All Around You

by Anthony R. Green

This blog is a delayed one. The Castle of our Skins BLACK LOVE month was, indeed, last month, however our Kurapa Project has NOT been removed. Why? Healing is not just a month-long process! And even if one goes through a cycle of healing, that does not mean the effects last forever. One can go through the cycle constantly, and learn more and more about oneself, the world, and the process. With that - the last blog focusing on "Air - Mweya" was not published when it was supposed to be (as indicated at the end of the "Fire - Moto" post). And that is why it is appearing today - delayed, but not forgotten. With that, for today's post, keep in mind that after burning, material breaks down, and part of that process yields transformations that become part of the air we breathe.

In this last prompt, it is implied that this concept of air has many implications: what we breathe, wind, our own breath, the transformation of smoke into "something bigger" (smoke disseminating into the air). Smoke can also be used for smoke signals - a method of communication, especially amongst indigenous cultures in times of emergencies. With this, the smoke from our "moto" can be a communicative smoke that eventually settles or transforms into the air we breathe. It completes the process: from the ether, condensation of our thoughts and energies falls down into the water, feeding entities within the earth, which absorbs and grows. Refining fires separate the necessary impurities, and the rest rises into the air, eventually becoming part of the ether. And the cycle can then continue, constantly bringing healing, and affecting our environments. 

Have you incorporated Kurapa into your life? It is never too late to begin healing!
