Conversations with the Inspiring Basu Aisha Ra

Today we’d like to introduce you to Basu Aisha Ra.

Peace greetings the journey of Aisha Ra Curry began when her life took a turn dramatically. There was a tragic incident in my family. My mother had transitioned from a natural cause. To me, I asked a question what is natural, is it your time to go what is the underlying issue? During the time off of grieving, in learning healing mechanism modalities has shifted in my mind physically mentally and spiritually.

Early 2014, Aishas’ mother transitioned into the ancestral realm as a result of cardiac hypertension. At the time, Aisha believed that she had reached the end of her life and there was no way that she could work through the pain of such a tragedy. Aisha being a single parent and losing the physical presence of her mother brought on anxiety and depression. Questioning and feeling as if this would be normal. However, this was far from true. Aisha was able to view her mother’s transitioning as a learning experience and decided that it was time to rid herself of old health habits and grow stronger in her entrepreneurial wellness practices.

Aisha expresses that it is vital for her to be her best healthy self as she has a daughter that looks up to her and counts on her for all the answers.

A few months later, she discovers and learned the benefits of gardening and Yoga. Gardening was definitely a healing mechanism for Aisha ra. It taught me how to be patient and grow in my journey. Taking just a seed and cultivating that into something beautiful. The root was the best part of growing my food and herbs. Once the root is formed then you know you have a good foundation. At the time, Aisha Ra was facing High levels of anxiety suffer from low self-esteem, but gardening is a great leveling ground. For myself, going through mental-health problems, being able to contribute to such a meaningful activity can be cathartic in boosting confidence and clarity. Gardening is an escape from stress.

So, relating gardening to Healing was everything because it taught me how to learn the mechanics about growth and love. Gardening showed Aisha that we are apart of Nature.

Through yoga, you can release the emotional toxicity stored in the body. Just as changing thought patterns can influence the body, changing the position of the body can influence the mind and facilitate emotional release. As you stretch your muscles and expand your range of motion, you shift the bodily patterns that trap emotional pain. Yoga poses, breathing practices, and meditation release the constriction and free the flow of the vital lifeforce energy known as sekhem. By practicing the culture of ancient Kemet i.e. kemetic Yoga, we open ourselves to the metaphysical Realms of Truth. Using the sacred science of Yoga as the key to practical transformation. “Through self-discipline, the path yoga offers a shortcut to ending the Pains of human existence and to exalt the pleasure(BLISS) of existence by achieving self-mastery and self-realization. The realization of one’s true nature: GOD” DR. MUATA ASHBY, Egyptian Yoga
I’ve made it to this part of my journey because of  SELF HEALING and support from those who innerstand and want to elevate. My divine purpose was awakened. My daughter, Jaylei being my biggest supporter; kept my hunger for positive growth constant. Give thanks to my ancestors, spirit guides and deities are known and unknown for guidance.
