~ Not perfect : It's not a perfect recording (dogs, trucks and maybe a cellphone), but it is perfectly where I was during the fast.
I've since worked on and uploaded cleaner a longer and "cleaner" relaxation videos.

Sometimes it is helpful to use a sacred object, or external focal point in meditation, to give the restless monkey mind something to do while the rest of you creates stillness.
In this more advanced meditation practice, the object is held in your minds eye - for instance, you can hold the image of a candle flame or a yin/yang symbol internally as you observe your breath and your thoughts, mindful of what arises. The discipline of this internal focus brings your meditation to deeper places in your mind, creating deeper calm, inner peace and spiritual connection. Duration: 7 min
Contraindications: If you are being treated for any form of depression or mental illness consult your healthcare practitioner before beginning any form of meditation.

My experience with water fasting. I set out to drink only water for 40 days and do a daily vlog recounting it all.

This quick, refreshing pranayama instantly lifts your spirits and clears your mind of negative thoughts and tension. The first portion of this practice is a breathing exercise, followed by a Zen inspired relaxation sequence using small stone to help focus your concentration (you may also use a crystal, bead or other small sacred object). Be sure to chose your object before you begin this practice, so you have it easily at hand. Duration: 8 min
Benefits: release of tension, clarity of mind, fresh perspective and renewed sense of well being
Contraindications: if you are prone to dizziness and/or begin to feel light-headed simply let yourself fall forward into Standing Forward Bend and ease yourself in to Childs Pose and rest.
