\nAtma – my divine host and teacher – remembers
\nthat I\u2019m lactose intolerant, so we start the day by making organic almond milk.
\nThe process essentially involves soaking a cup of almonds in water over night –
\nthe longer the almonds are soaked, the creamier the milk will be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWe grind the soaked almonds in a heavy duty blender
\nwith 3 cups of fresh water, vanilla powder and dates to give it natural sweetness
\nbefore throwing the entire mixture into a fine sift and strain out the liquid
\nbefore we pour it all over a bowl of pawpaw, mango and apricot smoothie with spirulina, yummy! <\/span>We devour our portions as I rave about Atma\u2019s
\nability to “make things happen”.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBreathing exercises next, followed by deep
\nconversations as I go through my second jug of water to accelerate the detox
\nprocess.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a>I spend the rest of the afternoon reading and
\nwalking around the garden until lunch time when we have our green juice (apple,
\nlemon, celery, mint and cucumber). Still too full to eat anything else!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe rest of the day is dedicated to
\nreflecting, journaling and reading some more – nothing hectic. My body is at a complete
\nrelaxation state so I just sit back and let my mind freely wonder as I enjoy
\nthe Barrydale mountainous views.<\/span>  <\/span>I even
\ntake notice of the ants on the ground.<\/span>  <\/span>I
\ncan\u2019t see the birds but I can hear them chirping.<\/span>  <\/span>I must have been so peaceful because I
\nliterally dozed off!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
