    Crystals, Plants, and Why You Should Care About EMF

    With the growth in popularity of aesthetics that have become associated with spirituality concepts, the idea of crystals being more than pretty decorative objects might be cliche. I am one who firmly believes in the energy of nature-created crystals, since the moment I was given one to hold by a friend, back in 2014. I’ll always remember how awed I was being able to feel the gentle vibration emitting from the rose quartz stone. I immediately had to get one for myself. I learned the properties of the different stones and found certain ones that resonate with me. On my journey to healing energetically and emotionally, having stones around has…

    Creative Expression For Release & Healing

    In my personal growth, I notice that I can no longer suppress what my spirit yearns to express. I suppose this is my unique experience of being guided into creating art for more than just myself. I touched on self-expression here before, but learning the importance of my voice has been something that I still find myself reflecting on often, in relation to womanhood. The truth is that I lost a sense of worth for a long time, and I have been re-adjusting since becoming an adult. I am now able to express my true self more freely than ever. When losing a sense of worth in oneself while being…

    2017 UPDATE: Vegan & My Upcoming Online Store!

    I have not done a personal life update in quite some time. This is a special year for myself, according to certain signs I’ve noticed, and all that is already coming into play within my direct reality. After years studying, cooking, detoxes, and financial planning, I am ecstatic to declare that I have adopted my own version of a Vegan diet. Last year, I shared a post about my Vegetarian/Pescatarian experience, which began in my early-adult life. This is the right time for myself to cross over into a lifestyle that pulls at me daily. The most difficult obstacle has been financial and relating to a lack of knowledge about…

    Let’s be more Sporadic! + Subway Dancers in L.A.

    I recently lived a day of random fun with friends I have not seen together since the year started. One of them mentioned, several times, how it seemed that he had not been out in the world for weeks, or more. He works the nightshift. It was funny, because it was like he was experiencing a re-awakening. I also found it amusing how he chose to express this realization as we were walking along the most busiest street in the area, but this is also someone who is always humorous and imaginative. He could easily be a comedian. The same friend had also not been on a train to Hollywood…

    Mind Noise

    I have been reliving that awkward first moment when one of your most replayed songs is the one with your own voice on it! I wonder if I will get used to it. This feels like a good time to share the recurring themes I have noticed as of late. I find myself frequently inspired, and the wonderful thing is that the inspiration comes to me in many forms. For instance, the Flying Lotus show which I attended at The Wiltern was everything amazing that I expected, but there was something he said about how the things we create make us immortal that truly hit me at the right moment.…

    Meeting Jhené & Souled Out

    Jhené Aiko might be a new artist to many of the people I stood in line with yesterday, but for me, she’s as influential as any other older artist who debuted in the early 2000’s. I didn’t plan on doing a post for Souled Out because you can hear about it just about all over. I then heard the album and decided that regardless of it already being exposed for the people to grab and find on their own, it is an important project to me as an individual and to all music, current r&b, and consciousness. And so, this belongs on the frolic. While I’m at it, I’ll also…

    Make way for the new. . .

    New ideas, new ambitions, new manifestations! New VIRGO Moon! Today I am searching for a piece of mind that is weightless. I am searching for weightlessness so that I might fill it with energy of the greatest channeling I have ever done. If you are anything like I can be, you might constantly imagine ways to make yourself better. And if you’re even more like me, you tend to struggle with the manifestation of what you come up with every now and then. Sometimes I feel these blocks have a lot to do with having so much happening at once. Do you ever feel that way? Not just distracted, but…

    This is (kindA) what I’m up to noW.

    I realized that I have not written a full blog post on myself lately. It’s been fulfilling to share my lessons here, even though it is a blind exchange. Every concrete thing I would want to write and express about my current experience is still in progress. I don’t like to talk too specifically about what I’m getting into because the things are always changing shape before completion. I will share that I have been doing a lot of self-defining writing lately. I see myself clearer than ever, so a lot of wonderful messages are escaping me. Besides the poetry I have been writing, I am gradually working on the…

    Freely Observing

    I have practiced living freely lately. What does it mean to live freely? I notice that most people think of it in terms of financial stability. Being able to buy whatever you like and go wherever you like because you have all of the money you’ve ever dreamed of is what those in this age consider freedom. This is fair, but I am happier than ever while being far from my financial goals. So, what do I mean exactly? When I say FREELY, I mean living, breathing, walking around with acknowledgement of mental blocks that threaten to stop me from doing what I want, whatever it maybe. Fear is an…

    Yeah baby, I like it RAW!

    All RAW everything! At least for the next two weeks… I’m currently experiencing my sixth day of the twenty day HERBAL cleanse I’m doing which requires that I adopt an all raw food diet. Yup! This means that I am not consuming anything that has been processed with sugar and artificial flavors and other chemicals that we know make up the foods we consume regularly. No dairy products, or anything of animal origin has entered me since this past Monday! Once again, I’m amazed by the timing of this particular adventure because I’ve been interested in improving my diet, but I always thought it would be too expensive to start…
