Fears that prevent full root chakra functioning:  Fear of annihilation for being oneself.  Things being out of control.  Lack of trust.  Abundance issues.

Physical dysfunction when root chakra is unbalanced: Chronic lower back pain, sciatica, depression, immune system dysfunction, varicose veins.

Exercises to balance first chakra: Yoga Postures: Knee to chest (Apanasana) or Bridge Pose (Setu Bhandasana).  

Jogging and/or jumping up and down.

Resting/sleeping

Massage

Eating proteins (helps with grounding)

Shout out to the Black women doing the emotional labor, the housework, the childcare, and cooking, that actually makes the world go round.❤️

Call a Black woman up, tell her what she means to you. Buy some dinner. Get some nails done. Oil a scalp. Sing Cater2U. Bring icecream

Black women have always transcended the norms & structures of society to sustain and protect their families. 

Shout out to the Black women who build family structures that aren’t validated by this anti-Black misogynist cis hetero patriarchal society.

Black women work to build our families and to be providers alongside men, despite the constant threat of white supremacy and patriarchy.

“It was important for me to complete another set of pictures with my daughter because of the life lessons and edification that stem from seeing and learning about other black women,” Chauncia, a freelance writer and editor, told For Harriet.

It’s an amazing way to teach your kid about black history, about outstanding black women in History of America. These women have influenced our culture, our future and they need to be acknowledged. All of them represent a variety of career fields,each one of these women have an interesting story to tell. This is important. And it’s even more important for black kids to know these stories and to learn something from them.

“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”

Gemini: Either sweet and shy or outgoing and argumentative. Loves to talk about their passions and ideas, very open minded. Very detached but loves to love.

Virgo: Detached but loves very much. Thinks of other people before themselves but likes to talk about themselves a lot. Huge dorks, have watched probably every sci-fi show/movie you can name. Good person to tell your secrets to, they will love you through anything.

Libra: Quiet but sociable. Doesn’t like their private life to be known or mouthed about. Their mind is always somewhere else, always thinking up scenarios. Cutest people to be friends with, will always have your back.

Scorpio: Intense and likes to come off as complicated but really isn’t. Wants to be loved and wants to love. Can be mean if they’re nervous or if you’re being rude. Don’t hold grudges but pretend they do. Mysterious because nobody really asks them about themselves. Very awkward and loving when you crack their shell. Will love you forever no matter how dirty you do them.

Sagittarius: Subconsciously problematic. Likes the thrill of things they aren’t supposed to do and are usually attracted to people they wouldn’t expect. Is a huge dork, loves to talk about art and music and passions. Will lie to cover you up, will sneak you out at 3 in the morning. Great friends, never give up on you.

Capricorn: Likes to pretend everything is okay , likes when other people are happy. Very thoughtful and generous and remember little things about you. Kind-hearted but have an evil side. Lowkey brats when they don’t get their way. Very easy to love, funny and loving people.

Aquarius: Big weirdos. Very awkward and usually tall. Have long limbs which makes them even awkwarder. Love music with a passion and want harmony. Very accepting and always there for you to talk to. Takes them a while to get comfortable but will love you like nobody else. Can get annoying but just want you to know they care.

Pisces: Sweetest most open minded sign. Love very hard even if you do them dirty. Loves to show affection and shower you in love even when they can’t afford it or think the relationship is going wrong. Blames themselves for a lot of things, feels like they have no one to talk to but let’s everyone know they’re always there. You can tell them anything and they’ll hold your hand through it. Loving and compassionate.

Do not be afraid to ask someone "do you like me?"...."is this going anywhere?"...."is this just going to be a sexual thing?...etc.

Do not help someone waste your time. Speak up.

Saving 20 odd dollars a week by not going to Dunkin Donuts for coffee isn’t going to help when the working poor’s real problem is worrying about being able to still make rent if they miss work due to the flu, so let’s stop pretending like this “junior piggybank savers/guilt the poor out of simple comforts” technique is a viable solution to the problem of stagnating wages and skyrocketing living costs.
