My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Tips for journal writing Write quickly, allowing the words to freefall from your subconscious. Keep writing. Don’t erase or cross-out any words. If you’re heading in a direction you would rather avoid, start a new paragraph. These accidental forays may be telltale signs for issues you need to address. And erasing just takes more time that you could be using to focus on you. Date each entry in your journal. Note the time, place, and any details regarding your mood and emotions that will be necessary for context when you read back on your work. After you have finished a journal entry, take a walk or get up for a glass of water before you reread your entry, and remember to reread this entry with compassion. Then, write an Insight Line--a sentence or two about what you think the piece is trying to tell you. Sometimes this Insight is as plain as day. Other times, it will take a little reading between the lines. If the subject is a delicate one, there is nothing wrong with putting off re-reading it for a few hours, days, even weeks. Some entries you may not read again at all. The Insight comes from the act of writing itself, the Insight Line simply helps you discover it.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw

Before you dive in head first there is a little bit of emotional and physical preparation that needs to be done first. The first thing that you have to have clear is why you have decided to switch to a low fat raw vegan diet. Relax and think for a few moments. Brainstorm your reasons and motivation below.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw 8 STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING SMART GOALS Setting goals is easy but achieving them isn't. That's why setting "SMART" goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely - is the first step in making your goal a reality. Make your goal as Specific as possible and express it in positive terms. Do you want to stop losing money or do you want to start making money? How much money do you want to make? How do you Measure success? You'll need a way to evaluate your progress and determine if you're moving towards your goal. For example, if you want to improve your finances, then you should have a way of keeping track of income and expenses. Is your goal Achievable? Consider whether you have the resources necessary to achieve your goal. If not, you need to determine if you can assemble everything required to streamline your process. Remove any obstacles before you get started! Realistic goals are achievable goals, unrealistic goals are just dreams. It's not necessary to be negative but take time to honestly evaluate whether you're being realistic. Losing 30 pounds in 2 weeks is not impossible but it's not very likely and certainly not healthy. Make your goal Timely by stating a due date for your goal AND the action steps involved in achieving it. 2. Align your goals with your values. If your goal doesn't reflect your beliefs and character then you'll have difficulty achieving it. And even if you do manage to get what you want, you won't be very happy. Set a goal which is meaningful to you and be clear about the consequences of your outcome. 3. Share your goals with three to five key people. Not everyone needs this strategy with every goal but almost everyone can benefit from it

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw at some point. Finding supportive, positive people is key because you certainly don't need anyone sabotaging your progress. 4. Assemble everything you need before you need it. This prep work is vital in eliminating the frustrating and time consuming "running around" which can derail your progress later on. 5. Minimise potential challenges. There are 3 key ways to prevent overconfidence and poor planning from creating obstacles down the line: 

Create a complete, measurable, action plan which includes all the steps necessary to achieve your goal. Don't forget due dates for each step.



Incorporate all your actions into your schedule. Add them to your calendar with anywhere from 10-20% flextime to help you control any unexpected delays.



Regularly evaluate your progress. You may need to make changes or adjustments as your project takes shape. Anticipate them so you won't get blind-sided.

6. Complete at least one action per day. Consistent actions will propel you towards your goal. Even choosing a small task will make a dent in your to-do list and may motivate you to do even more. 7. Establish a support system. Who or what can provide you with encouragement, advice, healthy feedback or a willing ear? 8. Reward Yourself. Don't wait until you achieve your goal, especially if it's a long-term one. Reward yourself as you reach certain milestones. Something as simple as scheduling time for yourself or perhaps a special treat that you've felt guilty about indulging in can keep you motivated to keep going.

6

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw It’s also very important that you include your goals for the next 30 days (and even further into the future if you like). Use pictures and colours to plan your goals. Next to each goal write how switching to a low fat raw vegan diet will help you achieve them.

7

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw The next thing you will need to do is prepare your physical environment for the next 30 days.

It’s also a good idea to work out a plan that you can follow and stick to. Ask yourself … How many calories does my body need each day? ______ When will I eat? ____________________________________________________________ How will I get my daily exercise? ____________________________________________________________ What will I do if I am tempted by other foods? ____________________________________________________________ How will I explain to others what I am doing? ____________________________________________________________ What will I do if I experience detox symptoms? ____________________________________________________________ When will I journal? ____________________________________________________________

8

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Next step is to do a before entry. How do you feel? What things are you hoping to change over the next 30 days. Write as if this all happened in the past. Include a photo.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Values The following list of values will help you develop a clearer sense of what's most important to you in life. Mark the values which most resonate with you, and then sort your list in order of priority. As you scan the values list below, you may find that while most values have little or no significance to you (and some may even seem negative to you), there are those values that just jump out and call to you, and you feel, "Yes, this value is part of me." This values list is merely a guide. It is lengthy and contains many synonyms but is certainly not exhaustive, so feel free to add unlisted values to your own list as well. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes How do you discover your real purpose in life? I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason why you’re here at all — the very reason you exist. Perhaps you’re a rather nihilistic person who doesn’t believe you have a purpose and that life has no meaning. Doesn’t matter. Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won’t prevent you from tripping. All that a lack of belief will do is make it take longer, so if you’re one of those people, just change the number 20 in the title of this blog entry to 40 (or 60 if you’re really stubborn). Most likely though if you don’t believe you have a purpose, then you probably won’t believe what I’m saying anyway, but even so, what’s the risk of investing an hour just in case? Here’s a story about Bruce Lee which sets the stage for this little exercise. A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. ―The first cup,‖ said Bruce, ―represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.‖ If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all). So how to discover your purpose in life? While there are many ways to do this, some of them fairly involved, here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process, and the more you expect it to work, the faster it will work for you. But not being open to it or having doubts about it or thinking

33

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw it’s an entirely idiotic and meaningless waste of time won’t prevent it from working as long as you stick with it — again, it will just take longer to converge. Here’s what to do: 1. Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster). 2. Write at the top, ―What is my true purpose in life?‖ 3. Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine. 4. Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose. That’s it. It doesn’t matter if you’re a counselor or an engineer or a bodybuilder. To some people this exercise will make perfect sense. To others it will seem utterly stupid. Usually it takes 15-20 minutes to clear your head of all the clutter and the social conditioning about what you think your purpose in life is. The false answers will come from your mind and your memories. But when the true answer finally arrives, it will feel like it’s coming to you from a different source entirely. For those who are very entrenched in low-awareness living, it will take a lot longer to get all the false answers out, possibly more than an hour. But if you persist, after 100 or 200 or maybe even 500 answers, you’ll be struck by the answer that causes you to surge with emotion, the answer that breaks you. If you’ve never done this, it may very well sound silly to you. So let it seem silly, and do it anyway. As you go through this process, some of your answers will be very similar. You may even re-list previous answers. Then you might head off on a new tangent and generate 10-20 more answers along some other theme. And that’s fine. You can list whatever answer pops into your head as long as you just keep writing.

34

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw At some point during the process (typically after about 50-100 answers), you may want to quit and just can’t see it converging. You may feel the urge to get up and make an excuse to do something else. That’s normal. Push past this resistance, and just keep writing. The feeling of resistance will eventually pass. You may also discover a few answers that seem to give you a mini-surge of emotion, but they don’t quite make you cry — they’re just a bit off. Highlight those answers as you go along, so you can come back to them to generate new permutations. Each reflects a piece of your purpose, but individually they aren’t complete. When you start getting these kinds of answers, it just means you’re getting warm. Keep going. It’s important to do this alone and with no interruptions. If you’re a nihilist, then feel free to start with the answer, ―I don’t have a purpose,‖ or ―Life is meaningless,‖ and take it from there. If you keep at it, you’ll still eventually converge. When I did this exercise, it took me about 25 minutes, and I reached my final answer at step 106. Partial pieces of the answer (mini-surges) appeared at steps 17, 39, and 53, and then the bulk of it fell into place and was refined through steps 100-106. I felt the feeling of resistance (wanting to get up and do something else, expecting the process to fail, feeling very impatient and even irritated) around steps 55-60. At step 80 I took a 2-minute break to close my eyes, relax, clear my mind, and to focus on the intention for the answer to come to me — this was helpful as the answers I received after this break began to have greater clarity. Here was my final answer: to live consciously and courageously, to resonate

with love and compassion, to awaken the great spirits within others, and to leave this world in peace.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw When you find your own unique answer to the question of why you’re here, you will feel it resonate with you deeply. The words will seem to have a special energy to you, and you will feel that energy whenever you read them. Discovering your purpose is the easy part. The hard part is keeping it with you on a daily basis and working on yourself to the point where you become that purpose. If you’re inclined to ask why this little process works, just put that question aside until after you’ve successfully completed it. Once you’ve done that, you’ll probably have your own answer to why it works. Most likely if you ask 10 different people why this works (people who’ve successfully completed it), you’ll get 10 different answers, all filtered through their individual belief systems, and each will contain its own reflection of truth. Obviously, this process won’t work if you quit before convergence. I’d guesstimate that 80-90% of people should achieve convergence in less than an hour. If you’re really entrenched in your beliefs and resistant to the process, maybe it will take you 5 sessions and 3 hours, but I suspect that such people will simply quit early (like within the first 15 minutes) or won’t even attempt it at all. But if you’re drawn to read this blog (and haven’t been inclined to ban it from your life yet), then it’s doubtful you fall into this group.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw This exercise will help you define your life values. Review the following list of 374 values to identify those you consider important. As you go through the list, simply delete the ones that don't matter to you, or bold the ones that do. Aim for no more than 15 values on your final list. Finally, sort your list in order of priority, so your most important value is #1, your next most important is #2, and so on. You can use this list to help you make important decisions by asking, "What would a person with these values do in this situation?" When you know what's most important to you, it's easier to make consistent decisions that lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. What is most important to me in life? Abundance

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Law of Attraction The law of attraction is a universal that applies to humans. The law says that which is like unto itself is drawn. Other ways of looking at this law is observable with the following quotes:

What we resist persists. Like attracts like. Birds of a feather flock together. What goes around comes around. Everything in the universe has a vibration. Even thought sends out a vibration that is attractive. We all know that if we want to listen to a radio station at 96.5, we have to tune our radios to that frequency. If we want to attract good things in our lives, we have to have good thoughts, actions and feelings in order to get what we want. The law of attraction operates whether we want it to or not. Whether we want something or don't want a specific thing to occur, each time we put our attention on something we attract what we want or don't want by thinking about it. We can use the law of attraction to our advantage by thinking about things we want through visualization such as a new car or a house. If we can feel what it is like to manifest what we want we are more likely to draw the new car or house to us, as we are vibrating at a compatible frequency. In order to show that thoughts are energy, we will play with energy for a little while. Hold your left hand out as if you are going to do a karate chop. Using your left index finger and without touching the right palm of your hand, pretend you are drawing a circle on your right palm. Pay attention to how your left palm feels. Hopefully you can feel the energy on the palm of your hand as you draw a circle. Please keep in mind the Law of Attraction as you read or do any of the following exercises.

BALLS

OF

LIGHT

THE HAPPINESS EXERCISE

THE V ALENTINE EXERCISE

M ONEY EXERCISE

M AN' S B EST FRIEND

F EELING GOOD M ETER

RELAXATION M ETER

Now imagine green colored balls going through your body, in through your feet and going through all areas of your body, up your legs, through the stomach, and out through your head. Try using different colors of the rainbow and see if it feels different. This exercise demonstrates that thought has energy as you focus on the ball of light traveling through your body. The energy around your body, or aura is measurable. See Dr. Valerie Hunt's website for more details.

Happiness attracts more happiness. Happiness comes from within. You can imagine yellow smiling faces entering your body through your feet moving up your leg. These smiley faces, are playing the drums, skipping rope, doing jumping jacks, playing the guitar, and enjoying life. Some smiling faces are tapping their feet, clapping their hands, and having a party and dancing.

Here is an exercise that will hopefully help you feel and attract love. Instead of smiling faces going through your body, imagine a bunch of hearts entering your body. Now assume that all of these hearts love you They are all going to your heart, healing your heart if necessary, and making you feel good inside. From your heart they go to all other parts of your body giving you hugs and kisses if you want them to. This exercise may even mend a broken heart!

This exercise will help you to attract money to yourself. You might for example, ask the universe for $100,000 remembering that there is enough abundance in the universe for everyone, especially when the law of attraction is applied. This time you will imagine dollar bills entering your body, dancing all the way through. If you try this exercise and it works, remember to be grateful. In fact, think about as many things to be grateful for as you can.

If you like dogs, imagine a bunch of dogs running through body excited to see you. They are licking you in places you want to be licked or not licking you if you don't want to be licked. The main point is that the dogs are excited to see you. Imagine petting all those dogs if you wish.

Tell yourself that you feel 65% good or you can start at whatever percentage you like. Then go up 1 more percentage and tell yourself and the universe that you feel 1 percent better. If not then try to think of something that makes you happier. Then when you are ready go up another percentage point and tell yourself or the universe that you feel say 67% good.

For this exercise you can start at 50% and say 50% relaxed, 51% relaxed, 52% relaxed, 53% relaxed. You may need to tense up some muscles and relax them so you can notice the contrast and relax more easily. Also breathing from your stomach may also help you to relax.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Clustering Background: One of the easiest ways of contacting your Higher Self is a technique called clustering. I learned this in a writing class as a method for overcoming writer's block. The first time I applied this technique to my present life, my Higher Self gave me an answer to a problem that I had been wrestling with on my own without much success. After the clustering, the answer was revealed. Goal: What happens in clustering is that your left brain (the logical, analytical part) is temporarily out of control. This allows your right brain (the intuitive, creative part) to take center stage. When it comes to contacting your Higher Self, your right brain is less protective of you than the left brain is. If you are truly ready, it will allow you to receive direct guidance and information from your Higher Self. Preparation: All you need is a blank piece of paper, a pen or pencil, and a quiet place and time to do this exercise. How to Do This Exercise: 1> Pick a word that is emotionally charged for you. The key is to pick a word that relates to an issue that you are having in your life now. If you cannot think of a word on your own, here are some you can choose from that are bound to unearth some issues:

Afraid, Angry, Betrayed, Damned, Death, Depressed, Desperate, Education, Frustrated, Guilty, Hardship, Hatred, Helpless, Hopeless, Land, Life, Love, Marriage, Money, Outraged, Relationships, Sadness, Sex, Trust, Work 2> Place the word you have chosen in the center of the blank paper and draw a circle around it. Get in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths. Ask the universe to send you the information on your current life that are the root cause(s) of the issue you have selected above. 3> As quickly as you can, open your eyes and draw a line from the circle and write the first word which comes to you next to it. If there is a second word related to the first word, write the second word down and draw a line connecting the words. Then connect a third word to the second word in the same way. 4> When you come to the edge of the page or run out of related words, stop with that word. Go back to the circle and begin with another word. Select the next word and connect it quickly. 5> Repeat the process until the page is filled or until you have run out of word associations. For this to work you must do this as fast as you can. Do NOT think

about it, just let the words flow freely.

Example: The word I choose was "frustrate". In 30 seconds, the following came:

116

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw let go - illusion - fear ------- FRUSTRATED - move on - true path - trust process true security - God - self --- FRUSTRATED - true path - joy - energy - happiness settle debts - reduce pride - FRUSTRATED - betrayed/betrayer - illusion - fear done - lessons - work karma - FRUSTRATED - aware - empathy - compassion move on - let go - false fear - FRUSTRATED - illusion - security - move on Once the above clustering was completed, I took a moment to review the cluster in its' entirety. It took a few minutes but the pattern of the clustering revealed a new perspective on my frustration in my "third dimensional (3D) reality" job. Below is the solution to the clustering puzzle that is shown above. Use the space below to do your own clustering

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Talk to your Inner-self 1. Take some deep, refreshing breaths until you are totally comfortable and relaxed in whatever position you have chosen (it should take you no more than 3 minutes to get comfortable). 2. Close your eyes and envision a large mirror in the screen of your mind. Imagine yourself walking toward the "Mirror of Total Interior Knowledge". You are completely alone: all you see is yourself and the magic mirror. 3. Look into the mirror and see yourself the way you would like to be. This is the you inside yourself who has already attained your ideal situation. 4. Ask this "ideal person" the question "What is keeping me from becoming you?" The answer this person will give you will determine the next question to be asked. Just let the dialog flow. 5. When you have received your answers, open your eyes and quickly jot them down upon a piece of paper. You do not have to record the dialog word for word - just capture the key ideas on a single sheet of paper. Do NOT write for more than 5 minutes - keep it simple and focused on the key issues.

What did your Mirror of total interior knowledge say? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw Letters of Transformation, Changing Relationships For Good Background: All of us at one time or another become "stuck" in unhealthy patterns in our relationships with other people. The "stuck" place is usually buried deep within ourselves somewhere that we are unable to "see". Getting past the "stuck" place is a process of "clearing out" our own "pent up emotions". Dr. Jacob Liberman said this best in his life changing book "Take Off Your Glasses and See": "Other people… may appear to be the source of our unresolved emotional issues, but what we think of as a problem with another person usually has very little to do with them. They are simply external mirrors of our inner experience. Everyone we meet in life offers us the opportunity to see ourselves more clearly - not just our partners, friends, and family but also our bosses, our coworkers, our enemies, our neighbors, and our acquaintances. We project our relationship with ourselves onto other people… It is unresolved emotions… that keep us from being fully present in our relationships…" Resolving these emotions is what moves you past the "stuck" point. Writing letters of transformation is one technique to help you resolve "stuck" emotions so that you can begin to move forward in your life. Goal: The purpose is to move your relationships with others forward WITHOUT seeing or speaking to them. This exercise brings the energy of transformation to your relationship with yourself and others. It allows you to express - once and for all - what you wish to say to the "other person" that you cannot bring yourself to express. It releases that energy of transformation to the universe. Since at the level of pure energy, we are all one, you will feel a change with the "other" person. Preparation: All you need is a lighter, a blank piece of paper, a pen or pencil, and a quiet place and time to do this exercise. See also "Letters of Indignation". How to Do This Exercise: 1> Get into a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths (it should take you no more than 3 minutes to get comfortable).

129

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw 2> Get clear on what it is you wish to write about the person. The purpose is to get down on paper everything you need to say to bring transformation to your relationship with that particular person (it will change one way or the other). 3> The letter can be in any form that can move you from the point of stuckness (usually anger and blame) to a place of movement (usually love and forgiveness). If you feel love does not lie at the end of this process, then take the energetically healthy step of deciding to end the relationship once and for all (see "Letters of Indignation"). If you are "stuck" for something to write, below is an outline that you can use to create this letter of transformation and an example of one from "real life". 4> Write until there is nothing more you have to say. To cover anything you might have forgotten to say, put the words "and Anything Else I Forgot to Say" at the bottom of the page. The point is to put the past down so you can put it behind you. 5> Take the piece of paper containing all this "letter of transformation" and burn it completely. The releases the energy of the intention to the universe. Know that at this moment - at the level of Soul - the person absolutely received your message and completely understood it from your point of view. 6> Close your eyes. Imagine yourself sitting in a chair facing the person you have just sent this transformational energy. Tell them: "I

need things between us to change so that we can move forward together." If there is anything else that you want to say to them, now is your chance. When you are finished, say "Things must change between us - now!" Know that CHANGE will come. Example:

An Actual "Letter of Transformation" from "Real Life": "To a Dear Former Friend with Much Love, "I really did not like it when I was very sick and you did nothing to help me. It made me feel hurt that you were angry that I got sick, even though it was not my fault and there was nothing I could have done to prevent my illness. I felt sad that someone who was a business acquaintance showed me more real sympathy and offered me more real assistance than you who I called 'friend' - did. It clearly showed me that I had not conquered my own fear of others liking me - not for who I was - but for what I could do for them.

131

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw This 'pushed all my buttons' and raised some deeply painful childhood issues. I am sorry that I overreacted to it as I did. I am sorry that I did not call you when I promised. I am sorry that this caused us to drift apart. I forgive you now for ignoring my illness. I understand that your life has not prepared you for reacting well to sickness. I understand that is why you behaved the way you did. For the sake of all the good times we had together, I would like us to be friendly again... but you must understand that your behavior towards me while ill must change. I need sympathy and understanding not anger. If you can do this for me, I know we can still be friends. If not, thank you for all you have shared with me. Know that wherever you travel on your life's path, I always will wish you well and hope you find all the joy you desire.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw 'I AM FREE TO BE...' This morning I woke up feeling tired, cranky and just not myself at all. I proceeded to use my daily morning writing practice to rant about all the noises which surrounded my head instead of the peace my heart was aiming towards valiantly. I frowned listening to the slap of the shoe laces against the morning walker's carefully chosen Nike's. Yes, it had become ridiculous. In the "whining zone itself" the tiniest sound like can become cacophonous. To me, this morning, they sounded thunderous. To top it off, my right upper back and shoulder area have had this knot of tension for the past week or so. It will not leave me alone. It was definitely noticeable as I stood and headed back inside to rally my troops, rightly known as young people who depend on me for sustenance, guidance and plentiful hugs. As I marched down the hallway barking my next round of orders I listened and really heard the nonsense that I was saying. Shaking my head disgustedly I marched myself into my room for a time out. Before flopping on my bed I grabbed my well worn copy of Louise Hay's classic work: "You Can Heal Your Life". Thumbing through the book I looked up my hurting body part "Shoulders. Shoulders.. Shoulders" ...to which Ms. Hay wrote "Are meant to carry joy, not burdens" it said on a chart on page 182. Affirmation.. "I am free to be joyous" I collapsed onto my bed and breathed deeply. Looking at the clock which read 7:18 am I figured, ok, breathe deeply and hold this thought for three minutes, plenty of time left over to complete the morning rush. Breathing in deeply, I thought, "I am FREE to be joyous". Relaxing deeply, allowing the bed to fully support me I held it in my heart and soul, "I am FREE to be JOYous" ohhhh, it was feeling beautifully perfect.. I felt myself melting into the mattress, my breath bringing sustenance to my very core.

138

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw "I AM free to BE joyous" I mean, who really cares if a walker's shoe laces slap against her carefully chosen Nike's? Isn't that a part of the process, of the movement? Ahhhh, "I am free to be joyous".. I opened my eyes blissfully just in time to see a little two year old boy's face with a completely free and joyous expression as he launched himself hurdling onto his centered, peaceful Mommy.. Otherwise known as me. I laughed and shrieked and hugged him tightly when he landed with his heart right on top of mine. "Yes, Sammy..we ARE free to be joyous." Merriam Webster reminds me that to be joyous means to be experiencing, causing, or showing joy. I find it especially remarkable that in my holding the thought and breathing into the feeling I magnetized it within my little child. Both the toddler little child in my arms and the forty one year old one that flows through my veins. Lets try something out here together. "I am free to be....... " what? What are you longing to be free to be? I am free to be whole I am free to be rich I am free to be exceptional I am free to be an artist I am free to be successful in my business I am free to love and be loved I am free to express myself completely

139

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw I am free to paint, to laugh, to....... What is it that you are FREE to do? What intentional act will you create to bring that into being? Just as beloved poet Emily Dickinson said, "I imagine, therefore I belong and am free." I felt free and joyous so that is what I experienced and that is what was Humming through my veins and back out to Samuel, my priceless and precious little boy who mirrored back to me what it really means to him to be free and joyous. Imagine all of these which you have listed here. Allow your mind to freely sprout other areas where you are free and then be those aspects, do that which brings them heartfully to fruition. So be it.

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw THE MAGIC OF WHAT STUCK by Julie Jordan Scott I can't remember the movie, I can't remember the actress, I can't remember what she said and I do remember what she did. She sprayed perfume into the air and then stepped through the falling-likerain perfume as her unique way of applying the scent to her skin. She did this throughout the movie. She sprayed the air and stepped into the sprayed air. I usually spray the perfume directly on my skin. I never thought of doing it any other way until I watched this process unfold on the screen over and over and over. Interesting, isn't it, that nothing else from the movie has stuck with me except that single, magical image? The woman in the movie wanted to smell good so she sprayed the air in front of her body with scent and then stepped into the scent and allowed it to float naturally onto her skin, gently, smoothly and potently. You can try this technique with anything you desire. Yes, you read me right. Here is what I mean. If you want to experience a higher vibration, spray some intentionality into your day. Add some lovingly chosen music, sprinkle some candle light and wonderful fragrance into your surroundings and then step into it. If you want to write an article, simply float a daily writing practice into your schedule. Have the tools ready and waiting for you so that when you begin your day, the natural, gentle, potent stirrings will be for you to meet the page as you greet the day. If you want to attract more positive people into your life, send out more smiles, more confidence, more acknowledgment and gratitude for those positive people you already know and mirror to those who you are attracting exactly what you want. Those who resonate will simply, easily and naturally glide into place all around you. Just like whoever the actress was in whatever the movie was, spray the air and step in. Allow the magic to stick.
