Ridding

Part of my personal blueprint for this month is sauna-ing at least once a week.

I usually sauna on Sundays after I exercise and stretch. 

But I needed some ridding last night.

Obviously, sitting in the sauna makes your sweat and therefore rids your body of toxins.

While my physical body is sweating and ridding itself of toxins, I like to picture my soul and my spirit also being rid of toxins.

I like to do thought work while I'm in there.

Breathing.

Imagining myself breathing in new light and new air and new love, while breathing out all the negative distractions, feelings, emotions, and thoughts.

Sometimes I do this by picturing actual colors.

White entering my body through breath and brown or icky green/yellow being pushed out of my body through my mouth and nose in breath.

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to be in there by myself.

Last night, it was packed with little room for people to sit.

So I just closed my eyes and held my own space.

When I got home and did my personal inventory for the day, I simply wrote in my journal:

"Welp, I'll try again tomorrow!"

I giggled at myself.

My awareness.

My self-grace.

My ability to value the journey rather than the sprint.

And called it a night.
