Is anybody listening out there?

I don't even know where to begin...several friends have told me that I should write a book sharing all of my experiences.

BUT...

to be honest, isn't that what social media is? Sharing our experiences in real time..that is. And if #socialmedia is a present-day sharing tool, why would people who don't even know I exist there----(yes, I consistently post, authentically, blah blah...the list of social media tips 🙄) be remotely interested in reading about my past experiences?

Basically - if you're not connecting with me now, what's to say you're gonna connect with past versions of me?

AND...

I have already self-published a very raw book of poetry, (available on Amazon), which has tremendous relatability (I was told). I am not complaining about #socialmedia.

I have posted ads.

I've listened to the tips.

I have upgraded content et al. and it just seems to be a reflection of what is actually happening in real life....real time.

Is anybody listening out there?

Grandmother Earth is screaming in agony, because she is in pain and sick.

Is anybody listening out there?

#Climatechange, environmental catastrophes, oceanic pollution, #globalwarming, fires, floods, hurricanes?

Is anybody listening out there?

Constant filters, outward obsession on looks, material gain, artificial stimulation, materialism, consumerism, overpopulation?

Cue Rag 'N' Bone Man's " Human" -

I'm only human after all, don't put your blame on me."

The world, through my lens, right now...feels extremely divisive.

The approach towards the desire for change is 100% felt and is also responsible for the division from my perspective. The approach* towards change and shifting from outdated antiquated systems and policies will take time and absolutely happen. However, the division is in the approach.* Let me be clear. It's as if we are in a collective time of "war vs. peace" approaches. What comes to mind, for me, is Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Both had a similar vision for black justice and equal rights, but the approach was vastly different.

My calling is to nurture others through #movement workshops, #soundbaths, #meditation, #Yoga, and my latest launch..... 21 DAY Mental Makeover: Nervous System Reset.

I am gravely concerned for the #mentalwellness of humanity. Yogis believe that our external environment is a reflection of the inner personal environment. If the external is sick, there is sickness within us as humans as well. Covid, from the Yogic and Spiritual perspectives, shows this theory, as the pandemic served as the worldwide "wake-up call." We must, thus, address our mental, emotional, and spiritual states, which manifests in our physical bodies, as anxiety, depression, cancer, dis-ease.

We have seen an increase in devastation, since the beginning of the pandemic. While ceasing global production for a few* months might have cleared the atmosphere momentarily, brought the dolphins back to Venice and New York's East River, we cannot ignore the HYPER-ACTIVE increase of pent-up, (what I liken to, "Black Friday Energy") the world has been receiving since travel bans were lifted!😳

⚡️WARNING✨

The increased amount of rage, anger, trauma, and depression, that has needed healthy outlets is astronomical. And while, many memes attempt to acknowledge some unhealthy outlets (drinking, binging, increased drug use, et al.) not enough is being done to draw awareness to the serious mental health crisis we are facing as a species. Many of us are still collectively looking towards outdated "tools" to heal the FRESHLY NEW TRAUMA (#freshnewtrauma) we must all individually address, take responsibility for, and... HEAL. That's right folks, we ALL have our own version of how this pandemic has affected us. Every. Single. Human, who has survived Covid, so far, has fresh trauma....plus, we each have our own previous baggage of #Karma to unpack.

NOW....Is anybody listening out there?

GREAT!

Now that I have your attention....let's see if we can get on the same page.

Listen, my approach to healing, dealing, and simply managing life in 2021 means that #SELFCARE is* my "job." We have a saying back home (in Trinidad):

Dead man can't work.

Having survived 2 near-death experiences, which have been a contributing factor to my already heightened senses of perception, I can assure you I certainly do not want to pass anytime soon. This does not mean however, that I have not and do not experience the very lowest of lows. Thankfully, my life's purpose has dedicated me to the pursuit of balance.

If it's one thing that is for certain, health is our wealth. Until this perception becomes the number one factor that we focus on for human elevation, we are doomed.

The internal environment must be in alignment, #BALANCE, in order for our outward environment to reflect that harmony. This is the only thing we have agency over....is taking care of, #healing, and balancing our #mental, #emotional, #spiritual, and #physical states of being.We have gone astray from nature, and since we are comprised of the 5 great elements (The Maha Bhutas - earth, water, fire, air, and space), when nature is out of balance, so are we and vice versa. This is where we can ALL step onto a clean slate.

21 Day Mental Makeover: Nervous System Reset

The stillness of movement leads to the presence of alignment. Mind, spirit, and physical architecture become one - NB.

It takes 21 days to create a new habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle shift. This 21 day step-by-step digital program provides tools from

• yoga science,

• psychology exercises,

• thought provoking questions,

• daily meditations and

• positive affirmations

to transform your very essence and reset the cognitive mind. When we transform our perceptions, we create room for balance, alignment, and vitality to thrive in our lives. Think of this as a 3 week "Intro to Self-Mastery" program.

Alignment invites reintegration. Reintegration invokes balance. Balance increases vitality. If you are feeling increased: - stress - anxiety - fear - shame - doubt - rigidity - image/body-dismorphia - lethargy - and more.... These conditions, believe it or not, were probably already there pre-pandemic.

We truly do have agency to wipe the slate clean, pick ourselves up from the pain and sorrow, the fragments of unknowns, layered with hope, gratitude, and prayers of all kinds and sizes.

The fact is, we are all in this together...and we can thrive... but it is gonna to require some really deep personal work. Aren't you ready for your own Freedom?

Oh and hey...

Thanks for "listening", dear reader.

xo,
