STEP ONE—

HYDRATE!!

When you wake up and start your day, it’s important to remember to hydrate.

Whether you’re looking to—

Cleanse—when you wake up, and before you ingest anything else into your body, have a glass of warm lemon water to help you cleanse out your system. Spirit says—1 lemon slice or ½ a capful of lemon juice, with your choice of room temperature or hot water.

Absorb—water into your body for better hydration, add a spoonful of chia seeds into your mixture of water.

Energize—after, during and/or before a workout – make sure you have some water with a pinch of sea salt for electrolytes. It’ll help provide the body with an extra boost of energy.

Structure—charge your water with energy, by leaving it out or in direct contact with either sunlight/moonlight/crystals, in glass for 8 or more hours.

STEP 2—

STEP 3—

MEDITATE

☆ Find a space free of distraction.

☆ Wear comfortable clothing

☆ Relax into your starting position until your body feels calm.

• Body Awareness—relax by breathing regularly. Then scan your body from head to foot or foot to head and relax any tension that you may notice within your physical form.

Next—

• Start by learning to breathe.
• Begin breathing for 5 minutes.
• Gradually increase your time either daily or weekly, up it at least 30 seconds or 1 minute, at a time, unless you feel you’re able to increase your time by more, start slow.
• When your breathwork reaches 25 minutes start bringing your awareness to your body and start discerning what in your body doesn’t feel right.
• After you’re able to locate what doesn’t belong, make an intuitive decision on what area you’re going to focus on. And, bring your awareness there.
• Start breathing into the area simply by focusing all your attention on the site of pain, discomfort, numbness, or other symptomatic anomaly you are able to discern. Breathe into it!

STEP 4—

DIET/NUTRITION

Masticate, or chew your food into a liquid form, for better digestion and assimilation.

Always eat well. Natural, pure, living nutrition; raw food diet. Think of this whole foods diet you’re out shopping. An alive version of you = alive food. And, as long as your body can handle this, you’ll notice changes with your spiritual practice. But, always listen to your body first! It’ll tell you what it needs & what it doesn’t.
