The 3^rd Chakra embodies the color, yellow. This color symbolizes Energy, intellect, and new beginnings. In addition, self-confidence, empowerment and gut instincts are seated in the Solar Plexus Chakra. I indulged myself and foraged my closet and drawers to create my yellow-inspired costume, including my mother’s woven top (Michael Simon/NYC) and woven gold hat (my creation). Upon viewing the video, I smiled at the serendipitous inclusion of the overhead yellow light fixture—the Sun.

When I chose the song, Momma, Do I Gotta, by Beverly Kenney, I was amused and enthused by the simplicity of the lyrics. The indwelling message of the songstress’ question seems to imply self-doubt, reliance on another and challenges with decision-making. The doubt that the lyricist implied is sung so adeptly and innocently by Ms. Kenney.

During my Shamanic and Energetic healings, I often use the 7 Chakras as a foundational tool of discernment and exploration of the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual layers. My clinical observations, as an Occupational Therapist, provide additional considerations and therapeutic intervention to enhance one’s optimal functional skills, sensory processing and self-regulation, but not limited to.

My portrayal of someone’s challenges with this perceived predicament is meant to be light-hearted and willing to resolve it. The song’s meter reminds me of a nursery rhyme or children’s song. My dance stylings are rooted in Swing, Balboa, Collegiate Shag—mirthful movements intended to make the viewer smile. The lilting vocal stylings and phrasing, also, encourage Joy.

Accessing Joy and remaining light-hearted during these complicated times are laborious and often difficult to attain. However, I remain Hopeful and Hoop-ful!!!
