Have an easy day. You are fasting so your body will want to conserve energy. Honour that. I find it helpful to do some simple chores before setting up my space like washing the dishes or de-cluttering a drawer. You may want to have a nap in the afternoon.
When you are ready set up the space you have chosen for with your warm blankets. Make sure you have enough pillows. Put your water and tissues close to hand, have a bucket nearby and set up your technology. TIP : during a journey sound is often amplified so make sure the sound is soft but still audible.
If you are in South Africa last minute loadshedding is always a possibility. Make sure all your devices are fully charged beforehand. Download the playlist so that you donโt have to rely on the internet to hear the music.
Put your candles out on a safe surface with matches or a lighter. I always like to set up a small tray in front of my candles for my sacrament.
Have a warm shower before your journey begins. Dress in comfortable layers. If you are using a hot water bottle now is the time to make it and put it under those warm blankets.
After the Zoom call in the evening you will be ready to light your candles and turn off your main lights, switch on the playlist, take the sacrament and then settle into your space.
Be gentle with yourself and let go โ allow Soma to work with you.
