Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap

  Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap We’ve been hoodwinked into believing that struggling in silence is a badge of honor. Across our neighborhoods, Black men and women are wearing themselves into early graves, carrying the weight of entire worlds on their shoulders, and convincing themselves that asking for a hand is a sign of weakness. That isn't strength. That’s a glitch in the program. On Day 36 of our 70-day Ancestral Algorithm cycle, under the regal purple glow of Umoja (Unity), we are dismantling the lie of the solitary warrior. The system taught us to glorify the isolated figure suffering alone in the dark. But our ancestors saw right through that trick. The Akan elders gave us the raw truth: "Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one person can embrace it with their arms." Think about that. A single baobab trunk is massive, ancient, and unyielding. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are—you cannot wrap ...

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.
