The thing is, I am being completely transparent and open about this journey because I know it can help at least ONE person in this lovely world! Please don't wait as long as I did to invest in my personal care and health! Get to the ROOT cause of your SYMPTOMS, which are just God's check-engine lights going off to get our attention. :) Physical health affects our EMOTIONAL HEALTH!
This is for the person that knows something and chooses to deny it for years, ha, ha! My entire life, I have found joy in baking! I also find pleasure eating my creations. I have baked for Farmer's Markets in several cities; having great success. I enjoyed making something from milled wheat that was fresh, original, wholesome, and tasted better than anything from the local stores.
I also knew that my indulging in my creations brought my energy down and made me feel sluggish . (Insert very sad face here.) Well, I just walked around feeling tired, foggy-brained, digestive system not quite right for years. Finally, after a little health scare over a month ago, I decided to go to the doctor. My blood pressure was kind of high but everything else looked pretty good. Yet, I KNEW my body was out of balance and had to look further! Don't you just KNOW when your body is speaking to you to DO something, but you just aren't sure what? Well, that was ME! I dug deeper, asking friends that were also walking a journey to better health. My friend suggested a new clinic called Innate Health Solutions, where they do muscle-testing. Now in the younger years, and even when I first heard of this "Muscle-Testing," I was quite the skeptic!!! What kind of Voodoo is this? This seems CRAZY....asking your body for the answers and having it respond!? What in the world???
So, a little over a month ago, my husband and I went to visit and get our initial "Muscle-Tests" from Izzy. She made me feel totally comfortable, I felt warm, accepted right where I was currently,(meaning...not judged for letting myself go for so many years.) I came away with new knowledge (that my body/intuition had been trying to tell me for years!) Guess WHAT? I have sensitivity to several things....wheat, corn, cane sugar, artificial sweeteners, and fruit sugars. My Adrenals needed to be supported first and I had a lot of BPA overload. Fascinating, ha????
I will not go into details in this post, but will share more later. I DO want to say that I feel more HOPEFUL, POSITIVE, and my energy is INCREASING each week as I choose and do better for my body! This is definitely not a "Once and done, Quick-Fix" solution. I am making conscious choices each week to a better, healthier life!
My prayer and hope is that you would begin to be aware and start to listen to what your body is saying to you!!! Because it is trying to speak....we just have to be open to listen better!
With much love and hope, along with the infinite possibilities to you.....Shanlyn
My rich experiences in life have shown me how STRONG I am and built my faith in my Creator! I have, in the past, lived in fear of rejection and being a failure, which has made me stop from sharing but NO MORE!!! I will push through that fear and share anyway! Here's to being BRAVE!!!
I am a 54 year old woman, Jesus-lover, wife of 29 years, mom to three children, I do love essential oils and being natural as much as possible (it has been and is still a journey....trust me!) I love creation and nature, living in the country with space around me to see the sunrise and sunset, I have a blind gelding quarter horse and a broodmare to lead him around, seven outdoor cats, two indoor cats, and an indoors Australian Shepherd. You will meet them all in the future as we get to know each other better! I also love learning, giving people hugs and praying with them, I love seeing the different seasons on my 159 mile Rural Mail Route in Iowa, I love laughing a lot, eating and cooking great food, and how to be a more energetic, healthier version of myself. I love family and friends, and treasure each moment we spend together making new memories.
There is much going on in the world around us with this crazy threat of a new-to-our-country virus, wouldn't you say? It makes me thankful I turned off regular tv and news years ago! I get worked up into a frenzy and panic listening too much to all the gloom and doom. How about you, dear friend? Where are you and how are you feeling right at this moment? One thing I have and continue to learn is that I AM what I THINK....or what I choose to accept into my head/belief system. So, with all the crazy hub-bub and hysteria, I encourage you to turn it all off and get grounded in your faith. Spend some time in prayer and just breathe. Have gratitude for your body, its perfect and amazing systems that work together to BLESS you with THIS day, THIS moment, the LOVE to share and receive, the MIRACLES of nature and creation, and oh, so many other blessings!
Share with me what you are grateful for today? Love to you, precious one!
