iv never been one to follow in the footsateps of society or what many ppl of the world today seem to think. ever since i can remember i havedanced to my own rythem so to speak. anyway i just wanted to share with you guys a little something i have noticed since starting my dreads.i started them about 2 months ago and made a commitment for at least a year, that way i will know for sure if i want to keep em by then and realistically any time bafore that is not really long enough to know for sure. anyway i did dot start dreadding for spiritual reasons but woah can i ever tell you it is taking me in that direction.
about a year ago i became a vegitarian and i noticed the same thing happen, it raised my vibrations. i felt healthier my body was able to properly able to clear out the junk it was meant to and my digestive system started running smoothly. i was paying attention to what was going on in my body and i felt amazing. similar to my dreads i was only making a commitment for a short time and after i would resume my meat eating tendancies. but a funny thing happened, i started with chicken because its a lighter kind of meat well my body totally rejected it. i litterally got sick. i almost couldnt move it hurt my body so badly when i ate itafter being free of it for so long - just one piece of chicken.
when i did my hair in dreads i was misinformed but i wanted to do them in a way that was not going to hurt my hair.understand now that backcombing does hurt your hair a bit but definately not as much damage as a loctician would have done, also i am very glad to have avoided the wax - nasty stuff and i didnt feel it would be good for my hair anyway. i went with aloe instead.there were a few things that i promised myself when i did my dreads the first one is i will not cut my hair another is i will not dye my hair. i realize now that beforei dreadded i was ignorant to the fact that i was really hurting my hair more than i could ever know.you see before i did my hair this way i didnt care about the ingredients in my shampoo i also mucked my hair up on a regular basis with gels mousse hairspray curling ironsdying etc.......i never would have imajined it but i have formed a bond with my locks, i dont use anything with chemicals in it on my hair anymore and i am becoming aware of how detramental those things are to us even by being absorbed by the scalp. i must say that dreadding has raised my awareness and therefore my vibrations and is a stepping stone in my spiritual path that i never would have imagined or thought possible.
