KWANZAA AFTER DARK: DAY 3

Image

Habari gani?  This is the question you ask your family, friends, and community at the beginning of each day of Kwanzaa.  In the language kiswahili, it translates to “What’s the news?” 

Your response is simply whatever day of Kwanzaa it is.  So this morning, you responded: “Ujima!”  Tomorrow you respond “Ujamaa!”

P.S. Divide and conquer has been a very useful tactic in taking from people of Afrikan descent.  We can fight this!  Let the circle be unbroken.  Fix yourself, so that we can all be together.  I’m in my healing flow, you know?

Healing Flow

Could she be speaking of someone she loves or is she speaking to herself?  You decide.

Remember, you can only experience the healing flow when you truly desire to tell the truth about yourself.  Who are you?  Focus on the reflection you see when you look into the mirror.  Your eyes tell everything.  Breathe. Set yourself free.

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned,

6 Fantastically Appealing Women 2019

Image

These days I am very mindful of the things I consume.  I have sensitive eyes, ears, and tastes.  My heart is seeking purity at the highest level.  With an open spirit, I attract great energy and truth.  In my world, this intelligence knows no boundaries.  With each person I come into contact with, I find a positive vibration, even in the darkest of hearts and even when it’s hard to see from behind the masks that we all wear.  I find the duality in all things.  There are lessons to be learned.  Everyone is a teacher.  Allow the light into your life!

Meditate (to think, to ponder, to fix attention) on this powerful feminine persuasion…

Modern day proverbs and thoughts by Shila Iris

Thank you for visiting.

The morning after…

Image

The morning after you break free
When the message inside of you resounds
When you’ve been alone and listening
and practicing and chanting and hopping frequencies
and traveling thru alternate dimensions
and seeing numbers and symbols and signs
and meditating and discovering rituals

and the veil falls…

And the Sun appears
and you synthesize with the intelligent,
confident and gentle, ego-less, playful, divine masculine
and you summon the spirits
And your ancestors march in legions
from the east, the south, the west, and the north,
towards your light

When as above is so below

When you unMask
And the answers reveal themselves
When eyes that once were hazy become clear
and your femininity is a wave, a hurricane, an infinite power
and your wild woman flows, unharnessed
repelling and attracting

“The morning after I went into myself and pulled out the cancer,
the pain, the disharmony, and became,
a healer
With my own mind, and my own hands I, 
am the all seeing
the high being…”

When the blindfold falls
And you see yourself
and love yourself
and love yourself
and love yourself
but it’s something even deeper
I hear my voice
This is my choice
This is my life
timeless,
I know the Way
