9.19.19 6:19am . How I'm walking into the hospital for #transfusionday in a few hrs 💃😏 Not really (Doubled over in pain at the moment...The show/life must go on!), but this does make me smile. . #GrandRising! . Reposted from @spiritualblackgirls (@get_regrann) - ☁✨ Style has a profound meaning to Black Americans. If we can’t drive, we will invent walks and the world will envy the dexterity of our feet. If we can’t have ham, we will boil chitterlings; if we are given rotten peaches, we will make cobblers; if given scraps, we will make quilts; take away our drums, and we will clap our hands. We prove the human spirit will prevail. We will take what we have to make what we need. We need confidence in our knowledge of who we are. 🕯 #NikkiGiovanni ✨☁ 📷 REPOSTING because someone commented credits for us on the previous upload!

So part of my #growth is to step outta my 🦀#crabshell ♋ & #share some of my everyday experiences living with #SickleCell. Multiple traumas can stagnate & unconsciously fill you with fear. There was a time where #SickleCellAwareness & advocacy played a large role in my #life. I'd go to every Sickle Cell event, meeting, & walk-a-thon, but somewhere down the line I unconsciously allowed the back to back traumatic experiences suppress my #Spirit. As a result, I isolated myself. Literally closed myself away...Hid myself away with the window curtains drawn. My #ego couldn't #accept all the #health crises, surgeries, & instability. I felt like there was no point in sharing my story because I was in such a dark place and I didn't have a positive word for anybody. . I've worked hard to pull myself up out of the deep well of depression & #feel it's time to be the #SickleCellAdvocate #Ifeel #Iam. Letting go of resistance & negative thought patterns gives space to #allowing what is while working towards #elevating. Perpetually #healing! . #GoodMorning, it's #TransfusionDay! #SickleCellWarrior

Thurs 3.5.20 8;44am . So I reached out for help from a community service company I used to work for in my 20's (Humbling) They're coming to pick me up for my blood transfusion. It's weird. It'll be the 1st time in 20yrs I won't hear someone complaining about not wanting to be obligated in what needs to be done for my health or yelling/blaming anything about their life on me. I took it for so long bc deep down my core belief was "I'm a burden" so hearing it repeatedly kept me in that same shame & guilt cycle I subconsciously felt since before him & would do anything to please him as a result of it (It was never enough). But that's what master manipulators do (His family member's term for him way before I could see it...Had to feel the 🔥 1st) They can see your insecurities & magnify them over & over til it traps you in that negative belief about yourself. Doing things solely for myself feels weird & liberating at the same time. 🐌👣 . #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #Denialisahellofadrug #SickleCellWarrior #TransfusionDay .

Reposted from @healersofthelight - In today’s world, meditation is just a trend, a symbol of status. Unfortunately, this confuses future generations and leaves them with no tools to experience self awareness.⠀ ⠀ Please realize that the desacralization of such important process and of many others, such as #yoga, #education, #marriage, #eating with #purpose, #medicine, etc. is a perfectly engineered and premeditated act to cloud your consciousness.⠀ ⠀ The only door that gives you access to #universal consciousness is the state of awareness. And if these paths are destroyed you will never experience your true self and you will #live as an empty shell.⠀ ⠀ Unawareness makes you an easy target for domination and the perfect consumer for all the paraphernalia of material irrelevance that is being sold to you and forced in your plate every day.⠀ ⠀ Defeat the invisible forces of unconsciousness. Experience awareness, don’t give in for the commercialized versions of these #sacred entities.⠀ ⠀ Find within yourself the #guidance that you need. Even when something comes disguised as a good #intention, and especially if your body craves it, ask yourself, is this action my true self? And reflect on it for a few minutes.⠀ ⠀ Your #true #self and all it’s forms of expression don’t make you feel cravings, don’t make you addicted, they make you #feel #peace, like the peace you feel when you arrive home.⠀ ⠀ #awareness #consciousness #healersofthelight #trueself #ego #healing #universe #universalconsciousness #meditation #meditationtechniques https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEzkWPHiNU/?igshid=1vmx6voobh5ol
