Free Your Spine…

And the rest will follow.

One of the most life alerting things I’ve ever done in this world is loosen my spine through back-bending yoga. It happened quite by accident actually. I simply chose a yoga video I wanted to do, which turned out to be a heart opening sequence, requiring a lot of poses that open up the back (camel, locust, wheel). Immediately noticing the difference in flexibility I started actively searching for them.

My chest, shoulders, and neck became stiff free. An issue that’s plagued me for years. I couldn’t believe the mobility I’d attained through these exercises. There were days when I couldn’t turn my neck left or right without intense pain. Completely unaware of how much tension I carried in those places. A burden lifted.

The spine is the literal backbone of your body, take care of it and watch how other parts fall into place. Now I can realign without the help of a professional. I’ve never felt better. Do you know how enslaved you are by tension, negative energy, and trauma stored in your temple when you don’t do yoga? Via: Praze Magazine

The Recipe For Mastering Anything

Two things to remember:
1. Practice makes perfect.
2. Progress is only made when you try doing something, repeatedly.

I never thought I’d be able to get my chest and chin on the floor simultaneously during puppy pose. Then 2 weeks ago it happened out of the clear blue fuck. At that point in the game I was simply following the instructor, detached from the outcome of nailing the pose. I’m incredibly proud of myself, after years of putting in work to no avail. Shout out to backbend sequences, I’d still have tense shoulders and a stiff neck if not for you. Focusing on opening up my back, which I ignored prior, changed my life.

This is what makes yoga an enriching experience. It humbles you by showing the limitations of your body, but asks you to keep showing up and doing the same movements repeatedly, rewarding you by surpassing those restrictions in due time. Don’t skip the move. Do it, fail, do it again. That’s the only way to expand your range of motion, eventually perfecting the pose. Baby steps, failure, patience, resilience, the recipe for mastering anything. Via: HelloBlackChild

Exercising in general is my favorite part of the day, but yoga brings me a special kind of joy. It’s a humbling experience when simple movements prove to be more difficult than they look. Then one day out of nowhere, after many failed attempts, your body does the impossible. Suddenly my hands are in reverse prayer! Still can’t believe it! The surge of pride from nailing this position cannot be described. I wouldn’t feel as good about it without the numerous, NUMEROUS, I’m talking didn’t think I’d ever accomplish this, fails! It’s the little things. What’s something you never thought you’d be able to do, but did with your body? Via: Geeoice_Yoga & YogaWithPoonam

Health care includes taking care for your mind, energetic body, and soul. The small things really make a big difference, reading, doing yoga, therapy once a week. I know there’s a stigma around therapy, telling someone your business, or thinking it makes you a loon, weak, but there shouldn’t be. Checking in with a professional, working on your issues, releasing trauma, it makes you a better person, an evolved one. Find someone that suits you (not every therapist is a good one). Make healing a priority. Which of these activities can you add to enhance your life? Via: DrLaurenFogelMersy

Doing yoga I learned putting your feet up is a health must. This infinitesimal action has many benefits like removing toxins that have settled there. Other perks include increased circulation, improved digestion, soothes the nervous system (a must for mental health disorders like PTSD) and relieves pain in the feet, hamstrings and back, to name a few. Health is wealth, don’t overlook like your feet when taking care of yourself. Get massages, stretch your toes, move your ankles in circles.Via: Cosmopolitan

If you don’t use it, you lose it, literally, as in your brain can become riddled with disease. Exercising your mind, learning something new, expanding on what you already know, helps your brain combat memory lose and the erasure of other things. It’s like when you don’t make working out a lifestyle, as you get older your body loses it’s ability to do basic tasks, even bending over is a hurdle, or impossibility. Don’t believe me? Volunteer at a nursing home, I’ve done it plenty of times and it solidified my commitment to yoga. I want to pick up dropped items, hold my head up (literally, some people have permanent crane neck and can’t turn their heads), and move sans assistance.
The same goes for mental activity. Feed your mind, clear your mind, train your mind. Not only will you remain sharp, you’ll feel better. Mental health matters. If this is overwhelming, pick one from each category to do. Via: Sound Of Silence.Praachipisatt

There are so many downloads coming in, many messages for many people. When your powers come from god (born with it), you listen and respect the boundaries. I am not to reveal anything, it is for you to navigate with the information I have given thus far. When they come from the devil there is no respect, just taking, but the devil always comes to collect. Always. Stay grounded, exercise to release negative energy stored in the body and meditate to stop the mind from controlling you. This will all strengthen your intuition to decipher energy, people lie, energy does not. Side-note: Are you wearing your mask? Via: Mue Studios

Protect Ya Neck From Text

Last week I stopped working out for two full days in a row…okay four, four whole days in a row. A symptom of quarantine, usually I exercise 5-6 times a week. The break was crucial in confirming health is wealth; almost instantly I started to experience a severe pain from my right shoulder/neck to my wrist. At first I thought I had De Quervain’s tendinosis (inflamed tendons on the thumb side of my wrist), but the real culprit was technology. I was suffering from text neck. Staring down at your phone and/or computer for extended periods of time, rather than holding your items at eye level causes the neck to protract. This is nothing to take lightly. Your ligaments weaken and the muscles at the back of your head shorten, leading to permanent damage if left unresolved.

In the beginning I didn’t think this was something to worry about, I look down to read books and write in my journal. Until a curvature appeared, truly I started to freak the fuck out! Evolution is not a game, something like this can change the human structure and pass down to our offspring. We keep what we use, we lose what we don’t.

Dramatic as fuck, I started looking up solutions to reverse my turtle neck which was worsening hunny. Holding your technology up to eye level is one prevention method, but exercising, particularly YOGA is the answer. All those downward facing dogs and mountain poses aren’t in vain. Do yourself a favor even if you don’t like strenuous workouts; if not for your mental wellbeing, or for vanity’s sake do it for your spine. Unless you find bliss in spinal degeneration, early arthritis, disc compression, weakened muscles and loss of lung capacity then have at it, it’s your life kid.
