The Mindful Detox -Setting of Intentions

"If you know better, do better." ...I am TRYING!

Lately, I have ingested a great deal of new substances, both mentally and physically. Though most of the substance is nourishing, I find it tremendously important to take the time to detox and archive the newly received materials, otherwise, all good things received floats around with no perspective. New information needs to be archived correctly.

My mindful detox will focus on my body, the vessel and my mind, the creative center.
The vessel will be introduced to a fasting period.
I met a girl on a plane ride recently that referred me to a book called, "The Longevity Study," In this book, the author studies many indigenuous tribes around the world who typically live past 100 years old.
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 in this condition and eventually die. This is of course, in a normal healthy human.
I will also abstain from smoking weed and drinking alcohol.
I will practice abstinence.
No make up, only my skincare.
Will drink plenty water
Take daily herbal supplements
Survive on fruit juices and nuts

The focus on my mind would be to watch the thoughts I create. The same girl I met on the plane told me, "the universe can't decipher between, 'I do,' or 'I don't.'" With an optimally functioning vessel, I am certain my mind will be able to tap into the universal knowledge bank of the universe and I will be closer to understanding how to tap into stored knowledge in the world. I aim to find a state that most strive to achieve, like how Buddha attained Nirvana. As I understand the laws of Astrophysics that govern the universe, the meaning of life becomes clearer and clearer.

Now that my intentions are set, there has to be the logistics of the fast, "THE PREP."
The prep is an outline of how long the fast will last, a rough meal plan, the herbal supplements needed for my body, a rough outline of all my days during that period. It is vital to have an outline to keep the discipline and focus.

Stay tuned. If you plan to do this Mindful Detox, I suggest that you cater it to you and your body's need in this timeline of YOUR life. We are all in different phases of our growth and development. I encourage you to learn about your body and tap into the knowledge of how to take care of your own existence because we already have this knowledge. Only YOU can feel what is right or wrong for YOU.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls- would also like to include all Beings with consciousness, I present to you, the most indulgent Vegan cookies on planet Steffane. I am sorry, I can't speak for other planets.  I am picky eater and I know I can't be the only one, and since my blog is meant to help at least one person, let's hope this post does it. About my palette:  I come from the Caribbean, I can stop here, but allow me to elaborate. The country that I was born in is made up of 6 ethnic groups; East Indians, Africans, Portuguese, Chinese, Amerindians (indigenous people), and Europeans. As a result, we have a very diverse cuisine that has blended over the years into the most magical array of dishes imaginable. Long story short, I know taste, bitter, spicy, tart, sweet, you name it darling. Ok, without further ado: Best Vegan Cookie # 1:  Alternative Baking Company's Double Chocolate Decadence Cookie I didn't want to include descriptions as I ha...

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...
