Which Way Should You Go? Toward Your True Direction

Enjoy this classic by Jazz Master Horace Silver. “To find the happy medium, would help me I know….”

This is our earth, and life’s journey may call for a personal Compass for Compassion. Harriet knew to head due North. Cassie* knew to fight the incessant harm of the unfree system.

Both knew that building up stamina and capacity was necessary to transmute life’s challenges into opportunity. When we do as they did–strategize after we get the call to action–clear signs arise to point us in the right direction. Many, many generations later, we are listening to healing jazz, gospel, blues and other music to dress the wounds we have endured along the way. We persist and insist!

If we don’t get clear–“get free”–the old ways of seeing and being will be on automatic, and choose and decide for us.

If YOU are at a crossroads and cannot easily choose or decide right now, and are not expressing the passion, gifts and wisdom you were born with, it may be time to take a good look at why.

Perhaps you are blaming Mother, Father, Color, DNA, Tribe, History, Education, Race-ism as your problem. But the key to long-lasting change is there in the word compassion–identify a compass for your passion. Abiding and loving compassion for Self is absolutely necessary for loving living** and living a fulfilled life.

YOU CANNOT RISE to your next level or leap way ahead with excess cargo of heavy feelings for the past.

YOU CANNOT EXPRESS Light, brilliance or genius while hiding in isolation, hoarding guilt-blame memories, and mentally playing host to fears of success or failure.

YOU CANNOT BUILD ENERGY or MUSCLES for the LOVE TRAIN (train of thought that is The HealMobile), because noticing only the bad and the past constitutes baggage that weighs you down.

SORRY, NO CARRY-ONS! On today’s flights you have to pay extra to bring carry-on luggage aboard a plane. Similarly, excess baggage is not allowed on the higher planes of life, and the costs can be life- threatening. More important, when there is too much on the way and in the way, it is harder to discern your direction or follow guidance even if your soul is willing.

I want you to get the best tools with which to prepare and soar within your unique HealMobile lifestyle–with body-mind-spirit-emotions-relationships-community-environment all integrated into ONE.

In the U.S.A., and far beyond due to the Internet, most of us are traveling on an Overground Railroad. The Underground Railroad transported escapees from enslavement to homes, towns, and states where freedom reigned.

TO GET OUT of the underground ways of seeing and being, and get out of your own way, just stop and pause for a moment. Choose to compassionately grow a liberated sense of Self. Join me as we visualize this Overground Railroad concept together, in your life.

I am available to define your “magnetic” North through coaching, courses (visit portal), and services briefly outlined here:

Personalized Road Map with Compass Directions

• NORTH. Spiritual health assessment — this is a metaphysical map of your world using ancient, ethnocultural wisdom methods.
• SOUTH. Energy services and training — learn to identify your natural-born gifts and use them wisely (see course platform).
• EAST. Naming and Proclaiming — owning your sight, vision, perspective, being-ness (content development).
• WEST. Scribing your Life — reading and writing for the horizon (content and editorial) 
• CENTER. Engagement— consultations for speaking engagements, seminars, and group work.

Self-Assess to Qualify:

Do you wish to powerfully shift from your current location (physical or other)?

Is your insight, foresight, and 20-20 hindsight pointing to a new direction?

Are you in the position to build a national movement, like Callie’s, or lead injured folks out of captivity, like Harriet?

Would you consider a seasoned elder’s guidance to help prepare for and traverse your journey? 

If Yes is the answer to any of these questions, book a consultation with me.

To your healing grace.
