Fasting Update

[grim23]

The fast is over; it lasted a little over 7 days as I didn't get home until after midnight, since Tim and I went to a bar after class. I drank cranberry juice, and we talked about martial arts philosophy until they closed the bar around us. Upon getting home, I checked in with the BF and left voicemail for the Beloved and the Daimyo.

I broke my fast with a couple of PBJs, and tonight I may go out and celebrate a bit. No problems with digestion, although I have less of a desire to eat and not much desire to drink coffee, although I have had half a cup of coffee this morning.

I'm almost packed and ready to leave tomorrow. I'll leave for the airport at noon, and arrive in Reno at about 10 pm. I'll be back in NC at 10pm on Labor Day, ready for Internship.

Chakra check: Root--100 watts; Sacral--20 watts; Solar Plexus--200 watts; Heart--60 watts; Throat--80 watts; Third Eye--60 watts; Crown--60 watts. They're all open, but not well regulated. Hmmm. I have work to do.

curious to know how you came up with the numbers on the Chakra check. I recommend shiatsu to help with balance--smile big. I wish we could have done Dao yin together--it is performing shiatsu on yourself and very helpful when shiatsu not available. You sound good.

I used, as a baseline, the common 60-watt light bulb, as suggested by Sienna. Shiatsu is a great idea! Unfortunately, my current shiatsu practitioner lives in Marion, OR, and my other massage practitioner lives in Salem, OR, and I'm in Creedmoor, NC. *smile*

I may have to look at massage/energy bodywork when I get back. Thank you for the suggestion!

Give up the coffee--substitute green tea. That is my little opinion. I did this once and it was very cleansing and real.

Thank you for the suggestion; I'm already considering teas instaed of coffee. :>

Heya Grimmers, love the chakra check concept. I think I'll try it. Have a wild and wooly (but safe) Burning Man.

Thanks, I will.

You might want to talk to Sienna about all of the details about chakra work. Just a suggestion. :>
