I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #529 - Healing, Changes, and Shifts in Process - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, January 7, 2024

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've been writing about my need to heal my broken heart quite a lot lately in my posts, and to reintegrate the parts of myself and my life that I've pushed away because of the pain connected with them, which would allow me to return to balance and wholeness. I know how important this is, and I'm putting more attention here, as I feel my resistance to doing so at the same.

Perhaps it's the greater willingness that I seem to have now to face my wounded parts, as well as the greater attention itself that I'm beginning to give them, perhaps even my magical medicinal tea blend that I've been drinking since I made a batch of it a few days ago, but for whatever reason, I can feel something beginning to move around, realign, and shift internally. I've felt this kind of thing before, and it usually precedes great healing, changes, and shifts in myself and my life.

It's a very curious in-between feeling, where I seem to be oscillating back and forth between willing and unwilling, opened and closed, vitalized and deadened, and hopeful and hopeless. I feel new energy and potentials swirling around me, and within me. I still don't really know how significant it is, or where it might lead, but something interesting is definitely happening.

As this inner quickening is continues to unfold, I've been feeling more desire and need move, stretch, condition, train, and strengthen my body, so I've begun to do various somewhat regular exercises as I go through my day. It's still not at the point of being a whole integral practice, but it is certainly a few steps in that direction. It's crazy to me how much a broken heart affects me, and how much I shut down, pull back, and withdraw, because of it, and also how long it take me to heal it. This time seems way more difficult, though, because there were multiple heart breaks that I experienced over the past few years, that all hit me very hard, and from my perspective rather crippled me for quite a while. It feels now like all this layered and tangled heartbreak is slowing beginning to unravel and unwind.

My Sunday yesterday, as pretty much all Sundays have been for a while now, was almost entirely Hive-focused. Along with my usual daily post, tasks, and catching up fully on notifications, I also compiled all the token data for, and then wrote, My 84th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 6,000 HP Surpassed, 2nd Place for SSC Saver of the Year, and an Income Token Removed! post, which I published just before 12:30AM, a bit later than I had hoped. I took some time in my Hiveday to take photos for this post, and make superfood fire coffee, that's about it. I didn't even strain out and blend kefir, since I still had some from the day before, or make food, as between my superfood fire coffee, my magical medicinal tea, and my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, I was good for nutrients.

After publishing my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, I did a short round of token management, then I went to bed just after 12:30AM. I did thankfully sleep well, waking up around 6AM, but I didn't want to rouse myself to activity yet, so I stayed in bed, semi-alseep, until 7AM, when I got up to turn on the gas-powered generator because the solar electrical system had crashed, as happens somewhat regularly in winter. After turning on the generator, I went back to my cozy, warm bed at the Flow House to do another round of token management. Once I finished that, I got out of bed for the last time to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just past 11:45AM, so a great time to end this post, in part because I have a Leadership Council meeting to attend. I also have to get to my afternoon round of Hive essential tasks. After the meeting, and my Hive essentials, I'll go take photos for tomorrow's version of this post, and then land work later. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
