Sunday 2/3/13 Day #1:Doing a 14 Day Challenge of tuning in to my Inner Wisdom and to how I relate to food.

Sunday how symbolic that I start this challenge on Sunday. But instead of trying to find the connection to Source outside of myself, I will attempt to tune in by meditating for at least 10 minutes at a time, and by writing everyday in my journal as I want to tune in to my Inner Wisdom. When I eat, I will eat in a mindful way. I will tune into my body through daily deliberate extended movement. Yesterday was very hard for me food wise and cold wise and it is a reminder for me to recommit to…See More

Benefits thus far on this newbie's journey: forehead rash disappeared thus far

I am not sure if this is just a mental habit or if this a physiological issue. I made some wild rice and warmed it up to get something I know would get me through the day. My mom is from south america and my favorite meal was rice and banana when I was a child, so you can say I am going to an old familiar dish for…
