A lot of people have said to me, “AIDS and kidney failure nearly killed you.” And I can understand how they could think that. From someone looking from the outside-in, those are life-threatening, life-ending diseases, that have wrecked horror in some people’s lives. But the truth is, AIDS and kidney failure didn’t nearly…
I AM A SOUL
I am a black/African-American-expressing soul. I am a spiritual teacher, healer, medium-expressing soul. I am a singer, actor, dancer-expressing soul. I am a male-expressing soul. I am a college educated, masters degreed-expressing soul. I am a same-gender-loving-expressing soul. All of these things make up the experience of my life, but they do not define…
A LESSON IN HEALING: Healing is about coming back to wholeness
A part of my sacred purpose is to be a healer. I have no doubt that that is part of why I’m here, that is why I came to this life experience. It gives me so much joy to help people heal themselves, and healing has been the thread of my entire life – either…
Interview with Spiritual Teacher and Intuitive Medium, Jerome Braggs
Q: How did you become an intuitive medium?
A: I’ve always had an intuitive gift, but it got stronger over time. When I was a young child, you couldn’t lie to me. I could tell what the truth was behind the story you were telling. Mainly I could tell how you really felt—like if you were sad but you were pretending not to be, or if you were hiding something. Though I didn’t know what an intuitive was back then, I did recognize I had something different about me.
"I AM ENOUGH" IS A RADICAL BELIEF
Believe it anyway.
We live in a society today that insists on constantly telling us through the messaging of our institutions that we are not enough somehow – that we will never be, do or have enough. To choose to believe otherwise, and to embrace our enoughness full on, is a radical act. And it is absolutely necessary, if we are going to live well.
Enough: [ih-nuhf] adjective
I am ENOUGH – The greatest lesson I've ever learned
One of my greatest healing lessons has been that “until I can feel enough without it, the Universe won’t give me what I want.”
It was one of the most healing things I learned, which also took me the longest to understand.–that I wasn’t waiting on my healing, my healing was waiting on me. And it was waiting on me to feel enough and lovable, without it ever having to come.
Feeling enough didn’t come easy for me. As a child, I knew I was gay when I was five years old. And the moment that I realized it, I also realized that in my family, and in my community, gay was not an ok thing to be. Iwas also bigger in size than most of my peers, had a high voice which led me to often be mistaken for a girl, and wasn’t often the subject of desire for the opposite, nor the same sex.
Haters Gonna Hate: The Price You Pay for Being Your True Self
One thing nearly dying taught me about how to really live is this: “Life deeply rewards us when we are living our truth, and being our most Authentic Self. And it doesn’t, when we don’t.” That when we commit to being the highest and truest version of ourselves by following our joy, doing what makes…
