Love isn’t as natural as it once was to attract, or so it seems. Millennials have changed what it means to be in a relationship and define yourself as an individual. Honestly, our parents didn’t prepare us for attracting relationships and creating a connection on the Internet.
Read MoreIn transition, we must allow ourselves to be reflective of the changes we need to make to make our pathway easier. I find that so many people cling to what is negative in hopes that the light they seek will shine on them and thereby illuminate their situation. And, it can give you clarity but when you think about generations of discord, and not being intentional for the next generation, it’s hard to sit still and expect levity.
The words empathy, intuition, and spirituality are all utilized very loosely, and it's akin to the nature of all worldly things in that to truly become something, you somehow need to own it. This idea is the premise of how modern-day society was developed. Access ultimately means ownership; this is why spiritual enthusiasts are desperate for true masters of spirituality to make it relatable and applicable to their daily lives
Read MoreTarot can be helpful if you understand it. One aspect people are not clear on is the difference between the metaphysical and the spiritual, this is where the false start with tarot begins. This distinction is important because although tarot can be placed under the umbrella of spiritual practice; it depends on how you prepare yourself and the cards for the reading that determines the nature of the practice.
Read MoreThe truth lives in all of us because we are descendants of the divine. We have allowed our egos to skew and diminish our soul truths, for we must be fully connected to remember. When we are incarnate, we suffer each lifetime and get farther and farther away from the truth.
Read MoreThese characteristics of the feminine and the masculine merely exist within all of us. Again, it is the energy we assign to our circumstances that determines our life experiences' outcome. The Divine Feminine aspect does not create alignment in the higher consciousness; it does the opposite because when you require control, there will be no point of surrender.
Are you connected to soul purpose? Or are you living for the passion that is making you money? Even if you think you have already started walking powerfully in your purpose, it is the mindset of the nonstop grind that is keeping you from fully realizing your authentic soul purpose.
Read MoreMercury Retrograde should not trigger survival but balance and openness. Mercury Retrograde offers a unique period several times a year to be open-hearted, not realigning our foundation. Though we are not balanced as individuals generally, we often default to survival mode in times of stress, delay, and forced to face our daily instability and insecurities.
I believe soul purpose is accessible in every stage of our lives. Though we think we have to spend time finding it, it's always hanging out in the background, waiting for us to accept the terms of our respective soul agreements. Soul agreements are the agreements, the terms of your divine nature.
Read MoreHow open have you been to your journey? In what aspect have you rejected the start of your journey out of fear, out of contemplation? This, too, is a part of gradualism.
Read More“A lot of resistance lives in the emotion of fear. Fear of loss, fear of losing favor with others, fear of rejection, fear of not being included, fear of eternal singledom, but are these fears real, or simply what we believe to be true? Our thoughts and emotions guide our actions. But, when we realize we are stuck, we innately blame. It’s always someone else.”
Read MoreI think we need better conversations around loss-- not just conversations about how to cope but also how to live and show up for ourselves again fully. Especially in these mind blowing times where most everyone you know has been personally affected by death. Coping to me is existing in spite of the void. I want to find a way to feel full inside like I did before.
Today, we have bought into our otherness and are eager to erase it. We erase it in our egotistical pursuit and acceptance of all things Eurocentric. Even as Africanity rises and the diaspora is now present and accounted for in the leaders we aspire to be, we shrink our values and remain disconnected from our truth -- the truth.
Jessamyn is giving us all the permission slip that we have been desperate for---to take up space in the world, no matter what room you find yourself in. The journey to vulnerability is often hard, we lose connection with our voice because at every turn there is someone there trying to force their ego onto us.
Read MoreThis is ultimately why Stacey Abrams sits where she does today, and not as the first black woman president of the United States. Stacey Abrams is a dark-skinned, full-figured, gap-toothed, natural-haired black woman. There was no seat at any table at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave that would have her as a permanent resident.
Read MoreMany of the women that I meet and work with within my practice seek love. That's part of the draw to the spiritual journey, the dissatisfaction they feel in their lives. It is a clear sign of awakening. It was the very same thing I experienced right before really taking a serious look at myself and moving forward with spiritual guidance.
Read MoreOur youth is often filled with distraction, and we become so separate from our soul's essence that we lose our way. Our environments teach us that our experiences are typical and that spirituality and the universal can wait. It is a brief dabbling in the woo woo, or perhaps even something unnecessary.
The first stages of awakening represent a state of emptiness or unhappiness and then subtle shifts in perception before the soul begins to seek answers and deeper meaning. However, many souls get stuck, unable to move forward without the ability to trust or to stay in balance.
You know, it’s hard to believe in your dreams, imagine what you can become when it has never been a part of your reality. I knew that what I wanted was a long shot, and the world reinforced that it was just plain ol’ impossible. Until the day that I saw that image of Shirley Chisholm and heard her name. She was like a beacon out in the ocean -- a lighthouse calling me home.
Read MoreI was standing while watching him take his oath, almost as if I was taking it with him. I was so in awe of what he had accomplished. I cried and prayed as I stood there. I kept worrying about him being killed. I prayed they wouldn’t kill him. As happy I was for him, for me, for us, I was afraid to get attached to the idea that he was really the president because I feared it would be over too soon.
