Stop and smell the yesterday was day 2 of the #KhepeRAchallenge for me — STILLNESS✨ was the theme but eye really spent little time still. Eye honestly didn’t even start with my 11 minutes of stillness (yikes!) but it’s all good cause eye made time as eye watered the plants and settled at sunset☀️ Eye have been building here, literally, and organizing things back in Brooklyn from over 5,550 miles away… the average person really couldn’t even manage the share number of things eye juggle in NY alone! Eye am so thAnkhful to have the ability to handle complexity but it’s not always with grace, and it’s not always healthy. Eye grow when eye make time to be STILL eye am accepting that it has to look differently for me right now. Eye am committing to the stillness before eye take a step out of the bed. Tracking my fertility has added another interesting dynamic to slow me down when eye awaken and center me on the throne of my womb #naturalbirthcontrol

We start the day with 11 minutes of STILLNESS because everyone’s “meditation” is different. Without the weight of that particular word it allows each participant to explore and find their own way within themselves

Be still to RAflect on what’s happening around you. STILLNESS allows us to hear and process the messages coming to us from our lives✨ from withIN us! #intuition

BE STILL

These beautiful works of art were hand dyed by West African artisans on cotton. We purchased this particular piece from a Senegalese woman at Lake Retba aka Lac Rose, the pink lake in Senegal

This is a piece of African ART dyed by hand in Senegal… it is NOT African print, which is wide spread because they’re mass produced mostly in China now. PRODUCTION MATTERS! Whose eating off your “culture”?

Some character studies I decided to throw a little colour onto. I’ve added a little more to it since this recording, so I’ll post up the full image tomorrow. Haven’t done one of these process vids in a while… they’re not fun
