Meditation and prayer for today:
As I was guided by wise Counciling though my meditation and prayers. These are guidance that is offered from divine presence: it said that instead of asking, become the divine presence as you, the light workers on the planet today are to radiate from your being.
Because you your self, true self, the one you call higher self is the divine presence.
You must learn to enter here and not from your "person".

Meditation and guidance:
I am divine presence.
I am obedient to divine presence.
And I am in service to divine presence
I am confident in the divine presence. I have no ties or loyalty to any outside forces. I am indeed creation and courageously embraced peace and justice for the planet 'NOW '
I process nothing, but I command everything.
I have contempt for death and I regard all life.
I have indifference to separation, my personal conditioning and discrimination. It is my readiness to radiate unconditional love and appreciation to all beings and inhabitants of the world. Ase'o, and may it be so.

A full moon fire ceremony at the beautiful Fleming circle estate was offered and hosted by Iya Tahirah, a Shamanic practitioner, spiritual teacher, healer and Consultant in the Healing of Ancestral Trauma. I am a practicing Elder and teacher here in the St.croix community. As it is a Continual call to the Elders of the community to respond to what might need to be heal and balanced, I have intentions of hosting a Full moon fire ceremony each month as I am available to show up.
Why fire ceremony in particular, I feel that and exploration is call for in light of the fact that we have been conditioned to view such Practices with as Voodoo, witchcraft, obi or something to guard against. However in this post I will not attempt to answer or write a full explanation of the importance of ceremony and ritual in our lives and in community. I will however, say that fire ceremonies and rituals are founded and Practices in most indigenous comosicolog. When Practices in connect to moon, we are connected to both masculine and Feminine energies, ( water and fire). In future post, I will have more time to explore and offer more detailed information on this subject.
Why Fire Ceremony:
Fire allows us with an avenue or space for transformation, we are provided the opportunity to release old stories, and drama and give rise to a rebirth. Through fire ceremony, we release pain, suffering, trauma and behavior patterns that are not useful for our continued soul journey. We write down those things we wish to let go of, to heal and give them to the fire, ( as the fire is the doorway to the ancestral realm or underworld). This is done with your prayer and intentions to continue your journey to heal and balance our lives.
As we release the old structural patterns, beliefs and behaviors we are now prepared to move forward because we have the lessons and wisdom of the past to transform our lives.
So a second offering or intentions are established as to what you are now ready to manifest and Practices anew in your life.
It is not enough to just make the offering here in this ceremony, we are guided to connect with our heart energy, continue in daily meditation and trust the healing that is taking place at the soul level. Quote: ' it is my soul that knows the way home,and it is my mind that imprison me'. In other words, it is not the use of our thinking mind that heal. Healing come through the heart. Journey well beloved friends and community. Iya Tahirah

Thanks to all of you who have come to see and view my page.
Please tell me what is going on with you, your challenges and/ or the many questions you might have right now regarding your next step on your journey. I am of belief that you and you alone have the answers for your self, I am just a guide who have chosen to be present, to help open the doorway or support you as you delete old programs, belief systems and other emotional blockage that may prevent you from taking that next step.
These are great dawning of our life stories and lessons from our shared humanity. It is a time to harvest these shared stories as well as our individual legacy's and stories. One great way to begin is with yourself. As this the harvest season, begin to walk back in time, and explore the harvest for you. Begin with the last seven years, and track this backward until you are at 0years. Be patient and look for patterns. What is most interesting is that the patterns are there and some of them have been stamped with an old belief system that was not of my or yours making. It is a system that's multilayered socially and generational. Instead of emotional anger, displacement, hate, shame, fear and guilt, count these as blessings. You are now awake, establish a daily practice that keeps you awake, keep on the path of wellness and holistic health. When you are ready, you will be guided, just listen with your heart. YOU WILL KNOW!

On Listening and Watching:

Greetings from Iya Tahirah. I have had a wonderful Summer this year.
I got to visit with family members and friends from all walks of life. However the most favorite was the visit with my Elder aunt of 94 and one of my Godmothers who is just 96 and may I say these two visits offered me more inspiring words of wisdom and aspirations as to ways I might chose to redefine the meanings of wellness and holistic health. The first thing I wanted to know from both was advise on growing older and maintaining a healthy mental and emotional state of being. Here is their answers: Before I give you the story from the 96 year old,I want share this short back ground .As I am arriving at the home of aunte Doll,(the name we use as children) the first thing that triggered my memory was, 'Hum' she is still living in the same home she lived in when I was a teenager of 13. that in itself affirmed stability. I entered the house and found a 96 year old with all memories intact, she recognized me with out pause. "My, my where have you been, still looks the same 'of course minus some yesrs". Laughter and the conversations begins. My one question is still in mind " what leads to growing older and maintaining good mental and emotional health"? She answered by saying that is not difficult baby, you just got to remember to live good from your heart, be kind to yourself and other people and everything else falls in place. Wow that simple ha!
With this same question in mind, I later came the 94 year old with a different kind of question: as more of statement " aunt, I am just now coming to my 80th birthday, and unlike other times, I am feeling a little outer sort. 'My first advice is to not compare yourself with those people who might be of the same age as you and remember what's special about you and your gifts. These people may be in your peer group or the same age but they have not been where you have been and nor have they taken the time to grow themselves.
And remember that as we grow older, we go through some things, but we will continue to rise and most of all be true to yourself.
I share these two stories because, for many of us who have chosen to live a certain lifestyle that allows us to arrived at a measurable destination; one in which we can reap the benefits and lessons learned. Our destiny is not an age number it is a life lived we and we don't to give in, we continue to rise up.
Walking away from these two stories, I found a consistent theme that speaks highly to me as a way to fully embrace wellness and holistic health. Although there no particular sequence order given, I am going to use this as a next juncture for practicing wellness and holistic health.
I get that the first Key is:
1. Be true to yourself
2. Live your "life " and you will have your life purpose ( how simple is that?)
3. Love yourself, kinda go along with being true to yourself and
4. Spend time with yourself, a day by the water, or in nature, read a book, have a me out day
5. Daily meditation and exercise (10 minutes twice daily, ideally for me this is a 1.5 to 2 hours daily routine), however for many of you this could be a
stretch.
6. Journal writing daily
7. Schedule a vision Quest
8. Eat healthy fresh vegetables and fruits
9. Consult with a spiritual guide or teach and get a spiritual reading that is if you indeed experiencing a sift or emotional changes in your life.
10. Take time to harvest and review your life lessons. (Each year marks a complete cycle of ones life.)

Note: If you are a member or just viewing my page. Give me some feedback on programs or training you are willing to support and participate in.
For this year I will be offering several programs/practices:
1. Working with the wisdom and spiritual body through Ti Chi energy and meditation practices.
