Day 2 of Chakra Meditation & Yoga challenge

Image
Although, I vowed to start my 30-day Chakra healing challenge over a week ago, I actually just begun as of yesterday. Therefore, this evening will be day-2. As of now, I'm focusing specifically on my root chakra, next week will be my heart chakra, and the following week will be dedicated to the focus of my crown chakra. The fourth week, in closing, I will focus on all three simultaneously. Currently, I'm practicing during evening and night hours before bed time, however, in a matter of days, I will readjust to the opposite and begin to meditate and practice  during sunrise. I started with a couple of poses and techniques that I came across on YouTube, and I'm very comfortable, and confident in those who I'm learning from at this time. Again, I'm fairly to new to yoga, in fact I know absolutely nothing about it, I meditate for 2 minutes before distractions kicks in, and I'm a baby to chakra system knowledge. Therefore, I am a work in progress, but I b

Learning the Chakra System

Image
Over the past few years, I've been hearing about and coming across information regarding the chakra system by way of the New Age generation on social media and some friends, but as spiritual and as open-minded as I am, I never took the time to do my own individual research. Maybe because I wasn't interested or maybe due to the fact that it simply wasn't my time to evolve into that sector of enlightenment. A couple of days ago, I came across a site that does chakra testing, and so I partook in it just for the hell of it and to see what this craze way is all about. When the results came in, I learned that most of my chakra points are balanced with the exception of my root chakra, and this sent me into research mode.  Now, let's back-up for a second. For beginners like myself, chakras are the major energy/spiritual centers in the human body that starts from the crown of the head to the base of the spine. These major special points in the body affec

13

Image
Early this morning I surfed my way through my private streaming service, Hulu, and Netflix until I came across a documentary title and trailer that sucked me in from the jump. The documentary title is 13 , a film that's directed by Ava Duvernay, the title's origin comes from the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution - which was supposed to be put in place to grant freedom to ALL americans, and it was released in 2016. The film highlights the state of African Americans post civil war, the depiction of people of color post civil war- specifically Black men, the exploitation of the exceptions and loopholes of the 13th Amendment, and the big business of the prison system & the criminal justice industry. The film taps on The Birth of a Nation - a 1915 film that was directed by D.W. Griffith and how it shaped the way race plays out up to this very date by depicting the African-American male as a menace to society and a super-predator. This ultimately in

Ann Petry

Today is February 1, 2018, the first day of Black History month of this year, and I am honored to write and post about an iconic pioneer, who paved the way for many writers of melanin - such as myself. Ann Petry. Ann Petry was born on October 12, 1908 in Old Saybrook Connecticut, and she became the first woman of color  ( Black / Israelite ) to sale over a million copies for a novel. As a novelist and author, Ms Petry broke glass ceilings when she published her book, The Street in 1946.

Clouted Good Deeds

Image
As I was growing up, I've always heard certain people use the phrase of " No Good Deed Goes Unpunished " when making reference to something that backfired as a result of a positive action. Now-a-day, in the age of extreme thirst for fame, and the era of the narcissist, favorable deeds are displayed and blasted all over the web all in the name of clout.  In the beginning, it was reality television that had people going to the extremes for recognition and fame. On any day, one could hit a blog or tabloid, and find paparazzi following infamous people like Jon Gosselin, Snooki, Farrah Abraham, Nene Leakes and many other z-list " celebrities "without substantial cause. Whether they called Paparazzi on themselves, or they were staked out, many of us found it amusing and entertaining on a low-scale. However, at this present time, people are now their very own camera crew and paparazzi. Social media is a gift and it's a curse, it could be us

It's Just Different

As the lyrics to the late Teena Marie Deja Vu lyrics goes... " I'm young and I'm old   I'm rich and I'm poor   I feel like I've been on this earth    many times before Once I was a white Gazelle On horse back riding free Searching in the darkness for a piece of me I can feel this for sure I've been here before I can fell this for sure for sure I've been here before " Humble as a dove and wise as a serpent, I am. Indigo child, perhaps. Sun flare and dust, that I am. An extension of my ancestors, I am. I am all of it, but of all, I have an appreciation for both new age and ancient wisdom. Reincarnated? Who knows. However, my ancestors live in me so zealously that my spirit and my soul's sensitivity level stays on a trillion. This sensitivity pulls the strings to my sensitivity common sense which is why there's things that I will do, and there's just some things that I would NEVER do - Yolo? Is that

Government Shutdown 2018

Image
Friday, January 19, 2018, the Republican party and the Democrats couldn't reach an agreement over a stopgap deal. Though the Republican party pretty much have full control over the White House and Congress, they still managed to allow something like this to happen. The shutdown comes on the anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration. Here's what happens during a Shutdown      - Most nonessential government employees will not report to work on Monday and be placed on Furlough.   -  National Monuments, Museums and Parks will be opened with limitations or closed.   - There will be delays in Visa issues and applications.   - Postal service will run but there will be delays.   - Medicaid and Medicare will not be effected. CHECK YOUR LOCAL STATE'S AGENCIES FOR FURTHER DETAILS ON YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE.

New Moon & Me

Image
At the start of my morning today, I was a ball of energy, motivated for the day and ready for work, so I got busy with a project that I haven't touched in over a year ( another story in itself. ) Without a doubt, I was in a good mood. I felt a sense of inspiration and calmness that I haven't felt in a very long time, and it was truly unexplainable. I figured that I was in bliss and in seven heaven because I actually started working on a project that I once put my heart and soul into so I didn't give it much thought. I was in a great mood after all lol. At some point, I felt an atmospheric shift as well as a change within my own tone and flow. I begun to feel drained - still inspired  but  I felt slightly tired. Then, I received a late notification from this decent Lunar Phase app that I recently downloaded during the previous New Moon, informing me that today would be a new moon. Then everything begun to make sense.  I've always been borderline obsessed wit

The Seven Five

Image
Yesterday was one of those Sundays... I was under the weather, and in and out of cat-naps. I woke up at 2 pm and went to the kitchen to warm up an Everything bagel with Salmon Cream Cheese - Delish ! Okay enough with the food xxx talk. While snacking and I decided to look for something good to dive into on tv. Eventually, I ended up finding a documentary called The Seven Five, and it didn't disappoint one bit.  The Seven Five is a documentary that's approximately close to two hours long - which wasn't an issue for me at all, especially being that it grabbed my attention right away. The streaming service platform that I watched the documentary on acknowledged the film to be presented by All3media in association with Belfor entertainment, and another source cites that Tiller Russel directed it, and Sony Pictures recently purchased. The acknowledgment is out of the way, so let's get it now. The Seven Five is a story based on a ex New York City Police office

I'm Rose. And I'm a Documentary Junkie

Image
I've thought long and hard, and damn near busted my beautiful brains in attempt to remember what exactly turned me out to documentaries and docu-series television yet I can't recollect anything in particular. However, the one thing that I can say that I truly appreciate and value about documentaries and docu-series television is that, it is obligated and mandated to produce and report official and factual events regarding the subject/matter on record. I recollect coming home after school in 3rd grade at an early age to rush through homework just so that I could watch Rescue 911 - a docudrama aired by CBS. Although certain scenes were exaggerated for the sake of dramatization, I was so amazed and intrigued by the reality and rawness of it all at that time. I've always been the type to seek for educational knowledge, stimulation, and wisdom in television as well as everything else in my journey, and I never felt such fulfillment watching fabricated television shows.

Rape by way of Society

Image
Let's start here. RAPE: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. Deception and PROPAGANDA are forms of rape as well - something that we rarely hear about. Deception, and Propaganda are two products of manipulation. This occurs when a person or an entity have an hidden agenda, whether it be personal, business, spiritual, or on a grander scale. Not all rape is sexual. What about mental rape? Every person on Earth has been mentally raped at some point or another. If you own a television, phone, computer, or any media device - you've been a victim as well. Furthermore, if you live under any ruling agency, more than likely you've been force-fed a service, product, or an agenda without a doubt. With all due respec
