Hey, Love

This week we bring you a very special edition of Self-Care Sunday, as we welcome New York based writer, Branden Janese. Janese submits a powerful piece on self-love offering an energetic meditation on the work we do around self-love and self-care. Lose yourself In the Sweet Hubbub, below.

In the Sweet Hubbub 

to love yourself you gotta scream

you gotta scream: scram! at your dolor, hold an asana for the divine until the old blood matures into nectar

you gotta scream at yourself: I forgive you!

scream like Chaka in the seventies with the funk on the ceiling

let it out, let it go, flow

celebrate your moves both titanic and toy with weighty screams

scream while you masturbate scream when you orgasm

at love scream: I’m ready!

scream: it’s okay when it ain't looking lively

scream for your ancestors whose mouths went mute in fear of the whip

edit your screams- delete gossip replace foul phrases with honeyed words of flattery

scream scriptures: aum, shanti, shanti shanti

scream at God. every morning scream: God, gimme the plan!
