Light Body Scan

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal practice I use to release anxious energy and station myself in the core of my being. It’s a combination of offering awareness to my body, and light. This is not a professional practice nor is this practice intended to replace medical care. Consult a doctor or health professional if needed. Do not listen while driving.

Blessed Earthstrong Garvey

U know.. the fact that wombs are still bringing forth Garvey’s, let’s me KNOW that which we call God is real. The spirit of Garvey survived the transatlantic trade, the 400 years that followed, the most brutal form of abuse humanity has ever seen….and will continue to thrive in the eyes of our contemporaries. Those like chronixx. Those like Malcolm. Those like Ali. Those eyes like Bob’s. And Miriam Makeba’s .. The fact that black wombs Still bring forth Nanny’s. Bogle’s. Malcolm’s. Ture’s. M...

Short poem on the nature of things by Rumi

Happy New Year; Spring Time Justice 🌱✨

Another year, another spring. The fragrance of love arrives. So fancy, this new light on the ground, & in the tree. The one who heals us let’s whatever hurts the soul dissolve into intelligence, where what we most deeply want, Union with Eternity, grows up around and inside us now. - Jelaluddin Muhammad Rumi 🌱

Imu

I imagine what Coretta must have felt the day after her husband was taken from her. Trying on Martin’s button downs, hugging herself...mm. Imu is dedicated to every widow who’s husband’s life was ended short ...& we know that, given the chance, He would have given his life over n over again. For the love of his people and the love of his God... but, Imu is dedicated to the love that’s left behind in her heart. Wanting. Missing. Calling out it’s own nam...

Be Okay

Awake, I contemplate your state, I want you to be ok.

Blue 💙

Blue 💙 is dedicated to the Mississippi Delta and 1862. Blue 💙 is for the human beings who proved themselves immortal through sound. Blue is dedicated to the numerous American stories that want to be told. In the poem, I say, “the world ignored how blue we were being made, but they cannot ignore the sounds we make.” It’s true.

Yourself Apart From Your Garment

Rumi teaches, "Before this body of yours, you were pure soul. For how long are you keeping a distance from that? Don't run away, run inward. The way an unripened grape runs towards its own sweetness. Remember the women of Egypt. How they nicked their fingers at the sight of Joseph, how they lost their minds because of his beauty... I want you to know there is a beauty that would blow his beauty away. (It's inside you). A description of the heart is impossible with words, even if every cell on...

Ep. 2 - Love & Revolution w/ Muhammad Muwakil

Rumi has said this, " Soemtimes, I forget completely what companionship is. Unconscious and insane, I spill sad energy everywhere. This happens to me, too. At times, I forget that what I represent is useful at a time like this. Love. Mercy. Grace. Depth. Softness. Femininity. Adab.  When this happens, I either go toward seclusion or toward, as Rumi would say, "A heart that is glad". This time I did the latter. I called on my beloved friend, Muhammad.  It's so essential for me to have companio...

Lineage of Love

Love - the state closest to God. Synonyms: Tubman, Louverture, Turner, Nanny, Ali, Rumi, Sebi, etc. You’ve heard our peers make statements like, “we are not our grandparents”? I would say this, “u don’t even amount”.

Heart Medicine

When a lost hand reaches for the rescuing hand, your presence enters my soul. Sometimes I forget completely what companionship is. Unconscious and insane. I spill sad energy everywhere. I have been unfaithful, but I still want That Beauty. Here is a heart opening, ecstatic moment between my beloved friend, Master Je-Ru G and myself. In other words, between one heart & another. 💖💖

I Can

I call every piece Of my severed soul Back to me. ✨ The piece lying in Tears at the feet of My mother. ✨ Come. ✨ The pieces lying in Blood, spilling over the Palms of unfit lovers. ✨ Come. ✨ The pieces buried low in The Atlantic Waiting to be recovered. ✨ Come back. ✨ I can carry you now. With love, Ankhet 🌱 ✨

Blessed Earthstrong Beloved Rumi.

We pray for the blessings of those who saw what we hope to see, and became what we wish to be. For all the generations before us. Regardless of religion or creed. We give thanks for the lineage of Love.

A Growing Wisdom

This is How a Human Being Can Change: There’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves. Suddenly, he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he’s no longer a worm. He’s the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that doesn’t need to devour. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

There is One Thing You Must Do, Rumi 9.10.20

There is this one thing you must do...It's as if a king has sent you to some country to do a task, and you perform a hundred other services, but not the one he sent you to do. So human being come to this world to do particular work. That work is the purpose, and each is specific to the person. If you don't do it, it's as though a priceless Indian sword were used to slice rotten meat. It's a golden bowl being used to cook turnips, when one filing from the bowl could buy a hundred suitable pots...

To Make the Hidden Manifest, Rumi 9.3.20

In this teaching: everything that exists...everything you see: good and evil. Peace and war. Feast and famine. Gentleness and wrath. It all exists to prove God real. To make the Hidden manifest. To make the hidden aspects of existence visible, in this physical realm. Quick example: remember when Muhammad Ali said, “no”. Didn’t he prove God real? Didn’t he show us that there is an invisible force far more reliable than logic? Muhammad’s challenge was for him but also for us to see God’s reali...
