August IS African Heritage Month and this August, 2020, we are changing our focus.
PositivEnergyWorks connects health with culture and this month let's look at your health from that perspective....Let's change our legacy by changing our old conditioned responses, biases, and heightened fears that tense us, bringing our stress up and our health down. Let's look at what changes, we can make, even, if just a little. Clearly, our health is our responsibility. You may live in a food desert, but you can make the simple choice of not buying empty-nutrient, sugary sweet, pastry daily, right? So, here at PositivEnergyWorks, I am changing our focus so that we can better help us all work on our conditioned responses. For many years, I.ve focused on generalized breathing applications but, I.m. now re-focusing my efforts on what I know will maximize our health. I.ve been studying it, speaking on it, and writing about it....racism is at the root of the stress related dis-orders, affecting all of our health. Join me in my new focus of offering solutions for stress management through breathology/breathwork applications for race-based trauma release with tools to un-pack un-conscious bias. We are also shifting away from coaching to group training and certifications. Last, due to Covid-19, all of our services/presentations are VIRTUAL now, until further notice. In this month of August, as we honor our Ancestors, I truly affirm that this shift in my work, will be pleasing to their legacy. Join me on August 22, in my introduction to Breath Circles for Racial, Diversity and Gender Healing. let's allow the truth to set us all free - that racism is a sickness and that we must heal it to be free of our greatest "stressor".

I so agree ALL FORMS OF SEPARATION,DISCRIMINATION AND OPPRESSION MUST BE WORKED ON, RELEASED AND HEALED in order to RAISE OUR VIBRATIONS AND LIVE IN PEACE, HARMONY AND BALANCE. I use this quote from article in Port of Harlem. " Looking at Power: Male Privilege/Heterosexual PrivilegeBy Wayne A. Young: "...To learn how to dismantle the systems of oppression, Moore states that at the White Privilege Conference participants learn not only about White supremacy, but the other systems of oppression including whom society labels superior and inferior. Featherston likes his tactic, "the opportunity to challenge the process of oppression is lost unless a society begins to recognize the connection between the groups of people that it labels superior and those it labels inferior." (See Common Types of American Oppression)..."
