Day 2: Playing with Receiving

Yesterday we made a list of all the healthiest foods and drinks to focus on consuming...blessing our food before ingesting it and slowing down to fully savor it. Each day, we will be looking at a new angle of Deliberate Ingestion, including everything from the food we eat and air we breathe to the energies we notice and emotional responses we have to our experiencing.

Today, try playing with your food as well as any energies that come your way...decide how you want to take things in...with laughter or irritation? Slowly or in a rush? Savoring or barely noticing the sensations? Decide to be in a deliberate receiving mode and slow down more than usual to decide HOW you want to be in the experience before undertaking any task or taking in any sensory information. Set your intention for relaxation, bliss, pleasure, peace, love, joy...whatever makes you feel the best.

Play with your breathing...savoring the air as you take it in. Try playing with light as you focus and relax your eyes and look around for beauty to appreciate. Try playing with the sounds you take in and try listening to different kinds of music and notice how it makes you feel.

Today is a day of play...of deliberate noticing and selective receiving, so have fun!
