Mastering Divine Discernment: Living Behind the Prison of the Mind

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.

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,

Blog – Conscious Creation

I received a message from Spirit for a client the other day. She suffers from digestive distress. I heard…

“Do you want to be free? You will have to get free from chronic negative thoughts. They sabotage your health and well-being and disrupt peaceful digestion of “what is”. Make up your mind”.

If your thoughts and actions are out of integrity with what you say you want, you will never have what you want. In this case, the client says she wants health and well-being but doesn’t expect to have it. Doesn’t believe she can have it. Her thoughts and spoken words question if it is truly possible. She is denying what she wants when she asked, “Will I always struggle?” She is focused on the struggle…

The struggle is a result of “early programming”. Of course, we all want health and well-being. But what if there is a part of you that is constantly telling you it is not possible based on your childhood experience to have it? And, what if this thought is running in the background so that you are often not “aware” of it? Then you are constantly opposing what you say you want…unknowingly.

Science says, what we focus on becomes… We are creating unconsciously until we move into the conscious mind what is running us from behind.  It takes an intentional, conscious effort to do this and then realign or remove the thoughts that are opposing our good. One Minute Meditation is a powerful tool for doing just this!

You cannot change what you are not aware of. You may be very surprised at how often you are thinking about what you “do not want” when you become totally aware of your thoughts. One Minute Meditation was a miracle for me in the baby days of my practice. Stepping into my most fulfilling Highest Work, Spirit made it clear I would need a clear mind.

It goes like this. Set an intention to hear the thoughts you are often not aware of.  Every waking hour stop (set a timer) and focus on your breath for one minute. Have a journal with you. NO judgment of the thoughts is allowed; you would just be judging a child that “learned” the untruth about themselves. Just notice them and go back to your breathing. Afterwards, write them down and re-align with what you want.

For instance; if you are thinking about how a co-worker is stressing you out, you are lining up with what you do not want. You can tell. Your body responds with constriction. You hold your breath. You tense up. This energy is not in alignment with health and well-being. It is sabotaging your body’s inborn ability to heal itself.   Realignment example: Say… “Peace is always at hand. I choose peace.” Breathe in peace…

I pray you find this helpful.

In love, gratitude and service,

Gail

Healing the Relationship with Food… Part 2

Here is Part One in case you missed it:https://www.foodrevelation.com/healing-the-relationship-with-food-part-one/

Healing the body for many may mean re-establishing the relationship with our collective mother “Mother Nature”…What I call God’s Birthing Place. The nurturing “organic” substanence for all forms of life comes from this womb.

The archaic definition of “organic” is “instrumental”. Mother Nature is instrumental in the formation and nurturing of our bodies.

Merriam Webster also defines organic as “organize”. There is an organized structure to the creation of life. Also, the word “fundamental” comes up. This organic structure Mother Nature provides is fundamental in forming (informing) the “organized” organic whole.

A chemical reaction occurs when combining organic matter. It is not the fundamental cause. It cannot happen without the building blocks (the organization) that Mother Nature has already provided.

With all this being said, it makes sense that to rejuvenate, restore and maintain this human body and all bodies in nature for that matter, we need the perfect structure and building blocks that Mother Nature provides. The chemical process is a step removed from this or can be many steps removed.

It is true we can raise the vibration of our food with our love and gratitude prayers and bring it more in alignment with what we need. However, the more chemical a food becomes the further removed it is from Source and its nurturing, life sustaining energy. Organic food is naturally most compatible to our organic bodies.

So, does this mean we must always strive for Mother Nature’s perfection in what we eat? NO. Perfection is not a requirement in life. Ironically, the need for perfection can take us out of alignment with our health and happiness by creating stress. Judgement = Stress. The body makes acid when under stress making it very hard to maintain a healthy pH.

If you are very inflexible with your food; always eating “the right” thing for fear of getting sick or beating yourself up for eating the “wrong thing”, the fear and judgment will sabotage your best efforts. Fear is the energy behind all eating disorders; whether it is eating for perfection or eating to destroy perfection (your body).

Intention is everything. If you are a “health nut” you can know if fear is running the show by asking one simple question. “Am I eating to honor my body and support my God-given health or avoid dis-ease?”

If you answered yes to the latter, you may want to take a closer look at what you are really trying to avoid. What is the underlying fear? As we undercover these fears, we uncover our Truth. Someone said it like this (I can’t remember who), “Fear is just an initiation into fearlessness”.

There is “nothing for nothing”.
Every experience we have in life brings us closer and closer to our True Nature….LOVE. Through my experience with many clients over the years, I’ve come to realize, for many the relationship with food is mirroring a childhood perception of what “love is” based on their experience with a mother figure. For instance; they may have felt unnurtured.

Stay Tuned for Part 3 of “Healing the Relationship with Food”. … When the relationship with food is mirroring a mother/child relationship. In this part I will share real life success stories from my client files.

Thank you for tuning in and sharing. Until next time, here’s to your Peace, Joy, LOVE and abundant Health!

About Gail:

Gail Blair’s intuitive journey began as she began working her passion for food in 2009. In 2012 she birthed “Food Revelation” not having clue how relevant the name would prove to be. Shortly thereafter she experienced a “spiritual awakening” and her intuitive gifts were ignited.

As a plant-based chef turned Food & Medical Intuitive she has helped hundreds all over the U.S. and Canada remember their natural, God-given health through her “Food ISTalking” Intuitive Food Compatibility process.

Over the years, as her gifts have expanded, she has become a conduit for revelation (the name she gives to the Divine Wisdom she receives). The 7 most important revelations led her to create the Evolution of FREE Health books and video series. The “Evolution of FREE Health” is the remembrance of our natural, God-given health.

The first book released in 2016, “The Quinoa Cookbook Journey” is a super creative and tasty introduction into the series. The 2nd book in the Evolution of FREE Health series, “The 7 Missing Links to Abundant & Sustainable Health” is the focus of her latest speaking tour and the video series she is releasing to the public as she goes through the publishing process.

Optimum Eating Style Honors Body & Lifestyle

It’s time to share more recipes in celebration of my 60th birthday month!

But first, I wanted to share an “Aha” with you. This came up in conversation recently. That’s my sign it is time to share it publicly.

Over the years, the Food IS Talking Intuitive Food Compatibility process has evolved as new information has revealed itself through these individualized food charts.

One such reveal occurred a couple of years ago. I realized that not only do we have a “base line” compatibility (foods that are compatible consistently); we also have an optimum eating style that stays fairly constant unless something drastic happens like –

Our sleeping cycle completely changes over a long period of time (for instance – working nights instead of days).
Our nutritional needs change drastically due to illness, surgery or long term stress.
We make a major shift in diet (like a decision to go from eating meat to veganism)

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? It’s been drilled into our heads all our life! The first meal of the day may be labeled breakfast if you are an early riser. It may be labeled lunch if you are like me – a night owl. My first meal is hardly ever before noon. Your optimum eating style best supports your lifestyle.

Most people fit into 1 of 4 eating styles:

1. 3 squares a day (breakfast, lunch & dinner). No snacks
2. Intermittent fasting (calorie rotation; low 1 day/high the next)
3. 16 hour daily fast (eat for 8 hours only/fast for 16 within a 24 hour period).
4. Grazing (eat 5 or 6 small meals a day)

I am a combination of 2 and 3. I noticed this has happened naturally. I’ve never been a breakfast person. Now I know why – I’m a night owl:)

Okay, onto the delicious part. The following recipes have been the most popular with my cooking classes. Super hearty and satisfying. Perfect for the meat eater transitioning to a more plant-based diet. My dad often says, “Gail, I don’t know how you do it. I never miss the meat!” There is a good reason people call me “The Plant-Based Chef for Meat Lovers & Vegetable Haters”

A dry white wine or one my favorite light reds, Tortoise creek French Pinot Noir is the perfect companion to the herbal and savory tones of this dish. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, you can contact me here: https://www.foodrevelation.com/contact/

Tuscan White Bean & Sage Ragout
On Top ofHerb & Pepper Crusted Polenta

(With Vegan Version) Serves 6-8

Polenta Ingredients and Method

3 tablespoons butter (olive oil for vegan version)

3-4 garlic cloves, crushed and minced

1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary (reserve ½ teaspoon)*

3 cups water

3 cups + unsweetened plant based milk (I like So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage for this)

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups polenta (course ground corn meal – not quick cooking)

1 teaspoon coarse ground cracked pepper

olive oil to prepare pan

Melt butter over medium high in a large stainless pan. Add garlic and ½ teaspoon of the chopped rosemary. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add water, milk and salt. Bring to simmer and slowly add polenta stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low simmer and continue to whisk for about 10 minutes or until polenta is very thick and creamy. Whisk in more milk if necessary. It should be very thick, but pourable.

Coat 9 x 13 inch glass pan with a little olive oil. Pour polenta evenly into pan and allow to cool before placing in refrigerator for a few hours or until completely set. If in a hurry, place in freezer for about 20 minutes.

When ready to serve, slice polenta into 4 x 4 inch squares or use a 3 ½” diameter cookie cutter (I made hearts for Valentine’s DayJ). A round wide mouth glass jar works too! Sprinkle top of the polentas with fresh rosemary and cracked pepper. Broil or grill for about 3 minutes or until tops are golden and starting to crisp.

Tuscan White Bean & Sage Ragout

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter (optional – you can use all olive oil for vegan version)

1 small onion, diced

1 small sweet bell pepper (red, orange or yellow)

4 garlic cloves, minced

½ teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoon fresh minced sage (or another ½ teaspoon thyme if no fresh sage)

½ cup dry white wine (chardonnay is good)

1 small squash, cubed

1 small zucchini, cubed

2 cups fresh chopped Roma tomatoes

2 cups cooked cannellini beans, drained & rinsed (or any white bean)

2 teaspoon sweet white miso (optional)*

2 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Sea salt and crack pepper to taste (TASTE FIRST!)

Heat a very large skillet or Dutch oven (iron is great!) over medium high. Add olive oil and butter; swirl to coat skillet evenly. Add onions with a fat pinch of salt and sauté for 3 minutes, and then add garlic. Sauté another minute and stir in herbs.

Deglaze pan with white wine and simmer for just a minute before adding squash, tomatoes and beans. Bring back to simmer and cook gently for 15 minutes or until squash is tender. Turn off heat.

Add miso to a small fine mesh strainer and then place strainer in skillet to allow the broth to make contact with the miso. Using a wooden spoon, dissolve miso into broth. Add lemon juice and re-heat ragout gently while stirring to incorporate miso and lemon. Taste before adding more salt. Garnish with a sprig of thyme or sage leaves before serving.

*Miso is a great way to add a meaty-like richness to all your vegan soups, beans and stews. I’ve found my meat lover friends don’t miss the meat when I use this method. I use dark miso for dark dishes, such as black bean chili and light miso for lighter soups and beans.

This easy and satisfying recipe becomes is a staple dish at my house. Wonderful served on top of polenta or as a hearty Italian stew with crusty bread and salad.

Here’s to your Joy, Peace, LOVE & Health!
