Elements of the Kirikou Day

MEDITATION; atleast 15-35 (or more) minutes a day. Practices may vary, but the core intentions: mindfulness, reconnecting with Source, empowerment over and detachment & relief from the mind.

INTENTIONAL MANIFESTATION; Set aside a moment of time to focus on elements one wants to manifest in her/his life. This may be in the form of a vision board, Abraham Hicks' "workshop," or script writing. It is paramount to feel the feeling it will feel when these things manifest. Be the vibration of the manifestations (not the lack or distance from them).

GRATITUDE; Make lists in the morning and evening. List the things you are grateful for in one's life. Really dig in, taste it, milk it, savor it.

GET PHYSICAL; Engage in a physical activity; the kind that turns you on. Trail run, yoga sesh, surf. BE in ones body.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU FEELING HAPPY; No argument, need to be right, thing not going your way, point to be proved, not anything, not one thing is worth loosing your alignment with the vibration of the life you want, of Jah. NOTHING is more important that you feeling GOOD. Collect a bag of tricks to get you back to happy - rampage of appreciation, prana, gratitude, focus wheels, virtual reality, a playlist, yoga, lists of positive attributes of your object of intense hatred, an embodiment of your hero, smile, random karma, etc.

Present Moment Wisdom


Whatever the present moment contains accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it--not against it.

Looking forward to seeing artist Jim Drain at Art Basel

I'm so loving Jim Drain and his large scale knitted sculptures. I can't believe I'm actually going to get to see his art and him in action in his studio at Art Basel Miami 2010 (this Friday). Sweet.



Jim Drain is a multifaceted artist whose current medium is knitting and felting sculptures...



“The heart of his art is knitting. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998, Drain started using a friend’s knitting machine and found the meditative repetition pleasant and the results oddly suited to what he wanted to say: hard messages couched in softness.”
(Boston Globe)


Jim Drain on Knitting...
“I learned to knit actually I cheat and use a knitting machine which is still manual but not as portable as two needles or two fingers; anyway, that was in 2000 and I am still knitting like there is no tomorrow, I guess. It is a technology I suppose and it has taken me weird places (seeing clothing differently, seeing production and craft and work/time differently). Knitting is like painting, looking at the shelf, you never know how the colors are going to work together- in pattern, in texture, after being washed or fluffed or felted.”
