Preserve Vital Nutrition Freedom–starting in N.J.

~Carrie on August 19th, 2008

Help support NJ Health Counselors fight back against Senate Bill 1941. If passed, this bill will only allow Registered Dietitians to “furnish nutritional information” or engage in the “explanation to persons as to the use of food.” We must stop the American Dietetic Association before legislation like this is passed in all 50 states. New Jersey is where we start.  If this bill passes, New Jersey citizens will lose the freedom to seek dietary advice from nutrition experts of their choice.

Take action now for your freedom to speak about nutrition or to receive the very best information available (which is generally not that which is taught to dieticians.  Their profession is sponsored and informed by big money powers that are directly corroding the health of Americans.)

Your role is simple: If you oppose the Bill, dial the numbers below and say, “I’m calling to oppose Senate Bill 1941.” This bill proposes that in New Jersey only Registered Dieticians will be allowed to speak with clients about nutrition.

Robert Singer: (732) 901-0702

Joseph Vitale: (732) 855-7441

The ADA’s mission is to serve the public as “the most valued source” of good advice about food and nutrition. But the ADA receives more than $3 million from Wendy’s, McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Taco Bell, Hershey’s and more. On the ADA website you’ll find tips on how to make a family dinner healthier–sponsored by Wendy’s.

The U.S. government recommends 3-5 servings of vegetables, 2-4 servings of fruits and 6-11 servings of grains a day. When was the last time you saw a tray filled with greens, fruits and grains at Wendy’s?

Read more about troublesome partnerships with the food industry: Dietitians and their company sponsors make strange buffet fellows.

Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says: “If standardization of the nutrition practice is left in the hands of a single professional organization, the potential bias caused by financial arrangements raises important questions…It is a dangerous mistake to establish in law a monopoly on nutritional counseling.”

Michael Jacobson, PhD, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest says: “I’m very troubled by laws that prevent anyone–including professors of nutrition–from giving nutrition advice, unless they are registered dietitians.”

If this bill passes, millions will be impacted. The bill claims that the health and welfare of the residents of New Jersey will be protected by identifying to the public those individuals who are qualified and legally authorized to practice dietetics/nutrition. The citizens of New Jersey certainly need protection–but not from Health Counselors.

The time to call is now! Pick up the phone to have your voice heard.

Your urgent call to action is simple:
1. Make the call now.
2. Inform others who care about these issues, and have them inform their network

**The offices are currently taking a tally of who opposes or supports this bill and your votes will be presented to the Senators when they meet again in September. So don’t hesitate or feel intimidated–they want to know what you think.

 

Tree of Life Center–Power for Transformation

~Carrie on August 18th, 2008

-

I just got back from 5 days at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona.  I was there as part of my masters degree program that I’m doing through the affiliate school (Human School of Living Arts) that is led by Gabriel Cousens M.D.  The masters is in vegan and live foods nutrition.

Dr. Cousens is an extraordinary human being.  He is a medical doctor, an ayurvedic doctor, a rabbi, AND he is actually enlightened, too, meaning that he has reached an extremely high level of spiritual development and self-realization.  He has created the center and all of its programs from a high vantage point of knowing how healing and evolution really happen.

The center has vaious programs regarding healing and fasting, as well as spiritual development.  When you go there you get to eat at their fantastic live-foods cafe, and enjoy the desert and mountainous beauty of Patagonia.  I highly recommend it for anyone looking for the highest level of guidance in their healing journey.

I, myself, am especially pleased that Dr. Cousins has accepted the book that I am writing to be my thesis for the masters program.  That means that he will be reviewing and mentoring me in the book. Having spent several days in his presence and hearing him teach, I now get the extent of what a powerful, knowledgable, and enlightening influence his is.  I see how big an opportunity this is, and I am quite honored.

 

Mandatory Toxic Injections for YOU?

~Carrie on July 29th, 2008

-

I recently received a long and informative email from Dr. Rima Laibow, the medical director of The Natural Solutions Foundation, which is a non-profit that works to protect our health freedom. I’m including a link to the letter, which is posted on my website. The bottom line of her content is that our government has taken bird flu and turned it into a biological weapon. It wasn’t really a threat before. Now it is a threat to us.

In my opinion, what’s far worse than that is a mandatory vaccination that 32 states have already accepted as law for all residents without exception should the governor declare a pandemic. I know how to protect myself from any virus. Toxic injections are a more difficult story. Regarding that, here is the quote from Dr. Laibow’s message that struck me that hardest: *”January, 2008: Covert ‘human trials’ of Sanofi-Pasteur H5N1 vaccine is conducted on 350 homeless vagrants in Poland. * According to London Telegraph and Examiner articles, this results in 21 “instant” deaths and over 200 severely incapacitated or hospitalized.” Development and sales of H5N1 vaccine continues.”

To read Dr. Laibow’s entire message, visit: http://portal.integrativenutrition.com/graduates/cmackerwicz.aspx?pageid=10

More than half of those people died or were severely hurt by the vaccine. And that’s what they want US to take! Because that might seem implausible to many (who still believe what the pharmaceutical industry wants them to–that vaccines are safe and effective), Dr. Laibow details several recorded incidents of horrifying, criminal-caliber incidents of vaccine administration (sometimes forced) and its devastating consequences.

Basically, something VERY wrong is going on in our world and it could be about to affect all of us in an up close and personal way. I do believe in Grace, and I do believe there are ways to avert horrible occurrences. But I don’t believe that Grace steps in as much when people are totally asleep and in need of a serious wake up call.

We need to realize that there are some people in power now who don’t have our best interest in mind.

Please follow the link and read Dr. Laibow’s message. She’s serious, and ready with passport in hand to leave this country at the first signs of trouble.  You can go to her website and sign up to receive her newsletter if you’d like her to keep you posted on her findings.

In the Wake of Great Healing

~Carrie on June 24th, 2008

-

It’s been a while since I’ve written.  I’ve been busy!  After a blessed winter doing deep, incredible healing work in my wooded retreat home, the universe has sprung me back out into the world–back to the city!  Who would have thought!  I thought I wanted to live in nature, but I’m finding now that I have deepened my connection to the peace that attracted me to nature, enough such that it is more important for me to focus on helping spread that in the world, rather than seeking refuge from the world to gain more peace.  And I must say, it feels good!

I’m working with clients one-on-one, doing some private health food chef/”home spa” work, and most importantly…writing my book!  I’m in love with the book–it’s the culmination of my life’s work so far–and it’s quite, quite difficult to write because I’m condensing such a vast body of information…such a non-linear body of information into a precise structure.  But when I get into the flow, I am rewarded with the influx of a very high-vibrational energy.  It’s WORK, indeed, and it pays off quite sweetly.  Work is such a blessed thing when its the work of spirit.

I’ve been blown away by changes in my reality after the winter of major healing and clearing work.  When we cleanse and clarity the vessel of our spirit (body, mind, emotions), spirit shines through and invariably changes the appearance of our outer life.  Major upward changes happening in my career and even family life.  They’re all healing!  What a dream!!!  Isn’t that what we all pray for when it comes to our families.  Well, it is possible!  When we back off and set a great example, maintaining a high vibration, they catch on, if it is the will of their spirit.

Sending my best wishes to the Circle of Healers community!

 

The Feminine Power

~Carrie on February 12th, 2008

-

I’ve had some sharp new insight lately on the matters of success, intuition, balance, feminine forces, and many other reltated things.  One of my greatest fascinations is the matter of human potential actualization and how to create success in life.  I have been realizing how much success information is saturated in the masculine energy of action, thinking, and direction.  Even I, as a female, have for most of my life been quite dominant in the mental over the feeling function.  I’ve had a strong masculine energy underlying my approach to life.  But things are changing now…

Without enough input from the feminine polarity, the masculine forces become empty, uninspired, and even dysfunctional.  It seems like this is what has overcome so much of the modern business world, and I even found it creeping into my own approach to my work.  Now I’m stepping back to do more trusting and receiving, more deeply connecting to the most vital essences of my inspiration.  I know these kind of words get spoken a lot in books… you know…”balance yourself” “trust” and so forth.  And it’s like OK, fine, whatever…I’ll trust, I’ll get balanced.  It’s almost kind of boring, cliche information until you really connect to it and are ready to take it to another level of experience.  Then it becomes really rich and totally life-altering.

I know that what I’ve been missing is enough presence of the feminine forces.  And now that I’ve had my epiphany and am ready to open up to more, I KNOW that things are going to be different for me.  Bigtime!

 

Examining Relationships–Empty calories, or lasting nourishment?

~Carrie on February 6th, 2008

-

I’ve found that relationships with people can be a lot like consumption of food in a way. Some of them give off good, strong, nourishing energy that lasts and ultimately leaves us with more than what we started with. Others may feel exciting or important or compelling in one way or another, yet if we really look at it, leave us with a net loss of energy.

I have this one friend who I met recently with whom I seemed to have so much in common. An amazing amount, in fact. I was really excited about the relationship because I hadn’t found one quite like it ever before. I wound up investing quite a bit of mental and emotional energy into it. I felt like it had so much to offer me. But…then I noticed that certain conflicts within the relationship were actually absorbing a significant amount of my energy and leaving me feeling bad, with a struggle on my plate where I had once been clear and energized. Despite these feelings, I still got caught up for a while in feeling like this relationship had so much to give me because of the novel similarities, the good connection, and the fun that I had with the person…sometimes.

But finally, it just seemed to get through to me that if I kept engaging in the relationship in the same way as I was, it was truly creating a net loss of energy, despite its promise that I wanted to believe in. That was a big realization, and kind of shocking. I realized that for now, I’ll have to keep my distance from this person despite the promise I thought it had, because my energy is so valuable and I have a lot of important things to do with it. I need to take care of my well-being.

I see so many people in the world getting caught up in relationships that cause a net loss, just like sugar. They may give a deceptive rush sometimes, but when it comes down to it, they deplete us. Opening up our eyes to see the full picture is a huge step in gaining power and self-mastery. I must say that I am feeling in a new domain of power and self-mastery to be able to step back from this one. It feels really good, and I know that I am achieving valuable healing in the emotional journey that it has been to do what it takes to take the best care of myself.

How to REALLY be Successful

~Carrie on January 22nd, 2008

-

For years I wondered why I couldn’t seem to get the Law of Attraction to work in my favor even though I understood it so well, practiced, and believed in it. I passionately studied success information, and found that it simply wasn’t enough to just have the information and “do my best” with it…there was something more that was absolutely necessary in order to raise the caliber of my life and my success.

Finally, I began to piece together the entire picture of what was needed, and what had been missing. I realized that most of the success and wellness resources out there (including the movie “The Secret”) are offering only the LAST steps in the process! It’s impossible to get any really dramatic results from that kind of advice if you don’t have a certain foundation in place that will support the implementation of the advice.

We each have the foundation inherent in us, but there are three major categories of obstacle blocking it, and very few people know how to effectively remove the obstacles (or even that they exist at all!).

Once I realized all this and removed some of my own biggest obstacles, I gained access to massive degrees of my own personal power/potential and things began to change. Perfect opportunities opened up for me very quickly. Life began to feel so-very-good all around.

My business partner and I are putting on a day-long event to share with people what we have discovered about the complete mechanics of success. The event is called “The Natural High Life Workshop.”

The event is February 9, 2008 in the beautiful woodsy town of Shutesbury, MA. Even if you don’t live around here, the information presented will be well worth making the trip. There will be exquisite gourmet live-food cuisine served and the price for the day is super-affordable for what this event will give you.

What makes it SO much easier to eat well?

~Carrie on January 2nd, 2008

-

As a holiday gift, I gave a relative 3 days of personal health-food chef services. The food consisted of superfood/cacao smoothies, and a combination of all organic macrobiotic and raw dishes. She LOVED the food. Prior to this she knew she needed to get healthy but it seemed so difficult to eat well and such an overwhelming challenge. She’d been given good information and recipes previously, but somehow that just wasn’t enough for her to overcome the mental blockages to making the shift.

It was amazing how the experience of being directly shown what the food options were, and how tasty and satisfying and FUN they were, was enough to totally turn the tide and get her way into the whole health-food eating thing. She also noticed her bloating went right down, and she felt a light, happy kind of energy buzz going through her. Wow! What a difference. And that was only 3 days.

Sometimes it’s not enough to just hear of things, and have the right information. People really move forward when they have something tangible and exciting to spark them into action. Not everyone has the resource of a personal chef, but it’s possible to ask for help from friends and family, or invite someone over to prepare food together. Having fun in the process is probably the most compelling factor of all. It needs to be there for the new eating habits to really take hold and benefit someone most thoroughly.

My friends and I tend to eat what would be considered one of the strictest, most “extreme” diets in existence (raw, vegan). But honestly, I don’t know if I’ve EVER experienced anyone having as much fun and enjoyment with food as we do. Coincidence…I think not.

Hold the Vision…it works

~Carrie on December 13th, 2007

For quite a while now, yoga has been the weak link in my self-care/spiritual regimen.  I eat really well, I jog regularly, and I meditate daily, but for the longest time, I just somehow couldn’t seem to get yoga in regularly.  Whether it was a matter of time, not wanting to travel out to a studio, or what, I’ve just not had that piece in place since several years ago.

But I’ve wanted it more and more lately.  Now that I’ve moved even farther outside of the nearest town, the prospect seemed maybe even more remote.  But lo…  the other day I came home and part of the house was very hot.   My housemate said she was practicing Bikram Yoga.  She has made a regular thing of it, and today I joined her for the first time and loved it.  There were 4 of us doing it actually.  From now on, I’ll have group motivation, technique support from a couple folks more advanced than I, and the convenience of doing yoga right in my own home.  Today we were toasty hot watching tons of snow come down outside.  It was sweet.

This is just one more piece of evidence for me that the universe is behind us right now to create our dreams and to provide us with the tools and support we need to achieve vibrant health and wellness.  As a health counselor, so often I hear from people who are discouraged because the circumstances of their lives seem to prevent them from one measure or another that they would like to take for wellness.  I strongly believe that if we just hold the vision of what we would love, the universe can and will find the way to make it work.  It can definitely take patience, but that’s just another chance to apply gratitude and appreciate all the other wonderful things that we do already have.

If you’re ready to STEP UP and live your potential…

Calling all lightworkers, healers, agents-of-change, artists, and anyone who wants to shine their Spirit and make a difference on the planet!  Next Level Wellness presents: The Light-Warrior Emergence Group.  To you who are ready to step up and live as a higher expression of your Spirit’s potential, this group offers powerhouse support, inspiration, motivation, and the most effective holistic tools available. 

 This group will take place in a teleforum, and is therefore accessible to anyone who has use of a telephone.  The group will take place twice a month for 6 months’ duration.  To learn more about The Light-Warrior Emergence group, please join us for a free tele-seminar on Spiritual Nutrition and Transformational Technologies.  Email carrie@nextlevelwellness for times and registration info.

 The Light-Warrior Emergence Group will address 4 levels of our existence: physical, mental, emotional, and Spiritual.  But simply put, it will center around two key factors:

1. Removal of what is blocking the expression of Spirit 

2. Attainment of what nourishment, tools, and support are needed in order for our Spirits to SOAR like never before in their joyful missions here in the physical world. 

 

On the physical level this will involve learning to hone your body into a high-vibrational temple, the kind which is needed in order to access and run the high-level energies of pure Spirit. 

 To do this you will learn about and be supported in maintaining a lifestyle of cutting-edge, pure, and potent nutrition.  This will NOT be like a diet and will not revolve around deprivation and pain.  To the contrary, it will be about joyfully receiving the best foods, superfoods, and nourishment that the planet has to offer.  You will learn many exciting secrets.

 We will also learn about the various forms of internal cleansing.  Participants will be supported in learning about and carrying out whatever form of cleansing is most appropriate for them.  This removes obstructive physical matter from the body, along with energies that block or distort the signal that comes from our Spirit.   

 Participants will learn:

 

·    The most sound, effective approach to achieving lasting wellness

·    A simple, easy-to-use formula for choosing the foods that will support wellness

·    How to recognize foods that will burden the body, and to see through misleading advertising

·    The single worst, most damaging food substance one could ingest and where it is found

·    The most important, and most lacking food in the American diet

·    The best source for all important nutrients

·    How to hear and distinguish the body’s signals

·    A complete array of the world’s most powerful “superfoods” and how to use them

·    How to happily eat less, get more, and feel WAY better

·    Pathways to heal from Candida and other chronic conditions

·    How to eat for consistent, high-levels of energy

·    Exactly how to keep the immune system super-strong

·    How to eliminate out-of-control cravings

·    Why “The Master Cleanse” is NOT a great choice for most, and what IS

·    How to remove the many liver/gallstones that most of us have, with relative ease

·    How to know which cleanse is for you

·    The single easiest way to remove heavy metals, pesticides, radioactive residues, and other pollutants from the body

 

On the mental and emotional levels we will delve into the finest “transformational technologies.”  These are tools and strategies that skyrocket our progress in becoming the most powerful “masters of our own ship.”  We will learn how to become more conscious and aware than ever.  With that consciousness, we will learn how to de-program the limiting beliefs that have previously gotten in the way of our full expression of Spirit.  And of course we will also learn to re-program ourselves with belief in the power and magnificence of our Spirits.

 Participants will learn:

 

·     The single most effective approach for making lasting change

·    Why it is crucial to release guilt and punishment as vehicles for change

·    De-constructing unnecessary limitations and self-illusions

·    The power and techniques of  goal setting

·    Strategies for success in business

·    How to attract prosperity

·    How to reap benefit from EVERY situation

·    How to create success, free of circumstance

·    The “rhythm replaces strength” leveraging technique

·    The “crowding out” method

·    Mastering visualization

·    Conscious self-reprogramming techniques

·    How to manage disappointment and the occasional “one step back”

·    Creating environments and systems that support success

·    Setting yourself up for success

·    The “like attracts like” pathway to achievement

·    Attending to all levels of the Self in transformation

We will explore the level of Spirit as our most powerful “in” to our own transformation.  (This will be non-religious, non-dogmatic – open to all faiths) This will involve learning to solidly identify with Spirit as our center, and embracing a pure love for our whole Self as the pivotal healing tool of all.  We will work with a variety of tools to open to the flow of our essence and our purpose.  Participants who are interested can augment the work we do in this area with the very powerful Rising Star Healing System. 

 This program is chock-full of the BEST tools on the planet, and is not to be missed!

 For questions about this program, please call Next Level Wellness at (617) 694-6142.  The Light-Warrior Emergence Group will be led by Carrie Mackerwicz, HHC.  See http://www.integrativenutrition.com/graduates/cmackerwicz.aspx?pageid=7 for more information on Carrie.

Groups will be kept small, at a maximum of 8 participants.
