The Gift of a Snow Day

I am so grateful today for this "snow day" we are having here in Cincinnati. My Thursday cleansing participants were supposed to start today, but we've postponed to next week. I know they were eager to start, so I feel a little bad about it, but there is divine timing to everything...especially a Spiritual cleanse.


Because I knew they were excited, I sent them things to start doing this week to jumpstart the program. As I wrote some simple things to try, it made me realize that everyone should start doing some of these simple things. What else do you have to do? Your not going anywhere.


Snowed In:
Create a sacred space for meditation. Cover the TV with a blanket. Clear the clutter out of your bedroom, bring in your favorite comfy chair, pillow or pad. Set up a little altar with pictures of your loved ones and your family. Place a yummy candle on your altar. Drape a favorite shawl or blanket over the chair. Sit down. Close your eyes. Repeat daily.


Clean out your pantry. Throw dated items away. If it isn't organic or whole, place it up high, give it to the food pantry or toss. Commit to buying only organic and whole processed foods.


Get the clutter out of your house....the knick knacks, the extra pillows...Put them in boxes and store them. You can bring them back out as your distracted mind settles.


Find a yoga studio online within 5 miles of your work or home. Study the schedule. Make a plan so that you can get to one or two classes a week.


Google vegetarian, vegan and organic restaurants. Print out directions and maps to where they are.


Download your kindle with spiritual books, self-help books and poetry.


Go through your magazines and tear out pictures that inspire you. Tape them in your journal and write about why you like the picture...places you want to go, things you'd like to have and emotions you'd like to feel.


Play in the snow.
