Wakela Runen's World

I have been putting off posting for awhile.  My health really declined in the second half of 2016.  In fact, 2016 ended with me having a stroke and finding out that I am now diabetic. It has been stressful and frustrating.  I am only 45 years old and I am now having to use a walker.  I am terrified of going out anywhere because we live on the second floor and I am not sure how to manage the stairs with a walker. I am relearning how to do many simple tasks.  One thing I did learn is that when I had thought I had a stroke a few years back and the hospital I went to kept telling me that I didn’t have one, they were not right.  I was told that the lesion on my brain was from a previous stroke.  So I had already been suffering from one for a long time.  Thankfully, neither stroke was terribly horrible.  The first one left me a little weak on my left side.  Oh yeah, by the way, I am left handed.  I was still able to get in and out o...

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle was the wonderful scent.  I have been working with essential oils for quite a while now.  Some blends are overpowering and do not have a pleasant smell.  This has a great aroma and is not too strong.  Plus the blend of carrier oils didn't leave me feeling greasy like some of them do.  This one absorbed into my skin and left it feeling soft afterwards. I did notice a huge drop in my appetite after I started using it.  And as an added bonus, grapefruit essential oil also helps with mental clarity and overall energy.  So I felt that it helped me in things other than just curbing my hunger.

I received this product free in exchange for an honest review.   When I first receive any type of supplement, the first thing I check is the smell.  If it smells horrible, then I know that there is no way that I would be able to take it on a regular basis.  Thankfully, these supplements actually have a pleasant smell.  They smell like an herbal tea.  So that was at least one hurdle overcome. I would like to take a moment to mention that dietary supplements are not governed by the FDA.  So they can not make any type of medical claims.  I can only tell you my personal observations.  These are in no way to say that this cleanse is right for you or that it will work the same way for you.  I can only tell you how I felt after taking it and any changes I saw in my body. I have been taking the kidney cleanse supplements for almost 2 weeks now.  Prior to taking them, I had quite a bit of inflamation due to poor kidney functions.  Si...

Description Since its publication in 1984, Louise Hay's international bestseller You Can Heal Your Life has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Now, in MIRROR WORK: 21 DAYS TO HEAL YOUR LIFE, the popular teacher and author offers the first book dedicated to her signature practice for personal transformation. The Mirror Principle, one of Louise's core teachings, holds that our experience of life mirrors our relationship with ourselves; unless we see ourselves as loveable, the world can be a dark and lonely place. Mirror work—looking at oneself in a mirror and repeating positive affirmations—is Louise's powerful method for learning to love oneself and experience the world as a safe and loving place. Like her successful video course, Loving Yourself, MIRROR WORK lays out a 21-day program of teachings and exercises to help readers deepen their relationship with themselves and live a joyous and fulfilling life. “Doing mirror work,” Louise tells readers, “is one of ...
