Day 14: The Practice (Consciousness Cleanse, Ford)

    To begin to cleanse our soul's and reconnect to spirit, room needs to be made for this new way of thinking.  The first week Debbie helps us to dive into our past and clean it up.  She says that in order for new thinking to come in there needs to be room.  Therefore, old thinking needs to be cleaned up. This cleanse will develop and strengthen your innate capacity to elevate yourself out of any stressful situation, "whether it's a hurtful exchange with a loved one, a difficult circumstance at work, or a horrible act of violence that takes place in your world."  You will be able to navigate your way out of the darkness and into the light of your higher self says Debbie.  In the end of the cleanse you will be able to sustain healthy thoughts, loving feelings, brilliant ideas and unlimited possibilities.  I like that!
   Please prepare for this cleanse as a time just for you.  A time to reflect and be honest with yourself.  To start, begin noticing what IS going right in your life instead of what isn't.  Whenever I get caught up in my emotions and am back in a calm state (more connected to my higher self) I wonder what happened to my connection to my highest self.  Why was I so distant from the person I want to be?  I want to be kind and loving at all times.  Rational and calm when things get rough.  Debbie says that this cleanse will connect us with our higher selves and will bring peace into every situation.  Preparation is key before starting this journey.  Time set aside in the next 21 days is important, to journal and to reflect.  I just bought a brand new journal.  I encourage you to do the same.  She also recommends a personal prayer such as the serenity prayer to say everyday before you begin the day's work:

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
