It’s time

Carrie has come to understand, through meditation and conversations with her guide, that it’s time for a big change.  A cleanse at the level that she can tolerate.  What this means is, once this carton of cigarettes is gone in about a week, she starts a cleanse for 7 days.  The conditions:

1.  No caffeine (for the week)

2.  No nicotine (forever)

3.  Minimal processed sugar (for the week, but trying to make it longer)

4.  No meat (for the week, then slowly reintroducing it)

5.  No wheat (only minimal wheat after the week)

6.  No phone calls to family/friends (for the week, because talking to them doesn’t support the changes she needs to make, and also ruins her focus.  they’ll just have to survive for a week without her)
7.  No TV (or minimal tv - not as crucial) (it’s a distraction for her)

8.   No packaged juices (like vitamin water I think) (I think this is a sugar issue, and also breaking the habit of drinking things from disposable containers)
9.  Eat 6 to 7 times a day - fruits and vegetables, rice, beans (keeps the blood sugar up and kickstarts the metabolism I hope)

10.  Take vitamins, doubling up on B vitamins (she needs these anyway, especially with the simpler diet this week)

11.  Meditate

This will last for 7 days.  During this time she needs to sleep as best she can.  If she hasn’t slept for a day she has to meditate for an hour lying down and the guides will help her to sleep because it is crucial that she sleeps.  Otherwise she could have even more seizure problems.

She was told that this is her time.  We don’t know exactly what this will be like, or what will happen after.  However, they expect that it won’t be nearly as bad as she thinks.  She will notice a surge in creativity though, and probably many other things.

I’m going to do my best to do this too.  Granted, it’s easy for me to not eat meat.  I don’t drink coffee or smoke.  And I don’t need soda, so those are easy.  So, I’m going to minimize my time online.  I can’t leave it completely as I have responsibilities online, but I don’t need to waste time looking at other things.   So I’ll get offline and also spend time meditating.  I’m not sure how I’ll do the eating, since I work, but I’m sure we can find something that works.

The best part is that Carrie and I feed off each other.  So, when she’s getting her act together, I get a boost.  If her creativity surges, so does mine.  I’m very excited about this.  We’re moving forward!  It’ll be an interesting week, but this is the fastest way to get to where we’re going, so I don’t mind.  I’ll be sure to blog when I can to explain how things are going.  But I’ll still be working my ass off, so it’s not like I’ll have lots of free time. 

I wonder if this is why I had two random moments of happiness today?  Hmm…I don’t care.  They feel good!
