Wowzer of a Meditation Class Tonight

Between Tracey and I we packed a lot of movement, stretching, guided meditation, deep breathing, mantras, mudras, and sound healing into one class. We traversed dimensions, we raised our frequencies, we created a sacred space. Great synergy. Terrific students, so warm and receptive. I'm proud to say I had the whole syllabus for the series, hand-outs, tea samples, and brewed tea ready. Of course, we extemporized the meditations instead of relying on ones we wrote, and that's what made them so alive and so much fun.

The following list of no-nos is for my own happiness and peace of mind. Wheat and dairy have been wreaking havoc in my digestive system lately. My metabolism slowed to an alarming rate, because I've been rather sedentary, and eating mostly animal products.

Things I'm saying No To for the Fall:

No more wheat-anything, no exceptions
No more eating ground beef every day. I won't faint from iron deficiency. I can live without large mammals slowly sludging through my digestive tract
No more bacon, it doesn't smell good on my face in the morning.
No more eating past 9pm. Bed-crumbs make my skin itchy.
No more drinking coffee instead of water, all day long.
No more eating because I'm supposed to, when I'm not hungry.
No more eating in the bathroom...
No more eating to make myself feel better.
No more cheese. Okay, I'm not there yet. No more eating cheese on every meal and snack.
No more ice cream. That means no more espresso tequila vanilla ice cream floats.
No more potato chips. They still count if they are soggy from my kid's lunchbox.
No more corn chips, except with nachos...mmm Exceptions are the spice of life...or something like that.

Things I'm saying yes too:

(Sesame seeds in tahini is mood lifting.)
