Sometimes I have these stare offs with my dog Kimi and I swear we are like energetically syncing our love when we just stare into each others. Also it’s like a soul you can love and stare into each other’s eyes and have it not be weird or someone break the stare. I’m always so in the moment with her when that happens.
Cooking primarily especially trying a new recipes and chopping ingredients. I always found it therapeutic because it was mindfulness in action. An escape coupled with a sense of accomplishment. I consider meditation to be focus training. Once I understood that I realized I could tap into it in a myriad of ways. I actually wrote about it. https://harmoniousbalance.substack.com/p/mindfulness-a-powerful-tool-for-balancing?r=2q6vf7
Yes breath work is a great one. Forgot about that one. Gets you so plugged into your body because of the intention behind the breathing 😮💨.
I love your relationship with Nala Beans 🫘. It reminds me of Kimi and I and that is truly refreshing and beautiful. I am not the only one with this divine connection to an animal 😂
By divine connection, you mean lowkey obsessed? Hehe we are indeed supernatural besties and I love that you have that with Kimi and her amazing ears. 🥰.
I stumbled upon the amazing grounding effects of breath work when I was going through intense vocal training in my teens. The intention of breath is a powerful tool that I help other use now when removing toxic energy and finding the balance.
Gyal!!!! The way I just cackled the cackles of all cacklosity!!!!! 😂😂😂 i mean…everyone says that but intuition tells me you legit. Let’s discuss in the dms 🤓
those warm showers are absolutely priceless. In that moment, it feels like everything else falls away—the world, its chaos, its demands. None of it matters. All that exists is this beautiful energy creating a space for me to connect with myself on a deeper level. It’s like tapping into a reservoir of subtle wisdom that I wouldn’t even know existed on a regular day.
those brief moments are so magical, and honestly, even trying to explain it feels like I’m doing it a disservice—it just doesn’t capture the depth of what it truly is.

I like the reframe of calling it focus training!
Walking — I choose to either be very present or I let my mind wander to create.
Writing/performing music keeps me intensely present. Also when I do breath work or playing with Nala Beans.

Loved how a good convo inspired a fun collab 🙌🏽💃🏽
Also love that you use breath work as a mode of healing for yourself and as an offering to others!
The low key obsessed SENT MEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Exactly that. It is exactly that. 😂😂🤣🤣
TB, what’s nala beans?
She’s my housemate’s cat and my lil protector and transmuter of negative energy. 🥰
oh wow!
Are you an animal person?
not yet. But i'm curious.
Transmuter of negative energy! That’s brilliant. That can be a post title.
right?!!! your eyes are sharp!
I really should dedicate a post to the Nala Beans of this world. They do important work.
If you do, I totally would collab on that and I promise my follow through game is on point.

This is a breath of fresh air, to be honest. I meditate in the shower as well, so I'm with you guys on that one.
I wish I had the privilege to take walks but Lagos is a little too noisy for that. Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this

It really doesn’t but still explained it as wonderfully as words allowed. It’s definitely an experience/vibe
thanks, BB.

Yes 🙌🏾! We have another shower meditator. Love that for all of us.
Thank you so much 😁! This was one was super fun to write ✍🏾 with Tobi.
hahahaha! i love the shower meditator slang. I’m stealing that one.
