Channeled message from the oversoul of Shane Swift
Channeled message - Controlled Creation
This is a first for me. I typically Blog about physical and emotional health, but this message was too good to not pass on. The following message was channeled through a good friend of mine, Shane Swift , who is known for his creativity, kindness and free spirit. He's shared his experience of creative thought with me before, and is an inspiration to all newcomers of the open inflow of Universal Life Force energy speaking to and through them. I welcome higher thought and guidance, and encourage you all to tap into the innate source of your own divinity.

I, the soul, am operator and programmer of this vehicle - the body. This vehicle is the optimum space time experience machine for this
dimension. It comes fully equipped with all the most advanced sensory receptors and translators to experience this world of sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing. It also comes equipped with the technology to create whatever experience I so choose to engage in. This technology is based on one of the fundamental laws of this dimension the law of attraction. Which states like energy will attract like energy.
The attraction is created through the language of feelings and emotions which is another function of this machine. Most operators
unknowingly let go of these controls and therefore feel they have no control over the experience. The technology is quietsimple. The three major controls used with the creation process isThoughts, Feelings and Emotions.
Your thoughts are the first processin the art of Controlled Creation. Using frequent sustained thought toimagine what your experience will look like is what drives the energyto create the feelings that will attract situations and circumstancesto begin building the foundations of your experience. Supporting thosefeelings with emotions of gratitude is the currency in which you pay tothe universe in the form of positive energy which the universe mustsustain in order to continue being. In return the universe will moldoutcomes that will continue to produce the positive energy and thiscycle can remain unbroken if you so choose.
The entire process must bedone with certain knowingness just as you are certain of the functionsand controls when operating a vehicle. Each control will perform itsfunction perfectly every single time unless the thoughts change tothoughts of negative energy which tends to happen when the controller"loses faith" of the process and once again begins creating uncertaintyas the experience he or she wishes to choose, which is basically whatyou are telling the vehicle you want to experience. The vehicle willproduce outcomes that will coincide with whatever experience theoperator has chosen. This is what we have designed it to do. As thedimension changes so does the vehicle but the technology remains thesame.

For Skin That GLOWS
Hello Radiant Skin
Need a simple, natural and low cost scrub to rid yourself of dry, dull, and flaking skin
.
Let your skin GLOW
with Fabulosity by Kimora Lee Simons
Contains natural sugar crystals that gently exfoliate dead skin cells from the body leaving behind smoother, softer, glowing skin. Formulated with Shea butter, Illipe butter and cocoa butter. This decadent treat contains an intoxicating scent infused with gardenia, lily of the valley and sandalwood. Includes vitamins A, C and E, magnolia bark extract and hibiscus extract.
Feeling Creative
Here's an easy guide to make your own scrub while customizing scents, oils and even texture
Ingredients and other things you'll need:
* Sugar in the raw
* Oil (Hemp, Grapeseed, Olive, Coconut, Shea butter)
* Essential oil (Rose, Lavender, Orange, Lemon Balm, Patchouli, Ylang ylang, Vanilla)
* Glass jar with lid (wash out an old Jam jar)
* Label: add date and list of ingredients used including amounts of each
Start with a small batch, as the homemade versions tend to spoil quickly. Try using a 50/50 blend of sugar and oil to begin with (3 tbs of each) and add on from their to create the desired texture. There's no right or wrong here. When you have the texture you like, add a small amount of E.O.'s (a few drops) to give you the desired scent.
Store away from heat, light, moisture so not to spoil too fast. Can be used every few days from head to toe for radiant glowing skin that smells divine.
Want to enhance your experience and body scent!
Use the same combo of Essential Oils in a small spray bottle with distilled water and a drop of vodka (for preserving) Again, start out with a small amount of EO's. You can always add more upon testing so its not too overpowering. Viola! Glowing skin and a personalized scent for everyone to notice in a good way

28 Day Body Cleanse
A personal journal - covering my experience on a 28 day detox.
The purpose of this series is to shed light on the subject of whole body cleansing for those who are on the fence. May these entries serve as a lil motivation and make it less scary. A word of advice: seek guidance before starting any detox. I am a health professional yet am doing this under the direction of a health center, Treat Wellness.
Keys to success
Why do a cleanse?
We all have toxins in our system. They store in our fat cells, and pollute our fluids leading to diseases. Needless to say we function optimally with less waste. Toxins passively find their way into our bodies just by doing the most common mindless things like eating food cooked on teflon, drinking out of plastic bottles or aluminum cans, chemicals in our personal care items, pesticides, car exhausts, dental fillings, artificial sugars, etc. However, it's not a passive process eliminating them. We must make an effort to rid them from our system and be more conscious of what we eat and drink. I usually do two cleanses per year to aid my body's waste removal system. I swear this is what keeps me young and healthy.
Food limitations:No processed foods, wheat flour (found in cereals, breads, pasta's) artificial ingredients of any kind (colors, sugars, chemicals) alcohol, drugs, coffee, dairy (yogurt, milk, cheese)
Do: drink lots of pure water, herbal teas, fresh fruits/veggies, organic as much as possible. I like Ezekiel wraps/muffins as a substitute for bread. With live enzymes and sprouted grains, it makes for a delicious healthy option.
Week 1:
Supplements: OPC-3, digestive enzymes w probiotics, fish oil, Vit D
Vitamixed my superfood smoothies everyday: Complete meal, 2-3x per day. Added frozen and fresh fruit, Acai, almond milk,coconut milk, chia seed or flax, PaleoCleanse, PaleoMeal,Detox pak, Complete Greens, Advanced Fiber w probiotics & L-Glutamine.
Lots of herbal teas...damiani or yogi tea brand.
. I allowed myself 2 pieces of chocolate for valentines day, then hid them from site after I literally started sweating.
How I felt:
My body was TIRED...so I honored it and rested as much as possible. My stomach is very sensitive and has a hard time breaking down protein and the increase in fiber...so needless to say I was in a little pain and bloated, but not nearly as bad as I expected. Overall, my body took it very well.
Exercise:
Yoga and dance...although not so much, do to being so tired.
Emotionally:
I am a firm believer in positive affirmations to keep optimistic and to accomplish my goals. Whenever doing something outside of the "norm" routine, it's important to program your subconscious mind. I do the "Gayatri Mantra" daily for spiritual protection, guidance and enlightenment.
I am cleansing more than my body, I am also purifying my mind and energy. I cherish my life, and am honoring it by removing impurities that are of a low vibration (heavy) and hold me back from achieving my highest level of living.
WEEKS 2-3:
Supplements and smoothies same as above - plus aloe juice
Exercise
I joined the YMCA and am figuring things out with free weights & some kinda cardio for 10-20 minutes, and abs. I also dance 2x or more per week
Physical & Emotional
I struggled to keep up this last week. I actually got a bad cold, so had to take otc meds for symptoms (I resisted) and my mom got me a cake for a special celebration (newly single) and I ate half of it =o I KNOW...the shame. My girls threw a party for me and I drank sangria (with fruit...so it was "healthy" lol) SOOOO....i decided to take a few extra days of cleansing on top of the 28 days. UGH - but it was all worth it!
WEEK 4-5
Continued with smoothies as usual, loaded with frozen fruits, coconut milk, chia seed or flax, fiber and probiotic powder and greens, detox powder, protein powder. I added my Isotonix supplements to enhance its vitamin/minerals.
I actually feel like my body is very sensitive to what I put in it now. I've been eating well for sometime now, but purging my toxins has "lightened" me up. Today I feel GREAT! Earlier in the 2nd week I had a mild headache, normal symptom of detox.
I kept having dreams about whales and sharks, which according to the dream dictionary can mean intuition or a feeling of being overwhelmed (whale) and aggressive behavior with no regard for others or anger and hostility (shark) hmmmm.....
POST DETOX REPORT: March 17, 2010
Guys...I went on a binge with cookies and cake this week. (my version of binge, anyway) When it's in my presence, I am weak (my kryptonite). I am acutely observing my eating habits now, and am curious about where this reckless abandon for my health is coming from? Stuffing something, apparently. I will make note, and stay aware of what, how & why I eat. Even us skinny chicas have vices.
I still feel FABULOUS.... quick recovery from sugar binge (although I did sleep poorly on the nights that I indulged)
That's all for now...until I blog again - Namaste.

Keys to success
- Preparation - having a plan to follow is helpful. You don't start without knowing what to eat, drink, and follow a schedule.
- Attitude - going into it with an optimistic point of view and without expectations (ie...some people loose weight on a cleanse, but expecting that could lead to unnecessary disappointment if you don't)
- Commitment - you might have a few slip ups, but do the best you can by intending to stay the course, no matter what.
- Supplements - not all products are created equal. The right supplements will aid in the elimination of stored toxins and restore health. For this 28 day detox, I am using "designs for health" found at my health center. However, I've also used a 7 day cleanse from "nutriclean". Both are great. I do not support programs that deny food of any kind. I feel that it is extreme and unnecessary.

Snacks: granola with banana, nuts/seeds, hummus & rice crackers, ezekiel muffins w almond butter and grape jelly (natural, no added sugar) coconut icecream (not really part of the diet :o) rice cakes
Main meals: This week I made a huge dish that I literally ate everyday... (I'm all about convenience) Lentil soup w brown rice and had salads on the side. Salads had peppers, avocado,seeds, pineapple, dried cranberries, spring mix, spinach, homemade dressing w ginger and garlic.I did cheat a couple of times: One night, I had a beer (shame) while I was out listening to live Celtic music, so who can blame me...It was a weak moment, but already forgiven

Main meals - I usually make a big dinner and eat it for lunch the next day and if all goes well, another dinner. I'm all about convenience. Homemade quesadia's with tomatoe soup (sauteed tempeh, garlic, onion, hot pepper sauce, shitaki mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, soy cheese or raw organic cheddar on an Ezekiel wrap) Sauteed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, tempeh) Quinoa patties, Grape leaves stuffed with garbanzos rice and seasons.

Release stress, anxiety, pain & sadness from your life
After years of personally suffering with pain, depression, and anxiety without any relief from the conventional method of "treating" the symptoms, I decided to investigate natural alternative options as a last stitch effort to free myself from what seemed at the time to be the death grip of evil. ...<< MORE >>
Fountain of youth
Ask Shawna
Q. Do you have any natural recommendations for anti aging, inside and out? D.D.
A. Ooh, I love this subject. The good news is, yes... you can naturally prevent and reverse aging with its related illnesses.
Here's a simple list of some things you can do today and begin to neutralize and repair cell damage and renew yourself at a cellular level.
Cleanse - It is critical to help keep our waste removal system (detox processes) in optimum working condition. Toxins come in at all angles, from our own metabolic waste to food, water, and air pollution. This can cause damage to our cells that lead to age related illness. I regularly recommend the "nutraclean 7 day cleanse" as an easy to follow, gentle detoxifying 3 part system to assist the body with waste removal.
Balance pH - By now, most people are aware of the importance of keeping our pH balanced. Considering the average American diet consists of 80% acid forming food, (opposite of what's advised) I would say it's wise to supplement with a alkaline enhancing formula like "complete greens" (powder or tablet) Not only can this help optimize pH, but it's loaded with live enzymes from over 50 raw green nutrients. It's like having the health benefits of over 7 servings of veggies in one drink! And YES, it tastes good too.
Feed & Nourish - Once you've cleared out the garbage and reduced your acidic environment, you now need to feed and nourish your body systems. These are the things in which we need to function at the most basic level. My absolute "never be without" favorite antioxidant for DeAging is OPC-3 Beauty Blend. And considering the unique needs of each individual, I recommend a quick "nutri-physical" which provides a customized solution to your nutritional needs.
Cellular Labs - offers a complete line of high quality, cutting edge cosmeceuticals designed to help reverse the outer signs of aging and restore skins youthful function. Cleanse, Tone, Treat, Moisturize (protect) with cellular labs skin care products.
There is enough info per link to educate you further, and get you started on your transition to a healthier, younger you. Please let me know if you should have any questions or need assistance with your specific inquiry.

In preparation for flu season
We've all experienced some level of being under the weather, and know that viruses are notorious for evading modern medicine. So have you considered what your options are? How about increasing your body's own ability to fight off the lil buggers? Let's not dismiss mother nature, the most powerful resource for health aids. I'm about to share with you what's in my bag of tricks for flu & cold natural alternatives.
For those of us who refuse to concede to illness, I've put together a list of natural medicine cabinet must haves in order to defend yourself against any viral invasion & increase healing time in the event you do "catch" something.
It's important to understand that natural remedies can work to improve your body's natural defense against the cold & flu virus, and increase your innate healing capabilities. Virus and bacteria are opportunists...they'll only "take over" when given the right conditions.
Things to avoid while sick
Happy Healing!

For those of us who refuse to concede to illness, I've put together a list of natural medicine cabinet must haves in order to defend yourself against any viral invasion & increase healing time in the event you do "catch" something.
- Vitamin D3 - aids in the proper function of immune system as well as all other systems. This is my number one must have for the cold season. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
- Digestive enzymes with probiotics - in addition to the obvious (digestive enzymes help to break down food particles and allow for better absorption of nutrients) there's another benefit. Enzymes actually help to digest the hard outer shell of a virus, allowing for the immune system to break into it and kill it much more efficiently. I'm all about efficacy. OH, and of course probiotics are food for your immune system. Essential for a healthy body.
- Immune Maximum Defense Formula - mushrooms contain beta glucans that are known for their immune enhancing properties. They increase your natural killer cells.
- Nutritional support - vitamins: A (10,000 IU as beta carotene), C (2-5g as ascorbate) zinc gluconate (180 mg) B complex, NAC
- Netty Pot (sinus rinse) - you can find at your local pharmacy or another similar type product that will irrigate your sinuses in a gentle way. Add salt to room temp distilled water, sometimes I'll add silver hydrosol to kill germs. This will clear your passages of any harmful pathogens and excess mucus.
- Green Tea - with a wide range of health benefits, green tea is shown to kill bacteria. You can drink up to 5 cups (unsweetened) a day. (Especially good for food poison.)
- Homeopathic Oscillococcinum -this formula is a popular otc brand, and is helpful at reducing the symptoms of the common cold.
- Juice fresh fruits & veggies - Fresh, raw produce contain live enzymes which contribute to healing. Juice combo's of: lemon, orange, pineapple, black current, elderberry, carrot, beet, tomato, peppers, watercress, celery, spinach, cucumbers, ginger, garlic, onion, wheat grass, spearmint.
- Aromatherapy - peppermint, pine, rosemary, tea tree, lavender, lemon, camphor, eucalyptus (add e.o.'s to a spray bottle with distilled h2o and spray around the home on pillows and bedding)
- Silver Hydrosol - safe and effective alternative known for its antibacterial properties. In addition to taking internally, I'll dampen a cloth with it to clean my phone, computer keyboard, clicker, doorknobs, etc. (the less harmful toxic chemicals you use, the better your health) try nano-silver from Dr. Laibow at www.naturalhealthfreedom.com
- Garlic, Elderberry, Cayenne pepper, Echinacea & Goldenseal tincture - you can find a good quality tincture at your health food store that will include these any combination of these herbs. A tincture is made from steeping herbs in a menstrum of some sort (alcohol, glycerin, vinegar) for a period of about 2-4 weeks until all of that plant's healthy constituents have leached out into that menstrum. It is then strained and bottled.
It's important to understand that natural remedies can work to improve your body's natural defense against the cold & flu virus, and increase your innate healing capabilities. Virus and bacteria are opportunists...they'll only "take over" when given the right conditions.
Things to avoid while sick
- Smoke
- Cows milk
- alcohol
- artificial foods
- chemicals
- sugar laden highly processed foods
- Negative people and events
Happy Healing!

A. Thank you for asking this question and allowing me the opportunity to share what I believe in, and that is Yes,You Can repair and live in optimal health after substance abuse. Know that with intentional practice and diligent effort, you can be healthy and whole.
As individual's, we each have unique needs. The following list of recommendations is for guidance, but not specific. Please communicate with a natural health professional if you are serious about healing.
1.) Supplement for success
Nutritional intervention through the use of supplementation is critical for a recovering addict as proven by Dr Marshak's recovery system, showing that 70% of his program grads continue with improvements in mood and overall sense of well being
The following is a list of my top product recommendations for a successful recovery & healthy body, which can be ordered on my website at www.SuccessWithShawna.com
NOTE: To determine your specific needs, please e-mail your questions to me at successwithshawna@gmail.com
*Please seek guidance with any new supplement regimen. If you order choose to order online through my site, I will ensure you receive that proper guidance.
2.) Exercising your Mind and Body
3.) Genetic Factor
Inheriting the addiction gene does NOT mean your bound to become an addict. But it's how you "perceive" your external environmental, causing internal reactions or triggers to activate the expression of those genes (responses to negative events; early childhood emotional trauma, stress, pollution, poor diet) If you can trigger a gene to express itself in such a way to create addictions, than it could be possible to prevent that trigger and recreate the "feel good" response naturally and healthfully. Bruce Lipton is the leading authority on this subject, and makes it easy for people to understand how this works.
4.) Diet
It's very important to follow a low glycemic diet for a healthy lifestyle and to keep off unwanted pounds. This is what I promote to all of my clients, sober or not. Visit my website to educate yourself about the Transitions Lifestyle System LowGI eating and behavior modification to start your new lifestyle.
Do:
Enriched flour, added sugars, processed foods, artificial ingredients (colors, fake sugar, flavors) MSG, hydrogenated oils, soda, pesticides, household chemicals for cleaning, (switch to environmentally friendly products.) If you smoke cigarettes, you should consider eliminating that as well, or at least take off that poisonous filter (lead, cadmium, arsenic, and other toxic chemicals) and switch to an all natural tobacco product without the added chemicals.

- Meditation & Hypnosis - you know very well that old habits die hard. One way to break habits is to strengthen your conscious mind. The subconscious part of your mind acts whether or not your paying attention (autopilot). It's like a computer program in your brain, uploading data since birth through experiences. Well, that old software needs to be consciously updated every once in a while. But,the autopilot mind is 1 million times stronger than your conscious mind, making the old outdated system hard to adjust and control. A great way to strengthen your conscious mind is to meditate, as it improves your mental strength so you can focus on your intentions (getting healthy) While hypnosis can help update the software, allowing you to add new healthy habits. A great resource to learn more about this is www.free-hypnosisdownloads.com

Are you the next "eudaimonic"???
Just imagine, a life full of peace, happiness, abundance & bliss. Think it's too good to be true? Be careful what you focus on... as long as you believe it, so it is.
I'm not suggesting an unrealistic "everything's peachy" denial about life. The happiness I'm talking about involves the ability to call on our own innate resources when difficulties arise, viewing obstacles as opportunities to learn and grow. Living awake, aware, and intentionally. With a light so bright that no shadow can completely extinguish. This is our true eudaimonic nature. (Greek: eu- "good" , daimon- "spirit" or "diety")
Wish to live a eudaimonic life?
Here's a "must know" list of concepts and references for your journey:
Namaste,
Shawna J Plunkett, HHP
Do you have light to share? Want to tell us about your experience with a eudaimonic life? (it's so fun to say
Please enlighten us with your thoughts in this blog.

Wish to live a eudaimonic life?
Here's a "must know" list of concepts and references for your journey:
- Purpose - the force that propels you in this life. Nothing brings you more spiritual fulfillment than living out your design. We all have a plan. Have you learned yours? Meditation can be used as a powerful tool to tap into your most trusted resource, your spirit guide. Ask your guide to show you the way, and let your intuition be your truth meter. Don't think you know how to meditate or listen? Visit www.ritamilios.com and order her book "Tools for Transformation" A step by step guide on how to use mind tools to transform your life.
- Allowing - Such a simple yet challenging philosophy, an art for one to master. Allowing is a cross referencing term, used to describe an act of complete and non-judgmental acceptance towards self, others, and events. See "The Law of Allowing" by Abraham-Hicks to best understand this free will focused intention.
- Forgiveness - Freedom from resentment, revenge, and anger. As Jesus said to love thy neighbor, without reservation. An act which involves coming to peace with our past, as we restore faith in ourselves and in life. The resource one must draw upon is courage to let go. By holding onto anger, we live in the past and ultimately place our lives on hold.
- Gratitude - it's an attitude! Find yourself complaining a lot? The simple act of being grateful may be the missing ingredient. Don't sweat the small stuff, but do focus on what you like about your life. If you have a warm bed to sleep in & food in your cubbard, you're better off than 80% of the world. Really... what do you like about your life? Tell us in this blog. Practice this ritual daily until the gratitude attitude seeps in.
- Persistence & Perseverance - happy people are successful, and failures are a prerequisite to success. They allow for a rich experience. Having the tenacity to continue on your journey in the face of opposition requires strength beyond measure. You decide if it's worth the fight. If the answer is "hell yeah!" than who cares what the nay sayers think. They do not walk in your shoes. Maybe they need to follow the art of allowing, or just maybe their purpose is to oppose you on your journey - allowing you to build character. Makes the victory that much sweeter. Now that's a gift to be grateful for.
Namaste,
Shawna J Plunkett, HHP
