One Month Without Worry

One Month Without Worry

August 1, 2020, is the perfect time to accept the challenge of one month without worry, a month of deeper peace and ease. Within this episode, a complimentary guided meditation is included. I wrote and produced this piece to bring peace, health, and grace into your life.

Download and use the meditation every day, twice a day, for one month; when you first wake up and the last thing when you go to bed. You will experience and gain one worry-free month – imagine what that can do for your life!

From all of us at KOKOBÉRNA, here is to peace of mind and progress toward one human race steeped in love.

What Will I Gain From Not Worrying For A Month?

  • A month with less worry and anxiety
  • A month with more ease of body, a quieter mind, and a soul that is at rest
  • A month with more space for creativity, intuition, inspiration, and joy
  • A month to tune into something deeper and more true
  • A month to rediscover your connection to source
  • A month of grace
  • A month of peace, and
  • A month of leaving the future to itself

The Power to Choose Love

The Power to Choose Love

In this episode of The KOKOBÉRNA Podcast series, host Belinda Kokoeka Bassey Ephraim of KOKOBÉRNA discusses the idea that there is power in choosing to walk away from the seat at the table; that by walking away, we choose love as the way forward; and in so doing, we each individually unite as a global collective with the purpose to use our talents and serve for the highest good of all involved.

If we want to see the change we wish to see in the world, we must start inside, with ourselves. We must start with love. We must continue to challenge ourselves, and our community, to be better listeners and better advocates for one another. When you see or witness an injustice, no matter how slight, say something; speak up. Understanding leads to true empathy, true love, and right action. No more microaggressions*. No more “racism or inequality doesn’t exist” statements.
Together, we must ACTION. Let’s do better TOGETHER. The time is now. Becoming a better ally begins with making a long-term commitment to educating yourself on the dynamic realities marginalized people face. We are sharing this guide for those with social privilege to understand the wide range of ways to use that privilege to help marginalized communities, with resources from articles to charitable causes to guide that journey—wherever you may be.
This personal growth work is ongoing, and difficult, yet necessary to create a world where everyone truly belongs and prosperous. My hope is that through navigating this guide and reflecting on your reality, it will become easier for you to see, and believe, and say that #alllivesmatter and that #blacklivesmatter too. Activisim and Allyship Guide and a list of anti-racism resources

*Microaggressions are a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority.
