Spiritual Protection, Heritage, and Boundaries: Why Modality Guards Its Peace
Spiritual Protection, Heritage, and Boundaries: Why Modality Guards Its Peace
Spiritual protection is not a trend or a reaction — it is wisdom, especially for someone like me who has lived across countries, cultures, and spiritual landscapes. I’ve met thousands of people throughout Belize, Chicago, California, Indianapolis, and San Antonio. With that exposure comes deep awareness: not everyone who approaches you comes with pure intentions.
In recent years, one of the most targeted parts of my identity has been my hair — the fullness, the curls, the strength. While some see beauty, others see opportunity. Spiritual opportunity. And that’s where discernment becomes essential.
My Hair Is Heritage — Not a Trend
When people obsess over my hair, want to cut it, braid it, collect it, or “style it,” they often don’t understand the history behind it.
My ancestry is a mix that carries the story of the Caribbean:
Mayan Indigenous roots
West African ancestry
British lineage
East Indian ancestry
This deep mixture didn’t form from convenience — it came through centuries of oppression, colonization, discrimination, survival, and forbidden unions during eras where interracial families were shamed or punished. We live in a world where people of mixed race are often times look down and discriminated against Sadly, our curly hair is often times envied and lusted after. They want the hair, but they don’t want the trials that came with it.
My hair is the physical result of generations who endured and overcame.
It cannot be spiritually copied.
It cannot be destiny-swapped.
It cannot be taken through ritual, envy, or imitation.
You cannot steal what bloodline produced.
You cannot replicate what God authored.
When People Try to Take Your Hair
In cities like San Antonio — where brujería, spellwork, botanicas, and spiritual rituals sit on every corner — hair is often used for:
offerings
spellwork
binding rituals
jealousy-driven intentions
energy manipulation
Growing up Christian and Catholic, I never imagined people used hair for spiritual control. But when multiple people began offering to cut, braid, or “help style” my hair — repeatedly and insistently — the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
That inner voice said, “This is not admiration. This is intention.”
Discernment is a gift, and when God reveals, He expects you to act.
So I guard my hair.
I guard my space.
I guard my peace.
And I guard Modality.
Why This Matters in San Antonio
San Antonio is a beautiful city, but spiritually, it is a hotbed of:
brujería
curanderismo
energy pulling
spellwork
ritual swapping
envy-driven spiritual interference
Not everyone walks in with clean intentions.
Some walk in spiritually curious.
Some spiritually confused.
Some spiritually manipulative.
This is why Modality is grounded in clear boundaries and a faith-based foundation.
Even Christians Cross Boundaries
And here’s a truth many avoid:
Not only non-believers try to cross spiritual boundaries — sometimes Christians do too.
I’ve had people claim to be Christian, walk into my studio, and insist:
“Let me pray over you.”
“Let me lay hands on you.”
“Let me intercede for you.”
Even after I say:
“I do not want prayer over me.”
“I keep my spiritual life private.”
“No, thank you.”
They push.
And push.
And push again.
Some Christians use prayer as a form of control, not compassion.
They believe their voice, their emotion, or their “authority” must be inserted into your spiritual life — even when God has not instructed it. But prayer should never violate someone’s boundaries. Prayer should never be forced.
The Holy Spirit revealed to me very clearly:
“Control disguised as prayer is still control.”
Silent Prayer Is Biblical
I am in a new season of my life where my prayers are silent.
Not performative.
Not loud.
Not for display.
Not for a crowd.
Silent.
Private.
Intimate.
Between me and God, not me and an audience.
In my Pray Pilates classes, I encourage clients:
“You do not need me to intercede for you.
Your prayer reaches God on its own.
Your voice is enough.
Your spirit is enough.”
Jesus said to go into your secret place and pray in private — not loudly on corners for others to see. Yes, the apostles prayed for each other, but laying on of hands was reserved for specific moments of anointing, healing, and commissioning — not everyday interactions. And certainly not for crossing boundaries someone already set.
Prayer should empower — not invade.
Modality Is a Sanctuary
Modality is protected.
It is covered in prayer.
It is a place of:
✨ peace
✨ clarity
✨ boundaries
✨ wellness
✨ identity
✨ spiritual safety
✨ emotional intelligence
✨ cultural respect
We do not allow:
brujería
energy pulling
destiny-swapping
manipulation disguised as prayer
spiritual intimidation
or boundary-crossing rituals of any kind
This is a wellness studio, not a spiritual playground.
Why This All Matters
Because when you know who you are…
When you know where you come from…
When you know what God has shown you…
When you carry heritage, calling, and protection…
You can no longer tolerate spiritual confusion, disguised intentions, or people trying to “take” what they didn’t build.
My hair carries generations.
My boundaries carry wisdom.
My spirit carries discernment.
My studio carries purpose.
And everything God has given me is protected.
No weapon formed will prosper — not here, not now, not ever.
