I am Yogi

"Yoga continues to shape my life", 24 year old yogi, Angelina Colon, said one

spring afternoon. "...it reminds me to come back to peace and come back to

self.

When asked who she was, Colon said, " I am sacred serpent, sacred

messenger, sacred, sacred, sacred. Still figuring out my purpose, yet I know,

I'm here to deliver a message." Then laughed awkwardly, not believing her

words were enough. "May I try again?" she asked. When the camera was reset

and turned on she restated who she believed she was yet, still

wasn't satisfied with the words she spoke. After asking the

question to herself, she stated several truths. She is Angelina

Colon, a "sacred serpent"(born Scorpio) who lives nomadically

in her van. As a creator and a lover, the most important truth

she knows is that she is still figuring out who "Angelina Colon"

is herself.

The nomad was raised in Maryland and Virginia and spent time

in Washington, DC, however; completed her 200 hours of Kemetic Yoga

training in Negril Jamaica. By the end of July 2015 Master Teacher, Yirser Ra

Hotep, presented her with a certification of completion of the Kemetic yoga

course.

Books such as, The Complete Yoga Book by James Hewitt, Know Your

Nutrition by Linda Clark, The Serpent Power by Musta Ashby, and many more

keep her in constant union with her practice while she sharpens her skills.

These are examples of tools that aid her in becoming a good practitioner as

well as a Yoga Instructor.

"Yoga... Reminds me to come back to peace; come back to self"

-ANGELINA COLON

When asked, what was Yoga to her,

Colon responded with one simple

answer, "Yoga...reminds me to come

back to peace; come back to self". Colon

also says that yoga is always shaping

here life, but more specifically when she

is dealing with the every day struggles

life may bring. Although she is still

unfolding herself, Ms. Colon knows one

truth, that there's beauty in the discovery

of self.

Meditation In Inglewood School District

Ronnie-Iman, a 14 year old ninth grader at City Honors Preparatory Academy High School, is not afraid to speak her mind; especially when it comes to her fellow peers. She noticed that many school districts in privileged neighborhoods have meditation and yoga programs, however, these health conscious practices are not currently being granted to her own (Inglewood Unified School District). In her attempt to convince her school to allow quiet time meditation, she wrote an essay � No. 2 ISSUE 1 �11

with several great points. Enclosed below is the full essay that she bravely shared.

Quiet Time In School There are several reasons why students should be allowed to practice mediation at school.

Experts agree that meditation leads to a wide range of positive effects for the body, mind

and behavior. Meditation increases flexibility and strength to the body and increases

intelligence in the mind. Meditation also helps better focus in behavior. In addition

meditation produces a combination of deep physiological rest and mental alertness.

Meditation is to think deeply or focus one’s mind for a period of time in silence or with the

aid of chanting for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.

“Meditation is twice as effective than any other stress reliever” (Kaplan). Studies show there

are many positive benefits to mediation, which is why students should be allowed to

meditate at school.

There are many benefits students, teachers and schools could get out of Quiet Time /

Transcendental Meditation. The most important benefit meditation could help with is

academics, grades and test scores. Studies show that students who practice meditation

get higher grades and preform better in school. With meditation, students improved by

10% in test scores. Another important benefit meditation could offer is within the area

inappropriate behavior and violence. Studies show schools that use Quiet Time decreased

65% in violent conflict over 2 years and 86% reduction in suspension at schools. “The

Quiet Time Program is the most powerful and effective program I’ve come across. “It is

nourishing to these children and provides them with an immense valuable tool for

life” (Dierke). There are many positive benefits to meditation, which is why students should

be able to practice meditation at school.There are many misconceptions about meditation.

Many people believe that meditation is a religious practice. Many people also believe that

meditation comes from Buddhism. People who are not exposed to meditation think that

chanting while meditating is mandatory. However, “meditation is not a religious practice, it

is a simple mental technique to help one to center the mind and relax the body”, (Chopar).

Chanting while meditating is not mandatory but may be practiced for religious or spiritual

purposes.

In conclusion, there are many benefits students can get out of meditation. First of all, after

meditation students will feel great. With 10-15 minutes of absolute silence studies also

show that students who meditate preform better

in school and get higher grades. Academic wise,

meditation benefits show a 10% improvement in

student test scores. Meditation also helps with

behavior in focusing, concentrating, participation

and effort. Meditation produces more

emotionally intelligent and wiser students of our

generation. Yes, students should be allowed to

practice meditation at school! Be the change

and add meditation to your daily school

schedules.

Who Am I

The question of your identity is one you can't escape, especially when you are inevitably labeled by those around you; weather you know them or not. As a young black women who is extremely eclectic, I have come to learn two truths about my existence: I am & I am forever unfolding. When I was a young teenager, every day was another identity crisis and although I still do have them now and again, I've begun to peal away different layers of myself . Artist, self expression-lover and visionary: I am the the editor-in-chief of a magazine, photographer, videographer and director as well as a content creator. � No. 2 ISSUE 1 �20
