Examining  Race & Racism....WOMEN

5/29/2020

0 Comments

 

In my research and while talking to some most well respected social justice advocates (the white ones) I discovered, like most things- many people need to see it to believe it exists and it is through their *Shock* of actually seeing racism without anything getting in the middle...that examining happens. So here we are, in the middle of a pandemic seeing it.... 

Madam Toni Morrison, her moral superiority runs supreme. She has what people spend decades trying to get. She has a level of compassion and you can hear it. In this video, she corrects Charlie, letting him know he's asking the wrong question. The right question is: How do you feel? She distinguishes between the white person who doesn't understand and the white person who is examining. She isn't speaking to the white person who is examining. She's speaking into those who feel they don't have anything to examine. 
In terms of expanded consciousness, my own examining and my deep commitment to women and women's health issues. Her words resonate with me. There is a softness in the space between me and younger men as they know they are safe to share their relationship woos with me... I will come back to racism..... just hold on please....



THE WILLINGNESS TO EXAMINE 

As I take my time to move slowly through the book "Women Who Run With The Wolves," I had a conversation with a very sweet young man in his twenties and an older man who has taken him under his wing to help him make the journey, holding him in his rite of passage toward basically, learning to hold his own shape and own his own space with dignity and respect. Much of the time, the beauty in my life right now is many people refer to me as some kind of relationship guru (which I am not) and other expressions. As I was listening to this young man go on and on regarding this woman whom he was in a deep connection with and she rocked his world, turning him inside out and upside down, he mentioned "I never know a woman could be so mentally ill, so devious, so malicious. It was almost as if he was completely traumatized and it was the most adorable thing I have witnessed in a very long time.  His shock and dismay was visible. As the conversation progressed when I said "Well YOU are one of those mixed messages dudes, you are causing your own problems!" This young man busted out in laughter as the older man shook his head and said "His mother told him the same thing." In the conversation he mentioned his desire is to be seen and known and loved because he has never had that before. Yet, what he really means is...because he has had that with his mother......he wants to be fully seen, known and loved by a woman who is not his mother. In this beautiful space....he's just a young man who is just now examining who he is and what he wants and through it..he's growing organically, being held by an older, wiser man who wants to see this young man shine. Shining through the doorway of seeing himself clearly, waking up, being accountable, recognizing...he's not nearly as perfect as he thinks he is. This means he is being held by an elder in a very real way. He can barely tolerate learning the fullness of a woman. When we talked about the book I am currently reading, I commented "This book is not for you, you wouldn't be able to handle it" and he really wouldn't. He's not ready and he's not alone by any stretch of the imagination. Madam Toni Morrison is speaking into that exact knowing. There is nothing inside of me that wishes to beat that young man up for where he is in his development.  What we want is for him to remain inside of examining so he may get to a place where he can have what he wants without all those man games that do not and will not serve him in any way, shape or form. His kindness and his softness has a lot of hidden control and is loaded with tremendous levels of mixed messages. Yet his shock and his focus on her behavior is blowing his mind. We don't have to worry about him because he has an elder who will hold him to account while also holding his greatness with patience and awareness that he is on the path.....
There was a moment between the younger man and his elder brother. The younger man was caught in that men against women thing, he reached out to his elder to get that manly high five. The elder man shook his head "No, I am not giving you a high five for that." 
In certain locker room cultures, this man's "no" would be deemed him being a coward and going against the man code, causing the young man supposed "humiliation" but the truth is, his willingness to want more for this young man than to promote him hating women and therefore creating a harder life for himself, is what I would call a much bigger love than anything taught in the locker rooms. 

His mother "You are sending mixed messages" His elder brother who wants more for him "No, I am not giving you a high five for that" This young man is being well held. His growth is supported full out. 

Now back to Racism and accepting the invitation that Madam Morrison is offering white people which is a level of generosity that only those who have supreme moral authority have the power to offer.....The invitation is to examine.... 

DIGGING DEEPER and not being afraid of the harder things

Picture

Let the examining begin. To help....Here is a wonderful Ted Talk that allows those harder most unpleasant feelings room to breath so we can examine.....

 As a member of the Association of Transformational Leaders, she has been recognized for her thought leadership and influence in personal development. Dr. Rosenberg has been featured in the documentaries “I Am”, “Pursuing Happiness”, & “The Hidden Epidemic” w Dr. Daniel Amen. She’s been seen on CNN’s American Morning, the OWN network, and PBS, as well as appearances and radio interviews in all of the major metropolitan media markets. A California-licensed psychologist, Dr. Rosenberg speaks on how to build confidence, high self-esteem, core emotional strength, and resilience; achieving emotional, conversational, and relational mastery; integrating neuroscience, psychotherapy, and supervision; and suicide prevention. An Air Force veteran, she is a professor of graduate psychology at Pepperdine.

"STAY PRESENT, STAY FULLY PRESENT, YOU CAN DO IT, WE CAN ALL DO IT" (and she gives people an actual workable formula!!!!!!!!!) 

Now that there is no shaming for being wherever we are and allowing those unpleasant feelings to move us into freedom.....It changes the game. 

Picture

Looking within, my own story, my own history....babies, boys to men and a moment with my own son.......

​“Mom, I can’t breath”

When a football player punched him in his throat during a football game. He couldn’t breath and I could see that he couldn’t breath from a distance 

If you know the rules of football, there is no such thing as throat punching. It's not hockey. 

And all the men said to me “don’t do it, DO NOT go out there...don’t “humiliate him” Gosh how horrifying for his MOTHER to run out on the field. WE NEED HIM TO LOOK GOOD. Worst thing in the world you could do is care about your own son.

And everything inside of me said...

I'm going... My son can't breath, I'm going. 

So that’s what I did.

My son was not at all humiliated.


He was genuinely scared. The look in his eyes, how he reached for me. The whisper/tone of his voice “Mom, I can’t breath” I can’t even imagine not being there for him in that moment. Like you want me to not show up?
To just sit on the sidelines and oh well, at least I didn’t humiliate him.

To cause the illusion that I, his mother would humiliate my own son...and I should just sit back and allow him to "man up" this moment came up for me very vividly when I witnessed the video of George Floyd as we can see, hear and absolutely feel it when he speaks up "I can't breath"

Accepting the invitation to examine.....
Picture
Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another

Toni Morrison



Allowing the elders to heal you, even if you are an elder......it's never too late.....


Another way to heal would be to use this Pandemic time to watch one of the most beloved T.V. shows: THIS IS US. Let Jack heal you as he has been healing many old school, old time fathers move into seeing their son's fatherhood as "better than theirs."  
POWERFUL SIBLING SHUT DOWN FOR NATURAL GIFTS THAT SHOULD NOT BE SHUT DOWN FOR ANY REASON 

Shinning light takes guts, it takes humility, it takes being willing to be in those hard moments, hear the feed back and move UP

Let those uncomfortable feelings help you create a better life for yourself.....

​Just a suggestion,,,
Intentional Self Care
Cleanse
Clarity
Innovation

Repeat.... see what you see, know what you know from the place of your own body, mind and heart....

The Brass Brassiere: Women's Natural Rhythms

5/18/2020

0 Comments

 

DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOUR VERY FIRST BRASS BRASSIERE DEVELOPED? I DO 

Picture
​I put on my very first brassiere when I was 13 years old. Under the umbrella of being the highly daughter after babysitter on our street. I was always babysitting!!! And when the children were supposed to be sleeping...they would do all these things to not sleep. I took my role as babysitter very seriously and in not wanting their parents to come home and see that I didn’t have what it took to put their children to sleep at the time they instructed me, I would say all the time “Don’t come back down stairs unless it’s an emergency” and I would give them emergency examples. Because there was this one little boy named Bobby, gosh he was always finding creative fake emergencies just to get my attention.

Unless your sick or dying, you must sleep.

And that is the story of my very first brass brassiere as it developed. Parents were not going to trust me with their little humans if I wasn’t able to do something as simple as hold sleep time. (Per my 13 year old brain) 🧠  

​Here is a passage/Book excerpt from Women Who Run With Wolves:

Picture




“The aggravated theft of the sealskin also occurs far more subtly through the theft of a woman’s resources and of her time......

The world is lonely for comfort, and for the hips and breasts of women.

It calls out in a thousand-handed, million-voiced way, waving to us, plucking and pulling at us, asking for our attention.

Sometimes, it seems that everywhere we turn: there is someone or a something of the world that needs....wants.....or wishes.




DEVELOPING THIS NEXT AWARENESS AND CULTIVATING SELF CARE AS AN ENERGETIC REMEDY IS WHERE WOMAN'S GUIDE COMES IN HANDY: 


Though we may see that the skin can be lost through a devastating and wrong love, it may also be lost in a right and deepest love.
It is not exactly the rightness of a person or thing or it’s wrongness that causes the theft of our soul skins, It is the cost of these things to us.
It is what it costs us in time, energy, observation, attention, hovering, prompting, instructing, teaching, training. 

Don't be afraid to put on, add, handcraft, or to make your own 

​BRASS BRASSIERES

To be able to give those people, places and things you love- your fullness without being drained, requires a few things

Christina's Second Spring: 3 to 5 Varieties of spices: is the spice of LIFE spice simplistic theory

Natural Rhythms weekly phases and stages... It's just me, therefore I don't have the need or the thrill of adding spices to add to what others may or may not like. One week it could be all about the 5 Chinese Spice combo of

cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise & Orange Peel 
​(for me)

Right now... it's all about 



Coriander Seeds

According to a research done by the California University of Ayurveda, coriander seeds are quite effective in curing different skin ailments like eczema, itchy skin, rashes and inflammation as they have antiseptic properties. They are known to cure mouth ulcers and sores as well.


Black Pepper
It helps the free flow of oxygen to the brain, helps enhance digestion and circulation, stimulates the appetite, and helps maintain respiratory system health and the health of the joints. Black pepper is a warming spice and contributes the pungent taste.



Rosemary 
known for its medicinal properties and can be used to alleviate pain, boost immunity, improve memory and even promote hair growth.



Now I have this combo for anything...including a wonderfully bold flavored cup of tea....

Christina’s Second Spring: mung bean turmeric crust cheese & honey…

Split mung beans, the orange ones-you do not have to soak over night like the whole green mung bean.

I just use a half a cup of Mung beans in 3/4’s cup of water and blend and you just make it as if you are making a pancake.

Once your mung bean pancake is cooked. That is your crust.

You can add any spices you want to the blend.

Whatever pizza top choices that work for you is good.

I like the cheese and honey blend. Organic raw honey is best for me

This pizza caused me to have to blow my nose. What that means is...it got the toxins out before the toxins got me. I really love that about this pizza.

Christina's Second Spring: shiitake mushroom broth with or without rice

5/11/2020

Organic bone broth is one of my favorites. Vegans can use vegetable broth but I am looking for the actual benefits inside the bones  Making fish bone broth is the easiest and least time consuming yet roasting any bones in the oven before making the broth sets things right. 


Shiitake mushrooms because they contain many chemical compounds that protect your DNA from oxidative damage, 


Broth of choice. 
Shiitake Mushrooms ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is its own goodness.

Yet I have added rice. 

And if you want to take it up a notch for flavor and to have something with a creamer texture while also wanting a little fat for well lubricated things... you can just add a teaspoon or a tablespoon of Christina’s Second Spring Secret Fat Sauce which you can find by clicking this button. 
This add in of the fat tastes incredible!

USING SNAPCHAT INSTEAD OF HAVING SNAPCHAT USE YOU

5/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture

My newest experiment/daily ritual is using Snapchat as a way to play, feel, think, imagine, laugh, create and remain in touch with my own natural rhythms. 

The way to play without having something play you is to form an intention that is yours and because it is yours, because it belongs to you, you intended this...and because it feels good...you will do it. 

People need tools sometimes and this one is one of those free tools that anyone with a device can access...

Picture
Picture
Picture
However, you have to be willing to not care what other people think of you in order to live your life in accordance with all the things that make or have the power to move you back up the tone scale of feeling good.

You can opt to do it in secret and sometimes life, circumstances, phase and stages in our lives is such that harmless ways of assuring that we feel good As we endure, knowing we have agency and why we are doing what we are doing ...helps us cultivate self trust.

There are a lot of forces that want us to not trust our own natural Rhythms. That shame us for our heartbreaks and triumphant small and big wins.

Life should be lived fully.

Just thought I’d bring in a little conscientiousness Into the mix.

No one who means a lot to me, (the people in my every day life) is ever neglected by my Natural rhythm rituals.
In fact, when I add snap-chat to play with some of my senior friends.....they smile and laugh and they love feeling that joy moving through them.

What makes or breaks any tool we women decide to use:  What makes it something that connects us or if it disconnects us is all about -our intention and our willingness to be mindful on its purpose in our lives. 

Additionally, it is my intention to be close to my friends twin girls and during this pandemic when I can't be with them, the girls get daily video's of their Aunt "Sissy" that causes them to feel good when they see me. When we are able to facetime, they know who I am when they see me and they jump right into play with me and show me all of their sides. It is wonderful. 

Sadly though, this snapchat thing is currently a "turn-off" for men who view this activity as the sign or the indicator of a "selfish woman" I am okay with that, I just stay away from those types of man humans. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
The above were so fun for me to see. First of all, I would never die my hair blue but it was so fun to see and pretend and play in that. The second image is what I would look like if I got my nose reconstructed. That one freaked me out so much. I don't look real to myself. I didn't like it. The third one where I am playing into being grandmother, I really loved that one. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
. These were super fun. The first one I am playing into being mad. The second one I am some kind of singer/artist and it's just not one of my priorities but it sure was fun to play. The third one I may like the most (I'm just kidding) I like that it says -stay away from me because I do not want your unwanted attention. 
What I personally like about this game that I play or this ritual that I practice is that I am not hurting anyone. No humans are being hurt by my loving myself enough to do the things that make me feel good so I can do all the things to make other people feel good too. 

So this is just an idea and it's an invitation....with caution in realizing it takes a lot of courage to love yourself in a world that doesn't always want a woman to feel good about herself..... but my guess is, many of you who are reading this...already know that...



The invitation:  Take what resonates with you, do what you want with it and ignore what is not workable in your reality. You are free, always. It’s your life, your moments, your heart, your family.    
Much Love,
  Christina Marie

Waste NOT....Want NOT! 
(What does that even mean?) haha
​
PROVERB
If you use a commodity or resource carefully and without extravagance you will never be in need.

Picture

What to do with the extra spices that I have already taken the time to pinch and grind? I will just add them in my lab to develop a new experiment

You can click the link to get those spices or if you have made the beach fries (minus the bay seasoning) using your own seasonings...even better! Food should be to your liking

CHRISTINA'S SECOND SPRING: BEACH FRIES

OTHER SAUCE INGREDIENTS 

​mayonnaise
honey
Wasabi

Added to pasta with a protein and you got yourself a solid meal that can be eaten hot or cold! The flavor is unique and amazing! Plus, this offered me three meals after walking/swimming and doing the things....

Picture
If you are in a different stage of your womanhood and the fat in organic pure may is not what you want or need at this stage of your physiological life.. The following varieties all have just 35 to 50 calories per tablespoon, with less than1 gram sugar and 0-1 grams of saturated fat:
  • Hellmann’s Light
  • Blue Plate Light
  • Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo with Olive Oil
  • Spectrum Light Canola Mayo
  • Veganaise Reduced Fat Mayo
  • Kraft Flavored Mayo (e.g. Hot & Spicy and Chipotle)

Although fats have had a bad rap for a few decades, modern medicine has begun to see the importance of good quality fats in the diet. Ayurveda, however, has been using fats not only as a healthy part of a balanced diet but also as a powerful herb and spice vehicle for thousands of years! The utilization of fats in this way is called an anupan. Fats such as ghee, sesame oil, coconut milk, and cow’s milk are recognized as anupans and are valued for their ability to carry herbs and formulas deeper into specific tissues.

A woman in mid-life is a VATA time of life.... By not getting enough fat in my diet, I ended up with this strange dry elbow thing.  A vata imbalance typically shows up on skin. My skin is literally telling me Oops, you are forgetting me... Sorry skin...I'm still learning about my own second spring experience....

It is going away now.... naturally....

Christina's Second Spring: Chocolate Pastry Emergency Kit

5/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Once upon a time.... I used to love that Sunday morning cappuccino with my most favorite warm chocolate croissant. The goal there was what one of Yale University's most famous class "The Science of Happiness" simple formula's for happiness is. Are you ready for it? It's so simple it might blow your mind

One of the formula's for happiness (based on the science)

SAVORING + GRATITUDE = HAPPINESS
I'd sit on that bench with the refusal to use a napkin to clean my face after every bite because I just wanted to savor the entire thing from start to finish. That was me in the practice of what it means to savor and I was pretty grateful for it. Often walking home to discover I had chocolate on my nose or on my cheek and that would tickle me when I would see it in the mirror.
That worked until my peri-menopause shifted. There are phases inside the phases. Right now I am re-introducing (Slowly) some of the things I gave up fully. I think women deserve to know and understand peri-menopause is a phase and a transition and an opportunity and once they have a better handle on who they are and how their body works, they can begin to re-introduce foods on occasion and in emergency situations. See how they feel before during and after and decide for themselves.
​
Step 1-find the perfect dough recipe for you
Step 2- select the perfect dark chocolate that you like
Step 3-select the perfect spices that you like (My selection is Chinese 5 spices) 
Create your emergency kit and use a little at a time....during emergencies...

It's that simple..
Yet, I highly recommend the formula of
​Savoring + Gratitude =Happiness as an added benefit

ANGER AS A HUMAN EMOTION AND WOMEN

5/9/2020

0 Comments

 


THE POWER OF A WOMAN'S ANGER
TED TALK WITH MADAM SORAYA CHEMALY

Anger is a signal emotion. It warns us of indignity, threat, insult and harm. And yet, in culture after culture...anger is reserved as the moral property of boys and men. 

There are differences... 

so what if we didn't do that? What if we didn't "Severe" anger from femininity? Because severing the emotion of anger means severing girls and women from the emotion that best protects us from injustice

What happens is indignity becomes eminent in our notions of femininity. There's a long personal and political tale....

In anger we go from being spoiled princess's, spoiled teens to high maintenance women and shrill ugly nags. We have flavors though, pick your flavor

Are you a spicy hot Latina when you are mad?

Or a sad Asian Girl?

An Angry Black Woman?

Or a Crazy White One?

You can pick but in fact, the effect is: That when we say what's important to us, which is what anger is conveying...people are more likely to get angry at us for being angry.....



“All creatures must learn that there exist predators. Without this knowing, a woman will be unable to negotiate safely within her own forest without being devoured. To understand the predator is to become a mature animal who is not vulnerable out of naivete, inexperience, or foolishness.”
