Day 24 — Soma+IQ Breathwork Today’s prompts landed deeper after my recent discoveries: • What do you want to embody? • What do you want others to feel from you? • What are you carrying that isn’t yours? During a Compassion Key 1-on-1 yesterday, I was reminded of an experience of being pulled through a plasma-like grid of collective memory—everyone’s memories and soul-fragments marked by violence. Meeting the dissociated aspect hiding in total terror was both shocking and liberating. I realized I’d been unwittingly carrying collective anguish, torment, and pain in my body-mind field. It showed me how the body can keep living from the past—pulling me out of the present moment—and how, with awareness, I can help the parts held in fear remember the light they are and invite my soft, sensitive heart—once shadowed—back in. I share this in case it brings insight and helps others recognize and release what isn’t actually theirs. As I integrate more, my breaths are landing more fully. Regulation of my autonomic nervous system is getting easier, presence is steadier, and it feels simpler to be the me I came here to be. “Shadow work” has taken on new meaning. I am now able to more lovingly inventorying the skeletons in my closet and welcoming them home. This wholistic integration feels real and deeply fulfilling. Onward and upward. :) 🌿💎🔥💛

@Nadeem Al-Hasan I'm grateful for your support as I navigate these experiences

Your music is medicine, DurgaMata. The way you held those two souls—with song, presence, and even a warm coat—moved me deeply. I’m relearning the faith I knew as a child, after disappointments and ruptures, and your story reminds me that love is a practical force. Thank you for proving that “small” acts aren’t small at all. It also breaks my heart that in a world this abundant, people still sleep in the rain and children die of malnutrition. Until our systems truly serve everyone—not just the people on the payroll—acts of kindness like yours are the bridge. As you said, each month becomes an exercise in faith and surrender… and somehow, miracles appear. May your workshop be graced, and may your busking keep touching the hearts and minds of the weary. I’m delighted to meet you—both your art and your music inspire me. 🕊️🎶

@DurgaMata Chaudhuri Good day, beloved, Even though it’s been a very busy couple of days, I wanted you to know I’ve been thinking about you—and how deeply I admire your authenticity and devotion to the work you’re called to do. What moves me most is how you turn knowing into daily practice: showing up, weaving your gifts into real moments of care, answering messages, coordinating help, remembering names and needs. The way you juggle a thousand small details and still make each person feel seen, loved, and cherished is rare. You embody the work. I was holding you in my heart yesterday during Jessica Saxton’s Justice Without Limits weekly Zoom. Jessica is a civil-rights advocate traveling across America serving notices and affidavits to commissioners about the unlawful taking of children by DCS/CPS and family/juvenile courts. She’s teamed up with her partner, Tanawah Downing (We Shall Be Free). I hopped off early for my Compassion Key class, then got several messages from a couple who sent me a friend request on FB at the end of June. They are severely disabled, had very little support, and were facing eviction. I did my best to assist; however, the judge ignored the motions and evicted them anyway. I later learned they’d also had their daughter taken by Arizona DCS. So I’m currently supporting this mother and stepfather; their baby was taken in December 2020. Both are deeply impacted by past violence from family and church leaders. Since August, I’ve been helping them out-of-pocket—funding assistance that, unfortunately, hasn’t produced a viable solution yet. Given their very limited resources and inability to retain experienced private counsel, I’m now researching ADA advocates and expect to cover those fees as I’m able. I haven’t had a chance to dive into your videos yet—an unexpected email last night from their attorney set a 9:15 a.m. hearing this morning, which sent them into panic. The state is pushing to set a trial date in early January to sever her rights as a mother. I helped draft a letter asking counsel to seek another hearing since he hasn’t reviewed DCS’s filings or addressed the outstanding records request from September 9. I’m doing what I can to ensure our filings make it onto the record and that ADA considerations are honored. They have no right to sever the mom’s rights or interfere with the mother–daughter bond.

I just wanted to add a little of my own experience to what I shared above. I first started to notice how the subconscious works when I was learning to drive. My brother taught me on a standard, and later I switched to my mom’s automatic. For a while my left foot kept reaching for a clutch that wasn’t there, all by itself. That’s when I realized how quickly the subconscious can be programmed by repetition—and how quickly it can reprogram once it gets a new message. This mechanism is part of how the human design operates, and it’s why the body breathes itself without our conscious attention on it. With the Soma+IQ breath work, we’re briefly overriding the usual automatic patterns of the autonomic system and using what is inherent in the design to our advantage. I also noticed that when I woke up from intense dreams, my body was still feeling the emotions from the dream, even though it “wasn’t real.” That showed me the subconscious doesn’t really distinguish between real and imagined; it responds to what we feel and focus on. Now, when I work with back pain, I picture myself before it ever started and ask my body, “Do you remember this?” From that place I say, “I command you to return to before I hurt my back,” and let that instruction sink in with every breath. It’s been a gentle but powerful way for me to work with my own healing. 💛

@DurgaMata Chaudhuri I chuckled at the windshield-wiper story—I’ve done the same after switching from my car to my daughters truck when my car was in the shop. My mother and father called me Lorna Lynne, and Sophia-Taniah came by divine intervention. After my life review I became a researcher, and learning about the “legal name” issue, It really bothered me—how a name gifted in love can be used against us. As an activist, when officials ask my name, I can honestly say: “My friends and family call me Sophia.” Your cards are beautiful, and your kindness is doing real good. I’ve been doing some deep soul-searching around the turmoil and the war on the innocent. What helps is flowing compassionate love toward the parts of me that feel sad, angery, confused, or frustrated—and noticing where I’m in conflict within. The heart isn’t confused; it’s when I get caught in mental ping-pong that I add to the chaos. I watched a talk about power today: those who seek power outside themselves are disconnected from true power. Seeking power through manipulation and trauma based mind constrol is actually weakness. True power is the light within. I had to look at where I lost faith and trust in the energy of creation. I was working so hard and getting nowhere—trying to change the reflection by polishing the mirror— I've discovered that in order to change the reflection I needed to turn within and change the projection. If the soul is projecting my lived experience through me, what beliefs are distorting the soul’s perfect light from shining through into form? Do I really trust the intelligent energy that creates worlds—or do I think I know better? This is where I’m learning surrender again. They say knowledge is power and I've discovered that I really know very little about how the world operates. I've been mentoring under Malika, she is a master law researcher. I was revisiting the Feed The Fam class and found I comprehended so much more than the first time I took the class. I’m now reminded of Florence Scovel Shinn’s The Game of Life and How to Play It. Maybe it’s time I listen again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJa5Ch0O4BI

@Favor Jerry So far, so good—Day 16. I’ve had some amazing releases with the breathwork and profound epiphanies and shifts with the Compassion Key this past week. It’s odd how the shifts are sometimes followed by disturbing waves that seem to undo them. Yeah, yesterday was trying—I’m integrating and processing it so I can move onward and upward. 💛 How about you?

@Favor Jerry I prefer not to share this number in a public forum! <3

@Nadeem Al-Hasan Thank you Nadeem. Have a glorious day!
