Day One and I already feel overwhelmed. Guess this is why Ganesha came into my dreams recently to remind me that obstacles will be presented no matter how much planning I did to prepare for the 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse.  It's now 10:19pm and I'm tired but I also feel I need to post something on my blog as I promised.  So here goes......

Here are a few notes from the live call tonight with Debbie Ford:

• Break free from the bondage of the past.
• Most people get lazy and give up after three days of any new beginning.
• Know that this is what you want to do!
• Become the greatest expression of who we are.
• What would it feel like to be in the presence of your soul. How would it shift you or change you? (POWERFUL!!) 
• Allow your awareness to float in like a feather, what is your soul's highest desire?

After a few questions from the participants I realize that many are needing to find the path back to their soul's true life path.  According to Debbie Ford, "Your soul's desires are with you at birth like a hidden treasure chest of possibilities for you to discover as you grow and evolve into the person you were meant to be. Yet before you can harness this powerful force, you must give voice to what you long for in the deepest place in your heart."  Debbie continues to tell the callers to let go of the ego and the mind chatter.  Quiet the mind and truly listen to your soul.  I hear a few of the callers wanting Debbie to tell them what their soul is calling for or they question what their desire is. I love how she turns it around to have them ask the question directly to their soul just as if they were in the presence of their soul. It reminds me of The Work by Byron Katie. For instance, if you are divorced and feel you were not loved or that your marriage was a lie, do you TRULY believe this?

Some callers were concerned with committing an hour or more each day to the daily work. Debbie suggested journaling a few minutes before the call when it's quiet and your with self.  My personal experience has been to read the next day's pages before going to bed but not doing any of the work. Much like preparing your schedule or setting the alarm for the next day. You are more apt to follow through with something that you have prepared for the night before. The next morning you can read over the pages again and work through the questions. However, I will admit I did not read the first days pages the night before. I will not make excuses as life and family came before me, which is one of the things that I'm working on through this process.

My desire list:

• To nourish my soul and give to myself.
• Make healthier choices with my eating habits.
• Commit to an exercise program.
• Accept that it's fine to say no or excuse myself from a project.

This morning my spiritual flame was a seven, even after 5 hours of sleep, but this evening it's maybe a four.  I need to work on the exercises in the morning instead of late in the evening. With that being said, my intention is to ignite my spiritual flame each morning with the 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse. I will have to give up staying up late at night working which is fine by me and I KNOW my soul wants that!!  My healing mantra for now is, GO TO BED!  HA thought you might like that one!
Till tomorrow, Day Two and yes I will read day two before going to sleep. Hey maybe my intuitive friends and spiritual guides will help me do the exercises while I sleep.
