7 Steps to Healing Stress & Emotions
that Affect Digestive Dysfunction

Sometimes it’s not so easy to love your guts.

They can seem to have a mind of their own. No matter how hard you try to do right by them, they’re still not happy. Sometimes they seem downright rebellious!

Indigestion, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea – why do they keep behaving this way? Pretty soon you just want to douse them in chocolate sauce and put them on permanent ignore.

There’s just one problem with that. They really do steer the vessel. They really can put a kink in your plans – and for that matter, your whole lifestyle!

So much of your life is centered around foods. You need foods! Foods can be your friends. You need a healthy digestive systems in order to obtain the goodness from your foods. And you also need your system to “behave properly” while you’re out and about so you can carry on with your business of the day.

But when our digestive systems do not function properly, or when they become a ball of stressed out tension, foods can become a weapon. We use foods to try to put out the intestinal fires, or throw a food blanket over the confusing turmoil that’s rumbling down there. We don’t care what it takes, we just keep throwing stuff at it until we can’t hear it screaming at us any more.

And thus begins the vicious cycle…

…more foods…poor digestion…can’t sleep…
…elevating stress…more foods…poor digestion…
…can’t sleep…elevating stress…more foods…

It’s like sailing a ship on stormy seas…

Have you ever been sailing in a storm? Or maybe you’ve seen it in the movies?

When the storm comes, you know you have some “issues” to deal with. There’s going a be a little extra stress on your boat! Your boat can be tossed about and really shake up what’s on deck and what’s below.

So what does your boat need to weather this storm? Hmmm… Let’s see…

• Things are flying about down below, maybe the ships needs more fuel?
• Or if I cover the portals, I won’t see the storm and I won’t feel a thing.
• Maybe if I just ignore it, it won’t have any effect on the ship at all.

Chances are when this storm passes, you’re going to be a bit worse for wear. But with your powers of denial, you’ll continue on as if everything is just fine until the ship starts to break down or take on water.

But what can you do in a storm? You have no control over the weather, right?

In fact, there are ways to secure your vessel in a storm.

• You can learn what to watch for so you know when to take cover or drop the anchor and what do to when you get caught by surprise.
• When you learn the safety techniques and get a little experience with the tricks of the trade, you can weather the storms and minimize the damage to the ship, even if the storms come up by surprise.
• Plus you can learn tips for maintaining the ship so it’s better prepared to navigate the seas.
• And if you really get to know your vessel, you can become one with her, know her every need and every turn and sail smoothly together through all of life’s journeys.

Your human body is your soul’s vessel

Your human body is the ship of your soul, and you are the captain of this magnificent vessel.

In order to fully relate to your ship, you must develop an intimate listening relationship

• with your body – inside and out,
• with your heart – both emotional and spiritual,
• and with your mind – not just the mind in your head, but also the mind in your gut!

Develop a loving relationship with your guts

You will learn The CAREFOR Connection 7 Steps to Transformational Healing for releasing stress and healing emotions, old memories and unsupportive belief patterns that aggravate digestive dysfunction.

You can experience Love that is always there for you, and You can “Love Your Guts” no matter what is happening in your world.

Hi! I’m Debra Graugnard.

Thirty years ago, I struggled with ulcerative colitis, fibrocystic disease and hypoglycemia. After starting the standard treatments which treated only symptoms and offered no hope of a cure, I embarked on a journey of natural holistic healing. Cleansing, juicing, fasting and spiritual healing all helped to bring my life into balance and restore my body, heart and spirit to health beyond what I had ever known to be possible.

My personal journey was incredibly rich and culminated in the understanding that our bodies are sacred vessels for the divine spirit and love. The body is designed to heal itself and the healing process includes body, mind, heart and spirit. And with the journey of healing and wholeness, connected to divine source, we experience joy. It is my passion to support others to heal their bodies, hearts, minds and spirits and to have immeasurable joy along the way! I invite you to join me for this life-changing program.

Here’s what the course contains:

I Love My Guts is a multi-disciplinary program that provides you with a rich learning experience.
Classes are conducted in small groups to provide individual support and foster safety and trust.
You will receive

• Introductory webinar with learning modules to familiarize you with the practice of Heart-Centered Meditation and the CAREFOR Connection 7 Steps to Transformational Healing.
• 8 teachings with video, audio, PDF and guided exercises that you can return to and review as often as you like.
• 10 90-minute weekly teleconferences to share your experiences with the week’s teachings; Q&A; get to the bowels of the healing process and work with it with my support and guidance.
• A private online forum for member sharing.
• 2 individual, private check-in calls with me during the 10-week program to answer your questions and help you understand the material.

BONUS #1: Teleclass: Listening to Your Body through the Ear of Your Heart
Learn what it means to listen to your body through your heart, the seat of divine compassion and love. Discover the difference between mental perception and heart understanding. Experience your heart connection with the Essence of the Divine and view yourself with love, compassion, acceptance and safety.

 
BONUS #2: Live Teleclass: Healing Shame
This live teleclass will take your small group on a journey of healing shame. The nature of shame is to hide, and healing this elusive energy can be tricky. However, left alone it can wreak havoc on your system. Learn to release the judgments that you hold that keep energies of shame locked in your body. Connect with Divine healing qualities to return these hidden parts of yourself into wholeness with your inner heart. This class will be scheduled according to group availability during the 10-week program.

 
PREMIUM VERSION:
Making significant changes in your life and promoting healing for your soft vulnerable underbelly is a deep process that can benefit from extra support. Sign up for the PREMIUM version of I Love My Guts and you will also receive 3 personal healing sessions with me during the 10-week program.

To get the most from this program, plan to spend 3-5 hours each week.

• 30-60 minutes in webinars
• 60-90 minutes in LIVE Class
• about 1 hour working with your partner (optional)
• Heart-Centered Meditation and journaling, at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week
• If you sign up for the PREMIUM version, 3 one-hour personal healing sessions with me during the 10-week timeframe.

This might sound like a big time commitment, but let me explain why I’m using this format.
In previous courses, much of the time on live calls was spent covering the teachings, i.e. listening to me talk. While we did have demos, group participation and healings, participants reported that they would have liked more time for the personal pieces.

I can understand why, and I totally agree. I would much rather you review the teachings at a time that is convenient for you, let them percolate and think about your questions. Then when we come together, you’ve got our whole class time for questions, practical application and guided group process. Given that the program is limited to a small group, you will have lots of time for personal guidance.

I’m very excited to be offering this format!!
 

What past participants have said about I Love My Guts:

“Debra’s class [I Love My Guts] is a gateway to loving yourself to health and freedom. She teaches a step-by-step method that brought new and unexpected awareness to my impulsive eating. Disgust and embarrassment transformed to joyful loving acceptance. I have a new appreciation for my body and have a completely different self-talk dialog. The best part is that this method is something that can be applied to any difficult and uncomfortable life situation. I can be as free as I choose to be!”

~ Laurie B., Austin, TX

“I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how grateful I am to have participated in your group [I Love My Guts]. I received so much. My belly issues have decreased to a much lesser degree! I feel like I’m making better food choices and am more “in tune” with my body’s needs. I love the process and the way it gives each part its due. I really appreciated having time on the last call to travel as a group. This format was so rich and deep for me. Thanks for all your giving.”

~ Jennifer P., Austin, TX

“I can’t say enough about ‘I Love My Guts.’ Debra Graugnard not only brings together a wealth of knowledge about the digestive system, but imparts great wisdom and understanding on how to get to the roots of bodily and spiritual discomfort.

“As someone who’s never taken this kind of course before, I was uncertain and a bit skeptical at first. A class about the body via the telephone? But it couldn’t have been more right for what my heart and my body were needing. The webinars, classes, and guided meditations have been invaluable in helping heal some very complicated and longstanding issues at the core of my being. For those who truly yearn for insight and healing, “I Love My Guts” will change your life.”

~Tom P., Seattle, WA
