All About Candace

 

If you only read three more books this year, make them:
The Molecules Of Emotion by Dr. Candace Pert (1997)
All You Need To Feel Go(o)d by Dr. Candace Pert (2007)
Candace Pert: Genius, Greed and Madness In The World Of Science by Pamela Ryckman (2023)

The books by Dr. Pert will make you familiar with her concepts and discoveries,
including that of the molecules of emotion,
if you’re not already in the know.
They will make you remember the importance of feeling your feelings and integrating them,
after which it’s equally important to consciously choose what to direct your attention towards for the betterment,
or maintenance of, your health.
How you choose to use your prefrontal cortex matters;
interrupting your own negative thought patterns is key,
as how you feel affects you down to a chemical level.

Be generous towards yourself and others. Always.

To me, the books also serve as reminders of how we are all slightly different versions of ourselves,
depending on the emotional state we are in that day.
It doesn't excuse bad behavior,
but it makes it easier to understand and forgive when someone displays a less resourceful side of themselves.
We have tons of sensory receptors which has a memory of everything we’ve ever sensed
along the afferent (sensory incoming) nerves going into the spinal cord.
This means that we are constantly experiencing “reality”
through a prism that’s unique to us.
I’ve talked about this before in my TikToks and Youtubes from a more esoteric perspective;
Candace proved the same thing a long time ago, using hard science.
We are all receivers of signals, impulses and impressions;
but these frequencies are conducted through our own filter.
That’s why it is so very important not to judge or assume, and to remain open to becoming increasingly aware of our own blind-spots, also know as shadows.

The last book on the list is a truly fascinating read about Candace by Pamela Ryckman.
It’s also available on audiobook and gives a 360 degree view of this most inspiring and sharp woman who,
like all of us, had her share of professional and personal triumphs and upsets.

 

It's hard to be an optimist, but..

Seena recording at Tuff Gong Studios, Kingston, Jamaica, August 2024

It’s hard to be an optimist, but the alternative is worse.
Through life’s ups and downs it’s allowed to fail, but it’s not allowed to give up and lose faith.
Whatever you’re going through, don’t drop your end of the rope. The universe will take care of the rest.

A Wonderful Book

,
 

Currently reading an amazing book on herbal medicine:
Asian Health Secrets - The Complete Guide To Asian Herbal Medicine by Letha Hadady D. Ac.
It was recommended to me by the best herbalist in town Dr. Frank Lin at Lin Sister Herbs (4 Bowery).
The book, as well as Chinese medicine, emphasizes the importance of looking at each individual and their current, specific energetic state when prescribing treatments, such as herbs.
We are often presented with generalized news stories and social media posts to tune of ‘ginger is good for this…turmeric is good for that’ - but the question is really:
Are those things good for YOU? Is it what your system needs now, to balance it self?
This book is a great read for anyone interested in energy medicine, as it covers the basics of Asian, and specifically Chinese, herbal medicine, which is based on energetic principles.
As you may know, Chinese medicine draws on several thousands of years of written records based on empirical evidence.

Faith Through Adversity

,
 

I’ll be releasing a beautiful slice-of-life video tomorrow
about my friend and percussionist Gary Fritz.
He’s dedicated his life to music and community;
He decided to follow his instincts,
surrender to his purpose and accept himself and his life’s circumstances.
Even when losing his only child, his daughter Nneka, to an accident.
The film is shot and edited by me and I hope it will inspire you.
