Was Good Believers?

If you are new here, I refer to my people as Believers because everyone believes in something, whether it’s God, Santa Clause, or negativity.  I am here to assist you in believing in you(r) source. 

Happy December; Happy New Moon in Saggitarius

Right now, everyone in my house is asleep, I am locked in with The Juicy Experiment and I have been going down a deep spiritual rabbit hole through my own shit. For the last hour, I have been reading all the unreleased blog posts that are currently saved in my WordPress drafts. These posts literally filled my cup all the way up. 

I recently told myself that it is time for me to consume way less of other people’s content and charge up on my own. So that’s exactly what I am doing now. 

I now realize that The Juicy Expressions is a direct link towards expanding my consciousness and embodying joy. I must continue on with what I started. Step by step, bit by bit *in my Whitney Voice. It’s really hour by hour though. -The Dopest Blogger Alive.

If you haven’t read my last blog post about how working for yourself for one hour a day can advance your mental health, you should check that out immediately after reading this post. 

Speaking of my last blog post…..

The last time I officially published a blog post on my site was  August 13, 2023.

Now, I would normally have a slew of negative thoughts judging myself, with it being over a year since I have expressed officially to my audience (excluding socials). However, that’s old energy. I am in a New Era. I am telling a new story. I am present in Winter, and I embrace the stillness, allowing myself to rest and reflect, just as the earth pauses to prepare for new growth.

Right now, where I stand, I feel so balanced. I actually feel the best I’ve ever felt about my blog energetically. 

With that being said, in this blog post, I am going to discuss:

• How I connect with my emotions in the present moment;
• The New Moon in Sagittarius Energy; and 
• A few life updates 

How I Connect With My Emotions In The Present Moment

Before I divulge into my process of being present with my emotions, one thing to remember is that everything is forever evolving, and things just take practice.

Plain and simple, it just takes repetition, baby.

Know that you are way past ignoring energy, though.

It’s time to step into it and LEARN how to allow.

Open

The

Vault

Door

and

take

a

step

towards

your

energy

in

motion.

Come on in, it’s safe here.

At first, it’s going to feel as if it is not safe for you to feel your emotions, and it’s only because your mind is going to try to create a million solutions to “problems.” Your mind may be racing at the same time as tears are falling. It just all depends. But as the release begins, the weight begins to drop, and you will have clarity and feel exactly what it’s like to let go. So again, you are safe here. Learn to drop the burdens as they are not meant for you to carry.

When people say generic things like, release things that no longer serve you.; Allow life to be easy and good for you. If you haven’t read deeper books on consciousness, or this is your first time hearing something along these lines, you probably don’t know what the fuck they are saying.

What exactly am I supposed to release? How do I know what doesn’t serve me? 

Rereading the statements above is funny af because when I first started becoming more aware, I was acting slow af when it came to knowing my own world. Think about it; everyone knows so much about other people that when it comes to our shit we act like we don’t know any of the answers to our own questions. Or we don’t inquire about ourselves at all, only projecting outward. But that’s just droveness. You do know, even if it takes a while the answer will be revealed to you.

But you must ask. 

1. Ask

I connect directly with my emotions, by checking in with me as if I am checking in with my best-friend (I am my own best-friend first and foremost). Okay how am I feeling about this? Whats the best thing for my energy right now?

Literally open your mouth and ask God (Source) (whatever name you use) “What is expired in my life?”

Questions to ask yourself.

What doesn’t feel good when I do it?

Who am I around when my energy feels low and what am I doing?

What things can I do to feel more balanced in my life?

How often do I experience joy, peace, and ease?

Questions along these lines will reveal the specifics of what you need to release. You may need to release physical things, but you can also release emotional traits.

One thing I am releasing now, is the need to be offended. Being offended takes a lot of energy from me and I am now ready to change this. Literally nothing that someone else does is personal. It’s literally not about you it’s about them. I am someone who reads alot of books on consciousness but just because I may know something intellectually does not mean I have embodied it emotionally.

It’s levels to this journey.

2. Go Sit Down.

I have been on an intentional journey of being aware of my emotions for a while, so I can go sit down for a moment and I’ll know exactly what’s up with me internally. Sometimes it takes longer than a moment, I may need to go lay down, take a quick nap or even go to bed for the day. Other times I will just go to the bathroom so that I am completely alone and I am able to focus solely on myself. Either way I seek stillness and obtain it.

Don’t ignore your energy. Listen to your body because your body knows. Seek stillness and obtain it. You are alive and you are not a robot. Start taking care of your self more deeply. You deserve it.

3. Breathe

Breathing has become a cliche answer but I don’t give af where this answer is categorized to the masses because it is the most important answer on the board. In your everyday life, you are breathing very shallowly unless you are taking time to intentionally breathe. You need to be breathing on purpose.

Take pause and try it right now. Deep Breath in holding it for 4 seconds, then release it out for 4 seconds while allowing your muscles and tension in your body to ease. You will find after some repetition that your body craves breathing. Breathing is what truly calms your nervous system. Taking deep breaths stimulates your vagus nerve which is a part of the parasympathetic nervous system which is known as the rest and digest system.

Now be honest. How often are you in a state of rest and digest? Don’t judge your answer, instead know that it is always available to you in any moment just like ease. You can not let the outside world run your internal world. Step into your emotions and create your world. You have the wand. You hold the power.

There are so many resources on breathing books, classes, live workshops, etc, because it’s that important. It’s the cliche things that we take for granted. Don’t sleep on the importance of breathing.

I have practiced some breathing techniques that now I am able to pin point exactly where my pain resides as it arise and that helps me release.

All in all, know when to leave the room, take as long as you need, and return with more clarity than before. Life is about feeling good and you learn to feel good by improving your emotions in the moment. There is no need to stay feeling stuck. Do something about it. These are just some of the simple things I do to be present with my emotions.

Have you peeked inside of your vault door? Have you taken a moment to sit with your emotions today? What treasures or truths are awaiting for you on the other side?

Does fear keep you from opening it? How can I support you in expressing what’s within? Let’s unlock it together. Share your thoughts below and let’s start the conversation.

New Moon in Sagittarius Energy

If you didn’t know because I have never shared it, I am into all the shit. (the good shit) I get real deep doing my energy work. I do chakra balancing techniques, spiritual rituals, spewing, deep imagining, praying, affirmations, mirror work, etc. I really love astrology and the moon cycles, I am forever learning more intricate details of it all.

I have been doing moon rituals since 2018, and during certain phases of the moon cycle, my intuition is deeply heightened. However, sometimes you can be faithful to something in a certain season but in another season you drop it like a bad habit. In fact, it was a good habit but you dropped it because your focus dwindled and Fear and Trauma took over the headlines. But back to the subject.

A new moon occurs when the moon is located directly between Earth and the sun, making its sunlit side face away from us. There’s a new moon every month. The new moon in Sagittarius occurred December 1st.

This new moon is bringing so much more to the surface for me to be aware of, so that I can continue to grow. I am enjoying the commitments that I have chosen in my life.

Speaking of commitments, this new moon energy is giving Divine Timing. Remeber who you are and stick to the plan. It’s giving follow through with all of your plans and do everything full out. Think of it like a performance but you are performing your best life scenario. You’re having fun, you feel joy, you choose peace because you know that everything is already yours. I’ts all for you. Your creator knows your desires but you must do your part. Trust in Divine Timing . Stick to your commitments.

I am sticking to my committments by making them plain and simple. Writing them out. Posting them any and every where. Cheering my self on, every step of the way. Make a new commitment or recommit and stick to it. One step at a time.

I choose to be healthy in all areas of my life. Wellness is my lifestyle.

The New Moon Energy in Sagittarius is bringing me tunnel vision. Tunnel vision on self mastery and staying in flow.

I have found my flow and that’s in life period. 

Flow is about releasing resistance and I have had my share of resistance in numerous areas and I recognize that resistance is on the lack side of the scale. 

Resistance and lack go hand and hand. Because when you are resisting the energy you are blocking the flow. Everything must flow and I love how it begins to flow when we choose ease and trust.

When the new moon rises, it is a great time to set your intentions.

I release straddling the fence. No more one foot in and one foot out for me. I’m all in. Ease is natural. Nature is natural. And guess what? You are nature. Everything is intertwined.

Trust only feels unnatural because of the programs that we were indoctrinated into. We were literally inducted into programs with foul ceremonies and all types of other shit. But when you arrived here as a baby you were already in trust and you didn’t have a choice. All you knew was trust.

Think of it just like that. I don’t have a choice but to trust God. That’s my only option and move like that.

I am in a state of trust and I have been through so much and I am still here.  

In the image above, the vault door doesn’t just open; it has to be unlocked and when it is unlocked, there is a strong, shining light gleaming through.

That goes back to choice. You have to choose to unlock your resistance. You get to choose ease. You get to choose light.

So my wish for you is to find the courage to unlock your vault door and step into the light waiting for you on the other side. Take some time to be still and write out your intentions. How do you want to feel? Manifesting something physical without having the emontional bandwith to enjoy it is half assed.

Life Updates: Let’s Catch up!

Life is always moving super fast for me. I have so many life updates that I want to share but many deserve their own blog post. However, I dont want to delay catching up any longer, so, here are three quick life updates to bring you up to speed.

14 Months Strong: My Breastfeeding Journey

This topic alone deserves its own blog post because, baby, I have truly been on a journey with breastfeeding. I am incredibly proud of myself. I’m happy to share that I’ve breastfed all four of my boys—some for longer than others.

I still remember being a scared, brand-new mom, nervously calling the pediatrician after leaving the hospital because my newborn son wouldn’t latch. I doubted myself and thought I could never make it beyond a year.

But with my fourth baby boy, I set a clear intention: to breastfeed for over a year and I’m so proud to say I did just that.

It is true when they say every experience is different with each child. Weaning my son off the breast was challenging af, because he was not having it.

When I went on a four-day trip to Atlanta, he had to go cold turkey without my milk. Ofcourse he eats solid food, so I wasn’t his main food source—but I am his main nurturer. Seeing his sad little face on facetime was taking me deep.

But, eventually, he adjusted and grew to let it go. When I stopped breast feeding one of my breast was so engorged and it hurt so bad for like a week and half. I literally had a lop sided titty. I am a comedian so I definitely was roasting my self while at the same time soothing my self. Nobody ever warned me about this and I’ve never experienced this shit with any of my other children.

My girls on the trip taught me about using cabbage to soften the pain. I tried it and it seemed as if it was working, but it eventually started irritating my skin. So I stopped the cabbage and thugged it out. I prayed it about and it and it eventually went back to normal. I am blessed because my breast although smaller, are back to normal and pain free.

Unlocking My Vault: A Creative Collaboration with Mike

I am too geeked to announce that I’ve officially brought Mike, my visual creative assistant, onto the team for all my videography needs! Mike isn’t new to this he’s true to this lol. He actually filmed my wedding, and now he’s helping me bring my vision to life by unlocking the vault of footage I’ve been holding onto. Releasing old footage is an emotional process so it’s good that he can do his job and cut shit right to the point.

We be going back and forth over what should be cut out and what should stay. But ultimately he holds me accountable with the overall goal, which is releasing the vault of footage. Stay tuned– exciting things are coming!

Last But Definetely Not Least….

I Am That Girl: Embodying Everything and Remembering Who I AM

Remember what I said above about being drove. Well I was drove for far too long and I am happy to be awake. Think of it like this, If you never looked yourself in the mirror, you’d eventually forget what you look like. Not looking at yourself is a quick way to forget who you are. (This goes deeper than just looking at yourself in a physical mirror)

I am now ready to look at my self in an even more deeper way than before. I am ready to be more vulnerable, to stay heart centered and be fully seen.

I am no longer afraid of change nor do I resist it. Change is inevitable. I go bravely. I have everything that I need now. I am already prepared and every tool that I’ll ever need is already in place, ready for me to grab. Access is Granted. All systems are a go. Blessings are raining down and falling into my lap.

I am stretching into change and I now understand change. Change is flow. Flow is just energy in motion. Energy is infinite, forever changing. I Alchemize. I hold my power and I Always Remember Who I Am.

What I know to be true is that I am a fucking vibe and it is a disservice for not only y’all but to me for not letting my light shine. I am designed to shine. It is my natural nature. I am taking more pictures. I am proud of myself and I am proud of my body. I have four beautiful boys and I celebrate that. I celebrate me.

I don’t know the exact point of when I stopped taking as many pictures but I am happy to be back. These were taken when I was in ATL celebrating my best friend’s Wedding. I felt so beautiful just being me, Being Present.

If you made it to the end of this post, thank you for rocking with me! Remember to keep believing in yourself and cheering yourself on every step of the way. You got this!
