The Mindful Detox, Phase One -The Crib

Don't neglect the importance of tending to your nearby surroundings.
Even non-living objects can hoard energy. Clean your space, get rid of that which does not bring you joy. Feeling joy in your surroundings will come in handy when you need the support to tear away from this societal construct. I know not every one of us is fortunate enough to have a home that is safe or peaceful or quiet. I urge you to make one place in your surroundings feel happy. You deserve it. Give yourself the love and support. You deserve it.
Tonight, I will be focusing on my living room. It needs a little decluttering, dusting and my yoga mat and meditation center should be the only two things on the floor.
Tomorrow, I am doing kitchen, laundry, bathroom and bedroom. I will get my candles going, my diffuser will have my favorite essential oils.
Smell is important to me in my home.
My grandma has a sign in her home that reads, "cleanliness is next to godliness." and I now understand what that means.
The next post will be more about the body detox.

She told me how important fasting was, she said that normal cells, when starved will go into a state of hibernation to preserve itself, abnormal cells are not capable of doing this. The abnormal cells then struggles to survive i...

Sinking into Meditation

I was looking to write a short story, that was fun and light and revolved around a Caribbean upbringing, which is still to come at some point in the near future. I am also in Yoga Teacher Training and part of the meditation syllabus is to have a daily meditation practice. To aid my story, I decided to meditate to recover memories from a day in my childhood. I sank into a seated posture, I prepped my physical space to begin meditating. I closed my eyes, deep breath in, deep long breath out.  I am scanning my memory bank in a brand new experience, I haven’t tried this before. I am struggling. I am recalling repetitive activities, but a full day is not coming to mind.  I see a few images of myself, as if I am the observer. I see the day some of my hair was burnt because I was sitting on the structure that my grandpa’s ashes were stored in. It was a concrete block with an urn in the center, it was tiled on the top and every afternoon at sunset or before, m...
