2006-10-24 - 3:28 p.m. Hey everyone. I love you. Okay, on to the details. Today is Day Nine of the Master Cleanse for me. When I first did it this January, I set an intention in my mind to redo it every new year's. Since this year I'll be driving for a week or more at December's end and then spending New Year's eve on the coast of BC with some beautiful friends, probably revelling in much food and drink and dancing, it didn't quite seem like the right time to do it. So I chose to cleanse for Samhain, the pagan new year's celebration, instead, and I'll be coming off the cleanse just in time to drive up to Oregon on Friday the 27th, meet up with some beautiful friends, and celebrate the passing of the seasons and a movement into a new year on Hallowe'en. I'm planning a small ceremony for myself this Wednesday night in preparation, and also to mark my coming off the cleanse. It will be for setting my intentions for the gathering as well as a rebirth into a more conscious and intentional physical existenec. More yoga, less refined food, no meat, no smoking. ... Well, maybe like one cigarette a month. Yeah, that one's going to be really hard to give up. More focus on challenging myself in healthy-for-me ways, and relinquishing roles that I've inherited from my family, my society, my culture and my experiences that are no longer useful to me. I'm thinking of these behaviors in terms of archetypes, and moving more intentionally towards those archetypes with which I genuinely resonate, which I most actively wish to embody. And also being conscious of how these behaviors play out for me in relationship to others, and the ways that may or may not be healthy. Great systemic change on its way.
