Good Morning Fellow Fasters!
Today looks promising and I woke up after a night of wonderful dreams. Unfortunately, they were sucked down my dream drain before I hooked them to remember. All I remember is they made me feel good and my eyes opened and the feeling was still there. The sun coming up every morning wakes me. My room has windows on three sides and I really enjoy having the outside be such a part of my life. On the side where my computer is, I can sit and 10-15 feet away is a birdbath which is visited often by birds AND dogs. Mostly birds I am familiar with, bluejays, lots of cardinals and such. Last evening, a red bird with black wings with a gorgeous shade of mustard yellow on the back showed up. I had never seen one like it in my life. I will have to look up birds today since I was totally fascinated with watching her circle the rim of the bath trying to decipher the best way to get to it. Again, another aspect of my reflection theme I was experiencing yesterday.
Today, I peered out at the sun rising from my other window. I could see one of our kitties outside sitting in the kitty lotus position with its front paws tucked in towards its heart chakra. He too was watching the sun come up. I opened my window to speak to him and he turned and said, meooooow, then returned to his own meditating, not even desiring to move. A quick pee, and body brushing while the computer fires up and I say some prayers, tell myself a few focus points for my day, and of course, be thankful.
I have probably been neglecting to share some of the things I have been doing these past few days. Of course, the Salt Water Flush, being sipped now, I have kept up with. I then have done some gentle stretching. Great after sitting anyway. My mornings are a daily dance of coordinated chores to make all the other beings who live with me happy. Birds, dogs, cats. Outside birds get seed and water. Garden water and prayer. If everything is perfect, I am back in the house in time for the SWF activation. My morning ritual finishes with making my lemonade for the day. Cleanup chores and then I am back to relax by my desk with my breakfast bottle of Master Cleanse.
I have been having trouble fitting in everything I had planned to do, so I have implemented a rotation system with my teas. I really enjoy the Cat's Claw tea and Ginseng. I drink a quart at a time. I keep my water in a bottle on my desk on its *purple plate* (the plate is described under my entry, Junk in the Trunk), and I keep a glass just for it on my desktop full during the day so I am compelled to sip it down, fill it up, sip it down some more. You would think I would be feeling water-logged, but yesterday, I noticed I was a little dehydrated!
I have also been including a daily tablespoon of goji juice, a teaspoon of active minerals and vitamins, (to protect my hair) and an ounce of Essiac tea. I have yet to get to my flower essences and tinctures although some drops of Helichrysum Oil at my temples have been a luxury. Its only day 5 so I feel I still have time to do some of the experimentation with these items I had hoped to do. For example, when a headache does come, I would probably try using some Bachs Flower, Rescue Remedy, this time. These items are all liquid and completely within the spirit of the Master Cleanse protocol. Today I am going to definitely begin steeping some of my BF&C tea. That stands for bone, flesh and cartilage. My intent is to support the continuing healing in my right knee. I have been using my bounce chair and have noticed it is getting much better. I hurt it in December and could barely stand on it and walking was painful. I have come a long way but some peanut oil packs rotated with some castor oil packs are in my immediate future. I am a reiki practitioner as well so it gets a loving dose of energy each time I use the throne and my *HealthStep*.
I am continuing my success in keeping up my reading habit. Catalogues count, ggg, but my main read, Anne Rice's, "Christ the Lord", will probably be finished today. I have been taking it outside where I can lay in the hammock with a pillow and surrounded by the earth energy, fresh air, and sunshine. Its hot in Texas, where I am, so I keep my room air-conditioned. In the morning it is nice to open windows on two sides of my room and letting the fresh air suck out the aspirations of the night, but about 11 I close them again to keep the heat from building up.
I live out in the country where I have the luxury of privacy so have the opportunity to go out daily and sun my body. I use the trampoline to thwart the fireants efforts to use me as a food source! I can cloud watch and pray and recharge my *batteries* as my body is warmed and the chi makes me feel like I am in a bath of sunshine. I only sun before 11 or after 1 in the afternoon. I have never gotten a sunburn and have kept this habit up for years.
This week I have been enjoying surfing old files on a computer which has been out of commission for over a year. I just recently got it back and everything was intact. Its a search and recovery/discovery for me, as well as, a flash to the past since the research projects on there are full of info I had been missing, including my first files on fasting I had collected to motivate me in that direction.
Well, time to go begin my throne time and to visit with my birdies who talk and need interaction and have the mentality of a 2-5 year old.
I hope everyone has a great day and finds time in their own day to reflect on the change that the Master Cleanse represents in potential and to consciously embrace releasing all the old *sheet* in their lives, effortlessly and easily!
Journey ON!!
Blessings,
