What If What You've Always Believed Isn't Actually True?

Hey, it's Ronai!

What if something you've believed about yourself for more than 40 years wasn't actually true?

What if something that happened when you were a child shaped the way you saw yourself for the rest of your life?

What if your body remembered something that your mind had almost forgotten?

And what if God was inviting you to question something you've accepted as truth for decades?

Well, grab your favorite drink because I have a story for you!

And believe it or not, it involves mushrooms. LOL!

It All Started When I Was Eight

When I was about eight years old, I remember sitting at the dinner table with a plate of food that had mushrooms in it.

I didn't like mushrooms. I told my dad they made my tummy hurt, so I carefully picked every single mushroom out of my food.

Well, my dad wasn't having any of that!

He told me I had to eat every mushroom I'd picked out.

And I did.

But guess what happened?

I threw up.

Needless to say, my dad never made me eat mushrooms again!

But something else happened that day.

I began to associate mushrooms with getting sick.

And that experience stayed with me for decades.

Looking back now, I wonder how much that one experience shaped my relationship with mushrooms.

After all, I was just a little girl who had told her dad something made her tummy hurt. And when I was forced to eat it anyway, I got sick.

What did that experience teach me?

Mushrooms make me sick.

And for more than 40 years, that became part of my story.

Then Came the Allergy Testing

Fast-forward to when I was about 15 years old.

My mom took me to have allergy testing done.

Now, here's something you need to know about me. I have extremely sensitive skin, and I absolutely HATE needles!

So you can imagine how well that appointment went.

Actually, you don't have to imagine.

I passed out!

The doctor refused to continue the testing, but she told my mom that I had an allergy to mold and fungus.

Somewhere along the way, I connected that information to mushrooms.

And just like that, another piece of my story fell into place.

I believed I was allergic to mushrooms.

Years later, when I was in my 30s, I went through allergy testing again.

This time, I reacted to EVERYTHING.

And when I say everything, I mean everything!

I even reacted to the control test, which was just water.

The conclusion at that appointment was that my skin was hypersensitive, making the results difficult to interpret.

But by then, I'd spent years believing mushrooms were something my body couldn't tolerate.

And honestly, I had plenty of experiences that seemed to prove it.

My Body Had a Story of Its Own

Here's where things get interesting.

For years, I could eat food that had been cooked with mushrooms as long as I picked the actual mushrooms out.

But if I accidentally ate a mushroom?

Oh, my goodness!

My body would react.

Sometimes I would throw up. Other times, I'd have diarrhea.

It wasn't pleasant!

So, naturally, I avoided mushrooms.

And I told everyone I was allergic to them.

Why wouldn't I?

Everything I'd experienced seemed to support that belief.

But recently, I started asking myself a different question.

What if my body wasn't responding to an allergy alone?

What if some of my reactions were connected to that little girl who was forced to eat something she believed would make her sick?

What if the fear, the memory, and the physical experience had become tangled together?

I began to wonder whether I'd been dealing with a learned aversion rather than the allergy I'd always assumed I had.

Now, I want to be clear. I haven't medically confirmed that I don't have a mushroom allergy. Food allergies, intolerances, and learned aversions can sometimes cause overlapping symptoms, and my experiences alone can't tell me which one is responsible.

But questioning my long-held explanation opened a door I hadn't expected.

What If We Could Release What We've Been Carrying?

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with my dear friend LeeAnn Mason.

LeeAnn is an Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code practitioner.

We spent time exploring the experiences and beliefs I had connected to mushrooms.

And during our session, we worked on releasing the emotional weight I associated with those memories.

It was fascinating!

I began looking at those experiences differently.

Instead of simply accepting that mushrooms were something I could never have, I started questioning where that belief had come from.

After our session, I used muscle testing, and the results gave me the confidence to consider trying RISE and REVRS, two Frequense products containing mushroom ingredients.

I realize muscle testing isn't a medically reliable way to diagnose allergies or determine whether a food is safe to consume. And emotional clearing isn't a proven treatment for food allergies.

But here's what made this experience so meaningful to me.

For the first time in decades, I was willing to question a story I'd believed my entire life.

And that got me thinking.

Not just about mushrooms.

But about life.

What If It's Not Just About Mushrooms?

What if the things we've experienced have shaped beliefs that aren't entirely true?

What if someone told you that you weren't smart enough when you were little?

And you believed them.

What if you tried something once, failed, and decided you weren't good at it?

What if someone rejected you, and you started believing you weren't lovable?

What if someone told you that you talked too much, dreamed too big, or were too emotional?

And instead of questioning their words, you made them part of your identity?

What if you've been living according to a story that was written during one painful moment in your life?

Think about that.

One experience.

One conversation.

One disappointment.

One moment when someone else's words became your truth.

And suddenly, years have passed, and you're still living as though that moment defines you.

But what if it doesn't?

What If God Has Been Telling You Something Different?

You know I can't share something like this without bringing God into the conversation!

Because this reminds me of something I've been teaching in my workshops.

We spend so much of our lives allowing our experiences, other people's opinions, and our own fears to tell us who we are.

But what does God say?

Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

And John 8:32 says:

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

I love that!

Because sometimes we don't even realize we're holding on to something that needs to be questioned.

We just assume it's true because we've believed it for so long.

But the length of time you've believed something doesn't automatically make it true.

And just because something happened to you doesn't mean it gets to define you.

Now, I'm not saying we can simply think away every physical condition or painful experience. Our bodies are wonderfully complex, and some things require medical care, counseling, or other support.

But I do believe we can invite God into the process of examining the beliefs we've carried.

We can ask Him to help us recognize the difference between what happened to us and who He created us to be.

Because those are two very different things.

What If You've Been Carrying Something You No Longer Need?

Here's what I've been thinking about lately.

How many times have we said:

"I'm just not good at that."

"I've always been this way."

"I could never do that."

"That's just who I am."

But what if those statements aren't descriptions of who we really are?

What if they're conclusions we reached because of something we experienced?

What if we've spent years protecting ourselves from something that happened a long time ago?

And what if we're ready to look at it differently?

I'm not suggesting that every belief is wrong or that every painful memory can be erased.

But I am suggesting that we give ourselves permission to question the stories that have been limiting us.

Maybe there's something you've avoided because you were embarrassed once.

Maybe there's a dream you stopped pursuing because someone told you it was impossible.

Maybe there's a part of yourself you've kept hidden because someone made you feel like it wasn't acceptable.

What if it's time to reconsider?

And Now, Back to Those Mushrooms!

Okay, friends, here's where this story gets REALLY interesting!

After working with LeeAnn to release some of those old emotional experiences and beliefs, I decided to explore something I never thought would be possible.

Taking products that actually contain mushrooms!

I started taking Frequense REVRS last week, and guess what?

I haven't had a single adverse reaction so far!

Then came RISE.

Now, if you've been following my Frequense journey, you know I've been sharing RISE with others while believing I couldn't take it myself because of my mushroom allergy.

But after more than 40 years of avoiding mushrooms, I decided to try it.

And I recorded that moment!

The video I'm sharing with this blog is the very first time I tried RISE.

And so far? No reaction!

Can you imagine how exciting that is for me?

Now, I want to be clear. I'm sharing my personal experience, not claiming that emotional clearing cured an allergy. I haven't had medical testing to confirm whether I have a true mushroom allergy, and I know that tolerating a product so far doesn't guarantee future reactions won't occur. Given my history of physical reactions, getting an allergist's guidance is important.

But here's what I find so fascinating.

What if the explanation I've believed all these years wasn't the whole story?

What if that little girl sitting at the dinner table more than 40 years ago experienced something that shaped her beliefs for decades?

And what if I can begin looking at that experience differently?

I don't have all the answers yet.

But I am excited about the questions!

Because this journey has become about so much more than mushrooms.

It's about recognizing that sometimes the things we've accepted as truth deserve another look.

And maybe, just maybe, that's where a new chapter begins.

What If There's More to Your Story?

I don't know what your mushrooms are.

Maybe they're an actual food you've avoided.

Maybe they're a fear you've carried.

Maybe they're words someone spoke over you.

Or maybe they're a belief about yourself that you've never stopped to question.

But here's what I want to leave you with today.

Your experiences are part of your story, but they don't have to become your identity.

You are more than what happened to you.

You are more than what someone said about you.

And you are certainly more than the limitations you've placed on yourself.

So today, I'm inviting you to ask yourself one simple question:

What if what I've always believed about myself isn't actually true?

And then take it one step further.

What if God has something different to say?

Because sometimes, before we can embrace something new, we have to be willing to question what we've always believed.

And who knows?

Maybe your next breakthrough will begin with two little words.

What if?

Until next time, keep discovering who God created you to be!
