Ujamaa: Moving Beyond Survival to Shared Prosperity

Podcast Episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-green-harvest-of-the-we--69434400 In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we speak often of moving away from the toxic cycle of BSG (Blame, Shame, and Guilt). One of the most practical ways to break that cycle is through the application of Ujamaa , or Cooperative Economics. Economics is often seen as a cold, distant field of numbers. But in our community, economics is deeply personal. It is about who we trust with our hard-earned resources. When we practice Ujamaa, we are asserting our Self-Determination (Kujichagulia) on a collective scale. We are saying that we have the power to create our own systems of support.

Meditation Balances the Body's Systems

Image via Wikipedia I happened to be looking up some info about meditatition  for a group that I was doing, and decided to share an article I found. Actually this article started a few days ago when one of my elders sent me a video about transcedental meditation. Since I use some meditation techniques in my classes I decided to share  this information on my blog as well. I have decided that for the next 30 days I will meditate at least twice a day and blog about my experience. I am also challenging all my co authors, and members of  Gye-Nyame to do the same. Science is not only showing the healing properties of meditation on the individual's body, but has also shown that meditation also effects the world around us as well. So if I can get 50 people meditating with me for 30 days twice a day we can change the world. hahahahaa. Seriously I am putting out the challenge to all those on  the Journey, Meditate with me for the next 30 days or how ever many days our left....

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GENOME.....TED talk- Neo- evolution

The future is fast approaching and it looks like some major choices will have to be made by the human race. Get a glimpse at what is coming down the pike. How will these changes be made? Who will decide? In a world where everyone is super where is the specialness? These are just a few questions that we will have to face when the time comes, or at least those of us who have the money to make them. I can see the day when the backyard geneticist will be giving those in poverty the hook up... hahahahahaaa....check out the video:
