The Holistic Health Revival

My Journey In Search Of Black Wellness

By: Bman Ra Byrd

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Happiness is holistic. Holistic means completeness. The expression, state, or condition of euphoria in all phases of life is an ambitious goal that most of us dream about. Living a whole life following the principles of Ma'at should be considered a success. Wellness is the main ingredient for obtaining unspeakable joy.

This book concerns my holistic health journey and the melanin men and women responsible for my knowledge and accomplishments. What does success look like to oneself? Success for me is living free of prescription medicines and free of any ailments. My body, mind, spirit, and soul achieve the mission the creator (Amma/Amen) envisioned for me. I write this book to help all those who strive to promote and live a healthy lifestyle.

I believe wellness is the new Black currency. I am in my early sixties, continuously attempting to succeed in my quest to live long, be healthy, and not require doctor-prescribed medication. Illness can be fatal as well as expensive. In the world we live in today, when you die, your loved ones may be unable to afford to bury you. Insurance is overpriced for most of us. Good dependable health care may not be available to you. If you have access to adequate health care, the pharmaceutical companies target you to make you a happy customer forever.

By sharing my journey, you get the benefit of my research. I will tell you who influenced my wellness as I traveled through life. This document will give you an awakening to the revelation timeline of my life. I will discuss the Black influencer who, at the time, was molding my holistic habits during my marriage, parenting, and continued work life. You will receive the "cheat code" and the "cliff notes." I have made mistakes along the way, so you should not have to make the same ones. None of us are perfect.

However, we all can improve or maintain our health. The Black forbearers have proved it. The scholars, elders, and Jegnas mentioned in this book mentored me from afar. They gave me leads for exploring. Lots of books to read. Many case studies, information, and references. Most of all, methods for personal trial, error and growth.

I want to challenge the reader of this book to take the information provided and act upon what you have read that resonates with you. We have one life in the form of now. If health is not an issue, this book may provide preventative information to ensure your health stays good. One thing about our health, it is genuinely minute-to-minute and day-to-day. To the creator be the glory!
