Day 2 continued: Shakaya Leone

And so day 2 wraps up with Shakaya Leone who insists that “Beauty is your essence embodied”. I wasn’t so sure that I understood what that meant when she first said it. But then she continued to state that beauty is not skin deep and it started to make more sense. Beauty isn’t only about your physical looks. Beauty is your essence (soul) radiating (or not) depending on how well you take care of yourself. True beauty can be masked without the proper mental and physical health that we all need to thrive.

Building on what Dr. Lissa spoke about in the previous call, Shakay agrees that it is critical that we listen to our bodies. A zit that pops up on your big day is not random. It’s your body trying to tell you something. Maybe you are too stressed or are eating too many processed foods. LISTEN!

Here is Shakaya’s breakdown of the face (which is actually a map of your internal organs)

A long face = longevity

Nose = your heart. A red or swollen nose may correlate directly to your heart muscles.

Eyes = your true health

Eyebrows = adrenal glands (your immune system and nervous system). Thinning eyebrows may indicate a weaker immune system.

Eyebags (bags under your eyes): kidneys (may indicate you are eating too much sugar or salt)

Frownlines: the left side is associated with your spleen (not standing your ground or being overly emotional) and the right with your liver (think overeating, being angry, or not getting enough sleep)

Hair: overall vitality (your diet)

Cheeks: lungs (note how smokers have sunken cheeks)

Tongue: nervous system

So for me, all of this was a bit over the top. Sure I can see why a zit would mean you are stressed or eating too much fried foods, but the other stuff may be a reach. I would love to think that you really can tell from your face what your organs are feeling, but I need more proof. This is definitely something I will need to do extra research on.

All in all, you can’t take care of others if you do not take care of yourself. Exquisite self care, is what Shakaya calls it. Eating raw for instance is so good for your body that it connects directly to abundance, as she says. You can take good care of yourself through: joy, food, water, work (having meaning), relationships, exercise, and rest. This along with the following are a recipe for a wonderful, healthy life: Reflect (connect to your true self), release (declutter, detox, simplify), receive (love and abundance), relaxation, renewal, and revel (celebrate).

Take what you will from all of this. But know that you can’t possibly have a healthy mind without a healthy body. Your body is what holds your spirit and your love. You would not be without your temple (body). I am a strong believer in eating a plant-based diet. I am vegetarian and am working hard to try to keep a vegan lifestyle as well. If you treat your body well it will be good to you in return. Sugar, caffeine, processed foods, meat, and dairy are all things that hurt your body and work against you. Many of them have been directly linked to diseases that kill millions. Listen, I could go on forever about this but we will save it for another post. In the meantime, look into ‘Crazy, Sexy, Diet’ by Kris Carr. And ask for a miracle. Ask the universe to help you shift your thinking to better focus on a healthy body.

Can’t wait for day 3: Marci Shimoff and Michelle Villalobos speak about success!

Day 2: Dr. Lissa Rankin

Day 2 was centered about your body. Who better than Dr. Lissa Rankin to speak about that. She is a gynecologist and author, among other things. This was a really powerful and eye opening call. 

Could it be that the medical world has been deceiving us for many years? Do we really need doctors and modern medicine to heal ourselves. Lissa argues that no, we do not. We have the power in our minds to completely heal ourselves of all ailments. Think, the placebo effect. This has been driving the medical world crazy. How could a fake drug work?? Easily, if you believe it, anything can happen. Lissa told a story of a doctor diagnosed with a very severe cancer. He was given two weeks to live when a controversial drug was introduced. Absolutely certain it would help him, he convinced his doctors to let him try it. 10 days later he walked out of the hospital without the cancer. However, three months later when he read an article stating that this drug does NOT work, his tumors returned! His doctors (realizing what was happening) assured him he did not receive the pure version of the drug before. Injecting him with saline they told him this was the purest form of the drug. He believed it and was cancer free once again. The story ends with this man reading another article proclaiming once again this drug does NOT work. He died a few days later. True story, think about it. let the power of the mind really sink in for you. It's a lot to wrap your head around.

So what is your source of truth? That man's truth was anything he read in a medical journal. Do you believe everything the news and media tell you? Reconsider the fact that no one knows your body better than you do. The media can tell you a certain disease is untreatable but your mind may know a different truth.YOU should be your source of truth. When you listen carefully to your body, it will always tell you the truth. Lissa calls that your inner pilot light or your feminine intuition. Listen to it, connect to it, and acknowledge what the root cause of your pain or disease is. Until you work through the root cause you will only be throwing medicine at a problem that doesn’t need it. Where are you feeling pain? Ask yourself why and then communicate with your pain or disease. Yeah, I know that sounds crazy. But I have actually heard this multiple times. Wayne Dyer for instance insists that he never gets sick because when he feels something small coming on, he talks to it and heals himself without medicine. His daughter spoke to small facial deformity that the doctors could not get rid of. And what do you know, GONE!

Don't quite believe me? Do your own research. And ask for a miracle to alter your perception of your source of truth and the power of the mind.

The most important lesson learned here is that if you don’t really listen to your body you may miss something that will resurface later as something much worse. Shakay Leon speaks more about this in the next call. Stay tuned.
