Rebirthed Above Ground: An Interview with Navasha Daya
It has officially been one year since the launch of the Living in the Light blog. I am so grateful for each and every one of you who has followed my spiritual journey over the past year, and for those of you that are new to the site. I appreciate all of the encouragement along […]
You Can’t Reap What You Don’t Sow
I was watching the movie The Lorax with my sons the other day, and have not been able to get the theme song out of my head. One of the lines in the song goes, “You can’t reap what you don’t sow.” As many times as we have watched the movie, I never focused on […]
Judgment-Free Challenge
When I got serious about walking in integrity with my spiritual path, the most difficult habit for me to release was judgment of others. I frequently had thoughts about what others should and shouldn’t be doing, and I freely shared them with all who would listen. These thoughts and comments came to me just as […]
3 Tips for Awakening the Power Within
For many years, my spiritual “practice” consisted solely of attending church, reading inspirational books, and praying from time to time. While there is nothing wrong with these things, doing them alone did not make me feel any closer to God in my day-to-day experience. Let’s just say, I was far from seeing the Christ in […]
Clearing Negativity from Social Media
Time and time again, I hear people complain about negativity in their social media feeds. These rants typically include something like, “I need to clear some negative people from my friends list” or “Why do people post all of their business on Facebook and/or Twitter?” I used to find myself making these same comments, and […]

3 Tips for Releasing Anger Quickly
Just over one year ago, I was harboring so much anger, resentment, self-hatred, guilt, frustration, and blame that I had an emotional breakdown. I was frustrated with work. I was annoyed with my son who was acting out on a regular basis. I was holding grudges against those who I felt wronged me in some […]
Entering the Silence
Happy new year, everyone! It’s so good to be back to writing here again. As I mentioned in my last entry, I went on a 4 day/3 night silent meditation retreat to bring in the new year. It was so incredibly powerful that it’s worth spending this entire entry on it. After the retreat, I […]
From Stress to Peace: 3 Simple Tips for Daily Living
The chorus from the song “Respiration” by Blackstar came to mind this morning as I had a flashback to the cycle of stress I was trapped in just one year ago. I used to go to sleep and wake up with so much on my mind that it was hard for me to focus throughout […]
A Lesson from the Ancestors
Over the past couple weeks, I have felt overwelmed by the Spirit of the ancestors. Almost daily, information has been rushing my way that led me to revisit some of the earlier historical appearances of the spiritual principles that have become so mainstream. The information that I was guided to review was primarily focused on Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) Spirituality and African-American spirituality during slavery and the […]
