THE VANESSA JANE EXPERIMENT: Ok heres something! i am writing this to you late on Thursday night after spending a really lovely evening in the city. I came home on the ferry and for the first time I didnt use my phone to entertain myself, but spent time dreaming, watching the lights on the river and being awed by the size of the moon and the lights. Travelling on the river at night outside in beautiful weather is something special. I want to share something with you, and that is I am going to be leaving Facebook/twitter/instagram/social media etc for a period of time, probably about 14 days. I am doing a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual cleanse. So Im taking a break from my amazingly decadent social life of going out to dinner all the time and eating, and I am doing my own version of green juices and herbal teas etc for that time for the physical part. I am going to go off the grid for 2 weeks, mainly because I see how much time I waste on it and that sometimes its the first thing I do in there morning and I am in cuddling up in bed with my iPhone, iPad and sometimes also my computer at night. Its not healthy for me. I find that I sometimes cannot amuse myself without some piece of technology. I dont like that for myself. Its not realistic to not have any contact when you are in business, but I want to limit it. I will be only checking my email twice a day, and speaking to my clients of course, but apart from that I will not be researching, playing, watching shows, or just generally playing around on any of my technology. its a big deal for me. I need this. I am going to be filling up mind, body and spirit with stuff that inspires me, moves me, educates me and makes me happy. Im going to read more real books, walk and be still. I miss that peace you can feel in the centre of your being, hearing the silence at night, waking up when its dark in the morning and feeling that anticipation of another day. I want to feel that sense of wonderment about life and the world again, I want to feel connected to myself and those around me, I want to be awed by things, and feel all my emotions and feelings deeply. i want to be always and forever led by my heart. Technology, for me, distorts the signal. When you notice that is not the case, its time for a reboot. I want some space from conversations and gossip and dating and who is wearing what or doing or not doing or saying blah, blah, blah. I am what is known as an empath, that is someone who feels deeply the emotions and pain of not only those around them but of the collective energy around them. I can take on so many peoples problems and issues and pains, and also intuitively their motivations and intentions, and this interferes with me. It affects me physically, emotionally, mentaly and spiritually. Its like a radio has interference from its transmission. Empaths are deep feelers and thinkers, which is a beautiful thing, but for me I need sometimes to remove from the interference and reboot, and this is what this is. It makes me feel stronger, more empowered, more intuitive, more beautiful, more connected and more free. It makes me more able to accept my uniqueness, my difference, the way I see the world and less interested or reliant of the world around me to accept me. So if you want me in the next 2 weeks, email at vanessa@vanessajane This is kind of like the experiments Tim Ferriss does, but more internally focused. I just want to see what this experience will do for me. Always love. (I could only tag 20 of my awesome friends, if I havent tagged you its only cause your name is past L in the alphabet)
