EXCLUSIVE: Erykah Badu Pens Essay on Making Time for Joy in Your Life
"The wise woman knows instinctually that in order to truly realize herself she must be still," writes ESSENCE cover girl Erykah Badu. "She realizes that the ultimate human JOY we seek can only be found in the full acceptance of who we really are and not in the avatars we've created to define ourselves."
Warwick SaintTHE PARADIGM OF JOY
There’s this natural instinct we have as human beings. Regardless of our position, religion, color or kind, we all have a primal desire for immediate, and almost unwavering, JOY. Eventually, through the experience of events and circumstance, we learn that this desire just may be unreasonable and unnatural. We watch our emotions sway as we are affected and influenced by the energy around us. Our own resistance to “unpleasantness” restricts our movement.
In a self-medicated state, we start to become addicted to our pain. In some cases it even starts to define us. We wear masks to protect ourselves and alas lose sight of who we are. Drained physically, spiritually and emotionally, we become ill and left with very little energy to cope. Our service to others becomes exhausting. Our breathing becomes shallow. JOY seems so far. Now we are stuck in our own minds, filled with random thoughts and collected fears.
This place has become our world. We know we are imbalanced. Something must change. How do we portion our busy lives to give the proper attention to our inner beings; the part of us that, at its core, regulates our mental, emotional and vital wellness? Perhaps we change our state of being by taking a look inside and simply changing our perspective and perception.
BE STILL. OBSERVE. IDENTIFY. ACCEPT. ELIMINATE.
The wise woman knows instinctually that in order to truly realize herself she must be still. She must give up things that no longer evolve her by first identifying what they are. She realizes that the ultimate human JOY we seek can only be found in the full acceptance of who we really are and not in the avatars we’ve created to define ourselves. When she is fully present and can see her true self clearly, she realizes that the very need for JOY dissolves along with the need to resist pain. She replaces them with humility, for she now trusts the natural flow of life. She becomes one with the all.
It is in that very moment of complete acceptance where she is transformed. It is in that state of awareness that she expands and contracts and breathes life into her thoughts. She now knows that those thoughts become her reality. She has always known. She is
THE MEDICINE WOMAN.
THE WITCH DOCTOR.
THE FORTUNE TELLER.
THE WISDOM KEEPER.
We must remember that we are powerful beyond measure. Each obstacle we are faced with is another opportunity to use our power. It is a step toward our greatness. After all, we have asked to be great.

Reviews for "Unlock the Power of Beautiful Nails at North Providence's Magic Nails"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I went to Magic Nails North Providence based on a friend's recommendation, but I was highly disappointed. The service was subpar, and the staff seemed disinterested in delivering quality work. My nails ended up chipping just a few days after getting them done, and the polish was uneven and streaky. The prices were also quite high for the poor quality provided. I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone.
2. Mark - 1 star - My experience at Magic Nails North Providence was terrible. The salon was unclean and lacked a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were rude and impatient, and they rushed through the service without paying attention to detail. My nails ended up looking sloppy and uneven, and the polish started chipping within hours. I would never visit this place again and would advise others to avoid it as well.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - Magic Nails North Providence failed to meet my expectations. The salon itself was outdated and in need of a renovation. The staff appeared disorganized and unprofessional. I requested a specific nail design, but the technician didn't understand my request and ended up doing something completely different. The final result was disappointing and far from what I had envisioned. The pricing was unreasonable for the poor quality of service provided. Overall, a disappointing experience.
