We are very excited to be playing at this venue. This could be our new musical home…

Were you Aware of Chicagohenge? It is like Stonehenge, except that the alignment takes place in Chicago!

from timeout.com/chicago
Half-natural, half- man-made, Chicagohenge refers to the phenomenon that occurs twice a year during the spring and fall equinoxes (the official start of each respective season), when the sun rises and sets directly east and west. Because Chicago’s streets are aligned on a north-south grid system, that allows for gorgeous views of the sun hanging low between the buildings on the city’s east-west streets—especially in the Loop, where towering skyscrapers offer the perfect frame for sunrise and sunset. You can typically view Chicagohenge for a few days after the equinox, too. 

Big arterial streets in the Loop (like Madison, Kinzie, Randolph or Lake Streets) usually offer picturesque set-ups. Try not to fret if you miss this one, though—there’s always next time! 

LIVE AND LIVESTREAM!

Putting on events that coincide with the Spiral Dance, the 8 points around the Wheel of Life, brings me joy, alignment, breakthroughs. MUSIC! I love it! I have been doing Medicine Wheel Circles at these points for many years now. Excited to add a trip downtown for #Chicagohenge, for another great Equinox experience. Perhaps I will see you there! I will probably choose Lake Street, then head Straight to the Lake!

Then just a few days later, we will meet up at the KATALYST for a Night of Original Reggae.
13257 S. Baltimore and bring in the Autumnal Equinox with Music.

Add this event to your itinerary.

Description:

Since 1989. This event is the flagship of the Africa International House. This 4 day event has stayed perfectly true to its mission: to promote, preserve and propagate African American culture. The AFA is a series of festivals within a festival built around African culture: art, music, dance, history and current interests and pursuits. Stimulation is the operative word used to describe the African Festival of the Arts (AFA). The visitor’s first rush of sights, sounds and sweet and savory smells are almost overwhelming. The senses can barely take it all in. The event site spans more than twelve acres and each one of them is jam packed with cultural entertainment, education, shopping, food, drink and fun including: • A Fine Arts Pavilion where more than $1M in art sales are exchanged. • An African Market. • A Drum Village. • Three entertainment stages. • National music headliners. • Sponsorable pavilions that focus on African Heritage, literature, automotive, family and children, technology, spirituality, business/finance, green/energy, wellness/fitness, dance, education, film, fashion and others. • An international food court.

Sirius Rising Reggae Music Experience is moving on up to a MINI FESTIVAL.
A collaboration with LAX Energy Worx in Hazel Crest, just south of Chicago.

Summer is the BEST at Light Being Wellness & we are grateful to present the next event in this concert series. The goal of this concert series is to present music in alignment with the celestial events along the Spiral Dance Medicine Wheel. That is 8 concerts per year. We missed the Summer Solstice. This has been the goal since the first cd release in  2000. Look how long it has taken for this to become a reality…

Anyhoo, we really enjoyed playing at the Joplin Marley Studio, and perhaps we will play there again sometime. In the meantime, we are headed over to LAX Energy Worx for the Mid-Summer SIRIUS RISING Reggae Music Experience. We open the set with Kemetic Dub music: dub music with spontaneous and live improv Kemetic Chants. The concerts are live and live-streamed. In fact, you can still watch the previous livestreams for a small donation. This event will feature songs about the Milky Way and the star Sirius, which begins to rise with the Kemetic new year, July 21 and lasts until August 12 or so. For more information on Sirius, visit https://lightbeingwellness.com/the-sirius-star-system/
https://lightbeingwellness.com/sirius-rising-and-the-dog-days-of-summer/

At this event, there will also be delicious vegan food catered by Chef Whit. So, you have three options: LiveStream: $11 suggested donation  (Name Your Price)
Music will start around 6pm…

The Event starts at 5pm:
LIVE & DIRECT: $11 suggested donation. (Name Your Price)

Live Music and Vegan Food: $40.

We are looking forward to seeing you there for this year’s SIRIUS RISING Reggae Music experience in collaboration with Vegan Eat & Greet & Music Festival at LAX Energy Worx, Live and LiveStream! One Love!

I am so grateful that the Idea popped into my mind about how to schedule these concerts. The “normal” method of time and space e, growing weaker each year, doing the same things at the same time of day, day of week, was well. slowly draining me.

Now that my life is centered around the Solar Sidereal calendar, the Sirius Sidereal calendar, the Lunar calendar, the Galactic Calendar, plus the Calendar of Neterian Holy Days, Life is really flowing for me more abundantly instead of time and chaos perpetually stopping me.

This month there are 2 Neterian Holy Days. These will occur the same date every year…

Joy Bliss Breathing thee the Divinity

It is a blissful experience to breathe in Divinity though the nostrils and experience the ecstasy of switching the awareness of  ego personality to the fullness of my Divine nature instead.

At the Remembrance of Amun, located in the Temple of Amun at Luxor, in the Holy of Holies. This was discovered, or remembered by Sebai Maa on one of his visits there.

Myrrh has an affect on the Breath and being able to experience the Bliss.

4 Great Truths
Dua ra Cheft
Dua Asar

http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/soul.htm

• Akhu (Akh, Khu, Ikhu) – This was the immortal part, the radiant and shining being that lived on in the Sahu, the intellect, will and intentions of the deceased that transfigured death and ascended to the heavens to live with the gods or the imperishable stars.
• While the Khat lies in the tomb, ready to be animated by the Ka, the Ba might be traveling the underworld with Ra. While the Ab is with the gods, the Khaibit might be with the Ba on the barque, or in the tomb eating some offerings. At the same time, the Akhu, Sekhem and Sahu might be contentedly living in the stars, looking down at the earth.

from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_conception_of_the_soul

numerous parts of the soul:

• Khet or the “physical body”
• Sah or the “spiritual body”
• Ren or the “name, identity”
• Ba or the “personality”
• Ka or the “double”
• Ib or the “heart”
• Shut or the “shadow”
• Sekhem or the “power, form”

Collectively, these spirits of a dead person were called the Akh after that person had successfully completed its transition to the afterlife.^[2][a] Egyptologist R. David,^[3] at the University of Manchester, explains the many facets of the soul as follows:The Egyptians believed that the human personality had many facets—a concept that was probably developed early in the Old Kingdom. In life, the person was a complete entity, but if he had led a virtuous life, he could also have access to a multiplicity of forms that could be used in the next world. In some instances, these forms could be employed to help those whom the deceased wished to support or, alternately, to take revenge on his enemies.^[3]

Akh (Spirit)
https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/soul/

The Akh is a tricky concept perhaps best understood as the effective spirit of the deceased. When a person died, their Ka left their body. The Opening of the Mouth ritual allowed the Ba to leave the body. The akh was the result of the successful union of the Ba and Ka which occurred if the person’s heart passed the test in the Hall of Judgment. Thus the primary purpose of the funerary texts and rituals was to help the deceased become an akh.

Although the akh was not itself divine, it shared some characteristics with the gods and was immortal. During the Old Kingdom, only kings and gods are identified with the akh, but as time progressed all people could hope to be transfigured as one of the blessed dead. Living people could pray to the akh of their ancestors for help, but the akhu could also inflict punishments on the living if not appeased.

The akh also relates to the effectiveness of a person when they undertook any act considered glorious or righteous. For example, a king building a temple for a god or a man feeding and clothing the poor could both be considered akhut (that which is akh).

REGGAE MUSIC REBORN IN 2022

And for the Reggae fans, I am sure you must be wondering what caused this Spiritual Direction and Intense Focus of this Music! Well it was my personal musical healing journey. To be honest, there is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much toxic masculinity and colonialism for me to continue as exclusively a Reggae Artist. Too much religious oppression and spiritual enslavement. Too. much Caucasity involved in the Reggae Music Industry. I needed to get more in touch with Divinity, with the Divine Feminine, and not be involved in a movement that required me to remain silent.

So, after decades of exploring other Indigenous Practices and Spiritual technologies, I landed in Ancient Kemet. These are the teachings that allowed me to literally CHANGE NY MIND. To transform myself into My Higher Self.

If you notice, all of my music has been about putting teachings of the Four Directions to Music. I stayed in Kemet for 12 years so far, Moree to come.

During the Ancient African Adorations sessions, we dive deep into the teachings offered for the Holy day, then towards the end, the Song Writing Enchantress appears, and creates new music on the spot, based on the Scriptures or reflections of the Teachings. Sometimes, the teachings and writings of Sebai Maa (Dr. Muata Ashby) & Seba Dja (Dr. Karen “Dja” Ashby) are presented. Sometimes, just the personal reflections of the Chantress and Overseer of AstMaataJi Temple of Divine Light Healing and Sweet Sounds, Arit Neter S Mery Maati, aka Tchiya Amet.

This Music is a reflection of my spiritual journey, and is being shared to enhance your own journey as well.

And, now it is time for …..MORE GREAT ORIGINAL REGGAE MUSIC!!! SPRINQUINOX 2022

Due to Social Distancing, there are only 20 seats available for the Live Concert…
