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©!

MwtDrChenziRa to Present at Islands In Between Conference in Guyana Nov2010
Abstract for Islands in Between Conference in Guyana –November 2010
Abstract Title: Caribbean Women in Spoken Word, Poetry and Choreopoetry: Exploring the Works of Esther Phillips, Opal Palmer Adisa & Others
Abstract Description:
“Caribbean Women in Spoken Word, Poetry and Choreopoetry: Exploring the Works of Esther Phillips, Opal Palmer Adisa & Others” explores the fusion of culture, traditional folklore and oral tradition of poetic verse and its’ uses in chore-poetry presentations. Comparative explication of cultural literacy as expressed in poetic selections entitled “Priestess of Language” and “The Writer’s Escape” by Opal Palmer Adisa (Jamaica); “Just Riffing” by Esther Phillips (Barbados); and “Yo Recuerdo” by ChenziRa Davis Kahina (Republica Dominicana/St. Croix). The interconnectedness of the poetic and linguistical fluency shared amongst women of the English and Spanish speaking Caribbean isles will be presented and linked to the cultural affluence and revolutionary pro-activity shared amongst women writers within the Caribbean in the 20th and 21st centuries. The use of poetry for the development of choreo-poetry presentations that provide dramatic foundations for contemporary spoken word by women literary artists of the Caribbean with American, British & Spanish influences will be concisely explicated and excerpts of select cultural literary selections shared. Interrelationships amongst the themes of self-determination, freedom, liberation, tolerance, integration, peace and cultural expression will be shared in a scholarly, audio-vigital and literary manner.
