A good relationship is when someone accepts your past, supports your present and encourages your future.

And now, we have another episode of ASK TEAL.



Video Description taken from Youtube:

Today's Ask Teal episode is about: Sickness.
From an energetic perspective, illness is a toxicity crisis. It occurs when a person has been focused negatively, and that negative focus causes the energy flow through the body to become restricted. The buildup of that largely low vibrational energy causes a cascade of events to manifest physically, such as a shrinking thymus gland, which leads to an impaired immune system. This buildup of low vibrational energy that is not flowing causes the body to not being able to rid itself of the toxins that are normally filtered out through the body. Because this in turn causes the cells in the body to weaken and start to die, this environment becomes the perfect environment for bacteria and viruses to thrive. They are opportunists. And thus, infection occurs. Once the body's tolerance level for toxicity is reached, you start to see symptoms crop up like pain and mucous build up, sneezing and vomiting and fevers. These symptoms are the result of the body stimulating the organs of elimination and the immune system to move into defense mode. Unless you eliminate the factors that led up to this buildup of toxicity in the first place, they will accumulate gain and you will experience another toxicity crisis (in other words, you will get sick again). Healing requires that we
1. Trust in your body and in yourself
2. That you have profound conviction that you deserve to be healthy
And remember don't go back to doing what you were doing before you got sick. Sickness always means there needs to be a change in the way you were thinking and the things you were doing before you reached the healing crisis that we call "illness". The faster you can change or eliminate those underlying factors, the faster you will heal and not suffer a recurrence. In this video, Teal shares some suggestions for what to do when you get sick so that you can consciously enable your body to get well quickly.

Today is the 3rd day of Kwanzaa.

For those who don't know what kwanzaa is, it was established in 1966 by Ron Karenga.

Kwanzaa aims to reconnect black Americans to their African roots and recognize their struggles as a people by building community. It is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 annually.

Derived from the Swahili term, “matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first-fruits,” Kwanzaa is based on African harvest celebrations such as the seven-day Umkhost of Zululand. Kwanzaa was created out of the philosophy of Kawaida, which is a cultural nationalist philosophy that argues that the key challenge in black people’s lives is the challenge of culture, and that what Africans must do is to discover and bring forth the best of their culture, both ancient and current, and use it as a foundation to bring into being models of human excellence and possibilities to enrich and expand our lives.”

Just as many African harvest celebrations run for seven days, Kwanzaa has seven principles known as the Nguzo Saba. They are: umoja (unity); kujichagulia (self-determina tion); ujima (collective work and responsibility) ; ujamaa (cooperative economics); nia (purpose); kuumba (creativity); and imani (faith). During Kwanzaa celebrations,a mkeka (straw mat) rests ona table covered by kente cloth, or another African fabric. On top of the mkeka sits a kinara (candleholder) in which the mishumaa saba (seven candles) go. The colors of Kwanzaa are black for the people, red for their struggle, and green for the future and hope that comes from their struggle. “The principles of Kwanzaa and the message of Kwanzaa has a universal message for all people of good will. It is rooted in African culture, and we speak as Africans must speak, not just to ourselves,but to the world.

Now to be honest, I've NEVER celebrated kwanzaa in my life, and most black people I know have never celebrated it either, so I'm by no means an expert on Kwanzaa. However, if you want to know more what Kwanzaa is about, I've posted 2 You Tube videos below which covers that subject in a pretty thoroughly.

Once we understand that we are dreaming, knowledge doesn't control our faith anymore. Instead, the opposite happens: our faith controls our knowledge.
