Track: DJ Barrientos aka Patio Papi - SOBR - 01 5

I care for my body consistently and judiciously. I am in tune to the joy and pleasure my body exudes, just as much as I acknowledge the discontentment and pain. I embrace every feeling and emotion my body exhibits knowing that every cycle and season are the experience of living. I am the supreme caretaker of my temple. My body is always talking to me and I am always open to listen.

"The great outdoors is my biggest playground. I am invited to frolic, wonder, and play. I grant myself the space to be in awe of the beauty around me and within me. I allow Mother Earth the opportunity to embrace me, whether with a plush breeze or a crisp wave. I extend my deepest gratitude to the earth and the atmosphere for holding me and sustaining me. I grant myself the grace to leisure in the divine spaciousness of outside."

Jahala Walker:

Growing up with family members that had health issues that cause pain and swelling, massage was a normal occurrence in our home. My grandmother said I had "healing hands." It is second nature to me, a natural gift.Through using therapeutic touch and various modalities, I facilitate the healing process within the body,  promote muscle relaxation, and stress management. I believe in the healing power of touch and its capability, and plan to incorporate this skill in helping individuals physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the words of Albert Einstein, I truly stand by his statement: "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"I am free to love and resist at the same time. As I give birth to some of my most beautiful works, I understand that in order for them to survive I must instill in them the resilience that I possess... to ensure thriving longevity. Through sharing myself with community and the world I love heavily and resist deeply."

We are entering a season of sowing and reconnecting with the earth. Join Lesley as she shares subliminal vibes with sounds provided by HexKitten.  

Planting Goodness Subliminal 

The Earth is my home and my playground. It supplies me all the resources I need and it is the sole source of nourishment I seek. The sun nourishes me. The water hydrates me. The Earth's' bounty feeds me. This is more than enough. I am environed in goodness and great abundance. 

Join Lesley as she discusses releasing generational burdens and focusing on self-healing. Feel free to repeat these affirmations to yourself or vibe out <3

"I am free because I release the weight of the burdens that do not serve me. I hold the strength and resilience of my ancestors who lovingly and divinely lead me and cover me. I release their pain and suffering in favor of healing myself. In doing this revolutionary act of survival I not only bring peace to those who came before me, but I create supple space for those that may come after me. I am free because I let the heavy things go."

Overcoming with Intentionality Subliminal Track

The spirit of triumph courses through my body as I face the mountain in my path. This adversity is slight when compared to my ability to overcome it, despite the form it takes. I am divinely gifted with the wisdom and optimally equipped with the tools to summit this peak. As I rise to this occasion I am reminded that the journey is the greatest teacher and joy can be found in entropy. As I step into my triumphant moment I understand that I have been and always will be a conquerer.

"I am my greatest caregiver. The care I provide myself opens the gateway to knowing my deepest needs and illuminates the path to connect with my most divine self. The care I provide is all-encompassing and caters to every facet of me. I am nuanced and I know what I need. I am my greatest caregiver and I am in-tune to me."
