Mental Cleansing Diet

WOW, what a wonderful weekend retreat filled with meditation and insightful Q&As! Thank you to all who were able to attend and to those who joined us in spirit.

During one of our lectures, we did a reading that many of you requested we post so you can “do your homework”! Well, here it is…

Experience the benefits of a mental cleansing diet. An ordinary diet is a regulated selection of foods. A “mental diet” is a regulated selection of mental attitudes and thoughts. For one week, cultivate an optimistic mental outlook by expecting the best possible outcome for everything you do and for all emerging events. Creatively imagine your near and distant future circumstances as being harmonious and satisfying. Creative imagining produces and attracts corresponding events and circumstances. Uncontrolled imagining is fantasy. Avoid being judgmental or opinionated. Renounce anxiety and worry. One way to regulate mental attitudes and thoughts is to be aware of what you say and how you say it. Speak with conscious intention. Renounce gossip and superficial or meaningless talking. How you habitually talk reveals your mental states and states of consciousness. When you have experienced the positive results of a seven-day mental diet, permanently adopt it.

This is an affirmational practice: Read this excerpt out loud several times throughout your day to really feel yourself becoming it, get into it, and enact the changes of your “homework.”

We forget the first person we need to show love, kindness, respect, and gratitude for is ourselves. Now, go do your homework and change your life!

Blessings on your journey.
