PsychoSpiritual Analyses Of Pregnancy, Birth & Conscious Motherhood

Today’s episode is a bit candid. I decided to go into nature, with my children, and record. One of the factors of my isolated conscious motherhood journey is that I am, ever, learning to balance between allowing myself to invest in my creative entrepreneurial and content creation journey and fulfilling my duties as a homemaking, homeschooling, homesteading mother and wife. There are definitely many times when I have felt overwhelmed with my many responsibilities to my family, my inner child and my, ever evolving, self. What has helped me, recently, in navigating the difficult moments is nourishing a higher perspective of my situation and surrendering to a higher knowing of why I am living the life I am living. Nature, too, has been a safe space for me, on my seasons of isolated, conscious mothering. She offers me spaces where my children can run free, while I surrender to my creative urges.

In today’s episode, I am sharing thoughts and insights on the process of ‘Spiritual Awakening’ and our unique processes as mothers and homemakers. I call this process of awakening, alongside our duties as mothers, ‘Awakening Through Motherhood.’ I, also, share thoughts on how new age spiritual language can create a false confidence surrounding us ‘being God’. We are not the Source, we are extensions from that Source (God). So, while we do have the potential within us to heal and balance our karmas and live in our light, it is so important to recognize the higher Source of our energy, because this healing process does require the support of The Most High.

Greetings Lotuses, today I wanted to share some thoughts on divine union, spiritual healing and ‘brokeness’. I’ve experienced going through financially challenging periods on my journey, while being married, conscious and mothering. I’ve learned that our financial state isn’t always a reflection of our spiritual state and I have some insights to share with those who may be going through similar experiences or have similar reasonings, so feel free to tune in and write in some thoughts.

Greetings Lotuses. I wasn’t too sure what to call this episode but … welcome back! In today’s episode I allowed myself to channel some thoughts on the feminine healing journey, from my perspective & experinces, as a Jamaican/Caribbean Woman. I share a bit about my personal experiences that guided me to these insights.

There are two dominant forces that we have within us and that surround us — The Masculine & Feminine or, as described in Taoism as, Yin and Yang. Yin, being the feminine and Yang being the masculine.

🌱

This can also be looked at on a more scientific level as the left and right brain perspectives of life. The left brain hemisphere is known as the masculine side and governs the right side of the human body and the right brain hemisphere is feminine and governs the left side of the body. So, our left side of our body is the feminine and our right side of our bodies is masculine BUT the left side of the brain is masculine and the right side of the brain is feminine.

🌱

Feminine and Masculine goes beyond gender and speaks of the characteristic of our being, nature and energy. With quick research one can look up feminine and masculine characteristics. We all carry both of these principles within us ... in different degrees and the goal is to balance our masculine and feminine energies within ourselves and within this Universe...

🌱

Science says that, though the left and right brain hemisphere can, and does, work, independently, they do their best when they work TOGETHER. The goal, is for us to see the value in the feminine as much we do the masculine and this goes from the literal gender based view to the esoteric and energetic views of bringing balance to one’s self and this universe.

Hey Everyone. I am back (finally) and today I’m sharing a bit around the realm of birthing in Jamaica and connecting all that I’ve observed these last few weeks, months and years as it relates to feminine healing, birthing and farming... these are all connected under the umbrella of Femininity, in the essence of energy. As we’re in the process of reclaiming our feminine energy in its most natural state, I find that I am going through it, mostly, in the reams of motherhood, birthing and farming (paying attention to what we eat, where it comes from, etc.) 🌱This was actually filmed today, December 21, 2020, but I accidentally saved it under an old podcast draft from back in September🌱 lol but nonetheless, still sharing.

Greetings all, in this episode I speak, candidly, about my experiences with learning how to balance my masculine and feminine energies. It’s not always easy and I find that it requires constant self observation but, I’m grateful for the awareness that I have that leads me to constantly work on myself and navigate these different experiences of my life and return to a space of calm after triggering moments... I find that everything is a mirror of how our energies are, within and so... these past few years, I’ve been allowing my experiences as a Wife and Mother to guide me inward so that I can understand how my energies are - when I’m overly expressing my masculine or perhaps sinking into left brain ways of reaction to avoid the work of feeling and tuning in to my emotions. It’s a process... and I am nowhere near perfect when it comes to understanding the balance of the energies but I’ll keep learning and trying. #blackwombsawakening

There’s been a lot of tension these last few weeks and, as is the flow of life, the tension around us very much affects within us ... and in many ways, is a reflection of the ongoing tension that resides within us all, individually and collectively.

A few weeks ago, I came across some information on the traumatic experiences that happened in the Rasta Community in April 1963. I decided to go down the rabbit hole and found information on how much segregation Rastafarians have endured within their own Black Communities, over the years. I have seen this, growing up in Jamaica but never quite understood why Rastas were looked down on and why young people were so deterred from embodying anything that resembled the Rasta man... like locing their hair.

🐍

Simultaneously, and this was to my surprise, in April 1963 ... Martin Luther King was in Alabama fighting against the White Supremacists Segregation.

🐍

What was interesting to me was that the very same thing happening in America was happening in Jamaica except it wasn’t White Supremacists (though idk if Bustamate was a white supremacist) and white cops and white people who were suppressing the Rastas... it was their own black people.

🐍

So, this brought to my mind the concept of the “European Supremacy Consciousness” and how it can be rooted in any being ... and how throughout the centuries many Black people have had this European supremacy consciousness planted within them and had an aversion to anything related to black consciousness and black freedom. I think this is the very thing that caused so many Black people to look down on Rasta men and women who refused to live their lives from the standards of Europeans ... they refused to live by European Consciousness... as they did not incarnate as European Beings...
