The Breakdown: I N D I G O

Welcome back to the Indigo Trip! Although it has been over a year since I've had this page, a lot of people still ask me what the indigo trip means. I tell them that it is really your own interpretation of spirituality. One of my favorite color is indigo, not only because of its deep, midnight tone, but for the beautiful meaning behind the word.

Indigo represents deep concentration, intuition, devotion, and wisdom. I want to share my indigo (spiritual) journey and include my triumphs and tragedies. I want to point out how everything occuring in the world is interconnected physically and spiritually.

My posts can be found using the hashtag #jlabblog via Twitter and Facebook. Entries will be uploaded weekly, please continue to share and spread good energies. Enjoy the Trip!

If I Had Only...

Life can be as fulfilling as you make it. When people begin focusing on what the next person has, they miss the true treasures in their lives. You will never be satisfied if you cannot appreciate how God has blessed you. I can remember a church sermon where my pastor discussed this topic and he explained it beautifully. Two families were brought to the front of the congregation, a family of three and a family of five. The family of five lived in a six-bedroom home and the family of three lived in a two bed, one bathroom home. He compared the two families' access to resources that provided for their own needs. The pastor then asked how the family of three could be envious of the other family for having more, when both families have exactly enough for their means? Jealousy is a part of everyone’s personality. Siblings can be envious of one another and be given the exact same things. Employees can be jealous of another employee because their work is always recognized. ...

Forgive Yourself

Life is challenging but we are not put here to live in struggle. Struggle is nothing more than life lessons. There is absolutely nothing wrong with failure, we can't always come on top. When a person makes a mistake, experience teaches us. Perfection does not exist in man. There is no good in holding disappointment within yourself because everyone messes up. We are accountable for our life choices and the actions that we take, however, we can not harbor our mistakes. Consequences can be harsh but with forgiveness we have a gateway to a fresh start. For example, it is hard to live up to certain people's expectations. I have disappointed quite a few people because of the choices that I made. Self-condemnation was one of the heaviest crosses that I grew up having to bare. I could not bring myself to asking for forgiveness, nor practicing how to forgive myself. I realized that withholding my mistakes, left me stagnant. I was stuck in denial and I made it more difficult ...

The Trip: Don’t Wait to Exhale

We all get occupied by the burdensome traffic that life will throw our way. Nothing you want is handed to you. All desires take sacrifice, time, effort, and passion. What we neglect to focus on is the time that needs to be taken out for ourselves. When your focus is taken off of yourself, your life becomes unbalanced. Each component towards reaching our desires takes pieces of us until the peace within us fades out. How can a person progress when they are exhausted mentally and emotionally, and in some cases physically? The trip requires a person to be at peace with their past, present and future. Corruption is a road block and either you work around it or through it. You can’t follow a desire if you’re experiencing doubt or fear. IT JUST DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT! I learned today in church that if you focus on fearing your destiny, you will lead yourself to failure. With that being said, don’t stress… just rest! Two weeks ago, I was sent to the emergency room f...
