Holistic Health Keys For Women & Liberation
By ChenziRa D. Kahina, MS, NHD, PhD
A Concise Note shared during African Liberation Month-May 2010
Holistic health and wellness for women are central to the work, vision, mission and purpose of any family, village, community and nation. Holistic retreat intensives for women support our ability to realign, restore, resurrect and harmonize our femininity through multiple healing traditions, practices and natural retreat activities that may be integrated into one’s life on a daily basis. Holistic Health for Indigenous Afrakan women includes a basic respect for sacred principles of AST (Sacred Nurturing & Compassionate Mother Principles) within our lives. AST principles represent positive feminine elements of nurturing, mothering, sacred intention, proactive natural ascension, respectful maternal and sister relationships, loyalty and energetic healing to self, family, community and nation. As an “ankh” is a “key of life”, let’s explore our holistic wellness ankhs!
Holistic Health Keys women are encouraged to embrace in our lives are:
•Assess and Know Our Body—Learn the elements of air, fire, earth and water “AFEW”
•Engage in womb nurturing and self-healing practices (“Our wombs are our wombniverse!)
•Think positive thoughts and celebrate life
•Strengthen our spiritual practices for sacred ascension (Women are sacred spiritual beings!)
•Eat wholesome foods with a positive attitude (Just leave the inorganic junk foods alone!)
•Exercise on a regular basis (Minimum 30 minutes daily!)
•Drink water to keep our body hydrated (Minimum 6-8oz glasses daily)
•Visit and celebrate nature as often as possible (When was your last seabath or nature walk?)
•Nurture positive relations with our self, life partners, family and community
•Work with a certified health care practitioner that KNOWS and LIVES in alignment with practices that support women’s wellness
•Embrace “each one teach one as each one heals one” to LIVE UP©!

E em htp, this is a wonderful post because it is a great reminder. Often time we know, but we may not practice certain ideals daily, or we get caught in the hussle of life and need some one to refresh our memories about the true purpose of why we are here. As womb-men we must preserve, strenghten, renew and heal our mind, body and spirit or we are sure to see grave imbalance in our lives that will affect our entire communities. Give thanks for this post and all that it represents. Give thanks for sisters and mothers who are our reflection and reminder on this earth path.
