As the end of year holidays approach, how will you be celebrating them ~ or will you?

For me, I celebrate every day. I don’t wait for a man-made holiday before enjoying myself yet, it seems many do. They wait until Thanksgiving to be “thankful”; they wait until Christmas (or whichever holy day they “celebrate”) to be joyous yet, are they really?

I so often hear people say they HAVE to spend time with family. One month it’s “her” family; the next is “his” family. The way they say it really doesn’t sound like fun, celebration, joyousness to me. Sounds more like torture.

One of the things I am really grate-filled for is that many years ago, I had a chance to go to Hawaii for Christmas/new years. At first, I felt guilty for not going back to Connecticut to visit my mother yet, all I had to do was remember how it was spending my last Christmas with her. It was dismal. Did I need to repeat that? Noooooo. So! I went to Hawaii and stayed with some folk living on the north shore of Oahu. I got to be alone with me, on the beach for much of the time. They shared with me places the “natives” go rather than just the touristy places.

For the new year, we went to the main drag in Oahu and watched fireworks.

It was delightful to spend two weeks in Hawaii while much of the U.S. was enjoying the cold.

Many clients I work with tell me how they HAVE to be with their parents even though they don’t want to be. How old do people have to be for them to go out and enjoy EVERY moment of their lives without guilt? They are afraid of the often passive/aggressive manipulation their parents will put them through if they don’t do as expected. They want to be “nice” to the extent of creating frustration within themselves. How fun is that?

Is it any wonder that people become ill so often after the holidays? Do you know that ill-feelings, frustration, anger, etc. are just as much a part of suppression of the immune system as anything else is? That often goes on top of the feeling of HAVING to eat what’s on the table even though, we don’t want to. Family will often add guilt to that too ~ “It’s only ONE day!” “.. but I worked so HARD on this meal!” “.. go ahead, one bite wont hurt you!”… Sound supportive? Life-affirming? Loving?

Oh yeah, let’s drop the “they have good intentions”. Where do people come up with that one? Good intentions? For whom?

Consider this ~ We go where we don’t want to be, we eat what we don’t want to eat; we spend time with people we don’t want to spend time with watching them eat, drink and smoke ~ and we can’t/wont say anything about it because we know it wont do any good PLUS “..it’s the holidays!!! Have fun! Enjoy life..” even if it makes you sick!. Now, is that a recipe for joy and happiness?

Once I spent the first Christmas out enjoying MY life, doing it again became easier and more enjoyable. I’d rather have a little bit of guilt and enjoying myself for the rest of the time, than to spend two weeks being miserable with a few minutes of pleasure.

Of course, many people enjoy getting together with their families over the holidays and to them, I salute you! (with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, of course).

P.S. Less than three weeks left before this sale runs out. Get ‘em before I run out of them or the price goes up. They are normally $28.

This morning I received this understanding from my friend Sandy Brewer in her Inspirational thought for the Week: “It took me a long time to understand that I could be what I choose to be, that I am, indeed, that which has the capacity to look fear in the eye and dissolve it. No problem can be resolved from the point of view of the problem. I learned to ask myself, “What’s another way of looking at this?”

I’m going to extract one sentence from this that struck me: “No problem can be resolved from the point of view of the problem.” As a health practitioner and educator, I see people all the time coming from the “point of view of the problem”… in health, it’s the symptoms. How can I stop the symptoms? The symptoms are the “.. point of view of the problem”… they aren’t the cause, they aren’t the root, they are the warning signals that something is wrong.

So, what do we do? Let’s take the case of cancer since people are focused on that this month. Symptoms ~ lumps, tumors, skin lesions, etc. What do doctors do? They poison, burn and mutilate to eliminate the symptoms. What they DON’T do, is find the cause! Helllooooo! Anybody home? They then send the patient home to do what they’ve been doing to cause the problem in the first place! Do you know that IF the patient lives 5 years, that means they’ve cured cancer? Even if they die in the 6th (or, during the 5th)? That’s ridiculous!

Heart disease ~ same thing! We can stick some valves and some stents in to open up the arteries.. Hey! let’s take a vein out of the leg and use that! well, how cool is that? Now, go home and continue eating, drinking, smoking and living as you were, we’ll see you again in a few years.

Diabetes! Here, have some insulin and shoot up every day. You’ll be fine. Oh, and carry some candy around in case you mess up.

Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is?

Do you know that the majority of Americans in this country experience detectable cancer approximately 6 times in their lives? Cancer cells, from my understanding, live in our bodies. For them to get to a detectable stage takes YEARS of eating and doing the wrong things.

Do you know that the majority of people who have Type 2 diabetes can be diabetes free in as little as 3 days and sometimes up to 2 weeks? AND, many with Type 1 have eliminated insulin shots altogether or at least dropped the dosage significantly?

Do you know that heart disease can almost always be reversed w/in a few months?

So, why don’t doctors tell people this? There’s no money in it! At least not enough to keep them in the style to which they’ve become accustomed to.

How can you find out more? Check out these two videos as a first step.. There’s over 3 hours of interviews with accredited doctors, excerpts taken from many prestigious medical journals and interviews with people who’ve healed themselves without poisons, burning and mutilation. I’ve got these on sale until the end of the month of Oct. ‘08. $20 (and taking action on what you see) may save your life or that of someone you love. “Healing Cancer From the Inside” and “Eating“. Get them while I’ve got them in stock at that price!

If you know someone who has diabetes, there’s a new dvd out which addresses that specifically. It shows the journeys of 6 people diagnosed with diabetes ~ 5 with diabetes 2 and 1 with diabetes 1. All but one were insulin-injection free w/in 2 weeks… most w/in 3 days. It’s called: “Simply Raw ~ Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days“.

Yes, the holidays are coming up yet, what a great way to start the new year… taking better care of oneself. What do you think?

By the way, I’ve currently got openings for two clients for consultation. If you’re interested in working with me, please contact me at: Revvell@Revvellations.com and put “Potential Client” in the subject line.

Yours in health,

One thing I’ve been noticing recently is that people are really not aware that they have upper (and lower) limits for living. What does that mean?

One way we could put it is, we all have what we call a comfort level. When we step beyond that comfort level, we become anxious and pull back.

I call it an upper limits question. A few examples:

Been sick with one thing or another for years. Use to having people respond a certain way; attract a lot of caretakers; aren’t responsible for certain things due to the illness and then choose to do what’s necessary to heal. Now, everyone around has to change. The person who is ill is healing, what happens to their role? Either they have to change or leave. The ill person, has to get use to who s/he is now (who would you be if you weren’t ill?), get use to not being so cared for, start taking responsibility for themselves more, etc. That will bring anxiety and fear.

Another example is one who is eliminating excess fat. Same thing. As they start transforming, the people around them get anxious and pass that anxiety to them. They start hearing how they are losing “too fast”, looking “skinny”, not eating enough, having food put in front of then and being told “one bite wont hurt you”, etc. In their own heads, they’re having to deal with their own emotions ~ the ones they kept suppressed by overeating. Tough to bear, don’t you think? Well, that’s why we coaches are around to help people through these times.

How about someone who leaves a corporate position to become an entrepreneur? Think they don’t have fear? Someone who comes into a lot of money and is afraid to spend it OR spends it all so they can feel comfortable again.

IF we truly want to truly live and truly be alive, we have to make changes in our lives. We could just go through our mundane lives, going to our mundane jobs, coming home to our mundane families, watching mundane t.v. shows, going to bed then doing it again in the a.m. and on weekends, sitting home watching our mundane football games with chips and beer (now that’s REALLY living!) or, the women hanging out with the girls, going shopping, eating bad food, etc., or, we could do what it takes to make our lives fantastically exciting by eliminating excess weight, making ourselves healthy by doing what THAT takes even if others don’t agree; leaving our boring mundane jobs.. taking chances!

At the end of our lives, do we want to say ~ “I LIVED”! Or, “I wish I had lived”?

Remember we are often reflections of other peoples’ fear. Look at their lives. Is that how YOU want to live?
Until next time,

Yours in health,

Revvell
