Hi friends! We are still on a break from our regular recording schedule, but I'll randomly be updating you and bringing you some encouragement and hope through mediations, poetry, or whatever else I decide. Angela and I have been working on some changes for the podcast and we can't wait to share them with you soon. 

Today I share with you a few poems from the poet, Morgan Harper Nichols. I hope they bring you some encouragement despite all the shit going on in the World.  

Don't step in the shit! 

Hi there! There's been so much shit going on and we haven't been able to record! A few key points I cover in the short recording:

- Black Lives Matter- We stand in support of the fight for justice and holding those in power and racists accountable. 

- Update on why we haven't recorded- I've been tested positive for coronavirus. Angela has a lot on her plate with work. But we will be putting out new content by next month! 

- A short visualization meditation. 

Don't step in the shit! 

We weren't able to record an episode this week, but here are some meditation techniques to help you if you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or need encouragement. 

1. One Breathe at a Time: Break- Stop take a break. Place both hands on your heart, and breath deep into your heart. 

Recognize- Recognize the sensations throughout your body, acknowledging whatever is coming up for you. 

Experience- Experience the emotions that are arising with a sense of acceptance in your heart. 

Appreciate- Take a deep breath and recall a situation in which you were truly grateful. Connect to that deep state of appreciation and breathe into the gratitude allowing it to expand in your body. Transform- From that place of gratitude ask your heart,  "what do I need to do in this situation?" Your heart knows. Listen to your intuition. 

Heal- Follow your heart- take action in alignment with what you know is true. This will help you move forward and heal. 

2. Affirmation Meditation: 

Bring both hands over your heart. and connect to the natural flow of your breath. 

As you feel the rhythm of your heart beating beneath your hand, begin to connect with what you love and appreciate most about yourself. Say to your self, "I love you, (your name." 

From this place of self love, call your whole and brilliant Self forth by affirming who you want to be in this moment: " I am _____________ ( e.g., inspirational, courageous, beautiful, healthy, whole, brave...) 

Notice any sensations that are arising in your body as you continue to acknowledge and call forth who you really are. 

Continue to repeat one or multiple affirmations to yourself until they are integrated into your being. 

Don't step in the shit!
