belonging to an ethnic minority of 300.000 Swedish speaking people
born in Finland. Her family migrated to Sweden when she was four.
She started travelling at an early age and had explored North-East
United States, Europe, Great Britain and Scandinavia before she
migrated to New Zealand in 1992. Although studying at the university,
she still traveled extensively four months a year and explored Australia,
India, Middle East (Egypt, Jordan, Israel) and Canada. In 1997 she
left New Zealand permanently and spent the next two years in spiritual
pursuit through Israel, Turkey, and Southern Africa (South Africa,
Swaziland, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe). She has visited thirty-two
countries and continues to visit Sweden and New Zealand on regular
bases, as well as exploring new parts of the world. Gunilla has
lived in southern California and in Sedona, Arizona, since 1999.
She now lives in North Carolina. History of the Well Being MovementHow the diet was bornI lived in Sedona, Arizona in 1999 and spent a lot of time in meditation and stillness. The last two and half years I had been traveling around India, Africa and the Middle East, neither of these places offered the diet or exercise regime I was accustomed to in New Zealand, and the pounds had slowly crept on. I was overweight and had never been on any kind of cleansing except for water fasts many years ago. I started to get prompts and suggestions from within to get on an extended fast. I decided to listen to the guidance and instead of doing my usual water and fruit juice fast, I started mixing fruit and vegetable drinks in the blender. Not only were they extremely delicious and nourishing, the weight started to fall off rapidly. I could feel myself shrinking and the best thing was that the fat depots that never seemed to want to let go before, vanished. I was so thrilled I kept going. My looks, skin, and eyes, changed within days and people started asking me what I was doing - I looked good. More importantly, I felt good. In fact, I felt better than I could remember. After three weeks I went back to ordinary food but it didn t taste anything like I remembered. It didn't satisfy me anymore, plus I missed the feeling of lightness the diet had provided. After a few days I went back on the diet for another set. It was amazing to be able to eat and drink the foods I love the most, lose weight, look good and feel great. As I was leaving for Sweden, five weeks into the diet, I had lost twenty-five pounds. A couple of days before departure I started to get prompts to offer this diet to other people as well. I wasn't keen on the idea. I realized how much work it entailed, but the thought wouldn't leave my consciousness. I felt like a conduit with messages and information pouring through to the extent of making me nauseous. As I boarded the plane in Denver for the first leg of my journey, the pilot informed us we could expect a lot of turbulence on the route to Detroit. There had been severe tornadoes going across the nation the last few weeks and we would pass through the storms. I had forgotten to take my motion sickness pills the same morning and wasn't thrilled by the announcement. Still bombarded with suggestions of making the diet public, I decided to make a deal. Ok, I would present it to the whole, if, and only if, we would get a smooth flight without any turbulence, all the way to Detroit. I thought I was being really clever. Shortly after take-off the pilot wanted everybody to sit down and buckle up as we approached the storm. We were in the middle of breakfast and would be served the rest later. As people started to get prepared for the turbulence, I visualized angels holding on to the wings of the plane to keep it steady, angels pushing up on the belly of the plane, and angels making the lines of energy in front of us, all smooth and steady. After a few minutes the pilot returned and he sounded surprised and relieved that we didn't experience any turbulence whatsoever. We returned to breakfast but shortly after we were asked to allow for the stewardess to safely sit down again. The whole scenario repeated itself. The pilot sounded more relieved than surprised this time. As we kept approaching our destination this happened several times. The whole time I kept visualizing the angels preparing for a smooth flight. Finally the pilot gave in to his bewilderment and proclaimed: "I don't understand what's going on here! To the right is the worst storm I have ever seen in my twenty years of flying! Every plane in front of us, and behind us, reports severe turbulence and we haven't experienced any turbulence at all." When I got back to Sweden I started compiling the Wellbeing Movement. It started out as a tailor made program and came with an extensive questionnaire and consultation. It was extremely time consuming and luckily I soon realized the similarities in peoples desires and needs, and could make it into one program only. The profit from the Wellbeing Movement will support and maintain various projects for global peace and spiritual awakening.
