Main Points:

  • Grounding meditation + invocation
  • Taking time to ground in your own energy & integrate so we may invite more spaciousness into our lives
  • Recognizing that we all have different ways in which we can support BIPOC
  • Working to make sure that there is diversity in my own creative projects to include this podcast as well as people that I am following on social media
  • Educating ourselves and having the uncomfortable conversations with people we know + taking the responsibility to speak up against racism
  • Digging deep into ourselves to let go of old programming’s related to racism & white supremacy
  • Addressing trauma that is stuck in our bodies through the breath

Some journal prompts that have been helping me: 

  • How can I create more spaciousness in my life?
  • What things are keeping me small?
  • How am I nurturing myself and thus my community?
  • How does the topic of racism & white supremacy make me feel?
  • Where is it felt in my body? Where has it come from?
  • How can I begin to move this energy out to invite in Love?

* Friendly reminder to not overwhelm yourself. Recognize that this is lifelong work to continue breaking down these systems that no longer serve the good of all *
