Daily Toast- Kujichagulia 59171 "Mouth Breathing is killing you"

Image
Peace FAM: I am running into some powerful information about the power of the breath. I have been dealing with the concept of axe' in the breath for a long time, but now I have found scientific proof of the power of the breath, and even more importantly how the breath is taken in the body. My friends and family it has finally been proven that breathing through the nose is the best way to breath, but it has also been shown to help an individual over come or better control obesity, impotence in life as well as erectiel dysfunction, diabetes, insomnia, anxiety, depression,      cardiovascular issues, GI disorders, and etc.. Proper Nostril breathing  helps strengthen  the immune system. This is a simple process that each of us can do to take control of our health.

It is free, it is relaxing, and it can get you high, what more do you need. For tho

Daily Toast- 58171 "Benefits Of Steaming"

Image
Peace FAM: Great Umoja, let's take some time and talk about the power of steaming and how you can use it in your life to get healthier, and to make cooking easier. i personally cook everything in it. As a matter of fact I made my kids some eggs in it this morning. Of course they were hard boiled, but I have made omellets as well as poached. I cook my rice, quinoa, and etc.. I also take care of my fish in this contraption. My favorite thing to prepare though is beans, man I can prepare some beans in less than 2 hours and if they are soaked even sooner. By adding some extra water and vegitables I can make it a soup. The best part about the steamer is that I can warm up my veggies, and not kill or wash away the health benefits. So those of you taking that 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge  go to a thrift store or find one of your friends who love buying gadgets and only use them for a few times, and get it from their. I just want to stress that you do not have to go out and buy and bran

Daily Toast- Imani 57171

Image
Peace FAM: Great Imani to you, and hopefully you are seeing the effects from joining me each day. When we celebrate our ancestors they celebrate us, and begin to be active in our life. Many of you will begin experiencing lucky incidents, but do not put it off on luck. These are ancestral intercessions, your ancestors are acting upon your life as you act upon theirs. Your thoughts of them provide energy, and life flows from energy. I have been told that our ancestors do not help us because they are starving. We have pushed to the back of our lives, if not pushed them all of the way out. When we toast, and pour libations, we send them axe' that they can use. As we continue this process we will begin to notice that small events that are happening for us will begin to grow. So stay on it with me and bear witness. Now today I simply wanted to share the importance  of Imani in the building of the Gye-Nyame Complex. Which I believe will be a major power move for us. We will have communi

Daily Toast- Kuumba 56171 "The Impossible Dream- Gye-Nyame Complex" UPDATE

Image
     Peace FAM: Had to post rapidly and had no time to type a short intro, as I usually do. I had to take a trip to my birth place with my mother to receive her star on the South Ranger's Walk of Fame. After completing the journey I came home and went to sleep. I hope that you had the opportunity to check the video, and got the core of the message. I am not just talking about buying some property for making money. I am talking about purchasing property to grow a culture. Culture is like a plant, in that it requires soil to sprout. Our culture has been forced into a position of exisiting like wild plants. Wild plants pop up where they can, and if they pop up in someone elses yard, or garden (culture) they are immediately poisened or pulled up. This is why we need to purchase the land for our culture to sprout up, and grow strong. In that way we can cultivate it and increase the qualities that we need and get rid of the qualities that are undesirable. I believe that communities

Daily Toast- Nia 55171 "The Tao Of Ignorance"

Image
Peace FAM: Great Nia, and welcome to GNJ. I was excited about this video, it came together in a dream. I began to question the idea of ignorance, and the role it plays in the life of my people. After reflecting I began to notice the role it plays in my own personal development. I have been held back because of my ignorance, or my ability to ignore. As a people we have been well trained in the art of ignoring. Ignorance when I think about it is an art, and has been perfected by certain segments of our family. Checkout the video, join the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge , and be on the lookout for GNJ's 21 week warrior training click the link to stay in the loop.

Daily Toast- Ujamaa 54171 "Unproductive Behaviors"

Image
Peace FAM: SelfMastery is about constantly looking at ourselves, and evaluating what we need , and what we need to change. This is a constant struggle, and it can be painful, but as our ancestor Amos Wilson taught us "It is a child that fears pain". So today I decided to look at the idea of unproductive behaviors. Do you have any?

Daily Toast- Ujima 53171 "How we escape the Hood Trap"

Image
Peace FAM: Let us escape the hood, by using the principles we have been blessed with, especially Kujichagulia, and Ujima. By using these principles and first redefining (Kujichagulia) who and where we are, we can then step fully into our power using Ujima. Ujima shares the day with the principle of Respect, Righteousness, and the law of Vibration.  By using the powers of this day we are able to overcome all of the obstacles laid before us. So checkout the video and let me know what you think. By the way DON'T BE SCARED.... Take the   CHALLENGE , and see what you are capable of in just 21 days.

Daily Toast- Kujichagulia 52171 "The Hood Trap"

Image
Peace FAM: Today we toast the mighty principle of Kujichagulia. So lift your glass and let's call our ancestors home to stand by our side, in this battle for our Culture and eventually our nation. Unfortunately we have no homes to call them to, because many of us are inhabitants of a danger zone called the "hood". Many of us take pride in our ability to exist in miserable conditions, and we have narrowed the Black experience down to hoodism. The ability to define is the power that separates us from the beast of the field, but since we have not snatched this power back from those that would use toward our demise we exist in a unhealthy state. Man through time has been able to rise above his environment, and shape it to his liking. Unfortunately we missed this in our study of culture. We have allowed our enemies to define us and we have let our environment shape. Leaving us with the cancerous idea of the hood. Men through the shaping of environment form villages and comm

Peace FAM: Today we will be talking about coconut oil and the power it has to add to our lives. The best part for me is that it is healthy fat that can be converted to energy quickly. I will be increasing the use of it in my personal life, and will be reporting on the effects that I feel. I woke up late today feeling much better and was able to take a cold bath and get into my Gye-Nyame Salutation as well as my Axe' breath. The best part about this process is that i am getting much more in tune with my body and as I grow I will share the information with you to help you along on your Journey.

Peace FAM: I must apologize for the late post. Yesterday I fell ill suddenly why I was completing my video and in the process of uploading. The pressure behind my left ear was horrible, and I took the rest of the day to rest. Now i know those that have been watching and reading are like "Brother, how can you fall sick with all of "That Ambrosia" and with you taking those supplements?" The answer is complicated, and I am still looking into it, but I have narrowed it down to some possibilities that I feel that it is important to share with those that will be taking the 21 Day Nguzo Saba challenge. On Ujamaa evening at about 5pm I indulged on a mud pie, and a strawberry pie, that was presented to the staff as a gift. I had two healthy pieces, and at the time it was good. Now for those that are doing the challenge beware of over doing your meals if you are attempting the "Warrior Diet", I figured since I had kept my diet, then the pies would not hurt me. I

Daily Toast- Ujamaa 427171 "You Are not breathing right"

Image
Peace FAM: Food is important, water is more important, but air is the true staple of life. If your air supply stops and you are dead in a few minutes. This is a fact that none can deny. This is why I wanted to do a video talking about breathing and the proper way to breath. We need to pay more attention to the breath, just mastering this one exercise and consciously breathing we can increase our health, strength, and power of our immune system. Many of us our suffering from the effects of improper breathing, and dehydration. If we water our bodies, and breath properly we can eliminate the need for many of the supplements and drugs that we are taking. Our bodies are malfunctioning because we have not been handling the basics. Breathing correctly is the key, if we perfect this skill our life would jump by leaps and bonds. When we bring air into our body it enables us to transform the food we eat into the energy that we need to make it through the day. We must become conscious of our bre

"Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink" Peace FAM: I would like to greet you on this marvelous day of Ujima. If you missed it we a had powerful show last night (Folk Tales For Grown Folks), and I plan to top that tonight with " Tribal Quotes ", which for those that don't know airs every Ujima @ 9pm est.

Make sure you like and press the alarm bell so that you will be notified when ever I broadcast, but beware I live stream on FB every morning to Salute the ancestors with a Daily Toast @ 4:15 am est.. Today's topic is simply water, I believe that a majority of the people that I walk by, work with, and work around may be suffering from dehydration. Most people in America although we are surrounded by water are not drinking enough. We are either drinking the chemically laced tap water, or we just are jumping over water altogether and slurping on all the different varieties of mud that are available to us. It
