There’s no one I know who isn’t going through some major changes in their lives right now. Both personal and political/societal. Each informs and impacts the other.
At these times, I dive even deeper into my daily practices.
I typically pull one oracle card each morning and meditate on what the card initially says to me (without reading what is in the corresponding book until after I’ve already felt into it).
I then practice my yoga, qi gong or both, and take a walk outside in the fresh air.
This grounds me in my body and helps me start my day. This mind, body and spirit connection is a practice that steadies me, whether I do one or all of these practices in a day.
These days I am leaning more into, not only self-care but into receiving nurture, care, support and comfort from others. I realize, now more than ever, that I do need others and that I can be vulnerable with the people with whom it is safe to do that.
For someone like me, who was raised to be independent, but to prioritize others’ feelings, emotions and comfort over my own, this has been quite challenging, although not impossible.
Today is a new day, and I’m up for the task of living my right life and no longer sacrificing myself for the collective. I am finding the balance in being interdependent with others and well-resourced, in my own skin so that I can be of service from an overflowing cup.
I am giving others the opportunity to practice stepping up to their tasks, rather than me falling into the habit of doing it for them. Recognizing that, my taking over can take away others’ agency and their ability to problem solve for themselves.
When I prioritize my own health and wellness I get to be more collaborative with others, rather than co-dependent.
In that vein, as I prioritize myself, my wellbeing and my passion, I am ready to concentrate on creating some new Black Girl Tantra community offerings.
Therefore, I will not be accepting new “individual” or “couple” clients at this time. I feel grateful to have an abundance of clients and opportunities at this time.
If you have been on the fence about becoming a client and feel called to become one, feel free to reach out before the end of the week, to be added to my waitlist.
Looking forward to showing you what’s cooking soon.
