Today we’d like to introduce you to Chantel Robertson.
Chantel, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’ve always been a being of deeper knowledge of the connection and love we are from when I was a child; always seeking more and asking the deeper questions, filled with life, energy, and even entertainment, haha. I absolutely loved to perform and connect with people. If there was a party, I was the life of it!
I was born and raised in a small town outside of Philly, Pennsylvania called Reading and moved down to Fort Lauderdale at the age of 12. I loved it at first! The scenery, the beaches, the weather was like no other and it was completely new to me compared to the lifestyle and energy of PA. That fall when school started, I didn’t take it very well. Immediately started having anxiety/panic attacks, skipping school, and having thoughts of suicide. That guided me to being in institutions, an all-girl program for two years, and having to see multiple therapists and psychiatrists, A young girl experiencing life in a different environment, now being thrown into what she had no idea of what it was.
Fast forward a bit, in my teen years around 15-16, I experienced a few kidney concerns from not consuming water (AT ALL) as well as hormonal concerns. At that time, I was put on medication for it and took medication religiously until 20. When I reached year 18, however, I started my first business venture and it was beautiful but I also experienced the first tumor that showed on my chest in the same instance. I went to the doctor and got it removed. After that, on year 19, I was involved in a car accident that left me on bedrest for a year, barely able to move. I got hip surgery, a few muscles snipped, and my bone shaved down. I had to learn how to walk again since I didn’t have insurance at the time. Over the next three years, I experienced tumors that got bigger in size, multiple high impact car accidents, heart illness, severe anemia, nerve damage, skin illness, brain damage, mental concerns. I was drawing these manifestations to me like a magnet because I was within that state of being, a state of no love for the self.
Throughout all of this, I was aware of a beautiful being named Alfredo Bowman, also known as Dr. Sebi, whose cured multiple “incurable” illnesses. After having worn a heart monitor for a month and being so weak, I couldn’t truly ‘live’, I divinely received payment from one accident I was involved in and went down to his healing village in La Ceiba, Honduras and fasted for a month with nothing but alkaline water, fruit, and herbs. I connected back with myself and allowed for the love of nature to permeate and resonate with this body to bring me back to remembrance. While there, I spent divine time with the family, Sebi’s nephew in particular, in learning and receiving the wisdom of the forest, the wisdom of healing, and the wisdom that Sebi graciously gave his family.
All that I’ve experienced since a child was reversed and am now an embodiment of LOVE! Not the relative love that we’ve been conditioned to believe but a love much more powerful than I. It opened the space for me to connect with the self in ways I’m eternally grateful for and to heal the mind, the things lodged within our subconscious and pain body.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has been a very interesting and one hell of a ride experience. The obstacles of not having anyone there that understood what I was experiencing, enduring this head-on, constantly experiencing ‘hardships’ from childhood years was difficult to grasp. This definitely wasn’t the vision I had when I was younger and wanting to be in movies, a huge fashion designer, and singer, lol.
However, life isn’t an experience of lessons or a set guide on what it’s supposed to be. It’s just a beautiful dance, a beautiful experience of experiencing what we’re not to come back to remembrance of who we are. Just flow on your journey, be unapologetically you, and know that all is aligned divinely with your state of love, state of faith, and state of creation! You got this, the Universe has some huge plans for you!
We’d love to hear more about Upful Blends.
I’ve cultivated a brand and movement called Upful Blends, which provides guidance within the alkaline lifestyle and the African Bio Mineral Balance. I also provide alkaline herbs and blends for the healing of the mind and body inspired by the wisdom and teachings of Dr. Sebi. My mission is to inspire, empower and ignite a movement of growth and remembrance of who we are through consciousness, love, and electrified living. I’m committed to motivating others that alkaline living is our root and we may live an abundant life when conscious in the mind and electric in the body.
