the Kirikou Challenge: 2011

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.

My New Vision: Flowers and Wind in Our Hair

With recent offers of a gardening occupation in California, my boyfriend said, "let's just sell everything, liquidate our assets and go!" (Our assets consist of a large screen TV, and....... that large screen TV. And I kinda want to take that with us where ever we go!!!)

In July... Everyday we will

Write Gratitude (1-10 minutes)
We will appreciate and be present (and we will text it to each other)

InVision (5-10 minutes)
We will add to visual vision boards, write vision free writes, and create the vision that will pave the rest of our lives (in texts, emails, blog posts, etc.)

Be Mindful (10-20 minutes)
We will meditate every morning for 10-20 minutes and let that mindfulness resonate throughout the rest of the day (and text, email, or blog each other a short - or long reflection)

Be in our bodies (10-90 minutes)

We will do something physical, even just a mindful savasana. (We text, email, or blog each other what that something is)

Nourish (10-90 minutes)
We will use food, water, and tea to nourish our selves, ground ourselves, balance our selves, and cleanse and heal ourselves (We will document this when moved or inspired)

Just do it (10-90 minutes)
We will do one thing (We will document this when moved or inspired)
