  Ritual ,   Ancestry & Sacred Transformation as Part of Your GLP-1 Journey Transformation isn’t just about the body. It’s about creating sacred space for mind, body, and spirit to align — guided by ritual, ancestry, and presence. My introduction to Patrice Malidoma Somé came through his book, Of Water & Spirit . His story wasn’t just intellectually deep — it was the kind of depth that feels like sitting around a fire, listening to your uncle or grandfather share stories of ancestors while children run and play nearby. I couldn’t help but imagine that I, too, had a story like that — but mine was buried in the consciousness of the many who came before me. Somé highlights African shamanic traditions , community rituals , ancestral wisdom , and spiritual initiation . He spoke about family and interconnectedness without ever having to explicitly say it — much like we describe our relationships today when we shrug and say, “It’s complicated.” His stories show how ritual, ...

Healing Mind, Body & Spirit – My GLP-1 Journey by Tonua Norice | GLP-1 Mind • Body • Spirit Reflection Searching for Answers: Faith, Frustration, and Unworthiness I looked for answers.

Around that same time, I began exploring African spirituality , the Ma’at principles of balance...

What if I’m not ready? Here’s what I’ve learned: “What if” is just a fancy delay tactic. It sounds like planning, but it’s really fear — and fear keeps us from making the first move on our health, our creative work, or that business idea whispering to be born. It’s time to graduate from “What If” to “What’s Next.” Start small. Break your ideas into bite-size steps. Don’t worry about the whole mountain — just take the hill in front of you. That might mean walking for five minutes, writing one page, or posting one video. Let momentum meet you in motion. Begin showing up in your life as the person who follows through. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be real. Explore More Reflections → Part o...
