40 days (and 40 nights)

When I started this blog it was mainly to share my experience during my upcoming 40 days to Personal Revolution workshop. This workshop is based on Baron Baptiste’s book of the same title and is meant to shift your attention from everything else to yoga, meditation and a cleansing diet for the length of 40 days. “Why forty days? Because the number 40 holds tremendous spiritual significance in the realm of transformation. Jesus wandered in the desert for forty days in order to experience purification and come to a greater understanding of himself and his mission. Moses and his people traveled through the desert for forty years before arriving at their home in the holy land. Noah preserved the sacredness of life by sailing his ark for forty days and forty nights. According to the Kabbalah, the ancient Jewish mystical text, it takes forty days to ingrain any new way of being into our system, and that is what we are aiming to do here: wipe out the old and welcome the new. In forty days, you can shift into a whole new way of living and being” (Baptiste).

May I just add that I have, how do they say it, "fallen off the bandwagon" for the past two weeks, so this is officially square one. For 40 days I will practice yoga everyday, meditate twice a day and follow my ayurvedic food plan. Tomorrow is Day 1.
