Week 1: Baseline & Preamble
Here we go! There is a lot of material front loaded into the Week 1 Course. This is meant to provide all available options for optimizing your healing as quickly as possible. There is no need to feel overwhelmed or rushed. It's a menu for improving your health and quality of life. Choose what makes sense to you first. Then begin exploring new options. To begin, here's where I would start: With breath. When we aren't able to breathe 100%, we feel it with every inhale and exhale. Struggling to breathe makes hunger and thirst look like lung filled vacations. To improve our lung function, we've got three areas to focus on: Breathing Exercises~ How we actually breathe in and out. The amount of oxygen we're getting to our brain is like a spigot we can consciously turn on anytime we choose to bring our focus back to our breath. Air Cleaning Plants ~ The air we breathe is filled with invisible, unhealthy nonsense we want to bring some plants in to handle for us. Specifically focusing on the bedroom and living room where we sleep and where we spend the most time. Snake Plant aka Mother in Law's Tongue produces oxygen at night, and so it is our number one choice for bedroom plants. English Ivy is great for everything from mold spores to dog poop. And Aloe Vera is another low maintenance option with powerful air cleaning potential. The suggestion is one fully grown healthy plant per 100sqft of floor area. Feel free to add more, especially because juvenile plants will produce significantly less clean air than fully grown plants. After we've got our breath figured out and we're feeling good moment to moment, we can extend our enhancement focus towards our next element after Air: Water: There's actually a lot we can do with water. It really depends how much effort we want to invest into our daily habits. We are developing meditative rituals for our regenerated, healthy versions of ourselves. Creating tedious chores for ourselves is not the goal. Just be honest with yourself about your energy levels and how you're feeling.
