Day 7: Finding my Center.

Wow. What a week! I am very pleased with my progress so far. I have not had any major physical changes just yet, but I think I just need to give it a little time. A recurring awareness over the week has been my lack of patience. If only I could become more patient sooner! Awareness is the path and I seem to have an abundance of that, so I am moving in the right direction.

Speaking of awareness, I have an increasing attention on my bodies ability to be balanced. What I have noticed more than anything is that I have very little. Maybe it is my small feet or the myopia in my eyes, but I suspect it comes from a much deeper place. I am a swayer, and while I know this is common of mothers with young children, my swaying memories come way before even pregnancy. I have found I am very uncomfortable standing with both feet planted on the ground. Whether standing or sitting, it feels completely foreign to me to place both feet pointing straight ahead, shoulder width apart. I would much rather sway from one side to the other. Gently shifting left to right - utterly unaware of my center at any given moment.

"What is the problem with this?" you may ask. And my question in return is, how do you remain grounded on one foot? And, if the mind, body and soul are all connected - then how does your physical ability to balance affect balnce in mind and soul? Further, if you are unconscious of your ability to remain stable and centered in your body, what else are you missing in the mind, body, soul connection?

If nothing else, this eating plan has given me the gift of waking up to my body's needs, and being awake in this area has filtered into other dimensions within myself.  To be alive you must be awake and open to each and every moment, this diet has given me the opportunity to be more awake. And for that, I am grateful. I am also grateful to those of you following this journey. To have a witness creates a higher level of reality in my heart. I look forward to documenting the coming weeks together.
