Peace and Abundance, Ankhora family!

Welcome to Ankhora's biweekly nurturing of the sacred trinity - mind, body, and soul. In each newsletter we intend to bring you a dose of inspiration, wisdom, and practices to enhance your well-being within those three major layers of life.

Unity, as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary, is the state or quality of being one or united into a whole. At this time, it is vital to find your tribe (or allow your tribe to find you) and become more community-based like our ancestors. It is vital to surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share the same values and visions as you for the world in which you want to see. Commonly, societal programming is geared to tear us apart and constantly divide us, it is only because “they” know we are more powerful when we are all on the same accord.

We are strong individually, but we are unstoppable when we come together. To give a personal perspective, over the past 5-7 years or so I have made several efforts to implement my own guidance by forming different groups such as ‘The Collective’, which was a group of entrepreneurs from various professional fields. The Most High had different plans for me though; that was not the time for me to work within a group based on how things panned out. That was a time for me to continue to work on myself and my purpose alone, which became clear and embraced after some time.

Now, I feel that pull to get back to working with those like-minded people who are able to compliment my strengths as I can compliment theirs. It is important to know yourself and know what you do well, in addition to areas where you could use some help. Groups and communities are much more harmonious when it’s individuals are aligned with their gifts and talents, allowing each person to thrive at what they are naturally good at. We aren’t meant to be stepping on each other’s toes and doing things that are out of alignment. Everyone has talent(s) and it is up to the leader of the group to make sure every person is working in and maximizing that talent for the best function of the group.

It is great to have a competitive spirit in regards to wanting to be the best at what you do individually, but when working collectively there is no need for competition. When examining the people who are most successful, they are not competing with others, they are collaborating and focusing on building, while doing the best job they can. What the Most High has in store for you is for you; comparison is the thief of joy, so focus on your own plate.

There may come a time in the future where we are forced to work together, so it is always good when we come together naturally instead of when we are forced. Mother Nature is not playing right now; you can see examples of what I am speaking of when thinking about how people have been forced to work together after hurricanes or wildfires that have caused mass destruction to certain areas. Race, color, gender, and all that typically has divided humanity goes out the window in times of need. As we move into higher states of consciousness collectively, this is that time of need.

Mindful Alignment:

  • Mental Gem: Your inner peace is your greatest source of resilience.

  • Mindful Moment: Mirror Affirmations: Stand in front of a mirror and say a positive affirmation aloud, looking yourself in the eyes. Repeat until you feel its truth resonating within you.

Physical Alignment:

  • Herbal Spotlight: Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi, is revered in Ayurvedic tradition for its stress-relieving and adaptogenic qualities. Known to help balance cortisol levels, it supports a healthy stress response, promotes mental clarity, and uplifts mood. Additionally, Holy Basil contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that can benefit overall immune function. It’s commonly used as a tea or supplement, making it a go-to herb for those seeking gentle, daily support in managing stress and boosting well-being.
