I have recently discovered a book by Debbie Ford, (founder of the Ford Institute for Transformational Training, called, "The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse". This book, or rather "program", is designed to cleanse the consciousness of the negativity, pain, hurt and "baggage" that we have been dragging around. Many of us are hurt in different ways, from the time we are born. In many cases we carry around negative feelings from the time we were small. In Ms. Ford's book, she brings up the notion that it is impossible for us to completely heal from our pasts by just feeding positive things into us. If the space inside our consciousness is occupied by negativity, positive messages, whether in the form of books that we read or guided meditations, may offer a short-term solution, but won't completely heal us from the hurt that we carry with us. In order to completely heal from those things, we need to clear our consciousness of the negativity, leaving a space for the positive things in our life to occupy.
Over the next 21 days (give or take a few) I am going to attempt to go through the 21 step program to try and free myself from any hurt and negative energy that may occupy my consciousness. I often look at myself as a rather optimistic and upbeat person, but I know that deep down inside, I carry my fair share of baggage, like most people that call this planet "home".
In addition to the activity of going through this Consciousness Cleanse, I am going to attempt to chronicle each day's activity on this blog. I hope it will give you, the reader, an idea of what each of us can do in order to find total inner peace. It's something that very few of us enjoy in our lives, but something that we ALL need. It is my hope that each and every one of us can arrange our lives so that we can find a complete sense of happiness and peace. By doing this, not only will our lives become a more fulfilling experience, but it will help the planet to become a better place to live.
