As I was out walking this morning, I was listening to some subliminal cd’s I’d recently purchased. One of them is called “Having it All”. Just as I was coming home I realized, I already have it all. I want for nothing.

I have enough money (and more), right now, to pay all my monthly bills ~ rent, utilities, food, etc. My car is a 2007 Prius, paid for. We have an older van ~ paid for. We don’t purchase unless we have the money ~ which we do. I rarely have owed anyone for anything and if I did it was because I knew I had the ways and means to pay it off. I wasn’t “hoping” the money would come in and, it was only one purchase at a time.

At one time I purchased a stereo set to begin building credit. I put a hefty down payment on it; paid it off in 3 months (no interest). Then I purchased a small piano. Same thing… large down payment, paid off w/in a year. (no interest). I could have paid for both of those things in cash but was told I needed credit so I started to build it. Then I stopped. I really didn’t “need” credit and couldn’t find more things I wanted to purchase to build it.

Now, I have no credit BUT, I also have no debt. Oh yes, I can hear some of you saying “Lucky you!”. Well, yes and no. I prefer to think of “conscious me”. I MADE my “luck” by paying attention. Never getting a credit card and always paying in cash keeps life simple.

What has been interesting is that about 10 months ago we were looking for a new place to live. Because we had no credit (he’s from Europe and hadn’t established it yet) we were turned down for the 3 places we tried for, only one of which I would really have liked to have gotten. I asked the owner why she wouldn’t lease to us and she said the other person had more credit. I said, “oh, how interesting. So, what you’re saying is, they have debt which makes them more lease-worthy and we, who have nothing to pay but our monthly bills are not?”

Suffice it to say, we did find a lovely place ~ the one we’re supposed to have in the area we’re supposed to have it. It’s perfect for us ~ for now!

Now, the major holidays are upon us. What are you going to do? Purchase gifts for people you don’t want to because they give you something every year? Have you thought they are thinking the same about you? Do you go into debt every year purchasing gifts? Want to re-consider that this year? What alternatives can you think of which will show you care ~ about you!?

Same with my last post. People feel obligated to do the same thing every year with the same people every year never considering that just maybe the others don’t want to do it any more than they do. Something to consider, eh?

Something else to consider ~ if these people are not people you can speak with about this (and who will tell you the truth), then maybe you shouldn’t be spending money on them or time with them anyway. What do you think?

By the way, last year I created a “playbook” of tools I used to bring me where I am today. I use it myself and keep on growing and learning. You might wish to check it out for yourself or, as a priceless gift for someone you love: “Revvellutionize Your Life in 30 Days”

Injoy,

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

P.S. As this is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month“, I am offering a special on two dvd’s ~ “Healing Cancer From Within” and “Eating” for only $20 ~ a $29 value; (plus Ca. tx. where necessary, s & h). Cancer is a lifestyle-caused disease. Stop the cause; healing happnes. Yes, it really can be that simple as stated by numerous doctors in the dvd’s and those who’ve healed themselves. Click here for more information.

In her time Revvell Revati has dealt personally with suicidal depression, life-threatening asthma, parental abuse, rape, abandonment, poverty and other issues. She’s been helping clients and students for over 22 years heal themselves to get beyond their fear of life and live in joy, appreciation and wonder.

I have to say, I am so tired of people whining and complaining because they can’t afford something.

Yanno, when I wanted something I did what it took to get it. I got up at 2 a.m. to deliver newspapers; I finished my day job then went to work delivering pizza… whatever it took to create more income, I did it and I paid cash for everything and still do.

As one businessman told me ~ Don’t have enough $$? Make more.

Ask around and find jobs… there’s always something out there ~ someone who is willing to pay for some one to do what they don’t want to, don’t have time to or can’t do. You know people who have children and could use a babysitter? Become one or, better yet, create a babysitting service and have others do the work.

Assess what you are good at and no, not necessarily what you enjoy doing, but what you are good at. Can you knit or crochet? Is there an arts and crafts store near you where you can hold classes? How about a community college that holds evening classes? Parks and recs? Retirement facility? I’ve actually gone and spoken at a retirement facility and gotten paid for it.

Are you good at organizing? Would you make a good receptionist? If your kids are in school, find a temp job. Look at the various online places such as www.associatedcontent.com where you can write articles and get paid.

You want a blender? create the money to get it. You want organic food and to live a healthy life? create the money to get it. Ever hear the saying “Where there’s a will, there’s a way?” Well, make it happen!

Currently I’m working on a new site where we can go and work/play on creating abundance ~ across the board. In the meantime, please share what you do or have done to create income here.

Oh! and please, don’t use having children as an excuse. I worked with one woman who has three, one with special needs AND her husband is in the military and often gone. Hopefully she’ll share with us here.

Enjoy!

We’re back from a wonder-filled weekend in Sedona at the Raw Spirit Festival. I’ve started a campaign to speak at the next one in Santa Barbara in June. Many have already emailed the general manager, Theresa Lucek, and said they’d like to see me onstage which was very kind of them to take the time to do so.

Here’s something that I read in a book by an author I’m going to be interviewing next week.

“Anxiety is an attempt to fight future danger or control the uncontrollable, (borrowing pain from the future.) Depression (hanging on to pain from the past) is an attempt to flee danger by retreating into our own private cave through isolation, or numbing our emotions through drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, sex, shopping, you name it.” Dr. Nancy Irwin

I’ll name overeating.

I’m really enjoying this book. I’ve been highlighting numerous sentences starting with the introduction. Anything I didn’t know already? Not really yet, like any “self-help” style book, very often there’s an “aHA!” moment because of the way something is said or the because of the time it’s said.

This book contains 40 stories of life-changing events from people over 40. I actually only heard of/actually know a few people in this book along with “Jane Doe”, “John Doe” and “Anonymous” (yes, they are in the book and for good reason as you’ll find out reading these very honest, revealing, stories). If you enjoy hearing personal stories of change and triumph as I do, this is the book for you.

Obviously, this will be another interesting interview on Celebrating Your Potential. Remember to check it out next week.

Please feel free to comment below.

Until next week ~

Enjoy life!

Purchase You Turn here ~

Yesterday, after finding out an acquaintance has just been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, I received a newsletter from Glendale Adventist Medical Center. Now, I have to tell you ~ this is supposed to be one of the most prestigious medical centers in the U.S. if not the world.

Before I go into the newsletter, let me tell you MY experience with this place. Back around 1980 I knew I didn’t want to have children and chose to have my tubes tied. I went through all the counseling, all the fears, etc., then had a friend drive me over as it’s an out-patient operation and one can’t drive themselves home. They do a final blood test before doing the operation and come back to inform me that I’m pregnant. Well heyyy! The woman next to me is obviously pregnant! I am NOT! 13 years on “the pill” and I go to get my tubes tied and I’m told I’m pregnant?

They tell me they cannot do the operation and to come back in two weeks. Well, I KNOW I’m not pregnant. I go back and another doctor tells me I have no signs of pregnancy. I tell her, “well, there’s a reason for that ~ I’m not pregnant”. She then asks me what I want to do? Reschedule the operation? Um, no, I don’t think so.

This was the second time I’d been misdiagnosed and that was the last time I’ve been to a doctor.

Now, the GAMC newsletter. Front page: “Treatment You Can Trust”… “Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer….. What kind of surgery do I need?” Then they go on to talk about surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons! Not one word about any other way of eliminating a lifestyle-caused dis-ease!!!

Here’s the topper ~ “Your best defense agains breast cancer ~ Annual mammograms…”. The thing that CAUSES cancer is your best defense?

Let’s go to page 3 ~ “reduce risk” ~

* More intensive screening. To find any potential cancer in its beginning stages you may be closely monitored with mammograms, ultra-sounds of the breast and ovaries, breast MRIs and other screen tests.
* Risk-reducing drugs. Certain prescription medications may help reduce, although not eliminate, the risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
*Prophylactic surgery. Surgically removing HEALTHY ovaries or breasts, or both, before they become cancerous.

Does anybody else see the insanity here? They will “screen” women with the stuff that CAUSES cancer, and remove HEALTHY organs and tissue. Nowhere does it say that lifestyle-caused disease can be reversed by stopping what’s causing the cancer. Nowhere does it say that disease cannot live in an alkaline/oxygenated environment. Nowhere does it say that ones’ thoughts and environment as much as anything else, can cause cancer and once those change, the cancer can disappear. Nowhere does it say there are other ways of healing oneself other than drugs and mutilation.

You know what I love? People are giving BILLIONS of dollars every year to the ACA to find a cure for cancer and it’s already there ~ it’s called our immune system.

What’s truly funny to me (not funny ha ha but funny peculiar) is that, every once in awhile they pretend to have come up with something new ~ a new drug, they’ve isolated some cancer cell or cancer “gene” to make people think they’re really doing something. Well, I’m here to tell you, we’ve all got cancer cells inside us from what I understand and a strong immune system is what’s keeping them at bay.

Also, if any of these things worked, why, are their only choices the same they’ve been for over 30 years now ~ Radiation, chemotherapy and mutilation?

Now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen where they suggest men have their prostates or their testicles removed to prevent cancer. I guess women’s body parts are expendable.

Oh! BTW ~ the surgeons they are promoting on the front page ~ are all women.

Enjoy your day,

GREAT, fun clothing, bags and more

As some of you know, I picked up Dr. Doug Graham’s book, The 80/10/10 Diet at the Raw Spirit Festival. What he said when speaking made a lot of sense to me so, had to learn more.

Of course, when someone agrees with me, I like them even more and in this case, I love it that I have FINALLY read what I’ve known, and stated, for years! Germs do NOT cause disease. Here’s what HE said which got me so excited!!!

“… Pasteur (stated) that a toxic “milieu interieur” ~ the inner environment of the body in which the microbes live ~ provides a breeding ground for disease. In other words, regardless of the germ’s origin or type, it presents no threat UNLESS the body is in a run-down state resulting from disturbed and deteriorated interior environment.

Maintaining our inner terrain in a healthy (undisturbed and undeteriorated) state of homeostasis is one of the key benefits we derive from eating a low-fat diet of whole, raw plant foods in their freshest, least processed form. Just as mosquitoes do not cause stagnant ponds, and flies do not cause piles of manure, the “germs” (bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms) around and inside of us do not cause the toxins in our bodies. Yet like mosquitoes and flies, microbes are more than happy to set up shop in toxic locations that provide them with plenty to eat.

If we drain the stagnant pond or clean up the manure pile, the mosquitoes and flies migrate elsewhere. Likewise, the viruses and bacteria that feed upon the toxic wastes inside of us simply move on and cease to be a problem when we clean up our diets and other sources of inner pollution. At this point, our bodies are no longer capable of acting as hosts for such pathogens.”

Build your immune system; stop treating your body as a toxic waste dump and disease will have to find another home.

I’d heard about Douglas Graham and his 80/10/10 food program but not paid much attention to it until I heard him speak at the Raw Spirit Festival this past weekend. What he said made sense to me so I went and purchased two of his books, “The 80/10/10 Diet, Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life, One Luscious Bite at a Time” and “The New High Energy Diet Recipe Guide”.

The following quote was taken from the former book, pg. 242:

“People who are emotionally attached to cooked foods aren’t actually addicted to them since it is physiologically impossible to be addicted to something that is harmful to us. The body simply is not put together that way. It is designed to thrive and cannot become addicted to a harmful substance. The human psyche, however, can become very much addicted to the shift in perception that occurs after we ingest certain substances. A yearning for that shift in perception is the ever-present illusion that lures us to eat cooked foods.”

If this is in fact true, then how is it people who we “say” are addicted to harmful substances including codeine, caffeine, nicotine, heroin, etc. have physcial detox symptoms?

Your thoughts? (add them below please)
