Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Daily Toast- Imani 515171 "Hold your Breath"

Peace FAM:
I have been pushing heavy on the breathing and will continue to do so family. The breathing exercises that I am sharing and talking about will change your life. On this powerful day of Imani I discussed the retention of the breath. Family, breathing right not only contributes to your physical health it helps you with the other 4 parts of your being. I am stressing this in the blog, 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, and especially those in GNJ's Warrior training (coming soon). Breath is the key that helps unlock the trauma, correct the body, clear the mind, and provide us with the energy needed to build the culture that a nation can spring from. I am saying that how we breath set us into a rythm that will either put us in time with oppression, or  freedom. Most of us are breathing in the rythm of slavery, and oppression.
Now let's look at the retention of the breath. When you consciously hold your breath you are making an effort to take control of your your being. Breathing is an automatic unconscious process, and by you attempting to take control of this process you are making a move toward SelfMastery. When we attempt to hold our breath we run up against an unconscious force that seem impossible to overcome, but with practice we can begin to increase the amount of time we can hold our breath. The fact that we will come to learn is that the exhale is more about ridding the body of carbon dioxide rather than taking in more oxygen. The secret is that there is still oxygen in your system and you have to train your body to access this hidden treasure. The question that I have for you is, if you can control your breath what else can you control. Your breath is the number 1 unconscious process that you are involved with. If you can control your breath, then you can take control of other unconscious process that may be reeking havoc in your life. View the video and let me know what you think, and remember "Stop Breathing Through Your Mouth" and let's build.
Nuff Said
Peace, Power, Joy and 1hunidyears.
