the tough times we tend to throw our toolbox out the window. I know… I’ve done it plenty.

Don’t give up! There will come a time with diligent use of these and vigilance you will find yourself consistently creating what you want and living a joyous life. I know… I’ve done that too. The occasional clog in the wheel of your happiness and peace will then simply be your sign to stop and observe the message life is sending.

You can trust your life! If you look back on your life, it is easy to see that what you focused on became. Your life doesn’t lie. It clearly tells you when you are in or out of alignment with your Good. If life is flowing…keep going (in that direction). If life stops…a door shuts; a road block appears, STOP and ask questions. “I wonder what this is for?”

Final note: If you think that life just happens, then you are at the mercy of life…a victim with no power to change your circumstance. You are not limited, because Spirit (of which you are) is not limited. You know or have seen people that seemed so limited and did amazing things!

When we own our creations we are owning the Powerful Creator we are! If you can create what you do not want, then you can just as easily create what you want, just by re-focusing the mind.

The Tools

1. Value/Integrity Discernment Tool:
If you don’t know what you want; or you know but you are not in integrity with it, life will be hard. That’s where the “Value/Integrity” tool comes in. When your thoughts are in integrity with what you say you want, your experiences will begin to align with your values. With nothing opposing what you want; no conflict of interest, no contradictions, you will bring to you what you want. It is the Law of the Universe. You cannot receive what YOU have not asked for. You asked for this life experience. You are asking with your thoughts and feelings. A vibratory match is always on its way.

Someone ask me one day why “pure evil” seems to prosper when good people seem to live in so much lack. Spirit said, “Pure evil has no opposition…it’s pure. It operates unopposed. You could say it has no conscience. Pure Good is even more powerful because in operates in Truth.”

Ask yourself in meditation what 3 things are most important to you in life. And, then think about being at the end of your life and what was important looking back; what’s important may change. Don’t rush. If you have never asked this question, it might take a bit to get clear on it. Once you know what they are, write them down.

When you are struggling with stress and worry or with a choice or decision, run your thoughts or choices by the measuring stick you just created. Simply ask yourself, “Is this thought or choice in alignment with what I say is important to me?” It will be easy to discern. Now, you can discard the thought that is not in alignment and replace it with what is.

Here are my top 3 values and how I use them as a measuring stick for my thoughts:

a. Freedom. Is my thought in alignment with freedom or is it trapping me in a downward spiral of negativity and causing constriction in my body. My breath will tell me.
b. Health and well-being. Is my thought contributing to my health or creating dis-ease?
c. Harmonious relationships. Is my thought creating harmony or disharmony within (my feelings)? They will be made manifest without (in my relationships).
This is a wondrously freeing tool!

2. One Minute Meditation Tool:
Get a journal, small enough to take wherever you go. Set your phone alarm to go off every hour and sit with your breath for 1 minute. Set an intention to have any negative, unconscious thinking rise into your conscious mind during this one minute. Notice the thought and go back to your breathing. Afterwards, right down in your journal what thought was opposing what you want. It is very important not to judge any judgmental, negative thoughts. A client said this to me one day and I had to laugh! “That would be compound judgment!” Judgement is what buried our Truth to begin with and it will keep us buried.

Immediately after the meditation (if you have time) or at the end of the day, re-align the thoughts that are opposing what you want with what your truly desire. Use the next tool…One Command.

3.  One Command (by Asara Lovejoy)
Any negative or opposing thought can be re-aligned with the One Command practice.  Get the book and learn how to effectively create what you want by aligning with the vibration of it in the Quantum Field. There is a scientific element to this that is fascinating!   I can attest this magical tool works if you work it!  It changed my life from living with just enough to living abundantly without worry.

4. Commanding your Spirit Tool: You are Spirit! Your breath is your Spirit! You can call on this Power within to help you stay in your “Heart Space”; your loving nature.  This is a powerful tool past down to me by my mentor. Say…
“I Command my Spirit to take my thoughts into my heart”. Repeat 2 more times and count back from 10 – 1.  Take a big deep breath to restore your mind. It is so!

5. Hold ALL situations and people including YOU in the Light:
See the Light of Love infuse and surround you/them and the situation.  Ask your Spirit, “Show me a Higher Perspective”. Or, “Show me the Perfect Solution that will bring light and healing to this situation.” Without judgmental thoughts in the way you will receive it.

6.  Stay in your own business and respect others’ journeys:
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned and one of the hardest! You will get dragged through the mud when you are interfering with another’s journey. Ask your Spirit, “What is mine to do?”  Sometimes it is only to love people from afar.  Focus on what you want for them; see them happy, healthy and enjoying life.  If you have a part, let your Spirit guide you into the Right Action that will support healing.

7.  Your breath is the most powerful clearing tool:  It is your Spirit!  A deep breath can clear negativity; non-beneficial energies and restore peace of mind in an instant!   Remember the old saying, “Take a deep breath and count to 10?”

8. Stay protected from non-beneficial energies by staying out of judgment and fear. The minute you are judging someone else you have connected to their fear. When you are judging yourself, you have connecting with fearful experiences of the past.

If you find yourself going down a rabbit hole of fear and negativity, use your breath to clear and put your protective shield back up around your energy field.  Note; a negative thought will not crumple your protection; we are in a human experience.  Going down deep rabbit holes with negativity will. Anxiety, spinning thoughts and nightmares; any dis-ease are all signs you are not clear or protected..

9.  Use alignment tool to re-align with Truth.  See a white/gold rod moving through all your chakras and extending upward into the galaxies into infinity and downward through Mother Earth, the galaxies and into infinity.  Say, “I am grounded in Truth and Anchored in Love in all of space and time and eternity”.  See this alignment up and down and then extend around you, moving outward.   Breathe deep…it is done!

10. Tools for staying out of judgement: Like a picture is revealed in a dark room, the contrast; darkness is revealing us. It creates the hard knocks in life we wake up to.  Who are we to judge what hard knock will finally cause someone to open the door to their Truth?  Our judgment keeps others buried. It keeps us buried.  Self-judgment is what buried us to begin with.

As we forgive our own self-judgments we become the mirror of Love that other’s see themselves clearly in…as Love.   It starts with Self-Love. We can and must keep ourselves protected from those that are operating out of pain and fear. They can be dangerous; and at the same time, we can stay out of judgment.

Use these tools in lightness; without judgment.  Laugh A LOT!  Laugh at yourself.  Don’t take life so seriously!  You are here to enjoy life, not to be at the mercy of it.

In love, gratitude and service,

Gail

Divine Planning

Staying present with what’s on your daily plate.

I hear this all the time, “I’m so overwhelmed!” This was a common theme in my life and for many I know until I understood this: It is not what is happening that is causing this overwhelmed feeling. It is what I’m “thinking” about what is happening that is the cause. When I am thinking, I am not present with what is happening…I’m in my head. We cannot be “thinking” and “being” present at the same time.

Once “overwhelm” takes over it can be hard to stop the anxiety that accompanies it and pull yourself out of the downward spiral. This system will help keep you from spirally out of control to begin with. And, if you are like me, “a little ADD” the system I’m about to share has worked magic in keeping me focused and present. Before I discovered this, it would take me forever to just clean the house. I would start in 1 room and go into another to get something, and BAM, I’m off and running in that room without finishing the room I exited. Can you relate?

Someone suggested I try a “Day Planner”. That was a nightmare! I also tried a huge wall calendar. The fuller the page or calendar the more overwhelmed I felt, until I literally felt paralyzed. It became clear to me, the systems that work for so many, were not working for me. I needed a system that would keep track of my “To Do List” and at the same time help keep me focused only with what was currently on my plate. This idea hit me one day as I was staring at all the Sticky Notes on my desk; reminding me of all that was left undone!

I call this method “The Sticky Note Weekly Planning System”. Not very glamorous, but it works!

1. First Step: You will need a journal (make it light and fun!)

Block off about an hour on the weekend (or your days off) to Divinely Plan your week. Get grounded and still. Reflect on the projects you would like to complete. Write the projects down in your journal as they flow into your mind. Don’t think too hard. Just let them come. DON’T number them.

Choose your words carefully. Words are powerful energy that can help or hinder. They have a vibration. Some are higher vibrational than others. For instance; you might have noticed I used the word “like” rather than “want or have to”. It feels lighter. “Projects” and “complete” feels lighter to me than “task” and “accomplish”. I use the online dictionary a lot to find acronyms that “feel” better.

2. Once you have your list, ask yourself, “Is this list complete. And, is this all “mine” to do this week?” Be still and let the answer be revealed. You may discover some things can wait and should wait (this is not the same as procrastination). Or maybe you have bit off more than you can chew. Or, that you can put some of what is on your plate on someone else’s. I used to think I had to do it all myself or it wouldn’t get done; or done right. My ex-husband called that way of thinking, “Do It Self Me Syndrome”…LOL. Letting go of that idea saved me a LOT of anxiety and time.

There are several ways you may hear “Spirit” answer. Try just asking the question and taking a deep breath. Your breath is Spirit and therefore can be the best discernment tool. Can you take a complete breath while holding the question in your mind? This is a good sign you’re on the right track. Is there a hitch or hang-up; constriction anywhere in the body with the breath? This is a good sign your list has a cliché somewhere, maybe for one of the reason stated above.

Pay close attention to the body as you breathe. You may feel a discernible lightness or heaviness in the body with your question. The lightness is saying YES. The heaviness…NO. You may even hear the answer (we all will eventually as the mind declutters).

You may use a tool if none of these methods seem to give you a clear answer (remembering your natural way of receiving can take some time. It has been taught out of us). Your body is an amazing tool in itself! Stand relaxed with your feet hip distance apart. Get grounded; see your roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth until your feet feel heavy or tingle. Then, fold your hands over your chest. Ask first to see how your body responds to a “Yes and No” question:

Say, “Show me a YES”. Your body may sway forward. This is a YES. Say, “Show me a NO”. A backward movement is a NO (unless your polarity is reversed and then the answers will be backwards; another reason to test your yes’s and no’s before you start asking questions. Most of you know what “reversed polarity” means. If not, reach out.

The first time you experience these movements, it may be overwhelming! OMG! This is for REAL! Our bodies are a conduit to Source; Our Creator; GOD. They become better and better receivers as we declutter our bodies and minds. If you got excited….ground again.

3. Now comes the really fun part! Put the list in “Divine Order”. You may be completely surprised that what you thought was most important on your list… may not be.

Note: To receive Divine Guidance, it is crucial to get your head out of the way. Spirit will not argue with you. If you have already made up your mind you will get the answer “you think” is right. This is called “Free Will” and what science calls “The Placebo Effect”. This following statement works well at bypassing the mind…

“I don’t care what the answer is. My only desire is to know the Truth”.

State it and take a deep clearing breath to clear the body and mind. Using any of the methods above that work for you begin putting your list in Divine Order.

While holding the first item on your list in your mind, ask “Is this number 1 on my list? Breathe and discern. If you get a NO, then go to the next item and do the same. Continue asking and receiving; denoted the appropriate number by the project on your list until all is in Divine Order.

Write down project number 1 and maybe number 2 on Sticky Notes. NO more than 2 to start. Over time I have been able to have 3 or 4 sticky notes on my desk without feeling pressured as I get better and better at staying present. The visual of seeing the Sticky Notes disappear as I move from project to project is very rewarding!

4. See in your “Mind’s Eye” all the other projects contained in separate bubbles that are placed on a shelf where they will remain until you are ready to pull the next one down; write it on a Sticky Note and place it on your desk (or refrigerator). I am forever grateful for my mentor for this wonderful visual!

Now close your journal. You know the old saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”. You can relax now knowing you will not forget anything. It is written in your journal and it is safe on a shelf. You will not look at your journal or think about what else is on your list until you complete these first 1 or 2 projects on your Sticky Notes. The less I have to remember, the better. It leaves my mind clear for “receiving”.

An “Automated Scheduling System” was one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my business and personal planning. I don’t busy my mind with keeping track of client appointments anymore and I can block off any personal time I desire. I also may intuit how long it will take me to finish a project and block off that time accordingly so clients cannot book in.

With clients all over the US and beyond, “Time Zones” can be a challenge (I know some of you are laughing right now, remembering how I’ve messed up your appointment times trying to schedule sessions on my own). The scheduler takes care of all of it! I’ve used ACUITY for years and love it!

5. Get set for success! Start your day by doing some breath work to empower and align you with Truth. I’m into the Wim Hof breathing technique. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzCaZQqAs9I ) I set an intention for every in and out breath (whatever feels supportive for that day). For instance I might say, “With every breath in and out let Healing Light shine within and without!” I see God’s Light expand in my body from every chakra into all the meridians and into the physicality. Then, I see that Divine Light expand outward into my day; lighting my path with ease, joy and glory. I see this Healing Light continue to expand further to others and into the world.

I then see a white gold rod pierce all my chakras and continue to extend upward into infinity above my head and extend downward into infinity below my feet. I state, “I am grounded in Truth and anchored in Love.” And I AM! I am raring to go!

Last note: It may be helpful for you to start with the planning of just one day then move into weekly planning as you practice “Staying Present with Planning” (another blog coming soon).

If this sounds like something that might work for you, as it has for me and others, I would love to hear about your experience. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!

In love, gratitude and service,
