Power Quotes from the Show
Removing her Breast Implants
โIt was just too much. This is weight Iโve been carrying, from the old mindset, and the old relationship, from an old life. Thatโs no longer who I am, but Iโm still carrying it. Itโs time to be brave and release it.โ Hadiiya Barbelย ย
โAnd the day I got that surgery, I filmed the video. I never did anything with it. But I cried and cried. And I held those breast implants, those silicone bags in my hands, which I still have, and I held them in my hand, and I cried. And I said, wow, this is what Iโve been carrying for so long.โ Hadiiya Barbel ย
Women and Movement
โAnd when we do that for ourselves, we are not seeking for others to bring it to us. Weโre not seeking or begging someone else to give it to us. Itโs coming naturally, the energy is moving. And we already know, for me, the power of movement, woman, movement, it could shift worlds, it could shift the entire planet.โ Hadiiya Barbel ย
Suffering from Depression
โWhat am I not allowing myself? Why am I not allowing myself to feel joy? Why am I focused on the problem? What am I not focused on a solution? Because thatโs normally where the emotions are coming from. My attention is there, but Iโm not thinking creatively. Iโm cut off from this energy, of expansion of new ideas, of new ways of joy and something is happening within me.โ Hadiiya Barbel ย
Medicine Wheel
โBut when you put this intention of it being a medicine wheel, and you realize that I am in the center of my world, this circle represents my universe, okay, the orbit is going around me. Iโm in the center, and Iโm moving the energy around me. Iโm controlling the energy with my energy in the middle. So as Iโm centered and relaxed and Iโm focused, and Iโm feeling the energy and the rhythm, so is the wheel moving with me. When Iโm off balance, I may drop it.โ Hadiiya Barbel ย ย ย
Turning a Womanโs Magic On
โHow are we nurturing our bodies? Iโm not just talking about the bubble bath. I know, thatโs pretty with flowers on it. I think thatโs the image of self care. But itโs different. Itโs more than that. Are we making time to sit in our sacred space? Are we doing the work thatโs needed on a consistent basis? When I say putting into our body, itโs not just food. What are you listening to? Are you listening to podcasts like this that can empower you? Are you over consuming the media? Or are you focusing your attention on the possibilities? So these things to me turn my magic on. Am I creating? When I want to turn my magic on I create something. I donโt have to be a professional painter to become an artistโs eye.โ Hadiiya Barbel ย ย
