She Will Not Lose: The Indigo Trip

It is hard to witness anyone, no matter if they are close to  you or a passing stranger swirling into a downward spiral.  The idea for some is like faint embers that still chokes at their memory.  I'm familiar with two types of helpers in the world. There are people in the world who helps to the point where they walk themselves into the shoes of the other person. This group of people are nurturers , their first reaction is to extend themselves in order to piece that broken individual back together. The second group helps with a long-handled spoon. These helpers are called directors .  A director will show you where you need to go to build yourself up. This group will give you all of the knowledge, resources, and experience that they have.  Both groups of people are obliging, no one’s heart is  any bigger than the other’s. Further, no one's method is better than the other is. They are both needed for certain situations. A difficult thing...

Can you recall a moment in your life when you were searching for   church in the wild ? In life, we have the  jungle   and we have the   church . The church is a holy building but it can be taken anywhere with you because God’s Light is everywhere.    Church is a place of worship, refuge, acceptance, and most importantly, light. The jungle is the   world.   It is where self-gain and wealth is golden, when temptation becomes second nature, a place that forces you to question everything right. The jungle is a place of  manipulation  where it veils truth and feeds   lost ones   with its own version of “fulfillment”. Solange   was not the first to tip us on the ways of the world.   The Bible   tells us in Romans 12: 2,  “ Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ” ...

Let's face it, nothing in life comes easily. Balancing your professional and personal life can be exhausting. We are forced to put on masks to conform to certain environments. Stress can be a result of you running through your journey with no breaks. Sometimes it can be difficult to find peace in the midst of chaos.  When we allow ourselves to be boggled down in stress, our body begins to adjust to it.  High blood pressure, depression, insomnia, and anxiety are just a few traits that result in your body undergoing constant stress. It is so easy to adapt to the negative facets of pressure, however, discovering your own stress relievers can be extremely beneficial. Below are five beneficial ways to relieve stress:  1       Talk – Whether you are confiding to a trusted individual or a higher power, you have to vent. I have grown up learning the hard way how unhealthy it is to suppress what you are going through. I was always fearful of being judged,...

Group thinking  can drive the way society work and communicate with one another. In my lifetime I have witnessed negative group thinking that has established bias and hateful ideas about different cultures, religions, and even regions.  
 To avoid Groupthink, it is important to have a process in place for checking the fundamental assumptions behind important decisions, for validating the decision-making process, and for evaluating the risks involved. ( http://communicationtheory.org/groupthink/) We were not born to hate or to form malice against one another.  
For instance, if  you had a roommate who expressed bias opinions on the Muslim faith and their culture that does not mean you have to reflect the same behavior. You may know more and understand more. With you being more aware of Muslim customs, it is beneficial to educate your roommate instead of allowing them to continue being wrong. When people are misinformed, it makes the suggestion of trust a...

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! De'Laurenz
