My limbic system has not been so limber these past few days…
Navigating mass outrage at the hands of a corrupt system that has spared no woman. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has left me gut-punched, angry, and more reactive than I’ve felt in a LONG time.
I feel like I’ve regressed emotionally, after making so many changes to my to my life and habits. For four days now, I have experienced several cycles of grief. Disbelief, anger, bargaining, acceptance… over and over again. It’s okay to have a breakdown, but it’s not okay to unpack and live there.
Today, I am choosing KAVA for all that ails me. A return to my only power, myself. I will consume it with intention, with awareness, and with love in my heart. I will Bula to the many women who came before me, the women who stand next to me. and for my daughters, who are growing like vines, expanding in all directions, blooming into their own perfect human selves.
Let times like this be a reminder that it is not healthy to dwell in sorrow, or anger, but instead we should collectively reach for solutions, acting as shapers of consciousness, seeking a mental state that allows us to organize and fight more effectively, without exhausting emotional outbursts. Our energy is a valuable form of currency. Let’s use it wisely.
On the 9th day God created Kava. 🍵 She knows what’s she’s doing.
Let kava be thy guide. Let it melt away the rigid anger that has calcified our backbones. Let us drink together in harmony, for a better community and a better world. Let us drink to remember our mothers and their mothers, and the great ancestral mothers of all native lands, the great matriarchs of Mother Earth, let us return in service to her nature.
Let us drink kava to heal emotional trauma, to connect to source and each other, so that we may have the power to fight for our daughters.
Bula 🥥
