loving YOU ((lanmou))

meditation | loving YOU ((lanmou))

I am empowered to express myself, to appreciate myself and to accept myself unconditionally.
Self-love secures me and heals any discord or limited thinking.
What has gone before now is dissolved and not a part of today.
Now is my time and my turn to successfully demonstrate a greater abundance of love, health, happiness and wealth.

I facilitated the second session of Dancing Spirits: Female Lwa in Haitian Vodou, Saturday evening, in honor of Metres Ezili Freda Dahomey. You know when a workshop is scheduled 7-9pm and participants are so engrossed in sharing, affirming, honoring the love within and simply BEING until 11pm, it's something special!

We honored the Divine Feminine within.

We revealed our hurt, pain, our sacrifices, our desire to love, be loved and give love.
In abundance.
Self-love is FIRST.
No candles, magic, a petition to Freda for her to bring a man/woman into your life, perfume, offerings, Veves, etc. will simply grant a request.
What work are YOU doing as an individual to receive this love?
What are your self-care rituals?
How do you liberate your Mind. Body. Spirit?
We must shower ourselves with love, daily, unapologetically, to attract what we are reflecting from within.
It was a powerful evening that affirmed our devotion to SELF, our needs, wants and desires.

Self LOVE + Care | sweet bath preparation
Spiritual baths are important in Haitian Vodou

Together, we created a bath to bring in sweet, juicy goodness!
Each bath was personal as each participant brought pink/white flowers of choice, perfume, and a self love affirmation to meditate on while preparing the bath.
A special milky concoction that smelled divine, prepared my myself was added to the mixture.

This is Vodou!
