Today is day 12 on the Journey into the Self!
Spiritual Affirmation
I AM my biggest cheerleader! I AM the champion of my own cause
Mental Exercise
Look at the times you chose to put someone’s feelings ahead of yourself at the sacrifice of your own emotional well being. This behavior looks like it is giving but it is not. It is a ploy of the ego that engages in self abusive behavior to maintain a false belief.
Physical Exercise
Sit with one of the times you chose to give your “self” away and refuse to move until you have a break through. (Sometimes a break through comes after a break down) Journal, sit, meditate and return to this though all day. Constructively use your worry bone to worry this memory until you ca see clearly the truth behind you self deprecating behavior.
Emotional Exercise (The FAST)
Fast from believing that anyone else’s feeling or needs are more important than your own.
Only when we can value ourselves can we really value another.

Day 10
Today is day 10 on the Journey into the Self!
Spiritual Affirmation
I am comfortable in change. I accept uncertainty and the impermanence of life. I live in harmony with it.
Mental Exercise
Be AWARE of what your are feeling, how your are feeling it and where in your body it is. Feeling is not a thinking exercise. If you say I think I feel you have missed the feeling. A good habit (Not While Driving) is to close your eyes and ask yourself when faced with a physical reaction or emotional reaction
1. Where in my body do I feel it?
2. What is it “Really” saying to me?
Physical Exercise
Whatever way you do anything, just for Today do it differently. If it is your habit to drink coffee in the morning and tea at night do the opposite. If you put your pant legs on left then right switch. If you drive down the highway take the street. Try cereal for dinner and Fish for breakfast. Try today to do as many things differently as you can. Become aware when you revert back to your usual way of being. This exercise is an opportunity to find balance in our world and accept its ever changing-ness. The universe is in constant change. There is a divine order and structure to change and a peace in the middle of chaos. In this exercise you are called to be aware in every moment and not fall asleep. Awaken to you.
Order has a function in our life as well as chaos.
Emotional Exercise (The FAST)
I AWAKEN to ME the inner SELF that I AM.
Realize your balance in the midst of change, release resistance, embrace impermanence. Relax let go, surrender to the you who is always centered and connected to the Divine within.

Spiritual Affirmation
In the knowing that I AM forever connected to ALL THAT IS
I ask to be forgiven for all the hurt I have caused
And I know I AM forgiven
I ask to forgive all the hurt I have experienced
And I know I AM forgiving
I ask to forgive myself for all of my failings
And I know I AM forgiveness
(David Tangredi)

Forgiveness is an active exercise into the error of our thinking.
Remember all the wrongs you have done and all the wrongs that have been done to you. Write them all one a sheet of paper in no particular order. Mix them up and write as the thoughts come along. Take the paper, burn it, rip it up and bury it. Let by gone be by gone and let the healing happen now.

Day 6
Today is day 6 on the Journey into the Self!
Spiritual Affirmation
I honor my Physical and Spiritual Heritage.
Mental Exercise
Part of accepting others and yourself exactly as you are comes with accepting and honoring your heritage. We have both a physical heritage and a Spiritual heritage. We cannot honor one without honoring the other because everything done in Spirit is done in matter. What we honor in spirit is honored in matter. Today write down what you know of your ancestral lineage, acknowledge where your roots are.
Physical Exercise
First thing I want you to do is BREATHE! Your breath connects you to Spirit. In your breathing remember you are connected to Spirit and it is from spirit you move and have your being.
NOW here comes the physical exercise. Reach out today to a relative you have been estranged from (TAKE BREATH). This relative may be living or deceased. If the relative is living reach out just say hello and be open for God to guide the rest of the way. If the relative is in the Spirit write a letter or speak out loud your hello and be open for God to guide the rest. (Are you breathing?)
Emotional Exercise (The FAST)
Be willing to allow healing to happen from your experience and to embrace a stronger love for that which you have come from both in the Spirit and in the flesh.
Fast from allowing any unloving thoughts or words to happen between you and family.
(you are always free to journal about your experience)

Day 5
Today is day 5 on the Journey into the Self!
Spiritual Affirmation
Nothing is innately bad. I only do what brings me the results I desire.
Mental Exercise
Carry a small note book or pad, Write down EVERY time you are in judgment.
For some people this might take a minute to realize we are judging. Sometimes judgment looks like “ Oh but I am just calling it like I see it” Our seeing is a matter of our filter system and we do not see correctly. As a southerner often times we soften a blow with the words “bless her heart” or “poor dear” perhaps you might say “God bless them” All of this is meaning well but ask yourself what thought or phrase prompted this statement?
Physical Exercise
Walk into your office, or place of business, home, gym, grocery store wherever and consciously intent to ONLY SEE the good in everyone there.
(Ensure you have your handy dandy writing pad next to you. This exercise just might help you see the opposite)

Day 9
Today is day 9 on the Journey into the Self!
Spiritual Affirmation
In detachment I am a part of everything. I learn to Trust, Live and Move from the inside out!
Mental Exercise & Physical Exercise & Emotional Exercise (The FAST)
Today consciously choose to detach from drama. Turn off all external stimulation (right after you read this) and for the next 24 hrs. DO NOT use or engage any media or electronic device.( TAKE A BREATH) it’s only for 24 hours. I invite you to write down right now what is coming up for you in terms of fear. Resistance, worry or any other emotion. This does not mean we have to be alone. If you have a desire to visit someone why not go over and surprise them, right now. Engage in conscious communication. If you are thinking “I hate when people just show up at my door” journal why this is so. Where have you learned it? What does it mean to you.? How has it served or limited the natural creative expression of spontaneity in you? If you have plans with someone. Show up as you’ve agreed. Why do you feel the need to confirm ? Is it because we are often not honoring our word. Use this day to really see what’s going on all the time in you and is not recognized when our energy is plugged into external sources.

Be gentle with yourself. Do it for an hour, a day, or the next thirteen minutes. Start at a particular time if you like, just DO IT! Whenever you start make sure if you are only setting aside a short time to do it that the time you set aside is mindful and not mindless. Set an intention to be awake and alert to the inner world and your outer experience of it. If you find that you are unable to do it for 24 hours that's ok. Explore what it is that came up for you. Know that there is no wrong or right way to do this journey and no competition.

Day 2
Today is day 2 on the Journey into the Self!

I am determination in action. Everything I set my mind to I complete. When I do not complete something I realize I have set my mind to another thought. I acknowledge this and accept it as an opportunity to realign my mind with Divine Mind again.
Mental Exercise
I will list two things I have set my mind to do and completed. I will look at these to things and find the common denominator. Is it level of commitment, ease of execution, time of day, level of expertise or experience? What made both these things successful in my life? How determined was I to complete it?

Day 1 part 1 Journey into the Self Gaining or Giving Up
13 Day Journey into the Self
Fasting is to refrain from. It does not mean we will not go back to. It is a conscious release for a period of time, sometimes that period lasts a life time and sometimes only for the duration of the fast.
When approached in this way the idea of "giving up", that for some people, automatically implies lack, we can begin to create a new relationship with. When we make a list of everything we think we will be deprived we are putting importance and value on what we desire to release. Why notturn our focus on what we want to gain? When we fast from and Pray for, we are actively engaging our will with the will of Divine Mind.
I want for you what I want for myself. Success! YES! We will be successful on our journey in this fast. Some days will seem like a piece of cake to some and challenging to others. There is no competition, you can not fail. Your success is guaranteed. Your only need is to be willing. Be willing to align your intention with your effort. Trust that spirit will create opportunity for your experience.
Each day will contain exercises that are suggestions for you. You are free to do your own. The exercises posted are only to give you an idea, a starting point in the direction of your inner being and how it is working on your behalf at all times. Even what we name as negative is a working from your spirit on your behalf as a sign to pay attention to something. For some people the assignment may seem silly and to others just the idea of doing something is challenging. I invite you to do it anyway. The assignments will vary in commitment. Don’t give up! Keep trying! Your success is guaranteed.
Todays Affirmation:
I AM success in action!
I CANNOT FAIL.
I AM created from that which created the earth and the stars in the sky
and everything that was and is created comes from it!
It is the power that shook the earth
and that made the winds blow and the rains come
It is that power that makes the oceans swell and the tides receed.
With that power backing me success is my only option!
