How To Meditate? What is meditation?

-
Hello Everyone!


So I really wanted to write about something that I'm passionate about, but I did not know what to choose until it finally clicked! MEDITATION. I'm not sure if you're personally familiar with what meditation is. It is defined as a practice where a person trains their mind or induce a mode of consciousness. Personally, I believe that meditating is progressive... the power to meditate is within us already. In order to properly meditate we must ask ourselves WHY. What is your reason to meditate. If you have no reason, well that's even better!
Some people begin to meditate because it helps them re-calibrate. That's how I see it, it brings me back in touch with my inner stillness. With everything going on in our everyday lives, we get sucked into society's standard's and worrying about dumb shit like what people think of you. When you mediate you RECOGNIZE your thoughts, you are aware of them, but you must ignore them. Do not make the mistake of getting mad at yourself for not being able to blank your mind. That's not the idea. Let your thoughts be... observe them, focus on your breathing, and let your mind flow.
I believe that EVERYONE should take at least 5 minutes a day to relax and be mindful. After a while you start making changes in your every day lives and it becomes a lifestyle. To me, that is the goal of learning about spiritual practices.
Go find a comfy spot, whether it's some soft grass or on your bedroom floor and just listen to your thoughts. You got this!

HERE'S SOME RAD QUOTES:
  • ''You make your own choices, and it feels like you're controlling your life to a certain extent-choosing your destiny. But sometimes it doesn't matter which choices you make: Life will keep reminding you of who you really are and what you're here to do''

  • ''You've already got everything you  could ever want or need, you are complete.''

  • ''Fulfilling happiness is within, not out there somewhere.''

#BoycottDriscoll's | PROTEST

-

Hello Everyone! I would like to bring this protest to your attention. If you have not yet heard of the Driscoll's protest here is an insight. These immigrant workers are out in the scorching sun picking fruit for about $6 an hour for 12-15 hours! They are being treated terribly and harassed every day. IMAGINE how much bravery it took for them to come together and tell authorities. Not only are they being assaulted while trying to work (including child workers), but they are being threatened and the employers refuse to negotiate with them for better working conditions and salaries. These people are the backbone of America and some don't seem to want to understand that. Look around you; your gardener, school janitor, construction worker, ect. They are all part of the immigrant labor force because they have families to provide for. They are WORKING they are trying to survive. These people deserve EQUALITY and to be treated better. That is why this protest calls for an end to:

JUNETEENTH! Why is it a celebration?

Hello everyone! Today I'm writing about Juneteenth, this celebration dates back to 1865. On June 19th, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas and the news spread that the Civil war had ended and that ALL slaves were now free. I wanted to write about this because a lot  of us are ignorant to our history. It is ALL of our history because our ancestors played a role in the disgraceful act of slavery. Whether we are of European, African, or Aztect/Native. Each and every one of us now has privilege that people of color then and now do not have. Our society has functioned in a strange way since thousands of years ago. The white skinned people (males primarily) were at the top of society, they made the rules about what was legal and illegal. They decided to transport African people to the America's to use them as a free labor force. Not only was their freedom taken away, but they were beaten, separated from their families, traumatized, and raped. These same people turned ar

Force of Nature - Clean Ingredients - REVIEW

​ Hi everyone! I am so excited to be back and ready to tell you about some amazing products that I have incorporated into my life. If you follow me on my main social media pages, which are Instagram/TikTok/YouTube then you will be familiar with the fact that I am a huge fan of natural and non-toxic products. The cleaning products that I use are not exception! It is vital for me to use non-toxic products to clean. This is not only because I'd like to say that I take great care of my health, but for the sake of my dogs' health as well. That is why I began to use the brand Force of Nature! They are one of a kind products that use the power of salt, vinegar, & chemistry in order to make a powerful, but safe cleaning spray. This cleaning spray can be used on many surfaces. I use it all over my home, including in my steam mop. I do not have to worry about my dogs absorbing harmful chemicals through their little paw pads or when they lick certain things because they can ingest har
