Using light is a powerful way in which people of African heritage can heal ourselves, our families and our communities.

You can send light into any situation. Send a beam of light from your heart to heal any wounding and resolve any conflicts. You will see amazing things begin to happen.

Bringing about Rapid Changes - Working with Light

If you are willing to try something new, explore working with light. You can bring about amazing results.

I talk about working with light in my book Success Strategies for Black People.

When we work with light, we can bring about dramatic changes in our lives. You can call light to you, imagine your body's cells glowing with light. You can bring light into any situation to improve it or to help you attract what you want.

If you are a small business owner, you can use light to attract clients or customers.

Use light in a difficult situation to resolve conflicts and bring about harmony. We can also use light to benefit those around us.

My CD for Radiant Health and Healing is also based on working with light.

For more about working with light, see The Higher Self.

Black Women, Men and Self-Hatred

I’ve been reading an article in “Essence” on Black women and self-hatred. The article states that our negativity towards each other is due partly to our conditioning, i.e. Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome. I couldn’t agree more.

But this negativity does not just affect sistas. It damages brothas too. It damages our children. Its toxic effects seep into our families.

This affects people from Africa as well – witness the use of wigs and skin-bleaching creams.

What can we do about it? My work is all about practical solutions.

Why Did He Say "Yes, We Can!"?

Why did Obama say "Yes, We Can!"?

He did not say, "I Can!"

He did not claim to be our superhero come to wave his magic wand and make all our problems disappear.

His message is very clear: We are all in this together. Each and every one of us has a part to play.

Each and every one of us is unique. To read more, see Celebrating Barack Obama.

Connecting with Our Feelings and Needs

Click here to read about Nonviolent Communication.

This is a repeat and update of an earlier post.

I read about these killings of young people, by other young people. It surely cannot be natural for children to kill.

We need to find more love in our hearts. Sorry if this sounds airy-fairy. I am talking in purely practical terms. We need to find more love and learn how to express it better or, I fear, our species is not going to survive much longer.

We can find more love. There are methods that work. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a highly effective method. I have seen the effect it has had in my own life and I am determined to help make it available as widely as possible, particularly within African Diasporic communities.

We can use NVC to help improve our communication at home, at work, at school, with partners, loved ones, and with ourselves. Nonviolent Communication is very practical and its results are exceptional. It is used by children as young as four. It is used by people all over the world, including places where there is a history of extreme violence, such as Rwanda and Burundi, Sierra Leone, and Israel and Palestine.

Creating Deep and Lasting Change

Do you want to create change at a deep level - to any area of your life - money, career, relationships, health, success?

Maybe you have been working on yourself for a while, using affirmations and visualisations, running your business.

Are you happy with your results?

Are you feeling fed up and frustrated?

You may need to go deeper, to deal with your core conditioning - also known as core programming. Find out what deeply-held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions are getting in your way, and change them.

For more information, read Change Your Life with Core Conditioning.

Success Strategies for Black People contains a very effective method for discovering and changing your core conditioning.

Self-Love: Black Hair and Skin Care
