The truth can be uncomfortable. So can growth. If it feels too easy and righteous, it’s probably spiritual bypassing smothered in white supremacy. Cults can reassure your flawed thinking. This hype has been around before. #historyrepeating

Wellness Community Statement:

WE CARE. AND WE STAND AGAINST QANON.

We want to have a heart to heart with you about the group QAnon. Some in the wellness community have joined this group and we are greatly concerned. This statement is to warn you about the dangers of this group, which is utilizing tactics that resemble cult psychology. QAnon is taking advantage of our conscious community with videos and social media steeped with bizarre theories, mind control and misinformation -- don’t be swayed by these messages!

We are aware that QAnon originated in the dark web of hate and white supremacy, and have re-packaged their message to appeal to spiritual communities. Don’t be fooled - the true intent of QAnon is to spread misinformation, blame, conflict, and sow racial division in our country.

WE ARE CLEAR - QAnon does NOT represent the true values of the wellness community. We care about your mental and emotional wellbeing and we are here to say, “Beware. Stay in your body. Use discernment. Be skeptical of the real motives behind QAnon. And, most importantly, stay in connection with your friends and family.”

Our hearts are breaking from the rampant misinformation that is dividing our community. We are asking you to join us by sharing this message, and take a stand against QAnon.

***this statement was written in collaboration with many folks in the wellness community. Please don’t credit any single person to its creation as it’s a joint effort. Feel free to share widely. ❤️

Please go see this film. This is about the future of truth and culture making vs manipulation and attention extraction. Yet, another way colonialism is stealing your hours for their profits.
Repost @thesocialdilemma
・・・
We’re thrilled to share the trailer for The Social Dilemma with you and announce its arrival to Netflix on September 9th. The film is arriving at a time where for many, social media has become our lifeline. With this reliance on technology comes immense power that, if left unchecked, will continue to undermine our democracy, mental health and human rights. Now, more than ever is the time to examine the impact these platforms have on society and take action to ensure technology serves the interests of people not profits. #TheSocialDilemma #attentionextractionmodel #extractivecapitalism #disinformation #digitaldetox #decolonizetime

“Everything that has been used against you can be a source of power.” — Kelly Diels @kelly.diels

As a kid, getting ready for school was hard. According to colonial time I was always late. A dilly dallier. Or slow, even lazy. I was always at the edge of missing the bus.

When I moved to Central America, it was such a reprieve for my central nervous system. I stepped back into indigenous regenerative time. The patterns and cycles realigned me. I finally understood what I had been resistant to “fixing” was actually my rejection to colonial time, the extraction of our hours for someone else’s gain.

I was born with a very different experience of the passage of time. Liminal space, constant transition into initiation. Magical thinking.

Everyone and everything felt familiar. When I see people, I recognize something deeper than just now.

I am not a square peg. I’m deeply attuned to the magic of the earth that surrounds me. I’m able to listen and receive the messages from the Center. I’m right where I need to be, now. That is powerful.

What has been used against you that can be your source of power?

In my previous post I quoted a line from Toni Morrison’s book Song of Solomon. The passage is about a white peacock which stands as a metaphor for white supremacy as well as for greed. Written in 1977, it is an essential read.

As we reflect over Labor Day weekend in the US, let’s connect the dots on productivity, labor movements, extractive time and white supremacy.

Today’s anti-racist works are addressing these issues. h/t to @sonyareneetaylor, @adriennemareebrown and @toimarie Smith for their present day voices.

“We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack. We should not long to return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature.” —Sonya Renee Taylor

The weight — the karmic burden of the white peacock’s showy tail — is a metaphor for the greed and extractive hoarding that harms.

Labor Day was a compromise on a promise never delivered, mostly for my Black and Brown brothers, sisters, the essential workers. It’s time to cultivate a new way of being in regenerative time, ditching extractive, productivity for shareholder profits.

My name is Ixchel (sounds like ee-shell) and I am a business and leadership strategist for JEDI humans doing epic shit. These JEDIs are leading at the intersections of Justice Ecology Diversity and Interconnection.

There are social systems and structures in place that are designed to keep you exactly where you are, precisely so that you cannot make the changes you came to make.

I can show you how to work under, around and through these systems so that you can come out on the other side initiated, whole, and free to get on with your Soul’s Work. DM me to book a time to chat.

⁠"You wanna fly, you gotta give up the thing that weighs you down." — Toni Morrison⁠⠀
⠀
Extractive time allows for greed, it’s a core value. It’s a heavy burden that feeds ego and gets in the way of true liberation. It consumes our hours for shareholder profit in the mundane sense.⠀
⠀
In the spiritual sense, what weighs us down is that which keeps us separate and disconnected from being embedded regenerative time.⠀
⠀
Pay attention to when you feel joyful. What was that moment that you felt liberated, free?⠀

⁠"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly." — Alice Walker⁠

When we move out extractive time and into regenerative time, patterns become clearer — more present. They are like signals from the future.

Alice Walker’s wisdom is one of those pattern signals for me, showing up to signal a “Hello, are you paying attention?” from the Universe.

In the beginning of my junior college days I discovered a feminist bookstore in Santa Rosa (where I attended a campaign rally for future Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey). The first book I bought was “Possessing the Secret of Joy.” In addition to showing up in my Mills studies of Womanist wisdom and justice-informed activism, at the end of my formal education when I graduated from CIIS, Walker gave the commencement address.

When I ran for Congress, she was the Grand Marshall for the Guerneville Pride Parade that I was invited to participate (I had not come out yet, many straight politicians and candidates were invited to attend and show support for LGBTQIA).

Another Walker quote and passage appeared in a significant book I read, whose author, @kotler.steven, became my mentor for Flow state coaching and writing.

As you move through time, are the significant signals or people that keep appearing, like a signal from the future to you?

What if... you didn't hurry today?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Rush Hour. On-demand. Doing more with less. Squeezing it all in. Checking off all the boxes. Doing all the things. Scheduling all the minutes. #GetShitDone. Inbox Zero. Peak performing. Looking busy. 24/7.⁠⠀
⁠⏰⠀
But what if the exhausting peak performance, was just exhausting and not really your peak? We all get the same 168 hours, right? Well, yes and no. If you’re a white male, the extractive capitalist system is rigged in your favor. His hours will go farther because labor and resources are leveraged on the backs of human hours and Earth resources (which are measured in eons, not hours). The more marginalized you are, the less leveraged hours you have. And there’s still a finite amount of natural capital to extract (that took 14 billion years to generate).⠀

⁠"It's time for you to move, realizing that the thing you are seeking is also seeking you." — Iyanla Vanzant⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Just a friendly reminder that as you prepare for the week to come, you can "move" at your own pace. You're not in a race to meet the Universe.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These times are making big demands of us, in how we show up. It's easy to feel the urgency and drop good habits in the name of coping during a global pandemic. AND, the caterpillar still goes through all the stages in just the right amount of days to become a butterfly.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Take your cue from the Earth. Unless your house is literally burning (praying for my homeland in California), take your time.⁠⠀

What does moving at your pace look like?

We ate Portobellos!

@bearfuht did a supply run to Managua and brought back hongos (mushrooms). They are a rarity here.

I sautéed them and added a yummy #chimichurri made from finely chopped parsley, rosemary and oregano from the garden. The only thing the zompopos leave me are herbs. Those giant leaf-cutter ants eat everything.

The mushrooms brought back memories of the local Sub Shop on Freeport in Sac, where I played video games in their arcade with my brother Sidd for hours upon days.

I was the top score many times for #Centipede and #Galaga. However being a young chica really rubbed the older dudes the wrong way. After my high scores I would usually find my competitors unplugging the games to erase my score. Like that changed it for them. Well, I guess that’s why I had to go get some plaques with my name put on public buildings. 😂

At the Sub Shop I would order the sautéed mushrooms for snack. I grew up a vegetarian at my mom’s house.

Mushrooms 🍄 are also siblings, the fruit of the mycelium. I miss my sibs. I guess this Venus transit in Gemini around my Saturn in the third house has brought some old memories to the surface.

We get assigned roles based on our linage, eldest, youngest, middle child. My role was complicated. I was the first child, female, in a Latinx family, big familial responsibility. Carrier of traditions, medicine, food.

It also meant being forced to provide childcare for my siblings, cleaning house and my dad’s office without pay.

The perks were temporary leadership powers.

But I was also an outsider in my homes because all my siblings were from second marriages. I was in constant transition, while they all stayed put. It made me a terrible sibling, and also pretty bad at friendship.

I’m much better with plants and animals, and mentoring.

Did your siblings and position shape your #leadership style? Is it irrelevant because you’re an only child? Share your reflections in the comments. I’m also curious if you like #mushrooms. My brother Sidd didn’t, so I didn’t have to share. 😋

If you’re looking to me for guidance I suggest you look elsewhere. Do your internal work to #decolonize. I’m signal boosting important work in my stories and listening and reading (@resmaamenakem My Grandmother’s Hands). Getting the downloads and giving resources and insights where I can.
Meanwhile where I am in Central America, our brown and Afro-Caribbean, indigenous siblings are dying at unspeakable rates from Covid and not being counted. I’m getting reusable masks made for the neighborhood. We’ve got to stop the spread so these folx can live to see 2021 and beyond.

Midwifery is really close to my heart. Roots in Minneapolis needs help. Venmo or PayPal their fiscal sponsor, @ProjectMotherPath, with a note it’s for Roots. Will post deets in comments. Click their bio link for PayPal or Venmo @projectmotherpath #blackmothersmatter

Today is 13 Kej in the Kiche Mayan Calendar. It’s also a Kej year.
🦌
Kej is connected to the four directions. It is a day of the shamans and priestesses. And it is a 13 day, so the veil between worlds is thin. Today is the day to seek insights from the Spirit world. Powerful indeed.
💫
As the nawal of the majestic stag and cacao medicine, today is a day for making an offering with cacao, standing in your center and surveying your dominion. Seek guidance of the four directions and your ancestors and you will receive insights.
🔮
A delicious offering recipe, Cacao Pudding
🥑
In a mixing bowl blend with a hand blender:
2 large avocados, pit and seed removed
1/2 cup cacao powder (sugar free, not cocoa powder but will suffice if that’s all you have)
stevia to taste
1 drop copaiba oil (contains BCP cannabinoids, not psychoactive, neuro-protective, imparts wisdom, calms the nervous system)
1 drop cardamom oil (not for pregnant or nursing moms, vasodilator, warming)
1 drop cinnamon bark oil (vasodilator, enhances cacao)
1/4 teaspoon salt to taste

Chill for 1 hour ⏳

Set an offering at your altar. Light a candle. Say a prayer and ask for blessing to work with Cacao medicine. Spend time in meditation. For more exploration, download my cacao ceremonial guide (link in bio)🕯

Wear That Beautiful Smile! 😁
It may seem overrated but smiling can make the difference between a whole day of being happy or feeling really heavy and deep inside.
✨
Try to smile and you’ll notice a lot of difference. Smiling too is viral (minus all the pain and agony though) as it is contagious to almost everyone around you and almost nobody is immune to it. Try it out!
💫
If you really want to improve your overall happiness and boost your immune system, focus each day on connecting with your support system and spreading positive emotions into the world.
☺️
When you give love, you are more likely to get love. And when you share your positive feelings, you help others to share theirs, too.
🙌🏼
Do one thing every day that shows someone in your life that you love, value, or appreciate them.
💃🏽
Here are just a few habits that just take a few minutes: ✅ Call someone you love to say hello and see how they are
✅ Hug someone
✅ Hold hands with someone
✅ Give someone a smile or a pat on the back
✅ Tell others how proud you are of someone you love
✅ Do a favor for a friend or loved one
✅ Show a complete stranger kindness and support
✨💫✨
Have fun, be happy and don’t forget that smile! Help a friend smile by tagging them in the comments, and post a photo of your silly smile.

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.
