Spiritual Practice

I was recently invited to join a meditation workshop. I have been getting the message from varied sources that it is time to set up a dedicated spiritual practice. I have dabbled in meditation and other spiritually inspirational stuffs for many years but never a dedicated ritual of practice. At this workshop we were invited to engage in a 21-day meditation. I signed the contract and began. I set up a sacred space, got out my candles, sage, white shimmery cloth and found some soothing music. The benefit of this small 10-25 minute practice is exactly what I was told it would be and more. It does something to my whole day. I believe that it assists my consciousness to stay awake and present. The practice is providing an amazing amount of patience and clarity as I go through my daily journey. I am not a walking Zen poster, however, I am evolving into a more peaceful and kind Erica and that is a blessing, for everyone in my life - I a sure. Today is day number 13 in the 21-day meditation challenge, I have a feeling I won't be stopping at day 21.

Also, I recently finished a 12 day juice cleanse. I have never in my life gone 12 whole friggin' days with out chewing and eating food! I was initially inspired by the movie, 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead'. That was well over a year ago. I have been building up the balls to go forward with a cleansing juice fast and well, I did it! My next goal is a 30-day. It may take me another year, probably less, but I'm gonna do it!

The power of thought is positively life altering. Meditation, visualization and disciplining my thoughts, and even feelings is, fucking awesome!

The manifestation and demonstration of the best life possible is happening in every moment. I just have to remember to keep my EGO out of the damn way to experience it.

I have been listening to Eckhart, Deepak, Oprah, Iyanla, etc... for so many years and yet, I never heard them so deeply until now. The spiritual revolution has begun and I'm jumping joyfully on the mutha fuckin' horse. Yee Haw - Bitches!

Much Love Y'all!
