How 2 Fish Perspectives

By Dr. Quandi Jackson A client of mine asked, “Dr. Quandi, how do you feel about fathers handing their daughters over to a man for marriage as if she is a piece of property. Do women need permission? Should the man need permission as well?” I shared my perspective. Ancient times reveal that "giving the bride away" meant that the father was passing over his possession (his daughter) for another man's possession (his wife) in exchange for dowry.  Back then, and still today in some cultures, parents arrange marriages for their children. Fortunately, in these times, women are held more in high regard. Whether the bride or the groom, the peaceful decision to commit to each other should be a spiritually guided decision. Both the bride and groom know what feels right. Each has his and her own unique journey in life. The Inner Guide trumps parental guide and opinion any day; however, dialogue about the decision to marry is beneficial to the loved ones of the brid...

Interview with Sushma Sharma (CEO and Founder of Konversai) and Pavita Singh How 2 Fish: As a founding member of Konversai, how has your role contributed to the connection of people all over the world? Sushma Sharma and Pavita Singh : Konversai’s platform is built to literally connect anyone, anywhere in the world, about any topic imaginable. Too often we are limited to our personal networks when we are seeking knowledge or information about a certain topic. But what if there is someone halfway across the world who has the exact knowledge and experience that you are looking for? Someone whom, if it wasn’t for a platform like Konversai, you would never have had the opportunity to meet? Everybody everywhere in the world has valuable knowledge, experiences, and skills that can benefit someone somewhere else in the world. Until recently, what was missing was a platform to form those connections. Konversai is that platform. Geography and the limitations of our personal ...

How 2 Fish: From a beauty perspective, explain the difference between internal and external transformation? Za Ayobami: Personally, I feel that what you feed yourself internally reflects itself outwardly. So, how are you feeding yourself internally? Are you nourishing your spirit; what are you nourishing it with - food, water, love, intention, affirmations, and continuous work on your spirit? You always have the option to choose. There’s an old saying that talks about finding the "fountain of youth”. Outwardly, as a part of youthfulness, your skin and hair have high amounts of collagen and elastin. Collagen is the protein in skin; keratin is the protein in hair; elastin provides elasticity for both the skin and hair. Looking deeper within, the fountain of youth begins within you. Beauty can't be bought in a bottle or a tube; that’s masking the true you. Eventually, the mask will come off and you'll have to beautify You - your Being - your inner person. Years ago,...

Under The Sun No Epidural Necessary through Quandi Jackson Disclaimer: I do not write these passages to make you think the way I think or know in my truth. I write to encourage you to think and to help you develop a truth that influences you to live your best life. “You’re either going to be pulled by a vision or pushed by pain.” –Rev. Michael Beckwith Hours, maybe days, of contractions. A prick in the back to numb the pain. Temporarily, the pain is soothed. Many attempts to push the baby out but it’s not quite time. Patience definitely awaits. A few more hours pass by. The uterus dilates a few more centimeters. More hours pass by. And then! Finally! It’s time to push again, and this time, the arrival of your little one appears. You smile, The baby cries. You cry. The baby just stares. Everyone is full of excitement, and you’re just glad that the something-pound bundle of joy is not inside of you anymore. Like the birthing process, life’s challenges come wi...

Under The Sun Intuition vs. Thought through Quandi Jackson Disclaimer: I do not write these passages to make you think the way I think or know in my truth. I write to encourage you to think and to help you develop a truth that influences you to live your best life. “ Intuition irons the kinks and silences the thought.”-Quandi Thought, perceived information through the five senses, comes with noise and confusion. Intuition is what it is – a direct communication line with Divinity; in-tune-ition. They both work in conjunction with one another. There are no separations in anything, because in Divinity, there are no separations. Out of nothing was created everything. Divinity is always at work; therefore, the intuition is always at work, allowing you to receive information, which guides you pass thought. The intuition acts as a medium between the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch) and the innergies of the Universe; it is your sixth sense, if you will....

Under The Sun The Experience (Why do we sit still?) through Quandi Jackson Disclaimer: I do not write these passages to make you think the way I think or know in my truth. I write to encourage you to think and to help you develop a truth that influences you to live your best life. “In silence, you are allowing yourself to hear the conversation between your intuition and the Universe.” –Quandi The Experience . This is that indescribable Thing , which is beyond the comprehending capacity of man; there is no language – no words – that can truly define this Experience, expressing Itself through all of life, no matter the effort to do so. Even the wisest man would never be able to describe this Thing in language. It…is…just…too…big. You can read many books, sit through lengthy seminars, and listen to several audios, but The Experience is something personal. Countless hours on your part may be spent seeking answers, in which no one can seem to satisfy your cu...
