Workbook: My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw

My First 30 Days Low Fat Raw
Workbook
A Gift to you from
www.30 bananasaday.com
Hello and Welcome,

This book is designed to help you with the emotional
transition that you make when switching to a low fat
raw diet.
So you know the theory about 811, its just about putting
it all into practice. The book has been designed so that
you can print it out or fill it in like a computer journal.
Its important that you try to do all the activities to
keep yourself in the right mindset.
If you get stuck along the way remember that 30BAD
are here to help you and support you in any way we
can!
Good Luck and wishing you all the best of fruit!

Tips for journal writing
Write quickly, allowing the words to freefall from your
subconscious.
Keep writing. Dont erase or cross-out any words. If
youre 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.
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.

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

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.

Its 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.

The next thing you will need to do is prepare your
physical environment for the next 30 days.
Its 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?
____________________________________________________________

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.

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.

How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes
How do you discover your real purpose in life? Im not talking about your job,
your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason
why youre here at all the very reason you exist.
Perhaps youre a rather nihilistic person who doesnt believe you have a purpose
and that life has no meaning. Doesnt matter. Not believing that you have a
purpose wont prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity
wont prevent you from tripping. All that a lack of belief will do is make it take
longer, so if youre one of those people, just change the number 20 in the title of
this blog entry to 40 (or 60 if youre really stubborn). Most likely though if you
dont believe you have a purpose, then you probably wont believe what Im
saying anyway, but even so, whats the risk of investing an hour just in case?
Heres 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 youve 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

its an entirely idiotic and meaningless waste of time wont prevent it from
working as long as you stick with it again, it will just take longer to converge.
Heres 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 its 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 doesnt 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.
Thats it. It doesnt matter if youre 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 its 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, youll be struck by the
answer that causes you to surge with emotion, the answer that breaks you. If
youve 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 thats fine. You can list
whatever answer pops into your head as long as you just keep writing.
34

At some point during the process (typically after about 50-100 answers), you may
want to quit and just cant see it converging. You may feel the urge to get up and
make an excuse to do something else. Thats 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 dont quite make you cry theyre 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 arent
complete. When you start getting these kinds of answers, it just means youre
getting warm. Keep going.
Its important to do this alone and with no interruptions. If youre a nihilist, then
feel free to start with the answer, I dont have a purpose, or Life is
meaningless, and take it from there. If you keep at it, youll 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.
35

When you find your own unique answer to the question of why youre 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 youre inclined to ask why this little process works, just put that question aside
until after youve successfully completed it. Once youve done that, youll probably
have your own answer to why it works. Most likely if you ask 10 different people
why this works (people whove successfully completed it), youll get 10 different
answers, all filtered through their individual
belief systems, and each will contain its own reflection of truth.
Obviously, this process wont work if you quit before convergence. Id guesstimate
that 80-90% of people should achieve convergence in less than an hour. If youre
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 wont even attempt it at all. But if youre
drawn to read this blog (and havent been inclined to ban it from your life yet),
then its doubtful you fall into this group.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

Love, (Your Name)
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

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.

'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

"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

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.

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.
